POISONING.--A telegram front Rome says that Penelope Idenghini, for , poisoning a former husband, an English engine/sr. named Jones. has been sentenced to 15 -re• imprisonment aud 19 weeks' solitary con--- ••resent husband, for murdering  year.' npment. Rev Talmot  ivad in  The Lake District correspondent writes to the Fishing Gazette ea follows Rivers are now very low, owing to the continuation of fine weather—a Last we have not previously had to record this season. As a consequent)°, there is not the amount of szieceasf al fishing usually enjoyed at this time of year; and we shall have to wait for the first floods ere there is much improveinent. Not, however, that sport is by any means at a standstill, for in boils North and South Westmorland some good baskets of trout and salmon meet have been I secured. There are now a considerable number of visitors in the Lake District, and two of these, gentlemen from Leedi, staying at the King's Head Hotel, Appleby, in two days landed no less than eighty trout within a stone's throw of their hotel; they used the maggot. Fly-fishing on this river (the Eden) has been poor. On the `. %ate" par. lion of the Kent, four or five miles south of Kendal, a considerable number of salmon meet are being ' taken, the more fortunate anglers being Messrs. H. Mann, R. Garnett. Stockdale, and Geo. Fisher. A little lower down the same river. in Levens Park (the private water of Captain Begot, M.G.. and Mr. Deakin), Mr. E. Stabler has Recounted for about a score of mort during the week.  The Rev. Egerton Young told a rare fishing tale in Queen-street Wesleyan Chapel, Scarbomugh, last Sunday. Describing his work among the Indian tribes of the North-West. Mr. Young related how that he and a couple of Indians were paddling a birch canoe down a river which merged in a great lake, which they had to cross to reach home. A storm was brewing, but they decided to forge ahead. The yells of five Indians, who Lame swooping down the hillside, however, brought the voyagers to a standstill. On inquiry, Mr. Young found that the Indians were without food, were hungry, and he decided to share his last meal of bear's-meat with them. The storm broke, and raged for a day or two, thus delaying the travellers. Despite the hunting efforts of the combined party, not a scrap of food was to be had. Tightening their belts was the substitute for a meal or two. At length one of the foraging Indians came across the cheek bone of a bear, out of which he carved a fish-hook. Re next made a line by tieing the fringe of his wild mocassins together, and, taking a piece of scarlet material from the same source, proceeded forthwith to make au artificial fly. Casting from the bank, it was not long before a fish four or five pounds in weight was hooked, landed, cooked, and eaten, to the joy and satisfaction of the whole party.  Arthur Packer, occupier of No. 9, Plum. street, Nottingham, was objected to by Mr. Lenuard, at the Notts Revision Court on the ground that he had not occuMed during the qualifying period. The objection was over-ruled. Claimant asked for his expensee.—The Barrister: Well, let an hear about it. What do you do?—Packer Well, I have just took a bit of worm.getting on for fishers, and ought to be out watering.—The Barrister : What did you expect to make this evening out of worms ?—Claimant : I might have gone and got a thousand at 2.5. a thousand.—The Barrister (to Mr. Lennard): Give him his thousand worms, then. (Laughter.)
