FISHING BY ToRCHLIGHT. - The Lynn
(Mass.) Reporter, of November IA, states
that recently fisherman have tried the ex-
pertinent Of burning tar barrels On the
:. back side =" of Nahant, for the purpose of
Turing within their reach schools of herring
repurted to be in the bay, The effect was
quite successful, and large numbers were
taken. The plan adopted was to hold the
blazing torch over the waters edge, while
another, with scoop net or bucket. dipped
out the fish aud deposited them in safety on
the shore. Some of the party thus secured
as many twenty bucketsful, and others
were more or less fortunate. This mode of
fishing has not been tried to any great eX-
tent in this vicinity before, and was rather
d matter of experiment. 1t is likely to be
tried more extensively in future.
