REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCES


We were informed yesterday by fisherman Just
in from cruise that during his absence he had seen
a most singular phenomenon, the like Of which has
never been known in this latitude. The smack in
which he was had been unsuccessful but very few
fish having been taken, and many Of the old fish.
ing grounds not one could be found In returning
along the south shore Of Long Island their attention
was attracted 10 the beach, which was literally
strewcd with the bodies Of dead fish Just washed 10
from the sea.
Black fish, cunners, HOLSTERS, and crabs, and many
other species which nhabit shores at this season
lay promiscuously the sand. On examining the
well Of the smack, IL was discovered that the fish
which they had taken were also dead As far as the
shore was examined eastward, toward Montauk
Point, il was found to be covered alike with dead
fish
We arc also informed that the smack Caroline on
Friday last, while about fifteen miles from land
passed through Grip" oft sea- formed by adverse
tides, suppose, and that as far could be seen
in either direction the "trip was filled with dead fish
Soon after this, the well of the snack wa. examined
and every fish in il found to be dead These re-
markablc facts require scientific investigation Sim
liar phenomena have been observed in the Mediter.
