Re-animation of frozen Fish.-In winter the Cana
dian fishermen erect huts the ice of the lakes and
rivers and cutting hole in the ice, enclose it with
screen of straw, &c. shelter themselves from the
cold wind. Sitting inside the screen they sink their
hooks through the hole made in the ice. Amongst
the other fish caught perch in abundance Al
ter hauling them up, if thrown aside the ice, they
speedily become frozen quite hard They then take
them home and place them in water fire; in a
short time they begin exhibit symptoms of reanma
ton-the fins first culver, the gills open, the fish grad
ualiy turns itself its belly, at first slowly a.
bout the basin, and at last completely revyes and
swims brisky about.--Edn. N. Phil Jour.
By letter from Worcester we learn the following
particulars of very novel and quixotic adventure :
On Friday evening, little before sunset, two gentle
men Ito all appearance) rode up to the hotel, with
fine horse and chase, and requested refreshment and
lodgings for the night. After refreshing themselves
they walked down Main-street, in arm, and at
tracted considerable attention from the citizens by
their unusually polished appearance. About sunset
man, poshaste, arrived in town, with advertisements,
offering reward for couple of gentlemen, who had
absconded from Albany with hired horse and chase
Our young gentlemen were Immediately suspected,
and accordingly were arrested and examined. They
confessed themselves the rogues and were committed
to prison. After their commitment it ascertaned
that this brace of rogues were females! They are
thought to be about years of age and their novel
introduction the citizens of Worcester has already
drawn to their temporary residence host of curious
and admirng visitors. Lancaster (lfass.) Gds.
