The Little Bluefsh-A Busy Summer
Little sharks-A Common Error About
Observation-Disclosures.
The little bluefsh have arrived, and some
very nice ones have made themselves visible
to the naked eye of anglers at the shore.
Only a few have tried fishing as yet, but
some very good ones have been caught, and
the indications are said to point to very
good run of the fish this year, the msnhaden
steamers not having spoiled all the sport for
anglers.
The West river bridge was being repaired
yesterday where weak and needing it. A
horse attached to Conductor Royce's horse
car, a valuable gray, broke through the

had small number of passengers, slid half
way over the animal. 1t, however, escaped
serious injury. The colleague, blind bay
horse, met with no disaster.

A resident below Savin Rock has a baited
zine cast in deep water off the rocks beyond
the Point for sharks. It is attached to q sta

sight he generally finds it worth while to go
| out to see what the cause is. This season he
| has caught quite number of young, small
| sharks not large enough to do any mischief.
| Last season he found big commo-
ton in the water, and rowing out
found seven foot shark hooked
| and making the water boil. He brought the
| Chap ashore and after exhibiting it as trophy
| despatched it. The sharks do not trouble
| bathers at Savin Rock for the that
| sharks large enough to do any mischief to
| mankind are decidedly opposed to getting
| into water that is not deep enough to give
| them plenty of sea room. They object to
getting on to the sand beach at the shore, as
they are constitutionally opposed to ''gettine
| left" on sand bar when the tide goes out
| Hence although half a mile out from the
shore there are plenty of sharks, very likely
the bathers are in no danger from them
However, it is common thing after an item
| appears in the papers that shark has beer
seen near Tomlinson bridge to draw the in
| ference that that locality is at Savin Rock anc
hence bathers at the Rock are in Imminent
danger. The water in the channel at tn,

of anybody having been attacked by sharl
at the beach at Savin Rock, and there ar
very few swimmers who care to swim out fa
enough to get into the very deep water wher'

A Tribute.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
Mr.. George N. Munger, whose funeral was
held yesterday, was for life time an esteemed
fellow citizen. And it is fitting that suryiv-
ing friends should testify to his worth. In
genious and useful as merchanic, and a
kindly and genial friend was Mr. Munger.
Intelligent, appreciative and conscientious,
he was hard worker all his life and an
honest man. The life and death of such men
tell of better life beyond and we believe
that they will live again.
Narrow Escape from & Horrible Death.
A few days ago Mr.. Eugene Nash, depot
agent at Danielsonville, saw two girls running
as fast as they could, evidently intending to
cross the track as a freight train was ap-
preaching at full speed. He ran as rapidly
as he could from the depot to the crossing
and reached them just as they were about to
step on the track, and that same moment the
engine shot past at full speed. Mr.. Nash's
prompt action evidently saved the two chill
dren from an instant and horrible death.
Those who witnessed the scene for few mo.
ments stood almost aghast.
