GREAT HAUL OF FISH. Seven reser-
voirs Or ponds of water, covering from
400 to $50 acres each-the largest hav
ing an area of | 200 acres-have recently
been drawn off into the Delaware and
Hudson Canal, in order 70 float nearly a
thousand boats laden with coal. Those
ponds abound in fish, and as the water
was drawn off from them, thousands
upon thousands of cells, pickerel, catfish,
bull-heads, frogs, etc., sought refuge in
the summit level, until it was overstocked,
and the outlets were choked with the
fnny tribe. All the citizens went fol
fish, and obtained them; hundreds o.
acres, it is believed, have been. manured
with the dead fish, and such sight wa.
seldom, if ever, seen before.

A BAD woman,s work.
the Colorado Chiaffain. i.

From the Colorado Chieftain. f,.,s,9.,l.
1t is curious to trace the steps by
which woman uses her power, either
for veal or woe upon men; few women
are neutral in this respect. The old
proverb that, "a bad woman is the devil, "
has never perhaps been more strongly
indorsed than in the case of Mrs, Fair
who murdered Judge A. p. Crittenden,
in San Francisco, on the 10th ,ult. =
Colonel and Mrs. Fair went to Cali
fornia in 1854 Being very beautiful,
Mrs Fair had many admirers, who, by
their batteries, sowed the seeds which
ripened into murder. Mrs. Fair de-
serted the Colonel, who blew out his
brainsin consequence. After the suicide,
Mrs. Fair finding herself shnhned by
society, left Downieville, in which place
she had lived, and went TO San Fran
cisco, where, IN consequence Of her,
great personal charmse she adopted the
stage as a profession. Her notoriety
filled the house to overflowing on the
occasion of her debut as Lady Teazle
in the Metropolitan theater.j j Among
the audience on that occasion was Judge
Crittenden, her recent victim. He be-
came infatuated, sought and obtained an
introduction, and through her influence
deserted his family. While living with
the Judge, Mrs. Fair succeeded in trans
ferring $3.50, 900 from the Judges pocket
to her own, with which she furnished a
splendid mansion for her mother and
sister, upon whom, she settled $2O, 900,
after which she went to Virginia. About
year ago she returned, thinking to re-
cruit her failing purse from her former
victim. The Judge, however having eff
fected reconciliation with his family,
positively refused to see her. Anony-
nous letters to Mrs. Crittenden and to
the papers became her first mode of ven
geance and of attempted extortion.
Finding this unavailing, she armed her
self with pistol and deliberately shot
her former paramour in the public
streets. .itir. os ~
To sum up; First an indirect murder;
next family thrown into sorrow for
years; man otherwise of noble ma
ture wrenched as it were from the path
of duty and fortune squandered.
Then comes the second part: the disen-
chantment of the victim -estrangeme ent
