A FISH STURY. The following ave clipped from the Hillsboro Observer and we think a remarkable occorrence. Mr. Darell Riley, a farmer living near Hillsboro, while he and his son were working in a field along side the old Lyon mill pond some time ago, his altention was at- racted to a large hawk sailing around closelo the ground and pond. The hawk at last made a dagt down, and when he arose he went up very sicwly with some- thing in his claws, cud Mr. Ritey supposed it to be aw rabbit it had caught. It wasevilent that the weight of what it had was about as much as it could well manage, not at a great height, Mr. Riley and his sov shouted at it and made a great fusx, and the hawk dropped what it had, and young Riley went to see what it was, when lo and bshold he found it 10 be achub,weighing about three pounds. They carried it howe and it made them a good supper. M:. Riley is known to be a truth- fal man. What will Dr. Blacknell the proprieton of the hotel say to this? [ would Jike to hear from him. Is there another county in the State that has hawks that will catch-fish for the farmer while he is in his field at work ? Oh, yes, Jones counry has hawks of such bature, and farther more they not only cateh fish,but they some time catch chickens for the farmer while he is iu his field at work. Resding the above fish story reminds us of one related in oar hearing recently, and we think it wi!l cap anythilg in the line of a truthfa} fish story that may come oit tis season, and shows that oar fish are up to date, by taking a liking to “tangle foot” as the majority of the coming generation d»>. Itran as follows ; A gentleman who had yistted town on one occasion, purchased a jug and had 1t filled with whis- key. Onhis return home in the evening he had to cross over & creek on abridge, and while on simple the conten's of the jug aid see if it came up to standard: aid while he was sampling it he lot it fallin the water and there it stayed for some time. Some time afterwards a gentleman went fishing, and on crossing this same bricge decided to try his luck. and pretty soon something nab- behold he han caughta jug. On examing into the matter he found zaside the juga cat fish he sup- small, and the fish must pit and stayed iu ther ‘it bad grown so that it get out, and that when ed his hook in the water yn in the mouth of the Wy There is ‘more of trath than Isn’t m the Wood, xf aaa poetry in the following from the Gormantown (Pa.)

Yea, verily, the man who can run & Dews- ;aper without being criticised, censured and threatened has never beenfound. Heisa barren idealty, beautiful to think about, but incapable of taking on mor- tality, and associating with vulgar humanity. Itis impossible for a newspaper man to please every- |body as it 1s for everybody to please him, and the sooner he makes uphis mind to this stub- porn fact the vetter for everybody concerned. If he works for the public good, he receives private censure, 1f he compliments merit, he is censured by jsalous demer- its; if he approves morality, he is cursed by i:amortality ; if he tries to be fair, he 18 condemnel by the unfair, if he makes a mistake few are found to overlook it, or apologize for him. No matter how innocert nis purpose, how studied his writings, he is picked to pieces, misrepresonted, ma- ligned, ridiculed, and seldom ever defended. He works hard for bread and butter, while other men wax rich around him. He writes to the queen’s taste for nothing, and is threatened with a libel suit or a duel if he records a drunken spree of the bridegroom = six months afterwards. Yes, it is impossible for a newspaper man to please everybody. As well at tempt to chain a cyclone or ‘lasso the furious ligh{ ning. In short it isn’t in the wood. - ace ncomne A Church Story. Not very many years ago, in a country church in the west of Eagland, the rector, preachipg with great earnestness for home missions, took for his text, “Teed me with food convenient for me.” As he came down from the pulpit, well content with the effect his eloquence had produced on the congregation, tne disturbing thought strack him that he had made no arrangement for the col- lection (sure to be a liberal one on this occasion). As be passed through the chancel he whispered hurriedly to an inteiligeut choir bov, ‘Go into the vestry, take the plate you wil find on the ta- ble, hand it round to the con- gregation, and then bring it to me.’ The boy departed on his errand, and the rector took his place withtn the communion rail® and gave out the offertory hymn. The last words of this had scarcely died away when the boy stood before him a plate of bis- caitsin his hand, and an apol- Ogetic expression on his chubby face “Please, sir,” he explained in ano audible voice, “I’ve handed them all round to everybuay. and nobody wor’t take one !’—Lon- don Gentlewoman. s_EE RE NREEEE NEE a Peculiar Case. ecco , A peculiar case has come to light 10 Augusta, Ga. In the bg freshet ot 1888, in Augusta, Mrs. Lucy Gaines and her daughter were rescued trom their little home, on Upper Broad street, by Fireman Battle. As the boat turned the cerner of Broad and eh streets it was upset. ‘The ‘two women were rescued, but a valise Mrs, Gaines, carried was. lost. She never heard of it again, It contained nearly nine hundred dollars, half of it in gold and silver. It was found by a negro, Neltoa.Curtis. He lett it at the nd the fish on the inside wallowedit restaurant of Mary Barney, a° negro a wo. up a yard long marriage noice |: cut opening it. Mary Barney had more curiosity. She found the money and appropriated is. Curtis came back for the valise, and she gave him the clothes ana never mentioned the mon- ey. She improved her house she was living in and bought other property with Ler ill-gotten treasure. Recently ‘she and her husband fell out, and she tried to keep all the property and div miss him empty-hauded. In revenge he told tse story of her taking the money from the valise, and legal pro- ceedings haye just been instituted for possession of the prop3.ty she bought with the money. | a HE WORRIED ABOUT iT.
