A Nimrod,s Experience.

When in the course of natural laws,
"spring time comes, gentle Annie"
aud the genial rays of the sun togeth-
or with the April showers awaken
the sweet May flowers; when the
foreat trees robe themselves with liv-
ing green; when the wild bird sings
to charm his mate and the snake and
the lizard rustic through the dry
leaves at your feet to scare you to
death, then one feels the fishing fe-
YER creeping over him and he is bound
to 90 or be forced to suffer untold
misery. 1t Was these and kindred
forces that caused the writer one day
last week to accept an invitation from
p. p. Huffman to come out to his
mills and go fishing. We found
some lumber and tools at his mills,
and with the assistance OF Gum Huff
man, the king fisher Of South Chris
ihhy Wo uuiit uoht hbu iiAe ihoDih-
son Crusoe we set IL a1oat. Gum
and got in 1t and padded up the
pond something near half mile TO
his favorite fishing waters, where l
succeeded in landing the largest sill
yer perch that had been taken out Of
the pond this season. After captur-
ing few Of the smaller fry and los
ing several of the largest that bit, we
returned TO the mills well satisfied
that our boat was entirely adequate
to carry at least ten persons with
perfect safety. Al night we set out
three lines from the rear end of our
boat, bsted with minnows TO tempt
the palate of such mill pond cat MS
might pas, that way. Next morning
we could see that something was
hooked. A hasty investigation re-
vealed the fact that each OF the three
lines was oruamented with a good
sized cat fish. They had evidently
hung themselves early In the night,
for they must have been members Of

At the special meeting OF the Levy
Court Yesterday, Duval Gibbs. tax collec.
tor for Appoquinimink hundred, was re
moved from his position and McComb
Clayton of Middletown appointed in his
place.
The court met on short notice and
spent large part Of the morning in
secret caucus
Gibbs has been found short in his ac-
counts to the Levy Court, not having
turned over a cent Of the taxes for
1888. He was appointed collector for APP
poquinimink hundred in 1887. Vincent o.
Hill Of Blackbird and j. j. Lockwood, be-
coming his bondsmen. The taxes for
1887 were promptly paid over. The mem
bers of the court frequently spoke to
him regarding the taxes for 1888, sug-
gesting that they be settled, but he put
them off on various pretexts, and nc
crookedness was suspected.
Vincent o. Hill, one Of his bondsmen,
became suspicious and investigated the
matter and the special meeting OF the
court was called on the result of his in
vestigations. IL was found that Gibbs
had collected about s., 600 from the tax
payers of the hundred for taxes of 1888,
none of which has been paid over to the
court. His bond is 800, 900, and his
bondsmen will have TO make the deficit
good
Gibbs was appointed collector for this
year, on the recommendation OF Joseph
Roberts member OF the court from Appo
quinimink hundred Had not Mr.. Hill
not become suspicious he would probably
have appropriated a large portion OF
this years taxes. Gibbs is reported To
have been living very fast lately. He is
about 30 years Of age.

tor at the afternoon session Of the court,
after which they adjourned.
