FISH TowN.-Spring with bland zephyrs,
bright sunshine and gay flowers brings, also,
Fish Town, inevitable as the vernal equinox,
In peace orwar, storm or calm, that interest,
ing village rises to greet the sun as he crosses
the line, and pours forth with the early flow

years past the ravages Of war,-Quartermas-
ters,-and order No 4, have diminished It's
Importance, but it comes again in the train OF
peace Ikea darkey with a bunch Of herrings
behind his mistress It does not do to under
rate it's Importance, for Fish Town will have its
rights; last year it cost the city suit, and an
other suit this year was just escaped. We ere
sorry to chronicle that the venerable institu-
ton seems, so far, to hes moving along very
slowly. A number of temporary booths have
been erected in proximity to the wharf; some
of which are already occupied BY parties max
ing ready for the coming trade: old hogsheads,
tubs and striking yats are under the cooper s
hands, being made good as new several
restaurants are waiting for custom--and 50 far
this is the sun Of Fish Town It is expected,
however, that few weeks viii completely
change the aspect Of the place, and give 70 the
neighborhood an air of business which even the
busiest portion Of the town cannot rival. We
trust that al parties concerned in the business
may tind an ample reward for their ators, and
that We may have this year, what our people
used to believe one Of the most sure fore-run-
ners Ct prosperous year,-a good Fishing
season.

count, as relief from the labored and Sti7y
style of most Lectures. who prepare their com

then, too, Dr. S. has had the advantage Of see

country, and the products CT the soil, but the
habits and manners Of the peoplc-all of which
be graphically describes. He exhibited the
costumes of the people, some specimens of ma

gave Us an amusing account of the mode OF
travelling, and of an Eastern feast The ref

and its different phases were watched by many
interested witnesses, it was beautiful aud

solemn sight. In the early part Of the
evening the sky was cloudy but it cleared away
sufficiently in due time, and the event appeared
to good advantage At $50 P NJ. the eastern
limb CT the moon touched the shadow which
the earth throws out into infinite space, and
progressing in its orbit sank into it deeper and
deeper. until at 1886 it was completely im-
mersed. It did not, however, become totally
invisible, but assumed a dull, coppery hue
This state Of total immersion continued unti
IA minutes past y clock, when the eastern
limb again appeared in its woatcd silvery
brightness, and gradually the orb emerged
from the shadow, aud at ]. 20 a. N. stood out
uidheaycn in its accustomed briiliancy.
