place at Arcadia, on which there is ;
little lake. Mr.. Hambrick the Othel
day took his rod and some minuows il
order to ascertain if the lake had AM
game fish ia its waters. The first cas-
convinced him that the fish were there
at least one of them. The bait wa:
nabbed in an instant. and it took thirty
minutes careful manipulating to cap

the happiest man in St. Louis. since
the discovery that his little patch OF
water fairly teens with great big gamy
bass. Mr.. Hambrick says there are
no small ones in the lake. aud it is
presumed that the big fish devoured
the young in their pursuit of food.
The pond will now be well supplied
with minnOws, and many of the big

it was a pleasure so to do. From such

it fails to put in its appearance prompt

A. Q. Cameron, of whose dealings in
this community as a lightning rod
man and insurance agent the REGISTER
has heretofore spoken, publishes a
letter in this issue of the REGISTER, in
defense of the accusations made against
him. We make the publication be-
cause we deem it but right and fair to
afford him an opportunity to defend
himself. From his letter we Judge
Mr.. Cameron is greatly incensed at
Mrs. kaesemacher and her son and
Mr.. Gross. and endeavOrs to vent his
spleen on them rather than refute
the charges that have been made
against him. Mr.. Gross, Mrs. Kaese-
macher and her son have long lived in
this community and are held in the
very highest esteem by all who know
them, as we'll for their strict homes
ty and integrity, as for other at
tributes of good citizenship, aud the
angry assaults of a stranger (accom-
panied by no proof will not injure
them IN the least. II Mr.. Cameron is
not guilty of the charge made against
him the proper thing for him to have
done, it seems to US, would have been
to place the facts, thoroughly substan-
dated, before the public and avoided
harsh expressions. However, if Mr..
Cameron is satisfied with his explana-
tion, we suppose we have no reason to
complain.
ST. Louis people are considerably ex-

Ter of the Boatmen's Bank, relative to
the transfer of Gen. Henry. When
asked what effect the change would
have on the rifle range located in the
Valley Mr.. Thomson said it would not
effect it at all and the boys would pro-
badly pitch their tents here in July.

the ground at Arcadia, but so far it has
been delayed, owing to the report that
got out to the effect that it was infested
with malaria fever, and that some of
the soldiers contracted it while camp

son said that he had spent his sum-
mer vacations there with his family
for the last II years or more, and he
thinks it is one of the healthiest spots
in the State. The sickness was con-
tracted by the soldiers during their
march from Arcadia to the Barracks,

has been appropriated for the rental

to purchase it holds good until next
