Benefit TO MIR. Dan. n. Townsend, the
Veteran Actor, next Thursday
Evening,

The amusement-loving portion Of
the Dallas public will have an oppor-
tunity, next Thursday evening of wit.
Messing an admirable amateur per-
formance--combining comedy, melo-
drama, music and recitatlons-by la
dies and gentlemen of the city. The
interest of the occasion will be height
ened by the remembrance that the ell
tertainment will he given for the bene-
fit of Mr.. Dan. Il. Townsend, an emil
nently worthy representative of the
old school of dramatic art, who has,

duced to Strengthened circumstances.
1t is to be hoped that he will receive
such countenance from this commune
ty rs his merits warrant. An old sol
dier-having borne arms both in
Mexico and for the Confeleracy
surely will not appeal in vain to this
people.

How Goldfish are Gnught.

In codfishing the bait consists of ''por-
gies," which are taken Off the coast of
Maine, from whence the schooner pro.
cceds directly to the fishing grounds
The crew on hoard the fishing schooner
numbers eleven men, each man beng
provided with separate stock of lines,
tackle, etc, ard with tub placed on
deck close to the position he is appoint.
ed to during the fishing. An ordinary
line is six iathoms long; five or six Of
these when fastened together make Il
cod line; at the further extremity n
piece Of lead is attached, in weight seven
pounds, to this the gear" is fastened
1t consists Of rod of wood foot long,
having swivel at its further end, hold
ing at one of its angles Il triangular
frame OF iron; ut the other angles of
TINS frame are fastened small lengths of
line, to which are attached by means of
the "patent'-a strip of bone with slit
through it in shape like the key.hole of
a door--the lines with hooks, each of
these lines having two hooks whose
barbs are sharpened to II point almos,
like that Of u needle.
, 1876-12-09

Thus it is seen that "amplc accom-
modations' IA seaside phrase are pro.
vided by each cod line for the reception
Of four guests. A single porgie sup.
plies balt for four hooks. Upon the
drawing of the lines from the water,
which process is facilitated by a pair of
"nippers" on the hands, the fish with
the short hook lines are removed, and
another set Of hooks, previously 5aitcd,
is substituted while :he line is gong
ont the cod just caught are taken from
the hooks and their tongues removed; {;
they are then thrown into the curry
pCns"-large pens built on dcck--whcre
they remain until the days fishing is
concluded, unless the weather demands
immediate dressing
In this process the division of labor is
carried out. one man combining his atteG-
tion to n part Of the work only. The
fish is first slit open at the hand of A,
who also cuts its head Off B the dresses
it and removes its liver, which is care
fully preserved for medical purposes
the fish Is then passe over to G, who
splits it open and takes out the back
bone, after which it is thrown into II tub
OF water, and thence slowed away in the
hold where it Is packed in salt. The
term "high line' denotes the largest
number Of fish caught, and the lucky
man Is not necessarily the one who has
the most "Check,' but the most tongue"
as each mans catch is estimated by the
fish tongues, which being cut out, as
alluded to, and put beneath canvas, in
the tub, are carried to the skipper for
record when each days work is con.
cluded. In similar manner halibut are
identified by private mark made by
the fisherman on the head or tail of the
fish. On arriving at port there is prob
ably agreater display of "picked-up cod
fish" than ever the most ardent lover OF
this food would desire to see at one
time, for the ish are removed by means
of long forks from the hold of the vessel
and pitched on the wharf. - Cor. PROF.
