Fish in Muskrat Holes.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MONTPELIER, Jan. 10-Fishing through the
ice in the numerous small lakes in northern In
diana is INDUCED in by many for pleasure and
profit but the residents at 1.-THE Lakes" FIVE
miles west of here in the Lost township"
have dropped on to plan that makes the build
ing of fish shanty unnecessary. The muskrat.
which is a numerous quantity IN the largest of
the two lakes, has honeycombed the peaty soil
on its margin with dens. from each of which he
has dug small canal, a little below its level in
to the lake. One of party, the other day. on
breaking into a muskrat den, discovered
it to be full of lake bass. A basket
was filled from the hole with the finest of fish.
The report set the country a-gog, and further
search has been prosecuted vigorously. with
great success one hole yielding over two hun
dred fine fish. Opinions vary as to the cause.
Some hold that nature teaches the bass to hole
up IN this way; others claim that it is fish
trap made by the amphbious rat, who closes up
the canal when the trap is full of fish and uses
them for food during the winter. In either case
the residents at 1.-THE Lakes" have fat take
the gamiest and best fish that swims in Indiana

HAZING ATOUR COLLEG ES.

The hazing is always done by the sophomores or freshmen seniors and juniors are supposed to be too sedate, and only the childish lower classmen indulge in such pastime. Hazing con- sists in having number of the mem- bers of one class attack few of their opponents, and force them to go through many ridiculous pranks, till they are satisfied. To illustrate
 Late one evening fellow-classman came huiriedly into my room, wanting me to go out and help rescne few freshmen. Of course we immediately started, and in few minutes were in front of large building. from which groans were foating. but the doorway was guarded by forty or fifty sophs. Suddenly thirl story window was thrown open and 8 man jumped reck- les>ly to roof over the sidewalk and rolled to the ground, stunned. Mean while the freshmen were collecting their forces, and now tried to force their way into the building. but were repulsed then hand to hand fight took place, in the middle of the street, and many man had his face rubbed in the snow and his nose bruised. Dur ing the excitement the captives made their escape One of them had been given mucilage shampoo, and the condition of his heal can be better imagined than described. Another, and this the most ridiculous of all, had been told to row the rowing consisted in sitting in basin of cold water and going through the motions, using tooth picks for oars. Another had been stripped and pnt on a trunk, to make a speech. and then, furnished with a guitar, made to sing, aud finally to drink to the health of his prosecutors. Then, after the fight was over. the freshmen gathered in body and defie,l their enemies, gave their class yell time after time, and went to their lodgings m Q body.
 It must not be imagined that snch occurrences as this are common. On the contrary this was the first thing oi the kind to amount to anything foi four years, and was only indulged in by half 8 dozen, out of four hundred, or one night of the year, and no real harm was done to anyone.
