fish and spots are famous, and thousands
have sought this locality to indulge In q
salt water fry. Wehave many other species
of the fnny tribe which are well known to
epieures both at b ONE and abroad. But Of
late there sesmslto have been new moyss

blue waters. The hog fish was the first
to 'secede,' and the visitors to our shores
are few and of inferior quality. The mul.
let next had q mysterious taking of, and q
bunch ofthem would be .jumpsd at, let
the price be high or low. Now we have to
lament the run of the spot fish. This season
we have had the usual supply but they
have been Of the ANAL fry order. At this
season of the year they should be of good
size, and on tho aincr ease in fairness and
favor till the latter part of September, dur'

sailing. The praun, Of which there used

DIsoRDERLY.- We would call the atten-
ton of the police to number of bad boys
who nightly congregste on the southwest
corner of Freemason and Oatharine streets,
and "make night hedious" with their
fearful imprscations, low slang, and vul-
gar witicisms. They appear to have little
or no respect for ladies who frequently. on
passing there. are made to blush at their
abominable obscenity. They are, in fine,
. nuisance To that neighborhood, and we
hope the Mayor will instruct his officers to
disburse them, and put stop to Their
shameful proceedings.
