NoRTHFIELD. George NJ. Fisk has lost his
splendid trout that he took so much pride in ex-
hibting. They were truly nice, beautiful fellows,
weighing from pound to a pound and half
each There were about thirty Of them and all
were found dead, except one small one. Mr. Fisk
ascribes his loss to oyerfeeding, as post norton
examination Of one revealed an apparent suriet
OF liver with which they were fed. He says he
would not have taken $50 for them. -. Rather
poorly attended was the musical entertainment
given at the Methodist vestry, Thursday evening
OF last week. 1t deserved better patronage than
it received, as the "drum solo by Master Hunt
ley and the " Revolutionary Tea " by Miss KIM
ball were well worth the admission fee leaving
the balance of the varied performances to be set
to the profit side Of the audience =. The new
house of Mr. Chase or Prospect street is being
pushed forward with energy.
