has the following
Yesterday we noticed that two young sharks, II
and 5 feet long, had been caught the previous eve.
ming near Fulton Ferry slip. Yesterday three others
of still larger size taken at the same place. and
others that nbbed at the bait and got fast for few
seconds effected their escape. On Monday last son
Of Mr. Skinner, of Prince street, Flushing, while
bathing near that village, was knocked down, and
had one of his legs most terribly laceraed in three
paces-it is supposed by shark, he that he
the fin of large fish above the water only mo-
ment before he was knocked down and mutilated. By
making resolute spring toward the Shore the water
being only 20 to 80 inches deep at that point, the lad
escaped further attack. From the above facts, it is
evident that sharks are numerous in the East river,
and probably in the North river also at the present
time consequently, bathers should not venture into
| these waters.

SINGULAR INcIDENT-A most singular incident
occurred in Burrell township, short time since,
which is worthy of notice. Two sons Of Mr. John H.
Isett were in the habit Of setting might lines in
the Allegheny river in order to become possessed Of
the tinny tribe. One morning very mysterious
looking thing observed from the shore, being
attached to one Of the lines out some distance. On
drawing in the line, fish was fast on the hook, with
its head protrudng from the orice of human skull
which rests upon the vertebral column; its body
being in the skull and too large to allow its escape
therefrom The theory is that the fish became domi-
ciled in the skull some time snce and grew until it
became imprisoned therein beyond its power to escape
unaded. The skull is sound and has four teeth in
the remainder having dropped out. Its shape indi-
Gates that it possibly belonged to negro, and was
perhaps that Of a female. [Phil Evening journal.

THE WEArHER.-Yesterday morning was cool
enough for the initial day of autumn TWAS clear
too that we hoped the rain had ceased. But before
noon, the wind whipped around, and we had quite a
heavy rain. Every where now there are complaints
of the wetness Not only in Alabama but all through
the States down to Maine. The only great harm it
can do to the crops is here within the South.

INTERESTING TO DoCroRs.-The large city hospital
of Chicago has been placed by the Board OF Health,
aopathic school of medicine, and the other of the
homeopathic To the latter only about one,fourth Of
the building has been allotted, but more room will be
given if needed. Each patient, on entering, is to
choose which school of physicians shall take him in
charge If he is Indifferent or unable to choose he
will be assigned to the other Schools according
to the week in which he enters may be odd or even
as numbered in the year. Thus the two systems are
fairly matched against each other, and sharp and
careful rivalry will be inaugurated in the good work
of saving life. The respective Boards are to keep
records Of the symptoms treatment and result of their
cases. a published comparison of which, at the end Of
the year, would doubt form an exceedingly inter-
esting study for the profession generally.

Col A. r. Mitchell editor Of the Democratic Egs
published in De Soto parish, has disposed Of his
paper to Mr. Bennett Of the De Soto Columbian, and
the two are to be incorporated in one. The Colum-
bian of the 1st inst. says:
The first of the week leveral heavy showers fell
throughout the parish. Since then the weather has
been clear with occasional clouds. Crops, both Of
cotton and corn, are growing finely The prospects
of heavy yield continue TO brighten.
The Thibodaux Minerva of Saturday last has the
following:
The weather remains in statu quo-i. e. niserably,
rainy and muddy. Our roads, especially those lead
ing to Houma, are in most wretched condition.
The cane crop is growing finely but it is far behind
| for the season.
| Strange to say, while we of Lafourche and Terre-
bonnie almost submerged, we learn that the crops
in various portions Of the parishes Of Assumption
and Ascension are eSufering from want Of rain.
The Plaquemine Sentinel of Saturday last says:
Up to to-day (Friday.) it has rained in this town
and vicinity every day consecutvely for the last
nineteen days; and from appearances before Us at
the time Of indtng this paragraph it will rain again
to-day. The planters, as Of the consequences Of
this continued wet weather, will save fodder ex
cept in damaged state. It win prove injurious to
cotton also, but fortunately there are not than
three four cotton plantations in the parish if there
are that many.

A man named Joseph Rademacher went out on
Tuesday morning, in company with little brother, to
pick raspberries They carried their dinners with
commencing their days work. Rademacher deposited
his dinner basket and coat on the ground, and en-
ployed himselffor time in picking berries, when
his attention attracted by noise, he looked
around, and, to his intense establishment, large
she BEAR accompanied by three cnbs, engaged in de-
vouring his dinner 1t was but the work of moment
to drop his basket of berries and hurry, with his
young brother, from the spot He saw two boys not
far off from him when he left the spot, but said
nothing to them. Before himself and brother had
got safe distance they heard terrible screams In the
direction they had left, which only served TO accele
rate their pace and place greater distance pet"eeu
them and danger. They soon overtaken py one
of the boys whc came rushing after them IN pewii

| fate The cawardlv race soon brought them to the
city when they spread the alarm, and large party
was uuckly formed for the rescue, which proceeded
