Joltings from the Fishing Party.
Mr. Editor: —lt being your business to
keep the masses posted in regard to erery
thing that is new, rich and racy, we hare con
cluded to transmit to you a few notes on the
Fishing Party, alias Courting Frolic, which
iinet at Anderson's Mill, on Monday last.—
Now, Mr. Editor, we are not going to con
demn fishing frolics—not at all—we only wish
to let the public know what is done at such
parties, that we may hare a larger crowd in
attendance in the future. Now, for making
the object of these assemblies bare, fishing is
the main intention, but the kind of hooks and
bait used are kept in the dark, until arririug
at the proposed place for angling. I’ll now
enter into minuteness, for the benefit of the
many bashful youug men of this neighbor
hood, that they may not be “ taken in “ on
going to one of the above named parties.
On arriving at the appointed place, the boy*
step up to the girls with a bland smile (drums.-
pn grin) and politely—if you call bowing to
the ground anything—ask them to have a
book, and while passing a few words, the
hooks are sure to get tangled in the tresses of
the girls, and then tli >rMre a few si “glances
and a giggle. The next thing is, “will you fish
me, Miss Annie ?’’—“ will you with me,
Miss Fannie ?” and so on, till the whole list of
fes, as Rosies, Emmies, Mollies Nannies, Ba
bies, Mnriannies, is exhausted. Now there is
a rush for the water, but ere ‘tis reached, Some
romantic spot is spied, where some miniature
Niagara, hushes the sounds of love from the
listening car, aud down the crowd sits in
groups of two. •• Oh, isn't that little rushing
of the waters romantic, Miss Sallie.” “‘Love
ly, more than grand; such a fit place to talk of
love.” “Why, Cousin, aint you ashamed of
•your pretty self, I never thought y ou would be
guilty cf making love to me, I am so surpris
ed ! Ch, just look at Kate and Dr.” “Now,
Miss Sallie, ytiu are straying from the all.
important subject. •’ What did you say,
Cousiu ? ’ “Ahem, I say I said I had a
question to ask you.” “ Oh, let us go dp yon
der where the crowd is playing whist."’ “You
girls are riddles, certain, 1 don't know how to
interpret your conduct.” There is an “awful
pause,” ar.d Cousiu S. “is out ” for the re
mainder of the day, and by this time all
the Com ins and “ies” are in the same cata
logue.
“The “goodies ” arc now spread—iho eat
ing takes place, and the dull crowd sits down
to talk of fatnilliars. The evening wears
heavily away—crowd disperres and the fish
ing ends.
Mr. E liter, if you have “ot been entertain
cd, 1 hope you have been instructed, so when
you go to a fishing, you will know C.X4V_t.J uu.v i
Vi begin and how to end. The above, is a de
scription of what a Fishing Parly “ used to
was,” and not totally unlike this, was our
.party. qh_F. istar lUovevcg, thus tr-ln
“cidu on material facts, for on Monday wc dis
pensed with hooks a id employed words tu fish
for every hod} s’ business, and the first place
that was convent lit to talk -ccretiy was se
cured auJihe courting commenced ciciciuasiy.
I understand there was no kicking, and that
several weddings will ensue. So you sec, after
-all. fishing parties arc a benefit, and let yon

Mr. Editor. Having .-ecii sonin jottings
from the Fishing Party of last Monday, ii
n anuscript for:n, directed to you for pubiica
tion and signed by one Amy, and as the re
■marks made by this lady, if not derogating
Ashing parties altogether, are broad msinua
'tious that each assemblies ard not nine!:
••ptlnipki. s,” and well calculated to (Inter the
‘•old folks’* fmm letting their so sand daugh
ters go to such places; I have concluded to
nay a few words by way of defense, being one
who thinks these meetings the most pleasant
and instructive of any tiling of the kind that
can be gotten up, especially for voung pc. , ’
But only a penny for my opion, and I'll come
in with my vindication after awhile. But be
fore Igo farther, I would like to know some
thing about this Amy, and answer some of her
objections, or, as some would call them, incon
sistencies. Who is Amy ? I amy pretty fcei
tain she wa3 at the fishing, which called fovih
her muse ; and furthermore, 1 guess, *twas the
first party of the kiud she ever attended, and
I am convinced she did not receive much at
tention from the masculines. Now, tc prove
that this Amiable was never at a fishing be
fore, we have only to look to the tone of her
remarks. Her whole discourse is directed as
advice to the Editor, to steer him clear of
” scrapes ” just like she experienced. Won
*der if she knew the Editor was a married man?
1 should like to answer A.'s points, if I could
see them, but the ssarch is like looking for a
jtfy on the town clock, three miles from town,
hard to locate. I don't know for certain what
she was “ hitting at.” but I believe she wished
to disparage fishings by calling them “ Court,
mg Frolics.” Well, what of that ? The girls
and boys will court, (if they are not like Amy,
too fretful,) and what better place could they
choose than those “ romantic spots ” near the
little “Niagaras” so graphically described by
our friend ? Look here, A?ny, do you think
to drive the “old folks” from sending their
daughters to these frolics, by catling them
“Courtiog Frolics ?” If you do, you are sad
ly mistaken. The “old folks” like for their
girls to be. courted ; and if you desire to keep
the girls away from fishings, your essay has
done more harm than good. Courting- -it is
the very thing for the old folks, they talk
about it after they retire at night. Didn't
you never hear your mother say when you
Were passing through h r bed room, that such
a c* ip would be ag< od chance for At/i> 1 1
Lupc she didn't mean ‘ this child.” Ah. lad} •
didn't you know the p .ople would say you had

deepest emotions, amid each scenery as you
describe. Don’t you think you missed you.
calling when you turned authoress ? Go bow
down at Cupid's throne and implore forgivness
for speakiug so slightly of his iufiucncc aud
worshipers. Well, I guess Amy is “ kinder
sswed,” so I’ll proceed to speak of the bene
fits of these parties on the creeks, as I promis
ed in tiio beginning. The first reason I offer
for them is, they are the most innocent kind
of parties. There is no darkness to hide deeds
of evil, and consequently no “ jugce.ies ”
aside, &c. Again, the human system needs
recreation in the open air, aud what place can
be more charming for a stroll, than along the
banks of a creek, meandering through grassy
valleys and shady groves. Aud if the boys
find girls will court; is it it not best fur them
to be where the scenes around would call forth
pure thoughts ? Whose heart docs not heave
with a lively gratitude to God, for his good
neeas, wheu he is standing beside the purling
brook, with one of earth's angels hanging on
his arm ? As he looks about him he secs many
things to make his heart pure ; perchance lie
sees some flower perched on a tall stem above
another of more delicate hue and more fragile
texture, and compares his position, as ho
glances down at the fair one beside him aud
says tbo flowers teach ine a lesson, the latter
one, though rot njjtogftttt; seems to prof jet
the one which appears weaker, aud he involun
tarily exclaims, “ Oh, had I some fair one to
shelter from the storms ot troubles which be
set mankind through life, how well I could
perform the work.” Old Nature is all around
with open portals to her ctor house, bidding
each young heart to enter and cull the beau
ties as they bloom. Who could resist the
temptation of going to a fishing frolic ? How
much better is it, than to go to the bail, iu a
close room, where there is nothing L- a fanci
ful excitement, which lasts blit a moment 1
Hear, all ye people, I litii an advocate of out
door frolics; and I “ bite off ” with high hopes
and full expectations of being at a fishing
frolic again soon. And I’ll wager with Amy,
a sett of shining hopes (hoops) that there will
bo more persons at the next Fishing than was
e-’er at one before in this neighborhood.

Attempted Petticoat Swixnr.e .—• At
Battle Creek, New York, the other evening,
two gentlemen end a one of the real
skirt expanders—got aboard the ears for Chi
cago One gentleman and his wife had through
tickets, while the other paid his fs.eon'yto
lioi fir :.,tion. From certain manifestations,
iieo. fa o iWudles, the conductor, who is keen
on scent, concluded it was the intention of the
trio to dead head one of the tarty through.
On arriving at Augusta, the- gentleman did not
get off, and on search bein’- made, lie was
found secreted in the ladies’ saloon. He wps
brought forth, and directed to leave the train
at the next station, hut on arriving there he
was not to he found. After a long and diligent
search, in which everybody had become Inter
ested, it was concluded 1m had leaped olf the
tl ain while in motion. Speculation was then
rite as to his fate, wlmn a gentleman sitting
near the lady of big dimensions, hinted that
tbuia might there “a talc unfold.”—
On producing a light, four fact were seen pro
truding from her petticoats, which it was un
reasonable to suppose belonged to one person,
and the lady was requested to rise, which she
did after some hesitation, revealing the lost

A Bigamous Scouxdi...l. —We have receiv
ed from a gentleman in Choctaw county, Ala.,
for publication, a somewhat lengthy account
of one of the most villainous cases of bigamy
one in which a respectable and virtuous young
lady was made the victim of a lustful scourf
dfel—that wo. have ever heard or read of. A
man by the name of James Chance {bad chance
would be a better name for him) came into
the the neighborhood from which our corres
pondent writes, last summer, representing
lilmSelf as having fled from Baker county, Ga,
to avoid prefceedtion for a fight whcli he had
in that State- He represented himself as
an unmarried man, and figured extensively
among the ladies, paying his addresses to sev
, oral, and finally, on the 2d of February last,
married a daughter of a respectable citizen of
Choctaw county. Some circumstance led the
father to suppose that all was not rght, and
he wrote secretly to the Sheriffof L’akcr coun
ty, though doubtless, with faint hopes that
Chance had given correctly the place from
which he hailed. It turned out, however, that
he had been fool enough to do, and Mr. S
received replies to his letter both from the
Sheriff and Chance's father, which confirmed
his worst suspicions. The disc'osurses in these
letters showed Chance to be a most unmitiga-1
ted scoundrel. He had a wife and two eliil-1
dren living Georgia, and his father, 4 man of j
wealth, had always been disposed to treat him !
with paternal kindness and provide him ample
means for his support and family. All this,
however, had not been sufficient to restrain bis
mean propensities, and several, years ago he
had left his wife and taken up with a loose wo
man with whom he lived with some twelve
months. His wife was afterwards persuaded
to live with him again, until be left Georgia
for Alabama, where he committed his crown
ing act of meanness and villany, as we have
related. Chance got wind of what was going
on, and left the neighborhood of his exploit be
fore the letters of Georgia wore received, un
dor tfc-v pretence of going back to that State
to get testimony to clear up the suspicion
which had been awakened against him. W’e
have been requested to make this statement,
in the hope that it may put the public on the
‘.fate!, for turn and lead to his arrest,— Pautd •
