and says that one A. Lincoln Cell,
up at Hazelton, has taken up an
estray angleworm, one of those
necessities of our boyhood. ere we
left the effete civilization of the
east. We have waited patiently to
hear of some one discovering that
worm which we lost dozen years
ago, down at West Linton. He was
received with consignment of
roots from Minnesota nursery,
having beaten the express company
out of ride of several hundred
miles. and for a long time we ex-
pected the express company to come
after US for his fare. He was alive
and kicking when he arrived. We
built a stockade with pieces of tin
for him in the edge of a flower-bed !,
and he was there several weeks,
when suddenly he disappeared and
we had never heard from him since
till we read that lookup" notice
in the Hazelton paper. We hereby
inform the Hazelton gentleman who
claims said "fishin' wum" by right
of discovery that we are prepared to
replevin our property if necessary,
and we notify the public that we
claim said bait and all its increase.
