Catching smeltsfln Lake champlain.

Winter fishing is now being enjoyed
by those vino are fond of the sport.
The lake at Burlington has just closed
in, and the smelt-fishers have moved
their little huts on runners out to the
accustomed grounds Modern improve
ments have made this sport one of the
most luxurious Imaginable. Instead OF
kneel;ng in the cold wind beside a con-
stantly freezing hole in the ice. the fish
erman now sits at ease in his neat little
movable house, warmed by a stove, and
keeps watch of two or three lines let
down through holes in the floor and
corresponding holes in the ice. He
smokes and rejects, or talks with a
companion, and is as comfortable as a
millionaire before his CRATE OF glowing
sea-coal. Besides being a lazy amuse-
ment smelt- fishing is pretty profitable
employment, as the fish are exceeding
ly tlothsome, and bring good price in
the local markets. An attentive and
persistent fisherman will make about
as much out OF his days sport as q
laborer who comes home sore and stiff
at night with his hard learned pittance.
The genius who sits on his bench and
maniEulates the little lines is usually a
Jolly, hospit able sort OF a fellow, and
is perfectly willing that the blue -nosed
skater should seek refuge occasionally
| in his cosy little house, and even
| permits him to handle one OF the lines
for while. If he should chance to
bring young lady companion with
him. the ancient fisherman becomes a
model of gallantry. He lays his black
| pipe under the stove, resigns his warm
seat to the fair one, and places all his
piscatorial resources at her command.
| 1t is pleasant to note the immense salts
faction with which he resigns to her the
| line upon which he has just detected a
| timid nibble. and when, following his
directions, she hooks the unhappy fish
and draws it up through the ice with q
4 little scream of mingled terror and de.
i light, his eyes shine with appreciation
4 and pie sure, and he feels as proud as
! did the Canadian WOodsman who lnl-
tiated the Princess Louise into the mys
teries OF salmon-fsh:ng. But when he
removes the struggling victim and cooliy
bites out its eyes with his teeth for
4 fresh bait, the situation becomes en-
barrassing in the extreme, and the cosy
hut no longer possesses any attraction
for the young skaters They beat
pre- ipitate retreat, leaving the hospita
i Bile proprietor in such q state of aston
ishment and perplexity that he stick:
the Hsh's eye into his pipe and puts
1 slice of plug tobacco on the.hook. There
is such bewilderment in the memory O

An accident happened at Coburn
on Saturday evening which might have
been much worse. One of the feet of
Mr.. Ammon Grenninger's cook stove
was loose and the stoye was 10y some ac-
cident upset. A little boy about three
years old was sitting behind the stove
on the iloor and the hot water on the
stove was thrown upon him. The poor
hoy was pretty badly scalded but is do
Ing well under the circumstances.
just such accidents haye happened so
frequently and often with fatal results,
that it ought to be made a penal ofTense
for any firm to manufacture stoves at
which the feet are not perfectly secure.
But then it must be considered that
this is agrand glorious country and that
our honorable legislators have no time
to attend to such trltles-dt ten dollarS

The Dellc ~ En11a1I a6soo married.
On Wednesday lass ske sAlrd isss., 90 Of he
prettiest and pIeasaniest weddinss seen 10 years
in tallahassee was cslebraael by tbs Rsr. DR.
Garter, ID 81 Johns Episcopal Church. Itvas
that Of Miss Mary e. Bailey. nisce Of DR.. and
Mrs. A. B. Hawkins, and Mr.. William @. Lewis.
of the banking house of B. O. Lewis q Sons,
both of this city.
The wedding ceremony was announced for
half past four O'Clock in the afternoon and, long
before that time, St. Johns church was filed
with the family connections and many friends
of the young couple, from this city, Monticello,
Jacksonville, and more remote points. For all
these the ushers, Messrs. e. v. r Schrader and
d. B. Meginniss, had found seats, though none
were left for the crowd of curious spectators who
thronged the doorways. The interior of the
little church was very pretty with the Christmas
decorations that still remained in place, and the
masses OF beautiful flowers which loving hands
had placed upon the altar and within the chan
Gel rail. The church was lighted, and on either
side of the altar marble pillars supported can
delabr@ Of lighted wax candles
To the music of the wedding march the bridal
party entered the church, and moved the length
of the main aisle to the altar First came Dr.
and Mrs Hawkins, then the four bridesmaids
leaning on the arms of their attendant grooms-
men, and finally the bride and groom. MUIR
muir of admiration greeted the appearance of the
bride, who never looked more lovely than upon
this occasion, and who certainly sustained her
title of the belle of Tallahassee" She was
simply but richly dressed in a heavy white bro
caded satin, and had not sought to enhance her
beauty by the addition to her dress of flowers or
ornaments of any kind. The bridesmaids, also
in white were Miss Mamie and Miss Maggie
Bailey, Miss Clara Lewis and Miss Clyde Lamar,
and the groomsmen were Messrs. - Rutledge
of South Carolina, Jefferson Lamar, Edward
Lewis and William Dcnham.
After the simple but beautiful marriage service
of the Episcopal church the bridal party reentered
their carriages, and were driven TO the residence
of Dr. Hawkins, where for the next two hours
they rendered a reception to their numerous
friends. The house was beautifully dressed with
greens and flowers for the occasion, and, despite
lis ample proportions, was filled to its utmost
capacity. The wedding supper was as elegant
as though prepared by Delmonico. and the
health of the newly married couple was repeat
eddy pledged in brimmng bumpers Of cham
payne. The presents were very numerous and
elegant, but with great good taste they were not
displayed
The newly made bride and groom left on the
7.30 train that evening for Jacksonville en- route

honeymoon have been spent
