says:-"A friend who has justreturned from
the sea shore of New Jersey, informs US
that the whole shore, for thirty or forty miles,
is covered with dead fish, castup by the sea.
They are Of all kinds, from the smallest
perch, TO the largest sturgeon some rock fish
weighing forty OF fifty pounds, and rich sea
bass. Many of the fish are washed up be-
fore they are dead. Sogreat in the number,
that a gentleman computed that on Lean
ing's Beach alone there must be ten thou
sand bushels. What has happened among
the fish, we cannot tell, as we do not know
to what unwholesome infu ences they are Ii.
able in the deeps below, but something ex-
traordinary must have been in operation TO
produce an evil so extensive. Was it vol
