fine trout was captured was originally publish
ed in New Hampshire paper in 1892:
"We hear from Enfield, in the upper part of
Keene, that as two men were crossing pond in
the pursuit of moose, one of them being thirs-
ty, and perceving hole which had been cut
through the ice by some fishermen, he stopped
down to drink, but possessed of large red nose
fish supposed he had some bait, and made bold
to snap at it, when the man, suddenly throwing
his head back, drew out trout which weighed
three pounds and four ounces.

[From the New York Courier and Enquirer of the soih u1
FOREIGN Dry GooDs.-We annex our GUS
tomary monthly tables, showing the importa-
tions Of foreign dry goods into this port during
the month of April, 1850, Isl, '52 and SO. 1t
will be seen that the importions for the present
year largely exceed any former period, being
no less than $780, 1923 during the last four
months, against $19,889,l77 for the correspond
ing period last year. and "a, 80 1871 for the past
month, against So, 5S2, 40S in April, 1852
1t will be seen that the increase is greatest in
silk goods, being more than 100 per cent on the
importations Of April last. The importation Of
wooden goods for the month, exceeds that Of
last year 100 per cent; cotton goods, more than
so per cents; fax, 30 per cent
These statements will strike many Of ouI
readers with surprise, as showing the enormous
outlay by our people for the more cost by manu-
| features of England and the Continent. We or,
no longer contented with fine cotton goods, d,
LANES, and other manufactures, which, in by
gone years, were thought good enough for con
sumption among the States. These officia
tables exhibit no less than eleven millions O
dollars worth of silks alone brought into oui
port during the last four months. Seven mil.
lions and upwards in wooden goods; over six
millions in cottons, and general aggregate Of
more than thirty millions in value.
This, be it remembered, when money has been
in active demand at nine to eighteen per cent
per annum, for weeks in succession, on the best
paper that could be produced. The Dry goods
business during the present season has been more
active than ut any former period, and the market
is nearly bare of the various descriptions Of
French and British goods, the prices of which
are fully sustained.
The amount of duties collected at this port is
| very large for the present month. The Sub
Treasury at NewYork holds upwards of six
million eight hundred thousand dollars, and the
whole sum on deposit at the various offices, a
the last official report, was above Eighteen Mil
lions of Dollars.
the quarter ending March 81 were sos, 623 ,965
