As the season for salt water fishing prom
ises to be one exceptionally advanced, fish
ermen may look tor the early appearance of
weakfsh. 1t will not be a matter OF sur
prise if in May some fine catches are re-
corded. Reports have been received from
Chincoteague OF the appearance of the
fish at this early date in the bays of the
eastern shore of Virginia. From TOWN.
sends Inlet, New Jersey, information is
given that. in addition to the founders, rock

Trout Streams in Lycomiug.

Williamsport makes a good starting place
for the trout streams of Lycoming county.
1t is there where Lycoming creek enters the
susquehanna, and along the tortuous course
OF this creek winds the Northern Central
Railroad. Entering this creek are dozen
excellent trout streams, and nearly every
station you may feel disposed to get off at is
right at or near the mouth of one of these
streams. Cogan Valley is the first station
the other side of Wllliamsport, and then
come Trout Run, RalSton and Roaring
Branch, all of which stations offer great in
ducements to the trout angler to tarry
Among the streams which will give good
days sport are Pleasant Stream, Trout Run,
Roaring Brook and Rock Run.

Best Bait for Bass,

Probably the best bait for black bass is
the dobson, the Larvae of dragon dy. Mr..
A. c. Collins, whose experience is very ex-
tended, finds the best way to secure this bait
is to take an iron barrel hoop, to which a
net Of mosquito netting is attached. He
selects some place in a brook where the
shores are frInged with alders, and, wadlng
in, with the aid of a hoe scoops up peck of
the leaves and mud from the bottom. He
takes this ashore, dumps the accumula-
tion, and scatters it about. The bugs
will Immediately begin to crawl out, when
they are placed in jar or box, in which
are some OF the decayed leaves from the
stream. Thus provided they will live sew
eral days without water Mr.. Collins con-
siders the dobson a most taking lure for
black bass, it being within his experience
while fishing with an expert fisherman who
was using minnows and be the bug to kill
three fish to the others one.

CISCO, Oct. ia rain and wind
storm last evening interrupted the exer-
cises at the Burnett aud Mulkey taber-
nacle. but the clouds have cleared away,
the tent is readjusted and the meetings
going on. The preaching is more on the
lecture style than the regulation pulpit
oratory and exhortstion. Metaphy steal
theology is ignored, and practical
Christianity is the burden of the dis
courses. Business honesty, religious
sincerity, political int, gritty aud social
purity make up the platform of Messrs.
Burnett and Mulkey, and they hew to
the line. Very few of their patrons fail
to catch a chip or so.
