It is of little interest to McHenry and still less to the world at large to know that a solitary fisherman Is matching a few ,foolish Pickerel every day, and yet to our prospective summer visitors from McHenry county these '• fishy" remarks may have some trifle of interest, if only to remind them that our waters are no less ^gamey" than themselves, which is a modest allusion to Well garnished wal lets, without which, large fish is some times found wahting in appetite; yet this may be all imagination. The in habitants of this region are rather flattered at the prospect of this new Steamboat which it is hoped will be worthy of the place. Despatch, speed, regularity and coigfortt seasoned with a little dash of elegance, is what the new propeller needs. Mr. Perry, who it is understood partly controls it, will no doubt impart to its management, the tact and system so widely knowu in connection with his popular establish ment, whilst the nautical experience of Capt.

Mr. Ira Snyder, the Engineer, has also a long record on these Lakes, and under his care it is safe to assume on behalf of passengers, that the rates of life insur. auce will be low, and lift guaranteed on all occasions.
