do Fishes RecOllcct?

Mr.. Seth Green, an authority upon
the rearing of fishes. kept In pond a
large number Of trout that had been
caught by means Of fly and barbless
hook. The men were ordered to take
them quietly and gently, SO thSt they
had plenty Of time to study the tackle
by which they had been captured. Mr..
Green believed the trout never forgot
this experience Of theirs. He used
sometimes to walk by the side Of the
pond feeding the fishes, but carrying
behind his back cane and a fishing.
rod. The trout would follow him for
bread, aud when no suddenly waved
his cane over them, though startled
at the time, they soon returned for
the food. Presently he would raise
his fishing-rod. but the moment the
trout saw It they darted to tho far
end of the pond. and remained In hid
ing for the rest of the day.

''The sight of him, the changes which
time had wrought in him, his tremu-
lous hands constantly in motion, and
all the circumstances of his condition
affected me deeply, and for time
choked my voice and made me speech

of our feelings, and conversed freely
about the past. Though broken by age

remarkably clear and strong. Afte,

seems to be over. An electric storm
passed over this section yesterday
evening, which appears to have had a
modifying effect Oh the atmosphere, as
it is now quiet again. The cold wealth
ed did some damage to gardens IN our

was up and looking most excellent,
has now taken on a beautiful golden
tint. Grass aud grain promises fair
crops, but the fruit is not going to he
near what we expected, especially the
cherries and apples.
