THE HAvRE DE GRACE FIsHERIEs.--A Hayre
lie Grace correspondent of the Baltimore Herald
says: a
Few persons have any idea of the Importance
Of the fishing business at this little place.
There are eighteen shores and floats in operation
sixty thousand dollars capital employed and one
thousand men engaged In the catching and cur !,
ing of shad and herring. The average yearly re-
turns are about 100000 of the former and 5000
barrels of the latter In addition to this about
70, 900 shad are annually caught by "gillers"
The "coal crackers" in the employ of j.
Hilles ~ Co. struck the early part of the week
for higher wages, but have finally resumed work
at the old prices. Fkffji
FRUIT AND Crops IN DUBLIN Squire Robert
D. Orr, of Prospect, reports that very few of the
peach trees in that section are putting out bios
SONS, the buds having been killed by the severe
cod Of lat winter. In his orchard only two
trecs--aid those old Ones-show any jossoms.
Apple cherry and pear fiees, however, are in
fu bo.m, aud The prospect of large crop of
these fruits j. almost certain.
EARLY .sowed wheat looks well In Dublin dis
trct, but that sowed tcwiil not produce half
n crop.
Four or five new canning houses arc about to
he established in the Prospect neighbolhood.
