THE LOST FOUND.—About six
years ago 'a well known sportsman
of.tbis town, a gentleman particular-
ly addicted to piscatorial ,exorcise,
camped with some )rionds. on the.
blinks of._the • Maitland, not meny
miles. from Holmesville. Having
road izaak Walton, and'yet more re-
centauthorities,, on the proprieties
of angling and the observance of
•humane treatment toward the scaly.
occupants of the streams, he eschow-
ed the use of the hook. •as much as
possible. in his ' endeavors to Catch.
the 'speckled beauties: • For this
,purpose he usually took a supply of
liquid bait with biro, In the afore-
said . year of grace, .1880 he,thad to
leave his companions .and .return to
town to•atteiid tq pressing btiainess
engagements. - As thcy'were not ex -
. ports. in' the .'use of liquid bait. he
•deposited:.:'ahat he had,'• it being
securely corked tna vitreous . recep-
taele,:of the shape of a pocket -flask
in• the hollow' a decayed .atariding
tree' until he would'roturn:. Ile did
not return until .a few days But
the decayods'teee wes'not tobe seen..
HIe felt sure -of the locality where it
had -beep, and aftosa close'inspection
found that the tree had fallen dowdn
.and almost crumbled to earth again.
IIo Set to work to unearth his trea-
:enre-if•thsre. -He didnot long have.
to delve into• tha'renhains of the
tree. before he - found the flask,
with the Contents ulhtOliChed, It
had remained` in the tine while

'ry now that thu lost was found:. He.
was told in connection With that

boring farmer, taut for some years`
prior to, its full bees' would annuailly
wane there and he now thinks that
the solection'of :this spot must have
