 MORE EXERCISE THAN FISH
 M. ". Hall and 0. A. Collier, two wealthy Waterbury business men came to town Saturday to angle for trout and went home with three pounds of the speckled beauties in their baskets. If money was any consideration with these men, three pounds of fish would hardly be considered a large return for the du- cats laid but i'll car fare, hotel bills etc. But they claim exercise was what they were after principally. Some folks get this by yanking the notched steel athwart the bosom of the cordwood stick out in the back yard but the business man don't always believe this will answer in his case.
 A WASTE OF MATERIAL
 According to all reports there was an unnecessary waste of first class lumber in the raging of the buildings at Ames- vile. Thousands of feet of valuable timber, which might easily have been preserved and made available for future use, were shattered by being permitted to fall to the ground with crash when a little care might have saved 1t. At tms particular time, when lumber is lumber, this lack of care is somewhat in comprehensible.
 Messrs Clarence and Arthur Turner are soon to go to Huntsville and erect for M. c. Dean & Sons the barn which they purchased at Amesville not long since, tore down and moved to Hunts vile.
 TROUT THAT STRETCH
