It seems by the story that Jameson was board CT at MT. Lynoh's, and during the melee the women folks put him out, and to retaliate he commenced to pull down the fence but they made him desist from that and he went of up the street from the premises. Lynch fol- lowed him with club and knocked him down and gave him severe beating, and then went down to Deputy Sheriff Peck's residence and had the man arrested. about midnight and he was put in the cooler under Thompson's block. Next morning Jameson had Lynch arrested for assault, and both had their trial before Justice Booth.

Shad Fishing.

The shad fishermen along the banks of the Connecticut have had no luck to speak of so far this season but at the mouth of the river, where the ''pounds" are located the catch has been remarkably large. This would indicate that the shad have had an unusually hard time in running the gauntlet of the traps at Saybrook. The fishermen up this way can no longer boast of their big hauls They have now to be content with dozen or two where they used to catch hundreds Smith & Hale who have a fish place just below the city on the Glas- tonbury side of the river, after hard days work got fifty shad, which was the best showing of any day yet. A genera tion ago shad were caught here by the thou sand. But when we are told that 20, 900 shad were caught between Saybrook Point and Madison-in space of ten or twelve miles on Monday last, the wonder is that the river fishermen get any; that even 8 few shad suc- ceed in running the gauntlet of the pounds and the gill nets.
 It is said that Lane & Morris, of Savbrook took 6,O00 shad on Monday. Nearly 10, GOO shad were shipped at Saybrook on the Hart ford boat for New York Monday night The Elliott Brothers. of Clinton, caught 1000 fish from their two pounds yesterday morn ing, and Edwin Buell.. of the same place. has secured over 1000 large shad in the eleven drawings he has recently made. Shad were wholesaling at $14 per hundred at Saybrook Monday.-Hartf0rd Tunes
