n FISH EXCITEMENT AT LEwEs.-On Sun
day the Sth inst. singular occurrence excited
the people of LeweS, and caused them to leave
their cottages by the sea and even their
churches and go into the fishing business.
Such school of fish was never seen on the
beach as appeared there that morning, be-
tween ten and eleven O'Clock They were SO
thcky crowded as to be unable to swim, and
the breakers tossed them high and dry on the
beach in countless numbers. The Bredktcate,
Light says
There were for many miles along the beach
several hundred of men, women and children,
who stood in utter amaZement watching the
millions of fish that were being piled and
heaped in countless thousands on our shore
Nets, baskets, rakes. and every other article
available were used for heaping and pine
these fish on the beach. Carts and wagons
were brought into service, and many thousand
bushels were hauled away to be cleaned and
salted for use, while thousands lay on the
beach to spoil. In all probability there were
cleaned and salted in this town over 81, OOC
and il there ever was a Con SEND to any peO
| pie, these fish were to us. A. to their name
or origin, there is but little known here They
appear to be a mongrel, between a Shad AND
herring, and in all probability they are what
| Boston fishermen call Mos>banker>,' or wha
| a Connecticut man woul call Alenhadens >
1t is stated that when the congregations il
the different churches heard of the wonder
they commenced to break up and ever,
body was on the beach in a short time. 1t +
further stated that the fish were frightened
ashore by school of blue fish that were af,e
them. A correspondent thus writes to th
Ere,y EceniRQ about tAem:
so thick were they that wagons were drive,
into the water and loaded and then driven off
Thousands upon thousands of bushels wer
thus captured, and those not used upon tn
table were immediatele salted down or sold 4
the farmers at Is cents bushel for fertilizinI
purposes. The school remained in the ba,
until Monday night when the fish that wer
not captured by the people, or killed by th
i blue fish, left.'

bly, considered by some of the capitalists of
London, cut the following extract from the
official statement:
1T lessons the distance by water cOmmunca-
tion from Baltimore to all the Northern and
Eastern and European ports about two hundred
and twenty-five miles, besides avoiding the
dangers OF navigation around Cape Charles,
thereby ches pening transportation of freight
and the saving OF insurance as, for instance
lduring tho last year there were shipped from
baltimore over 100000 tons of coal, the
freight on which by sea to New York, was
81. Is per ton, and 81 by rail. BY this canal
coal could be transported for $l.25 per ton,
and in the same space Of time. The same
remarks are equally applicable to iron, lumber,
| lime, tobacco and flour, which constitute exten.
Esive Shipments and allother freights. The fruit
growers of the State of Delaware paid during
the year 1872 the sum of S450,O0O for freight
on peaches, and the farmers ON the Eastern
Shore Of Maryland paid very large amount for
freight on their produce. These are now car
| Tied by rail. Petroleum in vast quantities
would be carried through this route. TIE
traffic between Baltimore and Philadelphia is
large. The receipts of the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal, a small canal running between
| these Cities during the year ending in 1870,
according to the last report published, amount
edto $4I4, 202. 95, and the whole expenses in
Cured during the same period were S 80, 500. %
netting $2T5, 342 &C. There is no reason why the
Maryland and Delaware Ship Canal Company
should not take, if not all, at least a greater
part of this trade, as the transportation through
it would be quicker and cheaper, and entirely
free from the detention incident to horse. power
and the use Of locks. 1t now takes sixteen
hours to pass through that canal from bay to
bay, while it would hardly take more than five
hours at the utmost to pass through the cana
in question The amount of receipts and ex
penses of the Chesapeake and Delaware Cana
is taken from Poor's Manual of the Railroads
of the United States Up. 4O3), where the nature
of the merchandise shipped is set forth il
detail. 1t is of great variety. Lumber, tim
ber, lime, grain, flour, oysters, stand out promi
nently in the list of freights. These would b,
greatly increased, by a more rapid transporta
ton. The Maryland charter Of this horse cana
forblds its becoming ship canal, but it woul,
be entirely impracticabIe if the compan,
possessed the power to enlarge it.
