narden we ever saw. In it are pole
beans, snap beans, two paintings
of peas, roasting ears, cabbage,
lettuce, onions, potatoes, canta.
loupes, squashes, cucumbers, to-
matoes, radishes, and celery. We
have been told Con the sly) that the
fine appearance of this garden is to
be credited to Mrs. Siglon and chill
dren to great extent.
Esq. Covey, while perch fishing
the other day had an exciting time
for few minutes. When in the
act Of taking fish off his hook he
caught sight of the head of very
large moccas1n which was appar-
emily taking much interest in the
fishing. AS the Squire turned to
bitch in box in his boat he saw
lis snakeship deliberately crawl IN
to the boat over the stern and make
for the fish. He struck at the
snake with the butt end of his rod,
whereupon the snake left the hsh
and attacked the Squire, striking
ylciously several times at his elbow.
Now. the Squire is not usually
afraid of snakes, but this one being
about II feet long and yard
around (more or less, as they say
in land sales) he concluded that
discretion was the better part CT
yalor, and made for shore, where
he thought he would be at least on
an equal footing with his snake
ship. In the meantime the snake
|. crawled under a fishbox i'll the boat
and finally got away. The report
that the Squire jumped out OF his
boat when near shore and ran for
tall timber is probably incorrect.
Some of the dudes of the city, we
understand, have made complaint
that this correspondent has exag-
gerated the trout and perch fishing
here. I have this explanation to
make: They use the wrong kind
of bait. Trout fishers shake bob,
and perch fishers use either worms
or craws. Liquid bait, brought
down in a jug or bottle, may do
cry we'll for "suckers," but 1t is no
bod for trout or perch.
We would like to know what the
gent rom your town wanted with
that can of worms he took from a
boat at the dock last Sunday.
Surely no good; moral, Union City
man would have gone fishing that
day.

School opened here on the hill
Monday, the 9th ult., under Prof.
J. M. Hale.
A few days ago, guided and
chaperoned by that clever gentle
men, J. A; Milliken, I climbed and
climbed and climbed to the top of
the mountain just in front of the
hotel. The view of the Lake from
the top was glorious and we'll worth
the climb. AS you have no room
for rhapsodies won't. An Indian
graveyard is at the top and bones
are much in evidence. / came down
different way, that is, at differ
ent point, and in different way
also in other respects. 1t isn't
hard on ones shoes coming down.
but awful on the seat of ones pants.
You Just let loose of things at the
top and slide down.
Mr.. Milliken's 'bachelor hall is
the first and prettiest sight you see
after getting down the bluff and
crossing the high picturesque
bridge. 1t ought to be called the
.White House" it looks so white,
&C and inviting. 1t is in per-
fe sower of whitewashed, neatly
trim. ed trees, and is surrounded
