ERRING FISIIERY. —The catch—
of Norweigian
herrings has greatly failed this year. For a series of years,
the take on the coast of Norway has been most abundant;
and the quantity annually exported to Sweden, and to the
ports in the Baltic, has ranged between 600,000 to 700,000

midnight he went to the spot and found the grains
literally covered with snails and slugs ; and by sifting
slaked lime over them he destroyed the wswle• The
experiment has become in general use, and SO success-
fully that gardens are cleansed of these insects in a few
nights,—Taunton Courier.
