PIcKEREL FISHING. - Winter fishing,

kennebec county, is growing in Importance
every season. Hundreds of pounds of pick

General Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, is
mentioned as the most diligent and success

lent habit of putting his best ability and en-
erRy into the smallest ~ we'll as the largest

among his professional associates taste for

1t appears that the people of ST. John are
indignant because the British government
had admitted our right to indemnify for the
Fortune Bay outrage. 1t would be more
proper for the Observation-Disclosures to be indig-

any claim necessary. When the fishery ques-
ton comes up again for general settlement,
they will find. no doubt, that England, pur-
suing the same course. will consult her own

Orr New POLICE CoURr.-For long time
we have been painfully aware that the quar-
tiers where Judge True has dispensed justice
in all sizes and quantities to meet the re.
quirements of customers, were too restricted
and unpretentious. A large amount of bust
ness is transacted at the Augusta police court,
and his Honor deserves first-rate apartment.
This he has at length secured. On Friday
last his law library, stove, waste basket, case
of pigeon holes, copy of the Revised Statutes,
seven chairs in all stages of decrepitude, and
other personal effects, were transported into
large and airy room, with two windows
looking out on Water street, in the same
building. The real estate on the floor of the
old Office was left behind. City Marshal
White is to have his headquarters at the
municipal court, and the door will soon be
ornamented with Gothic letters:
