Exit Crooked wheat.

Thursday just before noon the schooner
City Of Green Bay came into the river
having ON board Deputy U. S. Marshal
Horn and Mr.. Kennedy, the agent of the
insurance companies Interested in the
wheat taken from the schooner Bridge
water last fall, and which was seized by
Deputy Horn about the middle of last
March. They had been on a tour, gath
ering the wheat at the different places
where it had been found and seized, and
when the schooner arrived at this place
they had it all safely aboard except the
amount stored here and ut Duncan City.
The vessel was unable to get up to Mel
son & Bullen's warehouse, where the
grain was stored, for want of a sufficient
depth of water, and tied up at Humphrey
& McAulay's dock and teams were en-
plOycd to draw the wheat to the vessel.
We understand that the suit i'm the u.
S. Court to decide the right Of the COM
panies to the wheat has not yet taken
place, but ns they have given bonds, the
claimants in this section will be fully
protected should the companies fail to
establish their claim to the grain.

The prospects are that hereafter this
well known and popular line of boats
will come into the river when going
either way. Last Tuesday the propeller
Maine, of this line, called in on her way
10 Chicago. and landed 60 barrels of oil
and some other freight for our merchants.
Captain Cramer said he had instructions
to come in and make a careful sounding
OF the channel, and make report to the
manager of the line of the true situation.
The Capt, on his trip up, had prepared q
correct diagram of the entrance to the
river. On this diagram he marked the
location of the piles and buoys showing
the entrance to our harbOr. LII accord
ance with the Instructions given he
sounded the depth of the channel
throughout, and in no place did he find
less than IL feet of water. The Maine
had not the least difficulty i'm coming in
or in going out, and the Capt. will
doubtless make favorable report; so
that we may confidently expect these
boats to make us regular visits, which
will be quite an advantage to our
village, and will be, we think, to the in
terest of the boats.

An Accommodating Fish.

Our river is noted for the number and
excellence of variety of its fish, and the
ample reward those who love the sport
of fishing receive for their trouble. 1t is
we'll known that there is no difficulty i'm
catching them readily by the usual de-
vices, but that they are so very accommo-
dating as to jump out of their native ele-
ment on to dry land to allow themselves
to be caught is something unusual.
Last Tuesday morning while some
men We're employed about the dam Of
Macarthur. Smith & Co., they were some
what surprised to see large pickerel, full
two feetin length, dart up out of the river
and land on the slab dock Immediately
below the dam. The fish was apparently
very much surprised to find itself out of
its usual element, and fioundered around
considerably, but could not regain the
river, and was easily captured by Mr..
VIM. Harrington, who, doubtless, fully
appreciated the accommodating DISPOSE
ton of-the fish in thus rendering its cap
ture so easy.
