THE FISHERIES There have been but few
arrivals OF the Bay or Shore fleets the present
week. Mackerel still continue very scarce, and
the fares brought in are quite light. The mack
erel on inns shore are working up this way, and
on Monday there was quite a large fleet of fish
ermen off Ipswich Bay, trying their luck but
meeting with poor success. AT present the
market is bare of mackcrel, the fares being
bought up as soon as they arrive. The catch
will not be more than half rs large as it was
last season, and the supply at present is not
equal to the demand. Notwithstanding the
scarcity prices rule low, but they will take an
upward tendency next month"; The market for
Georges Goldfish has been quite active the past
fortnight, and large quantities are daily ship
ped to the West by railroad and steamer

Reported Sinking Of County in Florida.

Vague accounts are given of an as
tonishing phenomenon at Apoka, Orange
County, near PalatlIa. The whole county
was lost sight of in one night, and its site
covered by great lake. Fora little time
before it disappeared, the ground became
DOGGY and very dangerous to travel over.
Fearful sounds were heard, and the trees
began to moye,-their tops taking eyra-
tory motion, and afterwards gradually
sinking ont of sight, the tops revolving
more and more rapidly until they disap-
peared. Then the whole earth, as far as
the eye could see, began to sink. and its
place was supplied by sea of water,
rushing, seethng boiling and constantly
casting to the surface the roots, tops, or
bodies Of mighty pines and oaks Poo
pie rushed from the scene OF disaster,
many believing the day Of Judgment had
come. 1t is rumored that Orlando Coun-
ty is also swallowed up, and the whole
chain at lakes to Lake Conway are now
united and form an immense inland sea.

1t is, beyond all question, the best implement for
digging potatoes offered to the farmers of this

The attention Of Farmers is solicited to this New
Implement for Digging Potatoes, by means OF which
TINS important crop can be secured much quicker and
easier than by any other method. All farmers know
that potato digging with the handhoe is hard back
aching work; the slowest and most disagreeable of
all farm labor. When potatoes are plowed out, they
are scattered and many lost the work of picking
up is tedious and slow; none of the horse potato
dggers work wen if the ground is stony and woody.
