ANGLING.

A short de|Scription given by a correspondent to a Home ! paper of the rivers of Newfoundland, a country called the Sportsriiaii's Paradise, will be of, interest to anglers in.this land. The country is very weir watered, and the rivers said to be full of fish— the lakes of trout and the rivers of salmon. It is said that Newfoundland is one of the few paradises without a serpent, but as a compensation for this want, is afflicted with'thecaribone flies, the mosquitos , and the black flies, all of which bite more or less venomously. On a fishing trip a guide or gillie is taken, who will do all the odd jobs that fall to the lot of the French Canadian voyageur Most of the fish are caught wading. The streams are mostly very broken, rather rapid, with banks on which grow the never-failing pines, growing on the barest of rocky ground. One feature of the fishing is that the angler does not have to get the leave of any landlord, nor is the fishing private property. This would appeal greatly to the" English sportsman. - A license; of two pounds gives one the free run of the island's salmon fishing for a year.
