Thirty-four black bass have been deposited
by the commissioner of fisheries in Duck
Pond in Falmouth. They were obtained in
Newburg, N. Y, from the private ponds of
Walter Brown of New York, who gave them
for the purpose. This species is of fine quail
ity for eating, grows to fair size, sometimes
reaching six pounds in weight and being OF
a spunky disposition affords great sport in the
catching. If they are allowed fair chance
they breed rapidly. But it is of the greatest
Importance that none of them be destroyed
for year or two, and we trust that all per-
sons will be sufficiently public-spirited to
avoid killing any of them for this and the
next season, at least. If one is accidentally
hooked while fishing for other kinds in Duck
Pond on the stream or river below, free him
with the greatest care and LEI. him go again.
The general form of the fish is much like the
salt water Gunner; its color is greenish, often
prettily mottled on the back, and with two or
three dark bronze stripes across the side of
the face, and some similar stripes, faint and
broken, running lengthwise on the sides of tht
body. Its build is clumsier than the yellow
perch, and the front part of the back fin is not
so high. A

PHILADELPHIA Sept. 11.-Coal Market.-TheIe
is but little change to note since last report, the
market having continued dull at about the same
rates. Eastern dealers show but little disposition to
purchase, their stocks about large they
| are well able to carry, and only doing a very
small business. This of the trade is cauzing
and will cause still further decrease in the produce
| ton. As natural result the market will be very
active later in he autumn at higher rates. and prob
ably excessive prices will rule in the Eastern market
during the winter.

THE LATEST FAsHIoNs.-A New York jour-
nal has grown desperate in view of the contin-
uation and aggravation of the absurdities Of
fashion:
The last horrid invention of fashion is the
bird hat, which is copied from the English
modes for ladies this fall. The round hat is
entirely covered with the breast of partridge
or golden pheasant as it was stripped from the
bird and, to add to the tout ensemble, the head
of the creature, with uplifted beak and angry
eye, is put on as crest, peering and pecking
directly on the front 1t is a horrid and saw.
age looking fashion, suggestive of bloody fin.
gers and greasy scalping knives. The gentle
maid of the avenue might add a lock Of hail
torn from the head of her worst enemy or mos
devoted lover With spear in the end of her
parasol and Japanese deaths head rafting
among the charms at her watch-guard, thu
war-psint on her cheeks, and this deadly sig
nal on her brow, she is far from pacific OIL
alluring creature. We suggest Tor this coat
arms the old legend,

WALTER BROWN ON THE BOAT RACE.-Wal.
ter Brown writes to Wilkes Spirit of the Times
in regard to the international race as follows
The great international boat race may now
be numbered among the events of the past, and
though it will cause Americans abroad and at
nome to regret the result, we trust our young
amateurs will profit by their experience That
every American from Maine to California look
ed for and desired the success of the Harvard
crew, does not admit of doubt Sympathiz-
ers will spring up and account for their defeat
IN many ways and in view of this particular
am induced to write from professional
stand point. The race in our mind has been
conducted strictly in a fair and straightforward
manner. A clear course and no fdU0r to either
party was very evident to all when witnessing
snch an immense concourse of people, and
small boats which can only be numbered by
thousands; and remarkable to say, not one in
the course of the contestants. Even the feel
lngs OF the people expressed along the banks of
the muddy river Thames, were about equally
divided; and, remarkable to say, the vanquish-
ed received more applause than their more
lucky opponents
This race has demonstrated very important
fact and in our opinion the American crew
have found it out at the eleventh hour-that a
coach. an experienced professional oarsman as
trainer, is indispensable among amateurs; for
one man to be selected in the crew to set the
stroke, train the crew, act as captain, teach
the coxswain, and to sum it up, be the general
business manager, is too much to ask of one
man; this was Mr. Loring's position He
worked very hard to bring his crew to the line
in the finest possible condition, and in doing
so overworked himself to such an extent that
he was unfit on the appointed day. Without
poubt there was bad judgment displayed in the
selection of the crew, and also in the selection
of the coxswain, for, in the opinion of quite all
the Thames professionals, Mr.. Bass was much
preferable to Fay, being certainly as skilled in
the use of the oar, and decidedly much
stronger man. Our American crew was ready
to row the race one week before the day APP
pointed, and had it been got off at this period
the result would have been quite different.
The American stroke and style were admired
by all experts with the oar, not only in words
of praise, but all invested their few pounds or
shillings as their fortunes allowed. The Amer
leans were backed by sue professionals as Har-
~ Kelley and his hacker Charles Bush, who it
is said lost heavily. Renforth backed our crew
to some extent. Taylor and Winship Sy-
monds, the veteran boat-builder, Galston,
President of the London Rowing Club, and
may say nearly if not quite all of the Tynesi-
ders OF North of England rowing men, and
last but we hope not least, your humble ser
Want thought it a walk-over for the Magenta.

a son of Mr.. James Freeman, the oyster dealer

As Mr.. Isaac Barnum's horse, about the
same time, was going down Free street, he
