writes from Long Preston : ' A week ago few Eagjidk

was done in a single night. The gas company at Settle
emptied the poisonous contents of their gasometer (that
they might make sumo alteration in it) into the river, sad
within 24 hours every fish in the river's course downwards
died. Throagh tow ns end villages, broad estates and parka, the
rich pastures of Craven, and the quiet valleys of Holland,
the sad tidings spread. Little work was done that day—
the inhabitants had enough to do in drawing the fish le

weight of salmon and trout taken out dead, their very
lash reeking of the poisonous gas, which unfitted them
men for the purpose of manure. Not a tittlehat, leach.
or even eel has survived. The fish lie like pebbles at the
bottom. Through some of the river's beet preservers the
expense and care of years have thus been utterly Harm
away, and, what is worse, the enjoyment and partial Wog
of hundreds of the inhabitants along the unpreserved cowls
of this beautiful river are destroyed."
