ll mamasâ€"rm. is the time of year for fl't':l| water herrings, but from some 3 reason they have been very scarce since i 1.994, when they " ran " in such num- q t l bcrs that sometimes nearly a hundred would be brought up by a single dip of one of the small nets used for citchin; them. This year scarcely any have been captured here at the Falls. and a . resident of ltosedale told us last Mon- day that there had only been one day's good herring fishing at that village. al- though we had heard all sorts of reports of big runs, and, as far as we can learn, the run at CobocOnk has been a very poor one. S.\\vt.oos â€"â€"On Tuesday last a small drive of about 2.000 logs, belonging to Mr. McDonald of Lindsay, went over the Fencinn Falls slide, and about 20,- 000, owned by the Rathbun Um, com- menced to run on Wednesday afternoon. M r. McDonald’s logs were part of a lot that. were to have been sawn for him at Mr. J. A. Ellis's mill, and the lumber from those that were sawn was destroy- cd by the fire that cleaned out his yard on the 9th ult. The Rathbun Co's logs were left in Cameron lake last sum- mer because there was no room for them in Mowry's bay at the mouth of Fenc- lon river. llom: Au.u.\'.â€"â€"The party of six who left the Falls for the north at the com- mencement of the deer hunting season, are all home again. Messrs. Edwards and McNally returned on Monday and Messrs. Whissile, Robson, Aldous and lleaslip arrived yesterday (Thursday) morning. bringing with them twelve deer of various sizes. Mr. R. J. Mc- Laughlin of Lindsay was with them, but could only stay a few daysâ€"time cuough, however, for him to shoot the two deer to which each hunter is limit- ed by law. We always manage to keep on the right side of our local sportsmen, and usually get a good big chunk of el- ecmosynary venison when they cut up the spoils of the chase. llOSl-ll):\l.E.â€"O:l Tuesday last the Empire passed through the Fenclon Falls locks with the “clam digger" (a sort of dredge) and the dynamite house from llnswtlult‘. where the work in the channel of the river has ceased for this season. The dredge proper was taken to Bobcnygeon. where its services were required, on Monday of last week. The new swing bridge at Rosedale, 138 feet in length. was opened and closed for the first time on Tuesday, the 16th, and the approach to it. 150 feet long, at the north end, is completed. South of the swinga bridge between 150 and 200 feet long is yet to be built, and, until it is, there will be no vehicular traffic across the river. The new bridge is 41: feet higher than the old one. The Admiralty is turning its atten- tion to the north of Ireland as a. recruit- ing ground for the navy. Enteric fever has broken out among a gang of Glasgow potato diggers, 21 in number. on a farm in the western dis- trict of Sterlingshirc. The whole gang. without any separation of sexes. were housed in n bothy about 17 feet square. The three little children of Captain Logic, of the British ship Queen Vic- toria. from Manilltt, all under seven years old, had been at sea sixteen months when the vcsnol docked at the foot of \Varren street, Brooklyn. They could keep their feet in any kind ofa blow and son, but had lost their " land legs." When they stepped ashore they rolled and pitched in their stops like an old A. B. on deck in a cross sea. Ten thousand livc lobsters formed the queer cargo recently delivered frotn a Spanish schooner to the order ofa firm at Marsaillcs. The feeding ofsuch n numerous living freight was got over by the simple expedient of placing the crustaceans in a compartment of the hold through which sea water Was al- lowed to flow. carrying with it the ne- cessary food supplies in the form of the small fish and infusoria dear to tho crns mt‘can palate. Captain Monro, Her Majesty’s lu- spccwr of Constabulary, was much im- pressed with the fine physique of seven recruits at Gnvan police inspection the other day, their average height being 6 feet 2% inches. One of the men is prob ably tho tulicst policeman in this enun- trv. measuriqu in his stocking soles 0 thin 7.1x int-hos. His father is a native of lio§shirtx and his mother hails from England, while he was born at. Black- lion. County Cavnn, where his father is n farmer. An awt'nl case of child neglect is re- partod l'rnn lir‘in by the [Lily New. correspiudent. l‘hc poor children had been la‘ll'llell in a little room where they n'ver saw the light of day, and Were I". an indescribible state.
