a SINGULAR SIGHT.-A curious sight was
presented tor some hours this morning along
the banks Of Park River, in the Park, from
Mulberry street bridge down to Daniels dam.
Owing to some cause not fully explained, the
fish rose in swarms to the surface OF the
river, thrusting their heads ont and grasping
as if for air: and crowds of people, old women
with long poles having baskets attacked, men,
girls and boys, all armed with scoop nets,
poles with bags at the end, or some other con
trivance for catching them, were busy landing
the fish. Large picker rel, suckers, eel, &c, were
secured by the bushel,-a Godsend to poor
folks in these times of high prices, if the fish
prove wholesome. What caused this phe-
nomenon? The unusually thick m uddy water
after these rains!-oF some poisonous stuff
into the stream from the factories and bre weries
