Next Week I’ll write you again. Scrap. The fish Fry. On last Saturday, high carnival was held at Adams's Landing, over about th :ee hundred fish netted on the day previous. The party was chaperoned by the estimable wife of Dr. Rogers, who looked after the “creature comforts.” Several “visiting members” were pres ent, i«otue from North Georgia, some from Florida, some from Long Pond, and one, nlas! from Liruuswick, who we fear bas come among us to win from ns one of onr brightest buds of promise. Rut to return to the picnic: The ground was too rough tor promeuading, the weather was too warm for dancing, the bont was too mnddy for rowiug, the lioys were too numerous for fair play, and the girls too scarce for an even di vide; but the fish were good, the butter - milk aud potatos appetising, the music enchanting, aud Alex's new buggy “got there.” Many thanks are due to the prime movers in this enjoyable affair.
