But few vessels from Lubeo were sent u

has been SO uncertain in the past, both as &c
the catch and the sale of the herring, tha
many who had been largely interested in 1t
have become discouraged and abandoned the
business altogether. The few vessels fitted ou'
this year, however, have obtained full loads OF
herring, and the demand for them, both smok-
ed and picked, is brisk.

The Use of Stafe Street.

Mr.. EDITOR: Touching the question OF the
use made of the lower part of State street,
when open, one of the foremost merchants and
manufacturers of the city. and a prominent
member of the Board of Trade, mentioned on
Saturday that on one occasion, when driving up
the hill with friend, remark was made IN re-
gard to its steepness; upon which, turning
around, they saw seven vehicles OF dlfferent
sorts ascending the hill in company with them.
There are many of the streets now in use-in the
city that do not have one fifth part the traVe'
on them that the State street hill had before
the Boston & Maine railroad dug trackwaY
through it. The street is steep, but its loca-
ton is such as to throw large amount OF traV-
ell upon it when in a shape to use. 1t should De
at once repaired. VlArok'
