ILL., SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1870.
S. A on Fish.
BY BEKMlS,
The fi.-h is not a musical least, though some
of them give forth "sounds," as the cod fish, for
instance. He cannot speak any of the dead lan
guages, except his own, which is so dead you
can't hear it. They seem to understand each
ether, though each ha a different tongue. They
are a sad paradoxical sort of a bird, with mouths
largo enough, yet they can't sing ; though near
sighted, they do not wear spectacles ; without
ears he can hear all you say, henc you should
never swear in his presence, or you'll not catch
a finh. The fish is uo r-jmancer, though "thereby
hangs a tail and he is the origin of "whoppers
of stories." What game at card he plays we
know not, yet his "tricks" are all scalry. Though
he frequently appears to smile, he is often crab
bed, clammy, and backs out of any difficulty
crawfishing. He never was known to write a
letter, and yet many a line is dropped to him.
He is very credulous, generally swallowing any
thing presented to him. Theugh not a base-ball
player Le is often "caught out on a fly." He
will take what things he wants by "hook or
crook," you hook his mouth, crook your elbow,
and he takes a flying lesp and is a "gone suck
er." The poet said of him :
"There1. the ntite little flsli.
Tiiounh he tau't spake, he'd wish."
Some have saws, but are not carpenters ; others
carry swords but were never in the army. They
fly without winsrs ; walk without feet, and can
climb a tree and rob birds nests. But fearing
this may be cot -idered a burlesque on the finny
tribe, we close y saying that plenty abound in
the streams in nd about Ottawa, and overybody
has become h fi.herman.
Akkived At Burke & Heenan's, direct frem
the east, n elegant supply of new goods for the
Spring trade. Their stock comprises light and
fancy goods for spring or summer wear. These
are of every variety, from that worn by tho man
of leisure to the farmer and mechanic. They
are of the finest texture, or of th6 coaner grades,
and all cheap in proportion to their quality, so
that either tho poor or the rich man can please
himself in every respect. Besides these are
lidies' dress goods, an endless variety of prints
and calicos for every day wear, all of the latest
styles and prettiest patterns. They have a lot
of superior hidies' shawl of vnrious color.
There i no limit scarcely to their stock of no
tions of all sorts, as well as a complete supply of
sheetings, shirtings, aS:c. Their lino of groceries
is large and full, while their stock of boots,
shoes, cap, ilc, is fully replenished.
Mes.-rs. Burke t JJeenan are determined to be
beaten by no other firm or house in Ottawa,
either in thn extent and variety of their goods,
or in keeping pare with the reduction of prices.
Confident of a nood senson for all sort of busi
ness this year, they have bought very largely
this spring, and have been enabled to obtain a
splendid stock which they can sell at bottom
figures.
Still Tiikv Comk. All the week there has
been a crowd of people, chiefly the elite of our
city, at Hull's, looking through and buying
those fine goods of which Hull has such a heavy
assortment. The stock would do credit to the
finest dress goods store in Broadway. The va
riety is immense ; the quality the most elegant ;
while the prices are such a to enable any one
to buy ; and so reasonable are the prices, and
superiot in pattern, style and fashion, that no
one need go abroad far f incy goods of any sort.
Mr. Hull makes it a point to keep all the fiuer
grades, and is especially careful to keep hi
stock up with the fashions. As fast a he learns
of a new fashion prevailing at .New York, or at
any of the fashionable places, he at once pro
cures the article. He says it is no troublo to
show goods. He is always on hand with a corps
of good looking nud gentlemanly assistants ready
to wait upon his customers.
Gentlemen will find exactly what they want,
in the way of ttylish boot of every grade, at
Child it Bro's.
Loun's Dkamatic Tkoii-e. This company
have been performing here this week to moderate
houses, and by general consent are the best art
ists in the profession, who have visited Ottawa
for mauy years. Mr. Lord is a versatile actress
of rare power, and ha won a host of friends
here, by her true rendering of the many part
she assumed and so correctly personated. She
i a lady of graceful and dignified deportment,
and fascinating manner, nd i well deserving
of the praiso .she everywhere so freely receives.
Tho others of the troupe sustain her very fully.
J. A. Lord, the leading man ?ind manager, de
serves equal praise, and stands high in tho pub
lio esteem.
The comedian, J. A. Simon, is it trump,
nuitting keen wit with sarcasm and ull the
provoking attitudes.
Addie Corey is a gem of eight years, and al
ready i a mistress of her profession.
So, in short we ean say of tho company, that
they uro very successful uud hope they will fa
vor us again with other similar meritorious en
tertainment. They close to-night by giving the far famed
play of Uncle Tom's Cabin."
Go to Nelson Card's nnd get him to put you
up some of that " 70." It is the purest and best
Bourbon made.

Tm. Old Rkli vulk. Good bread can Lo
made only from good flour. F.rn the best ba
ker and most skillful housewife can. not obtain
even a passable sort of bread from inferior or
poor fiuur. While these Hro self-evident facts,
admittod by all, yet there are many who will
buy an inferior flour aud foolishly hope to get
eatable bread. To be sure you are getting u first
quality of flour, patronize tho Eaglo Mills, in
this city. Jerry Wood has boen Ion in the
business; has experimented on all grade of
wneat, so that he know every quality, und what
sort of flour it will produce.
His machinery has been perfected year by year
until now it is a complete, in every detail, a

such importance that, he cannot aff.nd to plane it
in jeopardy by auy loi.se or ctrnless mode of do
ing business. So whatever ho sells in tho mill
er's lino will be found precisuly as represented.
Go to Wood's for pure flour.
