SALMON IN THE SEVERN.--A very interesting
spectacle was witnessed last Sunday by hundreds of per-
sons taking their walk down the right bank of the Severn
as far as Diglis-weir. At that barrier across the river
numbers of salmon of all sizes, from the smallest grilse to
the monarch of the river, weighing between 311 b. and
401 b., were leaping and working up the weir, trying all
sorts of manoeuvres in their frantic but vain efforts to
surmount it. It was evident to all who witnessed the
movements of the fish that it was impossible in the then
low state of the water for them to get over the weir or
through either of the passes. Fortunately a fresh came
down the river on Sunday night, and the next day the
water rose sufficiently to enable the salmon to get over;
and we hope by this time they have arrived at their spawn-
ing beds at the head of the river, where only the spawn
can be safely deposited. We hear that some vagabonds
have made several attempts during the night-time to take
the fish while lying at the foot of the weir, but their at-
tempts have been frustrated by the police and officers of
'the Fishery Board, who have kept a close watch on their
movements.— Worcocerthire Chrynicle.
