BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. Week
before last in naming the counsel
[employed in the case of the Lewis
town National Bank, vs.. Jacob Mil
~, we failed to give the very i'm.
portant name of A. ". Potter, Esq,
!. q Selin S-aye who though only
employed as assistant counsel for
the plaintiff, distinguished himself
by taking the bull by the horns,
leading for the prosecution and by
his efforts virtually winning the case.

correct last week, but forgot it, and
it now affords us pleasure TO make
the dmeRde hOnOrabie.

York, has invented n most ingenious
trolling apparatus for catching bass,
pike, salmon and other game fish.
1t consists of small glass magni-
flying tube in which u live minnow is
placed and may be kept alive for a
whole day. On the outside of the
tube are three gangs Of hooks three
hooks to the gang, with a revolving
swivel to keep the minnow moving.
1t has been patented and promises
to be Il most catching bait. Progress

The Chicago Times gives away a
big scheme that is being worked by
Chicago parties who are sending out
advertising their hotels
for the Worlds fair visitors. The
Times says many of these hotels
have not as yet been built nor will
they be that irresponsible hotel
schemes are doing it, and their IN
tention is to collect a big pile of
in advance and put it in their
pockets. When people arrive in
Chicago next summer who have en-
gagged room the schemers will meet
them at the trains and take them to
rented rooms scattered about the
city, claiming that their hotels are
crowded and that no accom-
odation can be given them.
