Shad- Fishing in Florida.

A Florida correspondent says cone
lively feature of ST. Johns river is the
shad- fishing, which begins about the lst
of December and is over by the LIST OF
April or May. The shad. are caught in
nets, drifting with the tide. Some Of
these nets are of very great length,
spanning the river from shore to shore,
and if these fish are on their way ny the
river, some of them are pretty sure Of
having their gills entangled in the
meshes and it must be understood that
shad are caught only on one side Of the
net-the lower side-as the fish ascend
the river; rarely that Il straggler hap.
pens to take a whirl round and is caught
in the upper side Of the net. The two
great fishing centres on the st. Johns
are Mayport, near the mouth, and Yol-
low Bluff, about nine miles up the river,
Yellow Rlpf has by far the larger
amount Of business, shipping annually
about fifteen or twenty thousand dol
lars worth Of ahad TO Savannah, and
thence to northern ports. Let 1t not,
however, be supposed that it is an easy
matter to engage in this business, which
is profitable enough to the principals,
who hire men to catch the fish, and
pocket the biggest profits. At Yellow
Springs there are two of these shud-
kings, having their platforms, their
boats, their ice-houses, and their agents
in Savannah. Nevertheless, an expert
enced fisherman can some days make n
hundred or ever two hundred dollars !;
but the worst of all weather is precisely
the best for shad. iishil G. When the
wind howls furiously and the rain beats
down p%iteously is the time the shad are
taken in large numbers. Comes fair
weather, the nets will be seen on the
large reels or strung upon the racks,
and repairing goes on quietly and in
dustriously, in the midst of hosts of
sand flies, even though the month be
January or February, A net costs about
a hundred dollars, and a good Connec.
ticut built boat about rs much more. 1t
requires two mCn in a boat for shad-
tishlna-one to pay out or haul IN the
net, and the other to manage the boat.

might he captiyatcd with this occupa-

the piercing cold northwest wind drives

ming, and pouring rain render all nature

THE oHRIsTIAN ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL CHURCH
--ADDREssEs, LAST EvENINo-oFFIcEns FOR THE
ENSUING YEAR.
The Christian Association of Central Church
celebrated its 10th anniversary, last evening.
The exercises were held IN the audience room,
where gathered small but attentive audience
Prof. Fullmer, the church organist, presided at
the organ, and the vocal music was furnished
by the church choir.
After an opening voluntary, a solo and chorus
'Guide Me, o Thou Great Jehovah" was sung
by Mrs. DIR. Wales and the church choir, when
the divine blessing was invoked by Rev. A. Mac
Arthur. A selection from the Church Psalms
was then sung, and A. i. Wilnians read the an
nual report of the retiring President, e. X.
Crawford, who, though present, was somewhat
indisposed, and had invited Mr.. Wilmana to per-
form his duties for him.
The report was a review of the work of the
Association during the past year, and from it it
appears that the Association il almost entirely
free from debt, while large accessons to the
membership have been made from among the
ladies' of the church. The usual number Of
meetings had been held but with diminished
attendance Prayer meetings had also been held
as usual in Gilbert Chapel and in the lecture
room Of the church. The Sunday School at
Gilbert Chapel is in good condition, and that at
Rodney Chapel has eight classes and teachers,
the latter representing several Of the Presby-
terian churches of the city. The Library re-
mains I" in stdtu quo"
A selection from the church hymns was then
sung, when the President elect, Geo. Il Barrett
was invited to the presidency of the meeting,
who announced the committees for the ensuing
year and introduced Rev. Alsx. Macarthur.
This last named gentleman, first expressing his
pleasure at being present and his sympathy with
the work of the Association, read an essay which
he had prepared for the occasion on the "Char-
acteristics of John the Divine Another selec-
ton was sung, after which Rev. ]. p. Conkey,
pastor of the church. addressed the audience up
on the significance of the name of the Associa-
tion, explaining its objects, etc. The Corona
tion hymn was then sung, and after the bene.
dction by Rev. ]. p Conkey, the audience dis
persed.
The officers for the ensuing year are Presi-
dent, G. f. Barrett Vice President, s, b. Coun
Gill Secretary, L. P. Bush Jr.; Treasurer, A. f.
Willnans.
