SARDNEs.-Thc editor of the Manchester
Mirror says. from personal knowledge, that the
Bay Of Monterey, California, is literally filled
with this delicious fish. They are said to be
found there in greater abundance than in any
other part of the world. They are to be found
not only at Monterey, but in all the still waters
on the coast from Panama 10 Oregon.
The CHALLENGE AccEPrED-A Mississippi
Poultry improver, brags of hen that, from the
first Of January to the tenth of July, laid lOs
eggs he challenges South Carolina TO beat it.
Mr. J. H, Kab, Of our city, accepts the chal-
lenge. One of his hens, from the first of
January TO- the tenth Of September, laid 1873
eggs, and hatched two broods of chickens.
This beats the Mississippi fowl all hollow.
