HAvRE DE GRACE AFFAIRs.-The RepuJ-
Ncan of the Sth says:
Mr.. VIM. r. Young is shipping per
rail to various towns in Pennsylvania, on an
average, 5000 shad per day.
The Hartford House is being improved
by the replacement of the old comb roof with
a handsome mansard, which, practically, adds
one more story to the house
-Mcssrs. Lyttleton Green & Co., at the
Sandy Beach fishery, have been making large
hauls during the last day or two, bringing in
from two to three hundred barrels of herring
at time.
Our worthy townsman Mr.. Taylor Lyon,
keeps fine stock ofpure bred black Cochin
chickens, the hens lay almost continuously
throughout the year, and very large eggs.
We were shown one of these eggs few days
ago, which weighed five ounces. We consid-
er this pretty hard to beat.
We are now in the midst of the fishing
season. Owing to the cold weather and high
river the season opened very unfavorably, and
but few of our fishers paid expenses until
within the past few days. The run of shad
and herring is now very good, and our fish
crmen are reaping their harvest. Notwith-
standing the poor opening, the season will
prove Il successful one The shad are very
fine and fat. They are selling from $40 to
$50 per hundred, and retailing at from 35 to
40 nents per pair.

\ CHASE AND CAPTURE.-On Monday
Deputy Sheriff Carnes had quite a lively
time in arresting Il negro named John Rice,
who is charged with stealing a saw from
Charity Wades of Bel Air. The Deputy
overlook Rice on the road near IIopcwell-
lie denied his identity, but while Mr. Cairnes
was fastening his horse the negro left in a
hurry in the direction of II marsh. The Depu-
~ followed and overtaking him in he marsh
II hand TO hand struggle took place. The
Deputy being unarmcd and the negro power
ful and determined, the fight lasted for n CON
siderable time, until at last a compromise
was elected, the negro desiring to submit
the question of identity to his employer, Col.
VIM. Il. Stephenson, whose house was not far
OIL. When they arrived there the Col. was
not at home, and Mr.. Cairnes summoned two
men, at work upon the place, to aid in the
arrest. Rice again made off, and the Deputy
having in the meantime gotten possession of
rusty old gun, pointed it at him and COM
mandcl him to halt. He did not obey the
order, knowing, perhaps, that the gun was
unlOadcd, when the Sheriff made chase again,
and ovcrtaking him another struggle took
place between them, the posse comitatus be-
ing too far in the rear and too slow to rem
der any assistance. The negro at Ia. hid in
