TWEED SALMON FISHING.—The Berwick Advertiser
says :—" We have better hopes now of a grilse season than
we had last month, as they have come on more plentiful
during the last ten days; and the salmon and trouts are
still continuing to be taken in fair numbers. So very fluc-
tuating is the supply of fish, that while there were nearly
15,000 grilse caught in the Tweed in July, 1857, there were
scarcely 3,000 taken last month."
EXTRAORDINARY COMBAT. The Hull l'achet
rec .rils a rather singular affair which happened near Hull a
few evenings since. Mr. Bray, cowkeeper, who resides in
Hendyke-lane, near Newland, was passing along one of his
fields at dusk, when, a few yards in advance of him, he saw
a band of seven or eight foumarts playing on the cart-road
which skirts the edge. They planted themselves boldly in
his path ; and when he attempted to drive them off; they
sprang at him in a body, and a furious combat ensued for
five or ten minutes. The little assailants were evidently
bent on effectually using their claws and teeth. As fast as
one was knocked down with his hat, which was all the de-
fence he had, the remainder continued their eflbrts to climb
up his clothes and attack his face. Ultimately, however,
three or four of the foumarts were thrown disabled into the
hedge bottom, and the rest beat a precipitate retreat. Mr.
Bray secured three of them with a piece of string and
carried them away alive.
