Fish Some OF our sportsmen
should induce Genio Scott, the cele'
brated writer on the fish of America,
to come out here and spend few
DAYS in our neighborhnod. There
are some varieties of fish here which
we can hardly classify, that are real.
" nice table fish. There is one
called perch" which in shape and
color is entirely different from either
the white, black or yellow perch
which we have seen at ether points.
1t is thicker, longer, and its fins are
more OF a yellowish color, as well as
the skin. 1t is a very nice favored
fish, and the meat is solid, with few
bones. There is another fish in the
Ohio, which is caught good deal
here, called by some "Shiners" or
"Skip jacks" They do not belong to
either of these species; they are
caught of MANY sizes; say from 4
inches long to Is inches The small.
er ones reese nble a herring, and the
larger ones look very much like a
shad. They are very nice eating.
We have also some curious kinds
Of fish, one of which is kind of Cat
fish, with an elongation of the snout
to a length sometimes nearly as great
as that of the fish. fiat, thin anu some
what spoon shaped at the end. The
FISH Is sometimes called the spoon
bill Catfish" The fisherman have
been successful In taking the differ
ent varieties lately. One BOY took %
large perch, $50 called one day last
week.

GLASS WoREs-Some parties
from Bellair and other places have
been in town this week, prospecting
for a location for Glass Works.
They are practical men, and have
capital which they wish to invest.
There are many advantages hero,
which we will not now enumerate, but
one of the most important. Is differ
ence in favor of this point, of 81, 20 per
ton in the cost Of the raw material.
This with cheap coal, transportation
&c, gives Us a decided advantage
over Pittsburg, Wheeling and other
prominent Glass Manufacturing
points. The entire future of our city
Is dependent on manufactures, and
every efor, should be put forth to
induce a settlement here.

ful pieces of music entitled Don't

Father drinks no more. They are

CrOix; the music is simple, solo and
chorus, but is suited to popular tastes
and will no doubt command a large
sale amongst the temperance societies;
the melody is very pretty, and the
accompaniment graceful, and suited
TO either organ or piano.

PtCNIC.-PIof. Clark. Of Mar
shall College treated his scholars to a
Picnic in Ohio on Saturday. The
morning was rather lowering. and
;:here were several Slight sprinkles Of
rain, but ''no postponement on &C
count of the weather. was noted,
and the par Y full of pleasurable an
ticipations crossed the river at an
early hour. While the aesthetics
were the principal objects of the ex-
eursion, yet the substantials of life
we're not lost sight of, as was witness
ed by the bountifully stored hampers,
under the charge of the Quarter
Master General, Mr.. Carr, assisted by
several deputies. On their arrival
at the shady grove, which Was the
scene of the days pleasure, the par
ty were soon scattered in groups of
twos and threes, and the various
sources of amusement were made
good use Of. The mid day rejection
was a success and hugely enjoyed by
all present. The faces of the party
were turned homeward at an early
hour, where they arrived tired, but
refreshed by "a day in the woods"
1t would be well if these little ex
cursions were more often INDUCED
in 4; in them instruction may be blen-
ded with amusement, labor may be
lightened, health promoted. love OF
nature and her wonders fostered,
and that practical education promo
ted which is 50 important a part
Of the instructors duty to bestow upon
his scholars.

MArRMoNY. The wise man says,
"whoso findeth a wife, findeth a good
thing" A number of the young men
of Huntington seem to have made up
their minds to know whether that is
so or not. Two of them got married
ON last Tuesday evening, and several
Others were reported to have done so,
but the report was rather premature.
In one case, the young man who was
reported to have been married was
sitting in his room, when, all OF a
sudden, he heard crash, loud enough
almost, to raise the dead, He jump
ed up, and exclaimed, "W-w-what's
that! Is it thunder or gun'sT 1t
was The Calathumpians serenadlng

SINKING or THE NEW CASTLE. "
The Ferry Boat New Castle plying
between Huntington and the mouth
OF Svmmes Greek, was the victim OF
an accident on Saturday which might
have been attended with 4 serious
loss of lie.
The boat had been running nearly
all day making her regular trips,
when towards evening, as she was
crossing TO the Ohio side, about six
o'clock, she sprung leak near the
middle ofthe river. The leak was
discovered and the men on her tried
by putting on all steam, to reach the
shore, but she sunk just as She.rcached
the bank The water was not very
deep and she was raised on Sunday
morning.
Ii was not known what caused the
leak, but Iaany thought it was by
striking a log.
On the last trip to this side, the
boat had brought over the members
of Prof. Clark's school who had been
on picnic in Ohio, consisting of
about 80 or 30 persons. If she had
gone down with them on board even
near shore, it might have been our
sad duty to record the loss of valua-
bic lives, but a good Providence was
watching over the party, and preser-
we'd them from danger. We hope
the owners of the boat, will see to it
that she is put in good order. We
have thought for some time that she
needed attention.
