y correspondent of the Baltimore SIN of
Wednesday gives an interesting account OF
the shad and herring fisheries in he Susque-
hanna river and about the head waters of
the bay. He says:
At this time three floats and one shore are
i'll operation above the railroad bridge at
Havre tie Grace, and five floats aud five or
SIN shores below the bridge. Spesutia Island
below Havre de Grace. is the chief shore,
where MessrS Littleton Green and j. NJ
Simmons carry on large operations. Be
sides SpeSutil there is Carpenters Point,
worked by q. Washington Barnes: Gran
berry, by Joseph II. Carver &Co.: The. shores
OF l!Sun brothers, taruthers, and some
smaller SENS, while higher up on IN island
near lapidum is the shore of Spencer Broth
ers Il Go. This shore, however, during an
extra high tide, is no shore at all. All the
land of the little island is under water. and
only the platforms on which the steam and
horse power windlasSes are worked, the
mess house floors and the bushes remain
above the tide in this state of Affairs the
Fishermen have to work above the knees in
water most of the day. The fishing floats
are operated above the bridge 10y George Il.

Fishing from floats is peculiar to the

are anchored by growsers in the stream,
where IN apron is let down until it reaches
the bottom, thus forming I'm artificial shore
on which the seine is hauled. Horses or

Portable quarters are provided for the fisher

The Lightning Rod Fraud.

We learn from the Otford Press tina
gang of swindlers, under the name of Z
North American Lightning Rod Compal ,
have been victimizing some Of the cltize
Of Chester county. Their plan of operate
is as follows: No. visits the farmer VIII
has new or unrodded old building and 10y
his palaver and agreement TO put up Il 70,
at Il very low figure, induces the owner tt
allow the work to be done. No. come:
along and does the work-putS up a yer.
poor rod, using as many feet OF it us posi-
BILE and three or four points. No ) thel
makes Il bill-including the agreed upor
price .tor l,utt;ng Il up and so much per foo
for the rod and each point. y dispute thel
arises, but the farmer sees he is caught ant
tries to get the best bargain he can by com
promise and gives a note for payment
This note is disposed of as soon as possibl.
to a third party and the farmer generally
has to pay it.

Of last week the demise, in Philadelphia,
on April 10th, of Mr.. Andrew Harris, 4
worthy son of Cecil county, after a linger-

and resignation.
In early manhood he removed to Phila-
delphi;,, Il field more congenial to his enter
prising, energetic mind. He embarked in
the manufacture of gas meters, which he
brought to IFS present perfection by his in
lectual ard Jealous attention. He intro
luced many most important Improvements
and obtained many patents that will be Il
standing memorial of his thorough knowl-
edge and mechanical skill! in that useful
AMI important branch of science. He was
a good employer, a kind husband, an indul-
gent father and n sincere friend: and in his
social circle, which was extensive, rs evil
.STenced by the large number of Borrowing
friends that accompanied his remains to
the grave, he has left Il vacancy that will
be difficult to fill. His wife and children
have our heartfelt sympathy in their affiic-
