everyone intent on his line and anXiously
waiting for the first bite The nibbing of
the shark at the hook before he seizcs 1t is
called by the old watermen ringing the
bell, from the fact of its being IL signal for
all the rest of the party to get ready to take
in their lines, for when the shark is fastened
or hooked he Immediately rolls around on
his axis with such velocity that he wraps
around himself and tangles up every line
he comes in contact with. The shark
sometimes seizcs the bait before il reaches
the bottom. This, however, is rare. Gen
orally they nibble from five 20 twenty min
utes before they take hold. Frequently,
after very few minutes, the silence is bro
ken by one Of the party eXclaiming in an
undcrtone, as if afraid of driving off the
shark Here's one at my hook" when
every one Immediately prefers to take in
and every eye is fixed upon the person hay
ing the bite, and in few moments perhaps
you see tremendous jerk, Il scream by
some one and then for some time the most
intense excitement prevails. Everybody is
busy Those who have not the shark are
all drawing in their lines as fast as they
can in the midst of great nervous excite
ment. The person having hooked the
shark, however, has the battle to fight and
unless he he man of considerable muscle,
must often call in extra help.
As soon as the shark makes his long pull
YOU give the line sudden jerk 20 fastcn the
hook, then springing to your feet, the
fight begins, the shark pulling one way
and you the other, the boat meanwhile
rocking in every direction, hut soon the
shark gives way and is hauled to the sur
face of the water, but the sight of the boat
again for the bottom, and if very large
throws the water all over the boat, and if
the line is not slackencd, upscts boat, fish
ermen and all. But the latter does not of en-
happen. The line is Immediately Stacked
and rs soon as the shark stops the fisher
man again hauls him up, this time bringing
him quite near the boat, where some one
stands in eager expectation to deal the
blow which shall at least stun him, when
another dive for the bottom is made by the
shark Again he is drawn up and the dose
repeated until he is killed Shooting the
shark is not allowed, as but few persons
have sufficient nerve, under the intense OK
element, to shoot at the right time or place,
often shooting through the boat and endan-
gcring the rest of the party much more
than the shark.
After long experience and many expert
mcnts by the old fishermen here, n very
primitive and simple way of killing the
shark has been adopted and that is, when it
is drawn to the surface of the water it is
struck across the tip of the nose with club.
This is more cffectual than spearing, shoot
ing or any other mode of killing One
fact surprises every novice at the sport.
You kill the shark by striking it over the
nose; the blood, however, does not flow
from the nose, but drips from the tip end of
the tail i'm Of the dying shark.

Shark Fishing at CObb's Island.

Among the various summer resorts
sought out by those who go from home to
spend the heated term, tosportsn,en perhaps
the most attractive place is Cobb's Island,
Va And among all the sports here there
is none perhaps so attractive as shark
fishing.
The shark generally caught are either
the yellow OF blue shark, the white shark,
or man-eater, being rarely found in these
waters. The two former arc smaller
species than the white shark and rarely at
tain length of more than twelve feet.
The blue shark is more slender and ele-
gantly formed and the most beautiful in
color of the sharks, being fine slate blue
above and white below. The skin is gran
ulated and rough, hence often used as
sand paper.
Shark fishing, as every thing else here,
is controlled by the tides and lasts from
two to three hours each day. The time
having been fixed upon, by one of the
boatmen, the company of ladies and gentle
men, mot more than five usually) get into
small boat about twenty-five feet long,

and anchor, with depth of about sixteen
fathoms, or about 100 feet Of water. All Is

The boatman bats the hooks, putting on
each from one to two pounds of salt water
trout. The hook is from six to eight inches
long, TO WHICH h attached about four feet

the ordinary bed cord--is attached. Tho

DEPRESSION IN THE CorToN AND

DEPRESSION IN THE CoTToN AND
WOODEN TRADE.-A dispatch from
Providence, R. l., SAYS large meet
ing of manufacturers was held at the
Board of Trade rooms Friday Of last
week for the purpose Of conference
upon the subject of the depressed
state of the market for cotton and
wooden goods. Remarks were made
by several gentlemen, and it seemed
to be generally agreed that unless
the production of goods was dimin-
ished and enhancement of prices OBJ
tanned, it would soon be necessary
to stop the mills altogether to pre-
vent the impoverishment of their
owners. A committee was appointed
to confer with manufacturers gener
ally upon the subject and take such
action as they may deem expedient.
Subsequently the following resolution
was unanimously sdopted:
Resolved, AS the sense Of this
meeting that immediate curtallment
of the production of our cotton and
wooden mills is absolutely necessary
for the conservation of the interests
of our State and community.
At Springfield, Mass, the produc-
ton of cotton and WOODEN mills in
Berkshire county is to be cut down
twenty per cent. after October.

LINDEN, VA, SEPT. 81 1874.
We left Frostburg by the noon train on
Tuesday last Connecting in Cumberland
with the 2 P. NJ. train eastward, we had a
delightful ride of three hours to Harpcr's
Ferry, w. Va. The pleasure of the occa-
sion was enhanced by the society Of Mr..
John Ryan, of the firm of Ryan & Ricketts,
the well-known and popular type founders
of Baltimore. With regret, therefore, we
parted with him at Harper's Ferry.
This point we reached at 5 p. NJ, then
went through the usual ,tormula oftravelers
who stop here at this hour,i viz: looking
at the great iron railroad bridge over the
Potomac, eating supper and going away on
the first train. The place is marked all
over with mementos of events which have
made it historic and Which are too familiar
to our readers to repeat here.
We arrived in Winchester, Va, a short
time after, a city equally memorable in
history with Harpers Ferry, with, how
ever, better future before it. Nearly the
first gentleman we encountered was Mr..
NJ. B. Buck, of Front Royal, the largest
fruit grower in Virginia and proprietor of
the celebrated Belmont Vineyards of War
rem county, Va.
After night of sound rest We occupied
the time between breakfast and 100 y. NJ.
IN looking over the old place. Walking a
short distance We came square upon
Frostburger-Mr. Geo. W. Mccormick, II
former resident of Winchester Going to
the Times Office we became acquainted
with Mr. Hollis, of Hunter & Hollis, editors
and proprietors, and whom, we are glad TO
note, are doing prosperously, We also
visited Messrs. II enry & Kurtz, editors and
proprietors of the "Winchester Nees," who
are also doing good business. The papers
named are conducted by able and clever
gentlemen, and are evidently capable OF
taking care af the great public interests in
their charge
The Shenandoah Valley Agricultural
Fair had just closed after successful eXhi-
bitlon. The specimens of animal and veg
etable production are said to have been the
finest and most numerous ever shown here,
and do unusual credit to the people of the
great Valley.
The crops in this section will not reach
over an average, but improvements are
going forward at a,creditable rate.
Reaching Strasburg we boarded the cast
bound train on the Washington City, Mid
land and Great Southern Railroad, where
We were surprised and gratiticd to meet
Rev. DR., REGISTER In Il brief conversation
he expressed pleasant rccollections of his
summers sojourn last year in Frostburg,
and fervent desire to revisit the many
kind friends made among our hospitablc
people at that time. He asked to be re-
membered by them. Like all other yisito. 5
he eXtols the healthful location, magnificent
scenery, and novelties of the peculiar in
dustry which exists in and around Frost
burg. He is looking well, is full of vigor
and work, and was on his way to preside at
the Winchester District Conference held in
Front Royal this week
An hour later We were with friends at
home. C.w.o.

THE TEN-HouR LAW IN MAssA-
cHUsETTs.-As the new ten hour law
goes into effect in Massachusetts,
on the lst proximo, the manufacturers
of that State are making preparations
to comply with its provisions. The
cotton, wooden and thread manufactur-
ers will be chiefly affected, as the pa
per manufacturer, are running on
short time. The manufacturers, after
general conference, have adopted the
following time table: From 7 A. NJ.
to 1915 P. M, and from to 6 r. NJ.
on the first five days in each week, and
on Saturdays A. M. to 1915 P. NJ,
and from | to 4.3OP. NJ. The wages
to be paid under the new arrangement
will be in most cases proportionately
the same as paid for eleven hours la
Dor, in other words one eleventh small
er than formerly.
