FREAKS OF ALUSATIC.-The attention of
the police was called yesterday evening To
the strange conduct of a white man at the
King street wharf. He was climbing out ON
the bOwspTlts OF the vessels there rolling
paving stones up and down the payements
and engaging In other singular and danger
Gus antics. He was taken in charge and
carried TO the station house. where il was
ascertained that his name Is Theodore Bat
tsrsCn, ard that he is from COhOes, N. Y. He
were Masonic emblem was neatly dressed A.,
and mad about Si5 on his person. He seems
10 be a man OF refinement, aud has a gentle
II anly manner. He is evidently badly de-
ranged in his intellect. Mayor Kemper had
him sent TO jail for the present for want OF q
more suitable place of security. and will
endeavor TO find out some OF his relatives or
FRIENDS, in order that he may be turned over
to them.

pronounced broken fishery" The shad
fisheries on the Eastern shore have not paid
well this season. The fish are getting scarce
and fishermen are preparing 10 suspend oper-
ations. Those from the mouth of the Chop
tank to Cambridge have already done so.
THOSE MIsCHIEVOUS GILL NETS Steam
boat men and fishermen are making great
complaint against the use Of set and gill nets
on the Potomac river. They claim that navi-
CATION is prevented TO vessels OF light draft,
and further they prevent fish from coming
