THE MEXICAN BORDER.
ACCOUNTS OF THE FIGHTING AT Ell
PAsO.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA special from
San Antonia, Texas, says:-The follow
ing IL an extract from a private letter
from FL Paso under date Of December
19:-"The rangers fought nobly until
Tuesday, when they were sent word that
If they would surrender and Howard
leave the country they would hot hurt
him. Lieut.. Tays went with Howard
to the Mexican quarters, and while ne
gotiating with them, thinking all was
right, dozen men picked up Howard in
their arms and carried him away. While
this was going on John Atkinson, man
who had been with the rangers, who had
also been treating with the Mexieans,
came and told the rangers to surrender
by order of Lieutenant Tays, which they
did. They were then disarmed. 1t
turned out afterwards that the alleged
order to surrender from Lieutenant Tays
was lie.
"Atkinson, Howard and Mcbride were
put in front of their graves, and nine
shots were fired at them. Howard stood
perfectly defiant, with his bands in his
pockets. Just before Lieutenant Tays
went to treat with the Mexlcans they sent
him word that his quarters were under
mined and would be blown up.
Gas Howard left the quarters to treat
with the Mexicans, he said, 'Good bye,
boys After the shots were fired How
ard was not quite dead, and an old
Mexican ran his sword through Howard's
body, which afterwards was literally cut
to pieces. The Mexicans threw the
bodies into holes and covered them with

FISHERIES AND OYSTER BEDS.

FISHERIES AND OYSTER BEDS.
The wasteful depletion of the English
fishing grounds aud oyster fields has
brought Parliament to the rescue, and
severe preventive legislation has been
adopted 10 avoid further destruction. 1t
is said that such has been the havoc Of
fish and shell fish on the Englis coasts
ana rivers, that the scarcity has caused
an advance of 80 per cent. and more In
price, This has become serious ques-
ton for the poor, who depend in part on
fish for their nutriment, and who, in
England especially, are always in straits
in tie best times for the means OF subsis-
tence. In France reckless fishing had
well-nigh ruined the oyster beds, but
the government established Others, which
were rendered so prolific that, in 1901
| five million young oysters were obtained
and in 167A-75 upwards of forty mil
| lion were gathered. These oysters are
mainly intended for the use Of cultiva-
| tors as brood oysters aud for transplant
tation, 1t is stated that the result OF
| oyster culture in France are seen in the
yield of the private parks. which In 1911
| ~, was over ten million of oysters, and,
four years afterwards, 7,4i3 acres having
been donated to private parks, the pros
duce had increased to 1876, 1885,, , ,45O oysters
representing value OF $2,O5O, 500
Scientific culture, in short, Is said to
have rendered France altogether inde>
pendent of forcing countries for her sup>
ply of oyters. In view Of the immense
productiveness of fish Of all kinds, it
was wonderful that even the insatiate
capacity OF fishers should suffice to dimin
ish, in any appreciabie degree, their
numbers, Yet such has been the case
abroad, and there would be dauger Of a
like calamity, from the same cause, upon
our own rivers and coasts were not con-
slant vigilance employed to prevent il.
