It would be well, however, for anglers to bear in mind two or three clauses ot, the fisheries regulations regard ng epeckled trout, for the local impeder have received strict in- structions to have the law carried out, in every detail. (I.) It is illegal for any person to catch in any one day more than 50 trout, or more than 15 pounds of trout, though the number weighing 15 pounds may bp less than 50. (2.)

(4 ) No trout caught in provincial waters may be expoeed for sale or exported from the province be- fore July 1st, 1903. • ANOTHER OLD BOOK -Mr. Charles Dick- son, of Maintop, has left with us a book which is a real curiosity in its way, es- pecially', as to its contents. It was printed in Edieburgh in 1831. It is entitled " The Tyro's Guide to Wisdom and Wealth ; designe for the moral instruction of yoeth ; with ex roises in spelling, containing about five thousand words, having the parts of speech pointed out. To which are now subjoined the Pribciples of English Gram- mar, intended as an introdection to the author's collection." , It is quite a pre. tentious title page for a book of 239 pagee. The author is Alex. Barrie, author of ' the Englieh collection , of school books. The price is 2 shillings. It is plainly printed and is still in an excellent state of preser- vation. It was considered e very useful text book in its day and it contains Many quaint and amusing passages. Among the iatter we notice the following, entitled " A Dream" : " A respectable country gentle- man near Windsor dreamed a dream, which neither his wife nor any of his family then at home could explain, upon which he sent to London for his eldest son, and desired him to try his hand at unravelling his dream. " I dreamt," said the father, " that I mew three cats, ene enormously _fat, another remarkably lean and a third stone blind." " Why, sir," said the son, " your dream is out -the fat cat is your steward - the lean cat your estate ---and the blind cat yourself." • ODDFELLOwS- CELEBRATE. -The 82ad an- niversary of the inauguration of Oddfellow- s hip was celebrated by, the members of Fidelity Lodge, of this town, on Friday evening last, by holding -an entertainment in their hall. The hall was filled to over- flowing with the members and their friends, and a lengthy and varied programme of music and recitations was preeented to the delight and pleas,ure of all present. The different selections on the programme were splendidly rendered and the appreciation of the audience was shown in hearty applauee. During the 82 years of its existence the fraternity of Oddfellows has done a large and good work in relieving the euffering and afflicted, aiding the widow and eduoaeing the orphan, as la evidenced by the fact that in the past year alone, over $87,000 was ex- pended in Ontario for these worthy objects. Although dormant for some years, Fidelity Lodge is again having new life instilled into it and we expect that before long it will be one of the largest, numerically, and the strongeat fieancially, of theiraternal societ- ies in town. The very pleasant eveniog afforded on this occasion is an evidence of the new life and the committee who had the af- fair in hand are to be congratulated on the success which attended their efforts. The following persons took part in the pro- gramme Mrs. Greig, Mrs. W. D. McLean, Misses "P. Weir, N. Cardno, K. Scott, Norma Dickson, :Mr. and Mrs. L. Stark, the Imperial orchestra, and Messrs. Will McLeod, W. G. Willis, F. Willie, W. Peace, W. E. A. Best and M.

She WM the youngest daughter of Mrs. Gibson, of the 5th cenoession of McKillop, and although,' never of a very strong con- stitution, she had comparatively good health until a year ago, when she fell a victim to that dread disease consumption, to which she finally succumbed on the 24th of April. Stie was a bright, intelligent girl, and those friends who were privileged with her inti- mate acquaintance find consolation in re- calling how kind and gentle a spirit she possessed. She was for many years a mem; ber of the Presbyterian church,and although debarred from the more active duties of life, she has not lived in vain. Her kindness of heart, her agreeableness of manner, her genuine piety, led all around her, especially her mother, brothers and sisters, to contend for the honor of her society and the high rivileee of serving her. The sorrowing F. ' riends have the sincere sympathy of the entire community, especially her - aged mother, who is again left to mourn the de• parture of a loved one. Her death, like her life, was gentle, quiet, pure and painless. . • Bayfield.
