years past sufferer from painful
physical infrmity, and the past year
or more, confirmed invalid, requir-

pathway to the grave was smoothed
and frightened, as far as possible,
by the loving ministrations of rele-
tives and offices of the many friends
who esteemed her, as pioneer resi-
dent of the Territory, no less than
for her high moral worth. Mrs.

WHrrEBAIT.--Un the head Of
GA Strange Discovery" the New
York San says that year ago a ru-
NOR spread amorg fishermen that
whitebait had been caught in New
York Bay. 1t had been supposed
that this delicate fish was found ex-
clusively in English waters. It is
from three to six inches long, ac-
cording to age. The back is pale
ashy green, and the sides and belly
are pure, unspotted silver. The
scales are very small, soft and thin.
1t has teeth on its palate and bones
in its tongue. Englishmen think it
a great delicacy. The fish ascend
the Thames and spawn in the spring.
They are caught in April at every
flood tide, and continue in the mar
ket until September. Whitebait
dinners at Greenwich have been
made famous by Dickens and other
writer's, and very few strangers
leave London in the season without
trying them. A grand ministerial
whitehall dinner is given at Rich
mond every year just before the ad-
journment of Parliament. This fish
is as common in the waters of Puget
Sound as the sl0elt, aud at this sea-
eon they may be purchased at every
d in Seattle by the bushel.
