DEATH AMONG THE FisnEs.-The Balli-
more Sun states that the part Of Baltimore
harbor known as Hughes's Quay, has been
for a week past filled with immense shoals
of dead fish which have been accumulated
there by the food tides. 1t is supposed
that they we're destroyed by the emission Of
poisonous matter from some neighboring
factory.
The Commissioner Of Health ordered
them to be removed, but after eight scow
loads had been taken away, there seemed
to remain a greater quantity than there
were at FIRST. II was feared that the de-
composition Of the fish would cause disease
in the neighborhood, and at last accounts
thc port warden was ordered to repair to
the scene with q dozen Of his largest
scows and steam tug, and endeavor to ef-
feet their immediate removal.

The SUMNER STREET Dock CASES -
Any number of lawyers, witnesses and
others left our city yesterday for Newport,
II. l., where the Summer street dock cases
are to be tried. These suits were brought
against the city for extending the drain at
the foot OF Summer street to the sea.
Some were tried several years ago, and
the verdicts were against the city. One
was carried to Washington, and the Su-
preme Court of the United States decided
that the verdict was against law, and the
case was sent back to Rhode Island. One
OF the issues to be tried is as TO the owner
ship of the dock at the foot OF Summer
street. The city claim to own it, and to
have right to drain through it or to use
it in any way they please. Other parties
deny all this, and also claim right or
easement in the dock, which they say the
city wrongfuly interrupted.-'rhe counsel
against the city in the several cases, are
Messrs. ChOate, Bartlett, Uurant, and Til
ton, OF Boston, and Hazard, oi Providence.
The counsel for the city are Mr.. Ames, OF
Providence, and Messrs. Chandler, and
Ex.Judgc Hoar. The cases will be con-
tested with power and courage. Mr.. Cho-
ate has been reservng himself for some
time.-Boston Bee.
The U. S. Circuit Court, Judge Pitman

their ticket the last day of March, and took
