A curious instance of the value OF
advertising Is reported from New Y ,rk.
There is physician there who adver-
tises largely, publishing his portrait
in the ewspaper; with his advertise
msnf. A few days ago he received a
letter from the West, on the envelope
OF wlich there was not word of ad-
dress nothing but the portrait of the
man which had been clipped from a
paper and pasted on the envelope.
Every clerk and postman. who ham
died the letter knew the face, and it
was forwarded without moment s
delay. People read advertisements,
evidently, and remember what they see
there. There is no such road to nc :

stream of fish going up into the bay on
the SwantOn side TO spawn. The are
mostly pike perch, that are worth in
New York $14 to S25 barrel. Strange
as it may seem, the seines are hauled
when the ice in the lake is three feet
thick.
This is done by novel arrangement
of capstans and ropes that requires three
or four men to handle. We Oily issued
the licenses for 80 days; at the expira-
ton of that time every man will have to
+ D Irt the amount of his catch. We are
not in favor of granting these licenses,
but as the privilege to fish at this season
is worth about $500 month it did not
seem 4 light to deprive our citizens of it.
/ have been assured by the Canadian
minister of marine and fisheries that at :
ter this year the Canadian government
will issue no licenses to fish in the bay
so we will not be obliged to do it.
The law allowing the commissioners
to issue licenses was passed by the last
Legislature as retaliatory measure and
it scenes that it has already accom-
plished the purpose for which it was
designed
The commissioner also says: "At the
worlds fair we shall make a good exhibit
of Vermont food fishes. About 80 of the
best specimens of the bike perch, north
ern pike, pickerel and black bass caught
by the seiners in Missisquoi bay will be
kept alive in crates until the Car of the
United States commission comes around,
when they will be placed in tanks and
taken to Chicago. There will also be an
exhibit of brook trout.
