 THE business of supplying New Orleans with fish from the fisheries of the Gulf of Mexico seems to be monopoly in the hands of a combination of fishermen, mostly Italians and Greeks, and they use force an arms to prevent other parties from engaging in these fisheries. There have been in the past many cases of the des'ruc- ton of vessels and tackle of competing fish ermen, and even murders and bloody en- counters have not been wanting to com plete the history Of the piratical coasters. Alexander Travisani has made affidavits before United States commissioner against these marauding fishermen, who attacked him in the gulf, near the mouth of the Mississippi river, and forced him to throw overheard his cargo of fish iRtended for this market. His complaint before United States Commissioner Quintin is to the effect that on or about Tuesday, July 19, 1881, when affiant was near Taylor pass, five miles below the mouth of the Mississippi river, in company with Jacob Zebelick. master of the lugger Atlas, and Petrovich, master of the lugger Fourth of July, and Joseph master of the lugger Flying Dutch man and within the admiralty and mara time jurisdiction of the United States, he was met and surprised by body of armed men, numbering about 30, of which Marco Grish, Steven I4ombardich, Darco Millon- vich, Leon Pradizza, Louis Ptuani and Elia Barberich were leaders, who maiici- ously attacked affiant, and the men accom- panying him, with the intent to despoil the said sffiant of the fish and merchant disc laden on board his lugger, and with violence and open force, ordered affiant and his men to throw overheard his cargo and that of his men, valued at $450, in violation of the statutes of the United States. None of the accused have been arrested so far.

AN epidemic disease of & peculiarly deadly nature, which carries off cattle and horses by the thousand, and claims also its human victims yearly among the population of the capital, has made its appearance in more than one district of the Province of St. Petersburg and Nov gorod, and is spreading with alarming rapidity. Horses, which, after land, are the most valued property of the peasants, are dying by the score, and many cases ofillness have occurred among the pop ulation of the infected villages. The local authorities are helpless, owing part. ly to the want of efficient doctors and veterinary surgeons, and partly to the fatalistic tendencies of the peasants, who trusting all to Providence, refuse precau- tion, and sell in the neighboring villages the skins of the beasts that have died oi the disease.
