Of Messrs. Laphany Sewen, DAVIS, Palmer,
Morgan, Groome and Farley, has had imposed
upon it the arduous duty Of visiting the var1-
GUS lakes, ponds, bays, rivers and oceans which
are more or less Inhabited by piscatorial races,

what bold pretenses congressman will resort
to in order to have the expenses of their sum-
!mer vacations paid by the people.
