Agoiiics of an Angler.
BT JOHN QUILL,
Tliis thing of going a fishing and call
ing it sport it redioulooj. Old Isaao
Wttlton was a doccivor, and bis "Com*
plet? Angler" is calculated to pervert
public morals, and lead the unsuspecting
jaatray. In ay opinion it's an ovcr
Teted book, and ought to bo suppressed.
It encourages the idea that fishing ie a
genteel pastime, which affords time for
meditation, and cultivates a love for the
^beautiful in nature.
That is all nonsenio, overj man knows
"who over went & fishing in his life. I
Cleave St to the sufferers if it isn't.
Don't you know that you go out and
tnearly burst a blood vessel digging
vworms for bait, and thon you have to
*?ig ? bole as big as a rifle-pit before you
TMn lay your hands on a single solitary
worm t
Then when you get to the water, you
*v?ry likely sit dowu on some blackberry
*bush or other, and undergo nearly as
tmuch physical suffering as you do when
.you stick the fish-hook into your cutiolc
''when you are trying to put the bait on.
When you once thro*' in you begin
^to watch the corw, and you look at it
.hour after hour, until you nearly go
Tblind, and you think you see about twun
ty corks, and as it never budges one inch
-all the time, you conclude there ain'f |
rany fish about, until you pull up, when
?you find that some well-balanced and ;n
raidtoue member of the finny tribe has
tracked your bait off.
After enough patient endurance t6
ecps DoDbing Up
Utat eiio gives one jerk and goes under.
'Got him, fly jing! Pull up, and there's
i? wretched little fish on the hook, that
'wouldn't satisfy the appetite of a siok
^sardine, and he cost you ijust fourteen
?worms?enough to bait a school of |
(mackerel.
Throw in again, wait for an hour, and
,*you don't get a single nibble.
Then you tbiok yeu aro safe to let go
?and light your pipe. No soouer do you
:got match lit, and you can't throw it
down because it's the last one you've
.-got, than you get a splendid bite; the
oock goes clear 'Out of sight, and before
.you have a chance to pick up the rod
'the sah gets off.
Any man who says this t*n*t aggrava
ting ought to diej be isn't fit to associate
'with ordinary human beings.
But try to encourage yourself by say
ing that while there's life there's hope,
and that perseverance and patience over
come all things, and by getting off a lot
fttclatif old -second-class falsehoods, you
*hrow in again.
Wffk for several centuries, if you cal
culate according to your sufferings, and
?never get any bites but one on the cal.'
of jour leg from a sixty-legged spider,
' Who has been on an exploring expedition
Up your gHtttaloons.
Then you pull out and spit on the bait
/or luek; may be you blow on it, if you
vre ?upcrrftit?ofts^ and you throw in and
get a bite. You pull up several hundred
times and never catch him.
Then you get mad; you believe it is
? mm eel, and you swear to catch that eel
or die. Ton feel that life will be perfect
ly -Restitute of happiness unless you get
* chance to put your grip ou that cel.
?A'fc'last you hooked him and drew him
out. fie if active aud playful and viva
cious. He ip a wriggler, and combines
himself into letters 8 and C and X, and
runs through the alphabet generally, and
?Jap? you in the face, and gets around
JSJKT tage, and enters you all over with
Then he tangles your Hoe into <a hard
knot, a*d when you get your foot on him
fM fad he has swallowed the hook, and
Ja4|*t Hkely as not you've got to rip thst
open from head to tail to get it
when you do be vill wriggle
?3??$y ^rata ros and ?nsoy y^- as as
you stay there.
Eels never die ; immortality is their
strong point, and they lay themselves out
to make you abjeotly miserable.
When yon get all straightened ont and
throw in again you wait for an hour, but
you only get about one first-elans bite
during that time. Ton pull up and you
have on an enormous fish, and before you
get him near the shore he quickly lets
go his hold and drops back again into
his native element.
It is rough on you, I admit, but when
you go a fishing you've got to take it as
it comes without growling.
How interesting it is when you have
dropped the last ono off, and you get
auother bite, to make up your mind to
get this one anyhow, and then to concen
tr?te all your strength and pull up with
a violent jerk, and sling your line back
on to a tree, and have it wind arouud
the branches as tight aa if it had been
pulled by a steam engine, and in such a
bewilderiug condition that you can't get
it loose in a week.
This is calculated to make you use
hard expressions, but not any more so
than it is to have your cork drawn under
gently and steadily, aud go down, down,
down until it is out of sight.
"A catfish, most probably," you say;
"they always pull in this manner." You
draw your line in gently, and the catty
togs at the other end. "They always do
thin," you observe
Yon pull op slowly, so aa to keep him
on the book, and when you get your line
out you must probably find au old snag
with more branches Iba? the Pennsyl? I
vania railroad, and covered with mud,
and not a solitary fish in the neighbor
hood, while all the time **_re is a hoy
^only tries to insult you by asking you if |
rou "k etched any ?" but feels that he
ins you in his power, and makes you pay
>re money than you could buy out a
rho4e oyster-sloop for.
No^Sl don't see any sport in it, and if |
I wanted to make a man utterly wretch
ed j if I wflten^to hurt his feelings and
break down his spirits and ruin his nio
rahi, I would fit.t him to go a fishing
about once -a week. I approve of abol
ishing penitentiaries and jails, and mak
ing convicts fish for the benefit of the
State.
A Wild Man.
A correspondent of a Hornellsville pa
per tells the following veracious story :
"For the very strange story I am
about to relate I scarcely expect, nor do
I solicit belief. Indeed, were it not that
hundreds of reliable men and women in
tho county of Steuben are ready and
willing to vouch for its truthfulness, I
would never ask you to pnt it iu print.
The facts are as follows.
"During the four weeks last past a
wild man has been prowling around the
woods in the towns of Woodhull and
Troupsburgh, in the southern pirt of |
this county, coming frequently into the '
highways and oleared fields, to the in
tense terror of women and children, and
evon strong mea. So great is the excite
ment in some parts of the towns men
tioned, that schools havo been broken
up?parents not daring to send their
little ones along tho public highways to
the school-houses. At first the whole
thiug was considered by most people as
a hoax, inteoded merely to frighten old
women and children; but as many of the
most prominent citizens vouohed for the
actual existence of the wild man, and
the disturbance of the schools was mak
ing it a mailer of publie importance, the
people of Woodhull and Troupsburgh
determined to do all in their power to
ferret the matter out. Accordingly, on
tke 12th inst., about 200 men assembled
at the residence of Nr. S. 0. Brown,
and proceeded to search the woods in
that immediate . locality. ?mior the
leadership of Cap*. J. J. Bne1>%naa and
the writer of this artioie, erow?? search?d
the woods for hoars, bat with no success,
further than the finding of a oarop fire
and the track of a barefooted man im
printed in the soft soil of a marshy part
of the forest; and the whole party, at
about 3 o'clock P. M., returned to Mr.
Brown's house, and getting ready their
teams, started back to Woodhull village.
The party - had proceeded scaiccly fifty
rods from Mr. Brown's when on the
outskirts of the wood, and within twenty
rods of searchers, appeared tho veritable
wild man of the woods ! Myself, Capt.
Buchanan, and others immediately
started in full pursuit. We approaohed
within six or eight rods of this strange
being without attracting his notice, when
suddenly, with a wild, unearthly shriek,
he notified us that we were porceived.
I drew my rifle, intending to halt him
or send a bullet crashing through his
skull. I ordered hin to halt, when he
sprang with tho agility of a deer toward
the woods. I did not fire because on
second thought I doubted my right to
take the life of any human being, how
ever wild, until ho had at least violated
some law.
"So far I have related facts, which
will be vouched for by at least 100 pcr
sous. I wil 1 now give you a pcrfeot
description of this wild man?or animal
?or "What is it"?as she. or it appeared
to me. He was barefooted, bareheaded,
and wore no clothing except an old pair
of soldier's punts; his hair, which was
black, spriukled with gray, was from
two to three feet long, frizzly and matted,
hanging over his ucck, face, shoulders,
and back, reachiug half way to the
ground ; his beard reached to the waist
band of his pants, and was jet black;
this together with a springing, jerking
hitch in his gait, gave him moro the
appearance of a wild animal than n hu
man being; and though I am not of a
nervous temperament, may all the saintn
in heaven shield and defend me from
ever meeting w*\b u fiu??li?!> l<u?M?i? j
being lace to face again I The long,
matter hair; the thick, black, uncombed
beard; tho wild, glaring, bloid-yhoi eye
balls, which seemed bursting from their
sockets; the savage, haggard, unearthly
countenance; tho wild, beastly appear
ance of this thing whether man or ani
mal, has haunted mo continually by day
and night; and I do not wonder that
when this strange being rapped on the
school house windows, children wore
frightened half out of their senses, aud
refused to be pucified; for, although I
have seen tho chiefs of filly different
tribes of ltocky Mountain Indians,
painted for the war path, and have
looked with wonder on the Btuffcd gorilla,
Barnum's "What is it,' the man monkey,
&c, I never beheld anything in the hu
man form half n? hideous as tho wild
man of Woodhull woods.
"I will close by saying that twenty
five years ago a man named William
Little suddenly disappeared from Wood
hull, and has nover been hoard of since;
and as the farm on which the wild muu
spends most of his time was formorly
owned by tho absontee, it is supposed by
some that the wild man is none other
than William Little himself, returned in
this disguise to the home of his youth.
But I hardly think this theory the true
one. I do believe, however, that a
woman and a baby are somewhat mixed
up in the matter."
A Fast Prince.
The London correspondent of tho Cin
cinnati Gazette writ cm;
The public talk is Ireland, but tho
private themo is the Prince of Wales.
When the dinner is over, tho ladies havo
retired, and the gentlemen have resumed
their placos aud their wine, his Royal
Highness is sure to bo very soon and
vory thoroughly discussed. Tho old ru
mors beariug upon his manner of life
are rehearsed, and new ones are added.
And, as persons arc frequently present
on such ocoasions who speak that which
they know, and testify to that which
thoy have seen, the conversation is not
uufrequently oi a very piquant descrip
tion. One "has it from tho very best
authority" that the heir apparent called
upon a certain very beautiful and bril
liant American singer ; but she, having
recovered from the startlement occasion
ed by the presence of suoh a visitor,
maintained her composure and self
respect, emphasised, perhaps, by a color
ing of indignation. The company agree
that a visit by suoh a visitor to such a
person eould have oo grounds for ex
ouee, and could have but one expiana
tiou. Another aeys tho Governor of
-told bim he feit'?great load of re
sponsibility taken 08 when the Prince
had taken hie departure; for while he
was under bis oars he didu't know what
scrape his Royal Highness might indulge
in; and a third informs us that another
earl's daughter baa gono to Paris to
cover her shame ana} the Princes, crime,
and a fourth relates iukl the other day
one of his maid servants said to his wife:
"Missis, is there asJHhing the matter
with tho Prince of Wake?"
"Why do you ask, Biddy?"
"O, because, ma'aUf, I 'card one man
say in the hoinnibus to another that he'd
better mind or he'd get shot yet."
"So you see," added the gentleman,
"these stories must be circulating among
the lower classes if they are discussed in
the (busses." The stmc speaker con
tinues; "I recollect seeing the Prince
of Wales and the Duko of Edinburgh
stop up to a group of ladies in the Bo
tanic Gardens, and et tor into conversa
tion with them without removing their
cigars from their mouths. Indeed, they
smoked right in the ladies' faces. Now,
either the latter were not "ladies/ or the
former were not gentlemen."
"Well," says a tided gentleman of
high station and character, "one thing
is certain, England will not tolerate
another George IV. A licentious court
in this country would produce a revolu
tion. We have seen an end of the
Georges as far as their vices arc concer
ned."
"But the King's licentious courses
would be more covered now than in the
time of George IV, and so, however the
people might suspect, they oould not feel
sure."
"Don't you believe it. With our
freedom of speech, liberty of the preys,
a'*d popular jealousy of the privileged
crises, there would / be no keeping the
court veiled from people. They
.......j.i ? ii.?fhruiiL'h it
Without much provocation.
Such is the outline (I dare not print
any more than tho outline) of a conversa
tion wbieh is a con versa t ion highly
speciamcntary of what is talked all ovur
England, in dining hall and .servants,
ball, in omnibus and club room by your
West Eud host as he touches glasses
with you, and by yonr East End shop
keeper as he tells his tale of woe in
flected by a wandering couut and prod
igal prince, by your barber as he cuts
your hair, and your Iurkish but hist as he
rolls you over on the marble slab.

TEnRini.r. Traukpy in London?A
Whole Family Poisoned.?A terrible
domestic tragedy bus just transpired
within the limits of the city of London.
By the first post yesterday morning a
letter reached the hands of the police at
the Suiithfield Station, informing them
that their services would be required at
ten o'clock that morning, at a certain
house in Hosier lane. Two police officers
at once weut to the spot, nnd, having
forced an entrance into tho dwelling,
found tho whole of the inmates dead,
consisting of a wan, his wife and six
children. All were in bed, the man by
himself in a hack room, and the woman
and the children in the front room on
the same floor. A medical man was
called in and it ?oon became ovident
that death in every instance had resulted
from the uso of prussic acid. In each
case death must have been almost instan
taneous, and there is reason to suppose
that the mother and children perished
I some hours before the maq, There is
no doubt that the man himself wrote the
letter to the police, and that he was tho
prime agent in the dreadful tragedy,
though it is suggested that the wife
may have participated iu the crime,
either actively or by consent. The
name of tho family is Duggin, and the
man had boon for some time in the em
ploy of a manufacturing firm iu the samo
street. Duggin is said to have been
about thirty, and his family ranged from
babyhood up to twelve or thirteen years
of age. It was asserted that ho was seen
walking out with his children late on
Sunday evening, and that a light was
noticed in one of the windows of the
house at feur o'clock yesterday morning.
The letter written to the police spoke
of another one sent to Duggin 's brother
in Bristol, which it Was said would give
full particulars of the affair. It is thus
possible that so much of myste. y as sur
rounds the dreadful transaction nay be
dissipated.?rZ.-OTus&'n IStr?ttl ?7uitc 2V.
- A Lauv Gcr.su bt a Pe*r?The
Savannah News of Monday says t "At
an early hour yesterday morning, as a
lady, residing in the Southern part of
tho oity, was returning fron early tnass
st St. John's (Catholic) Church, through
Liberty-street, she wss attacked by a
deer kept by a gentleman in that vicini
ty, and which had, iu some Way, got into
the street. The lady was knocked down,
her clothes badly torn, and her face and
bead quite severely scratched and bruis
ed, a ring being torn from one of her
ears. Deer, while young, are gentle and
harmless, but, as they grow strong/they
become vindictive and dangerous, and
frequently do much mischief. Those
who seep such dangerous pets should
see that they are properly secured within
their enclosures."
