Appearance of Strange Members Of
the FInny Tribe tn New York
Lakes. t.-r
From the Roch ester Union.
The appea rance of new and strange
fish in Lakes Ontario, Seneca and other
inland bodies of water, has been more
than once re ferred to in these columns,
and description of the fish given to the
public. 1t resembles the shad OF the
Atlantic coist and rivers more closely
than any other fish that we see The
difference ia, however, considerable, as
will be showiI.
These fis,a appeared in the waters OF
western New York two or three years
since, aud th ey were then small, so small
that they cou Id scarcely be taken IN the
nets and Sc ines in use. IL is evident
that these wei immigrants, ell young-a
detachment CT Young America in The
fnny tribe VIII had left the fatheraud or
sea-snd all b ad gone into the lakes TO
seek new hon es, where they could f1nd
better food and incur less hazard Of being
devoured by tn monsters OF the ocean,
who are, supp, Ised to use sardines and
other small fry, as men do pepper and
salt, to season meal.
A yesr or two in the cold fresh water
of the lakes. improved their condition
vastly, They grew finely, and last year
they could not escape the meshes as be-
fore. and were taken into the markets
pier tifulIy with other fish with which the
fisi .ermen had a better acquaintance.
TT .ese strangers were little bony, not
m ore so than the sbad, and are scarcely
il iferior, except i u price, which makes
f.reat difference with people who feel In
clined to be snobby in an epicurean way.

numbers would be us eless task with
hope to make an appro. ximstion to what
they really are. The lar, yest OF these nsn

The inquiry naturally ar, 'se as to the
name and origin OF this 81 range nsn.
Citizens of Geneva sent a saml 'ie OF these
fsh to Professor Agassiz, supp osed to be
better posted as to piscatoriai mstters
than any other man. He prenou nced the
fish fresh water alewize, but ,tid not,
we believe, attempt to account for iss 70.
cent appearance in the lakes. V.'rlous .
theories were advanced by those VIM
knew nothing of the matter. The pre-
vailing notion among the more intsih-
gent who thought on the matter was that
the fish had come into the lakes from tre
Atlantic by way of the st. Lawrence.
This belief is now tolerably well estao-
lished, as the same fish has been fonnd IN
Atlantic waters, evidently an old resi-
dent there.

This gentleman, resident of Linden,

ic nomination for Senator in the district
now represented by Hon. d. B. Thomas.
Col Rice is a lawyer of fine standing at
the bar, and universally esteemed by all
who know him.
He will be remembered as one of the
opposing candidates against Capt. yno. Nj
Taylor in the late canvass for Distric.
Attorney, and was only beaten by small
majority. Indeed, no other man but Tay-
lOr could have been his successful rival
Mr.. Rice is a sOn-in law of the late Judge
Abram Caruthers, and was taught the
law by that truly able and distinguished
man. Altogether that Senatorial district
has done well, and we predict the cleo
ton of Col. Rice without even the shad-
ow of opposition. The convention which
nominated Rice endorses John Brown

An Engagement i'm Progress.

7 Tours, Oct. 2. AN engagement is now
going on near st. German on the road to
Beauvais. II was reported at Everaux,
yesterday, that 1900 Prussians had oc
cupied Nantes. The besiegers have
hitherto kept themselves carefully beyond
range of the guns on the walls of the
capital, and the defenders are restless in
their inactivity.
The comma nder at Fort Issy has de-
clared that he will not surrender on any
terms.
The National Guard now in active SER
vice in Paris numbers 975, 900 men. This
immense force rapidly consumes the sup
