An Important Opinion by an Eminent New

the Supreme Court of tho State Of New
York, from which we quote:
Eyes, sir; I nave been on the bench for

Angling for the CAL"

AtNumata. a town of about four thou
sand inhabitants, we secured speci-
mems of the ''ai," accelerated Japanese
fish belonging to the Salmonide (the
Saline altevelis of authors). These fish
are caught in a peculiar manner. After
whipping the stream with flies, as for
trout. and securing a fish, a fine gut
line is passed through the nostrils and
fastened to a line held in the hand:
trailing behind the fish thus fastened,
which is simply a decoy, are several
bright hooks which flash in the sunlight
and attract other fish. The decoy is
now gently led up stream, and the fish,
in darting after it, get snagged on the
hooks. Horse-hoof parings, used as
lures, are said to be successful with
''ai;" they are also caught with weirs.

Cure for Corns: Soak the feet we'll

corn as can be done without pain, and
bind up the part with a piece of linen

from herring or mackerel. After three
or four days the dressing may be found
Iof q soft and healthy texture, and less
liable TO the formation of q new corn

recipe from Il reliable source which we
can not well doubt, and we publish it

Farmers sometimes suffer greatly
