On Wednesday lest a salmon was caught at one of the
stations on the Tay, of the weight of sixteen pounds, and,
to all appearance, a clean fish. Upon being cut up, how-
ever, the same day, at the fish•yard here, it was found to
be foul, and the roe, which was remarkably large, was
taken out and boiled. The ova, after being separated from
the integument, were about the site of garden peas, and,
upon being counted, turned out the astonishing number of
18,130 ! —Perth Courier.
BAD COUNTRY Nersc—There are at this time persons
going about the town, passing notes of country hankers,
long since defunct as bankers. There is also another spe-
cies of trick practised by these gentry ; that is, going to
coach offices with a number of good country notes, not
payable in London, and requesting the guards and coach-
men, and the book-keepers of the others, to exchange them
for cash or Bank notes, offering a premium for this accom-1
modation, the drawers of which have suspended payment.
They are, in fact, merely waste papet. Several attempts of
this kind have come within our knowledge, sod come of
the parties arc well known.
