A SHOWER OF FISH.
The Incredible Story a Canadian
School Teacher Tells.

i EEOnn AOEOnJo dAODe.
A confirmation of the strange re-
port that shower Of fab had falleu
on the fourth concession Of Harwich
Township, is given by a school
teacher OF the neighborhood, who,
in letter to the London Free Press
testifes to what he saw, as fol-
lows:
Having dismissed the children
for the day, 1 was returning to my
boarding place. when, with a side
glance, 1 discovered something in
the grass. At first | thought it was
some species of rattlesnake, but
upon more careful scrutiny [ found
it was a fine, firm, fresh fish of the
pickerel species. Having been
brought up at the seashore, knew
at once the fish was good and pick
ed it up, while wondering whence it
came.
My astonishment was increased,
however, when, stepping on a few
yards further, I found another equal
ly as good. A few steps further,
and one more, and then [ thought l
ought to return to the school-room
for some paper in which to wrap
them. On entering the room l
seized (rather thoughtIess you viii
say)one of the pals and proceeded
collect fish. When bad more than
half filled the pail. saw a man in
the distance carrying some fish, and
supposing the mystery was about to
be solved, l awaited his approach.
1 dropped the pail and felt somewhat
guilty for having appropriated the
fish, till relieved by his assuring me
that he had gathered up, also, those
he had in the same way, and that
he had just been culling the largest
of them.
He observed, "Thess are as good
and fresh as money could buy"
filed the pail, not only to the brim,
but up the whole height Of the ham
die, aRd having deposited my bur-
den, naturally, in the farmhouse
where board, returaed to collect
the remainder. When / had fins
ishsd nay task, L assure you that L
felt fatigued, The work had occu-
pied half an hour. This fall of fsh
extended about three-quarters Of
mile. On the same evening one of
the maids was sent for the COWS to
a field about half a mile from my
boarding place. She also returned
with fish that she had picked up in a
similar way. This girl reported
that she had left others behind her
which she could not conveniently
carry to the house.
The lady, with her maids, prepar-
ed the fish the same evening for
drying and smoking, and they were
subjected to this process next day.
The circumstance, you will admit, is
unique, apart from its strange sur
roundings. and 1 can not but think
the correanondent of tho ROndean
Neo0s did not err much in reporting
it. AS to whether these now fa-
nous fishes fell six feet or 5000,
know not. One thing know, that
they were scattered for a distance
of about three-quarters Of a mile.
and that at least, to my knowledge,
three persons gathered them.

her son beware,
For her faithful heart foresaw in the cup hidden

And again her tons Of sanity love, that thrilled
with accents mild,
with clarion power rang out that night, to guard
her erring etLd.
Haste, hAste, for serpent turks

with deadly coil as the one that winds
His victim, fold on fold ~
But her son still sat in the hall Of mirth. while
sport and jest were high;
For what cared he for pleading words, or her bit

The shriH night wind went zhrietins past, and the
naockers laughed with joy,
As they pledged in the wine-cup's ruby red,
''Ths widows darling boyl"
And they said, "Heres warmth, and life, and
cheer; and the chains her fancy sees,
Are but links Of Aowers-are daisy chains Wen

They shouted IN glee, until there

Then over the form OF the old man, whom they had

with right hands raised, in sight of death, they
pledged, with one accord,
To taste more of the flowing bowl "look on

Lest they should fill unhonOred graves, or lie as

Although irrigation has been practised in this
country in primitive sort of way for hun
dreds of years, the cultivation of the staff of
life of the aborigines being impossible, except
in favored localities, without it, it is only
lately that there has been any attention given
to the work of utilizing our numerous noun
tain torrents in the cultivation Of sugar and
rice, by diverting them from their wasteful
plunge into the briny waste of waters, to the
dry and parched, but fertile plains which
skirt so many parts of the islands. As it
appears that the best cane lands are not those
where the rainfall is the greatest, and where
vegetation is the most rank and luxuriant, but
rather those leeward areas where the heat of
the sun is most fervid, and which present to
the eye, for the greater part of the year, a
scene of verdureless desolation, we are forced
to the conclusion that the approaching rapid
increase of agricultural industry in this corn-
try will be largely dependent on irrigation,
and that before long every available stream
will be tapped and made to furnish it
quota of water. 1t therefore behooves the
Government to initiate some practical irriga-
tion system for the Kingdom before mulpli-
city of interests shall render such thing
difficult and complicated.

THE late fire has shown the necessity of
more substantial buildings in the business
portion of the city. Had it not been for the
fre-proof stole of Mr.. C. E. Williams, the fire
might have spread rapidly to the sea. But
fortunately this, the only building in contact
with the frame structure destroyed, confined
the fire to very narrow limits. If a brick
building is erected in pla, of the me destroy
ed, it will not only improve the appearance OF
the vicinity but afford greater security. With
the increase of capital, and reduction of the rate
of interest, there can be no good reason why
other frame buildings, now occupied as stores,
and containing stocks valued at from ten to
twenty-thousand dollars, should not be replac-
ed with brick or stone structures. The rate
of interest for money loaned on such security
ought not to exceed seven or eight per cent, if
for term of several years.

THE Banco decision which we publish in
to-day's issue in the case of Brunz VS. the
Minister of the Interior, establishes an i'm
portant rule for the issuing of Royal Patents
confirming Land Commission Awards, which
cannot but be of great utility hereafter to hold
ers of portions of such awards as well as to
the government.
The case was brought to ascertain whether
or not the Minister could refuse to issue a
Patent to the holder of portion of an award
which had been originally granted by sur
veyed boundaries. The law states that he
shall issue Patent to "any holder of an
award" The defendants counsel argued
that these words gave no authority to give a
patent to any holder of a portion only of an
award. The court held that such Patent
could not be refused, that every such land
owner was entitled to perfect title whenever
he was ready to pay the government commu-
tation, and added 4 statement of the require
ments as to description of boundaries to be
observed in future application therefor, which
seems to US necessary restriction. This de-
cision is especially important at the present
time-the beginning of an era of increased
activity in real estate dealings.

AN article on our fourth page on the subject
of adcertisiRg, will repay perusal. We hear
complaints occasionally of dull times, but
they are chiefly from those who do not adver-
tise freely and continuously. The man who
lets the public know what wares he has and
what he has that is new, seldom has occasion
to speak of dull times. As the article refer
red to says: advertisements, 10 produce the
greatest return, ''should be continuous. Any
idea of disseminating them for period. how
ever brief, with the view of saving, is as we
have seen, mistake which leads only to
disappointment and loss. 1t involves not
only the loss of the time during which the
advertisement ceases to appear, but the
additional loss of the time required to bring
the public interest up the point at which it
left off. The proverh, "out of sight out of
mind, is nowhere moro applicable than in the
case of an advertisement"
