Some time since you copied an article
relative TO the destruction of hundreds OF
tbousonds of dollars worth of oysters in New

.omc more able writer to come forward and
defend this excellent fish from this unjust
attack. The drum-Gsh makes its appear

Of March, and remains until about the MD
die of April They come in schools, and
run up the rivers to spawn, ana whlle so
doing make noise like mutfled drum: and
can be heard at quite distance. They arc
found all along our coaCt, and weigh from ten
to one hundred pounds. They feed not upon
oysters. but upon the softshell crab, prawn,
and shrimps. ] have caught them, and
seen hundreds of them dressed, but never
saw ANYTHING to indicate their iusifiablc
love for bivalvcs. The roc is most dell
cious, the residents on the coast down

accountable present They have been caught
in scines in great numbers, and retained IN
them for days until disposed OF. They are
not n vicious fish, l>ut the catching Of them
with q line is one of the most exciting cX-
ploits Of the sportsman. The scale is
very large and brilliant, and has to be
scaled off with an axe or hatchet Their
flesh is coarse but tender, and compares
fayorably with any of our saltwater flsh.

TY-THREE AND HALE ACRES.
This tract of land Is regarded AZ exceedingly
valuable and desirable-well adapted 10 the growth
Of all the usual products OF the county.
An accurate description OF the land Is deemed
unnecessary, as 1t Is presumed that persons de-
string TO purchase will examine and judge for

The Harvard crew continue to practice
daily on the Putney water both morning
and evening. On Monday afternoon they
discarded their own boat and went out in
racing four-oar lent them by the London
Rowing Club, and, Notwithstanding it was
their first attempt in an English out-riggcr,
sat her very steadily. On Tuesday and
again Yesterday they were out in the same
boat, which was built by Claspcr, and APP
pear to row better and faster in her than in
their own ship. In consequence of having
been accustomed to row stroke on the star
board or bow side, as we term it, instead OF
on the port or proper stroke side, 1t be-
came necessary with the change OF boat
that corresponding change in the positions
of the oarsmcn should be made, so that
each man might, as it were, retain his own
oar and row on the side to which he had
been accustomed. Mr.. Loring, therefore,
who had been rowing the bow oar, was
brought into the after part Of the boat, and
occupied the stroke thwart, Mir. Simmons
shifting from stroke to No. ), MIR. Rice from
No. 3 10 No. 2, and Mr.. Bass from No. to
bow. BY this alteration each man con-
tiuues to pull on his own side and to use
his own oar and certainly the alteration is
by no means for the worse, it having been
generally remarked that since Monday,
when the change of boats and places oc-
Cured, there had been marked improve
mcnt in the crew. The Oxford men are
now in practice at Pangborne.
