A FISHING TRIP.

Two of our local fishermen, who went fishing, last Monday, and came home with fishermen luck, had an eX perience they will not soon forget or fishing, one of the party went to get the horse which they left eating be- side the road, and to his SurI rise the horse was gone, without saying any thing to his partner, he started after the horse and tracked it as far as Mon roe Center and then lost all traceOf it. Being so near home, he continued on foot to his home. His partner, not knowing what had become of him, took shelter in nearby barn for the night and found it so we'll occupied by bats that he went to another barn near by where he spent the night and in the morning made the trip home on foot to find his partner had reached home the night before. The horse came home the next morning and then was h1tched up and driven back after the wagon and harnesses and by Tuesday night everything was home once more. The parties are being congratulated on the successful fishing trip by their many friends.
