NORTH CAROLINA FISHERIES.

An intelligent correspondent of the South
erner, published at Richmond, Virginia, wri-
ting from Edenton in this State, speaks as
follows of the fisheries in the vicinity of that
place. The information is of an interesting
character, and from source that is entirely
reliable -
The fisheries contiguous to this place are
a matter of considerable interest, and quite
worthy brief notice in my letter. For the
very brief season they exist, they are decided
ly the most important interest known to the
people of this State. There are, on the Able
marie Sound alone, some % fisheries, which
work seres varying from 900 to 3 900 yards
long, using each about 100 hands and Is or
20 horses. Some of these seines have been
known to catch as many as 100000 behring's
and as many as 5000 shad at one haul +
The amount of capital invested in the different
fisheries in the Albemarle district, is three
hundred thousand dollars, giving employment
for two months in the year to about five thou
sand hands and two hundred vessels, consul
ming annually about one hundred thousand
bushels of salt, and putting up annually nine
ty thousand barrels of behring's. OF the fish
caught, about three -twentieths may be allowed
for shad. A few years since one haul was
made on the Roanoke river containing forty
five tons OF rock hsh This, know, will
sound to you like " fish story;' but receive
my information from one of the most respec-
table and intelligent citizens of Edenton, and
am willing to stand by it. The seine happen
ed to encounter regular shoal of crooks"
"In the above account of the fisheries.
have only given you those in the Albemarle
district embracing the sound, the Chowan and
Roanoke rivers. From Pamlico Sound have
no accounts. and cannot tell what proportion
| their fisheries will bear to these. The present
year has not been considered SO good as the
past for these fisheries. They perhaps have
! not caught much more than half as many fish
! but the Increased price obtained for them will
reduce the discrepancy to about one-1bird les:
than usual.

contained in this letter. am indebted TO tht

NON-SULTING A CREDITOR,

There was certain lawyer on the Cape a
long time agO-the only one in those '' dig
gems" then, and, for aught know, at present.
He was Il man well to do in the world ; and
what was somewhat surprising in limb OF
the law, averse to encouraging litigation.
One day a client came to him in a violent
rage. Look here, Squire" said he, &c that
ere blasted shoemaker down to Pigeon Cove
has gone and sued me for the money for a pair
of boots owed him. &c Did the boots suit
you? ," cob yes-Pve got 'em on-fust rate
boots" " Fair price - "Oh yes.'' "Then
you owe him the money honestly?' "Course."
s Well, why don't you pay him % "Why,
cause the blasted snob went and sued me ;
and want to keep him out of the money if [
kim" cit will cost you something"
don't keer cuss for that How much money
do you want to begin with - "Oh ten dol
lars will do" " Is that all Well, here's a
X; so go ahead,' and the client went out very
we'll satisfied with the beginning. Our lawyer
next called on the shoemaker, and asked him
what he meant by commencing legal proceed
ings against M. "Why," said he, 81 kept
on sendin to him for money till got tired.
knowed he was able to pay-and | was ter
mined to make him. That's the long and short
of it, "WeIl,' said the lawyer, &c he's al
ways been good customer to you, and
think you acted too hastily. There's a trife
to pay on account OF your proceeding; but
think you'd better take this five dollars and
call it all square" Certain, squire, if you
say so; and darned glad to get it, was the
answer. So the lawyer forked over one V
and kept the other In few days his client
came along and asked him how hegot on with
his case, g RapidIyT' cried the lawyer
"we've non-suited him he'll never trouble
you" " Jerusalem! that's great % cried the
client I'd rather gin fifty dollars than had

which occurred recently in our city, which
cannot resist telling. A young man who is a
sailor, was being examined as witness in
one of our magistrates courts, and upon being
asked where he lived, replied, In Canton,
St. Lawrence county, New York. Some one
remarked, What, in Canton, that is where
Silas Wright resides, is it not ? yes, stree.
said the sailor, and know him well the
last time saw him he had pick axe on his
shoulder. going TO dig a ditch Perhaps
said wing. who was present, he was going
to dig the grave of the loco focos' More
likely responded the sailor, he was going
TO prepare for the interment Ct the whig party
in '4S; for he would make first rate sexton
for them on that occasion You know Mr.,
Wright. then ? asked some one who was pres
ent. Yes. SIR again responded the sailor,
he's the mas who. when he comes from Com
