"A. J. Scarborough, one Of the fish ward
ems, of this city, is busily engaged in catching
black bass tor the Fish Commissioner, who
sends them to California, Australia, Europe,

ing placed in each can. Three cans bave been
sent away during the last week. They are
caught with hook and line, grubs, wasps
and common worms being used for bait.
Quite an excitement was raised at the
corner OF Union and Church SITS, on Saturday
afternoon, caused by the upsetting of truck
WAGON belonging to Hoff & Burroughs Mr.,
Burreughs, wisa was driving at the time, at
tempted to turn hse horse and wagon and
furned ra4her to short The consequence was
that Aaie wagon was upset completely and
potatoes, egg plants Sc, had q fall.
We cannot conceive Of anything issore ag-
gravating to q Eh6ir-,staiaa after having Gnr
ished singing iym or chant. ia which they
Haye done credit to themselves, one of the
keys becomes fast, sharp for instance, and
Alike a miniature locomotive whistle continues
Its noise untar all the wind in the bellows is
exhausted IL there is anything calculated
to make the Rector feel nerrous--it Is this,
and yet it is amusing to see the members OF
the choir trying to help the organist put
stop to the noise, which, like crying child
before company--will not stop until it is
through with its cry, no matter how much
you thump ON It and pinch it, and look mad
and shake your head. BY this time the con-
gregation is interested-and they turn their
heads and look up, the members of the choir
dodge back or down behind the front of the
gallery as if it was their fault.
1.-The Canning Establishment of J. 81.
Butterfoss, in this city, has been in full ope-
ration during the season, and gives employ
ment to 100 persons at from on cents 10 pS.oo
per day. Up to the present time, about 100
600 cans of corn, peaches, tomatoes, etc. nave
been put up, and the work is still going on
The dry weather has affected the tomatoe
business very materially, there being scarcely
over half crop On Monday, Mr.. B., ship
ped to one party in Boston, Mass, $2,40O
worth of peaches. Some people are disposed
to view this establishment as nuisance, on
account of the bad oior which comes from
it. But when we take into consideration the
amount of work done there, and the number
of hands employed, it should have some
weight in regard to the matter. From what
we can understand the trouble rests with on
ly few parties, who, because Mr.. B. refused
to assist them in making drain through
their property have created a little dis
turbance, and declare the whole thing nuis-
ance. We do not want to drive business away
