order Of the day in this neighbOrhoOd.
Fishing has been the amusement
INDUCED in by great many boys, as
well as men, during the week or two
just past, but Charles BrOwnback and
George Cox took the cake last Sunday
by capturing a seventy-pOund cat fish.
Charley is the captain who let the fish
amuse itself by chewing his handsome
wrist while he slipped a rope through
its gills, when, by Georges assistance,
it was conducted to the shore. There
have been several fish of forty pounds
and upwards caught in the Chikaskia
since the high water. Socks.
