Brown and black beetles, are excellent 

 baits for dibbling for large trout and chub, 

 the former have been very scarce for several 

 summers past, owing I apprehend to the 

 inclemency of the winters ; they may be 

 seen flying about in hot summer evenings in 

 the months of June or July, or found in 

 the day time, on the oak, maple, or ozier ;. 

 they must be kept in boxes, with holes to 

 admit the air, and will live two or three 

 days on the leaves of the trees they were 

 found upon. Black beetles are found in 

 the earth under fresh horse dung,, by remov- 

 ing the dung, and digging with a trowel i 

 they creep there to deposit their eggs, and 

 the holes they make in the ground, will di- 

 rect the searsh for them ; these must be kept 

 in an earthen pot, with a little of the earth*
