Our Correspondent Accuses the Game
Club of NegIigence-OtherI Items.
Once more we want to protest against
the mean and unlawful advantage taken
of the fnny tribe, by fishing with nets
in the Honeyhole and Nescopeck creek.
Net-fshing is carried on in these waters
as if there never was law prohibiting
it. Nobody seems to care, all seem
eager to have hand in it. The men,
bers of the game club are not very anx-
ious to have it stopped, as it is said some
of them are in the business themselves
and can use nets to better advantage
than those who are not members. We
always placed great confidence in the
members of the club until lately, when
1t became apparent that it was nothing
more or less than mere imitation, got
ten up for the purpose of lite cheap
notoriety and if they can do no better
than they have been doing they had
better disband, as their Indifference is
disgrace to the sporting fraternity.
There is another gentleman here who
holds the title of fish warden. He
takes no int ,rest in it whatever and if
he intends to continue in the future as
in the past his plain duty is to resign, as
his pretended ignorance of what is going
on under his jurisdiction fails descrip-
ton. At present about sixty nets are in
use in these waters and large quantities
of game fish are being caught every day.
Perhaps in week or so | will send you
list of the names of those who use
them.
The Young Peoples Christian Endea-
vor society held an anniversary in the
Presbyterian Church on Thursday even
ing. A large number of the White
Haven branch of this society arrived by
special train at O'Clock and took part.
1t is pleasant to see the young people
take such interest in their future welfare
and we hope they will continue to the
end.
Miss Myers, music teacher of Halle
ton, has been spending few days at the
hotel here.
Samuel Price, of Mauch Chunk, is

A large number of people went from
here to attedd the circus Wednesday

itself upon some of their minds for when
they arrived here they had another cir
Gus of their own.

on Thursday in No. slope by prop
rolling on it,
Miss Lizzie Wagner and sister, for
merly of this place but now of Bethle-

Tomorrow evening the debating club
will meet again, and we will try and

account of it.
All of our young people attended the
last picnic at Freeland, and since then
the scribe is satisfied that some of the
boys were in grand march which last
ed over an hour and an orchestra was
not necessary to furnish the music.
The work of tearing out the machinery
of No. breaker continues and when
the frost comes again we expect to see
