Some will be placed in jars, same as

same as trout are Matched, and Others
will be left on the gravel in the tanks
to hatch naturally. 1t is the inten-
ton to collect about 400 black bass

The trial of the Rev. VIM. Fitchet,

lock and the edifice was continued to
be used by the defendant. He is 20
years of age and is married. The
