FISH DYING BY THOUSAEDS.-A deadly and
mysterious disease has stricken the fish in the
Passalc river, New jersey within the past two
days. and from the Broadway Bridge. at Pater-
son, all the way down to Dundee Lake the
shores are lined with the dead and dying fish,
while thousands more float On the surface of
the river. or, IL not yet too far gone, lie on the
bottom, often in plain sight, where the water
Is clear. On Sunday and yesterday pleasure
seekers were driven not only from the lake but
from that vicinity by the offensive odor There
Is much diversion OF opinion as to the cause OF
this sudden mortality, and 1t is suggested that
some new and unusually poisonous dyestuffs
may have been introduced at some one of the
various silk dyeiDg works along the river SIDE
Others attribute 1t to the Newark Celluloid
Works, which make use OF some very curious
trouble occurred. Another theory is that moth.
ing new has been added to the water OF q
poisonous nature, but that there are certain
poisonous qualities in the river, received from
these various works, which are especially dead
ly at the spawning season.-[N. Y. Herald, 2Ith.

ones sensations In descending 1872 feet do not
differ essentially from those which one has In
jumping 10 feet. He thinks that he must have
gone down about ii feet into the water when he
encountered an undercurrent which caught him
and threw him fiat on his back. He felt as
though he was being drawn quickly on a rough

see the bridge through the water. He threw
up his hands, padded little, and instantly

THE PRINCESS AND THE COLoNEL.-A dispatch
from Montreal, May 26, says:-After returning
from church Yesterday the Princess Louise in
vited Colohel Austen, his wife and daughter to
her private parlor, where they were most gra-
clously received. The visit OF the 18th regiment
was alluded to by the Princess, who congratu-
lated the Colonel upon the visit, saying that she
and the governor-generalh had been very much
pleased. She was sure IL would only tend TO
promote closer national feeling. Her majesty
them by having so many noble Americans cele-
Drating the Queens birthday, and sincerely
hoped the 18th was only the forerunner OF many
American regiments who would visit Canada In
succeeding years. Colonel austen thanked the
Princess for the honor done him and the reg1-
ment. The governor general expressed warm
feelings OF coed will to Mrs. and Miss Austen
and spoke repeatedly OF the good that would
unquestionably arise out Of this warlike ex-
change OF social fellowship.
