We mentioned in yesterdays PRESS the find
ing of the $1,000 worth of registered bonds, lost
the other day, and the bestowal of the reward
of 500 on the finder. 1t appears that tele-
graph boy carried the bonds into Woodbury. &
Moulton's. He gave his name and residence,
said his father had been dead seven years, and
that his mother enlightened him as to what
the bonds were. He should have carried them
to the owner before, but did not see the adver-
tisement until Friday night. He was very
careful to inquire if the reward would be Civ
en- him He disclaimed all knowledge of the
envelope, OR the other papers which had been
found separate from the bonds which leads
to the conclusion that the boy was probably
hired by some person to take in the property
and get the reward. The boy didn't exhibit
the usual qualification the large sum OF 500
would have afforded, and probably was paid
SIS or $40 by the real finder.

she was confined to her bed on account of it,

Elizabeth Hopkins, aged 4S years, resided
with her husband in Cary Court, off OF Mount
fort street. She had a son aged twelve years.
The three constituted the family. Yesterday
Coroner Gould was called as the woman was
reported dead. He ascertained the woman
had been on a drunk for the past three
weeks Sunday night, while intoxicated, she
went up stairs, tumbled backward, falling the
full length, but did not seem to be hurt. Yes
terday morning she awoke in great pain, and
the neghbars were called in, who did what
they could, but the woman soon died. The
woman's husband was intoxicated, and, when
sent out by the coroner to procure coffin, got
a pint of rum instead, and became so drunk he
could do nothing. The coroner notified the
Overseers of the Poor, who took the body in
charge and had it coffined.

Salt Fish.

The leading feature of the salt fish trade in
Boston last week was the great scarcity
of Goldfish. A member of ole Of the Oldest
houses said Saturday. 81 have not known
Goldfish to be SO scarce for ten years as they
were during the early part of this week, and
we found it impossible to fill our orders. We
have received some lots the past two days and
will probably be in better condition next week"
Total receipts in Boston last week were only
1920 uuintals, which were noe half enough to
go round. The outports are bare Of market
able stock, as no fish could be cured during the
extremely hot weather. Large supplies are not
looked for for at least another week In con-
sequence of the scarcity, prices have been ad-
vanced % to 80 cents per quintal. and current
rates are the highest for several years. Large
Georges have reached 81, and dry and pickle
cured bank are jobbing at Sc to $6.25 per
quintal Very few hake, haddock or pollock
in stock. Dealers have run out of homeless
fish, and several orders are waiting to be filled.
Prices have been raised to and IL cents for
the lower grades and and cents for genuine
Goldfish. The demand for all kinds of fish
never was better at this time of year than it is
at present, and this scarcity causes consider
able inconvenience all round. Reports from
the shore Goldfish fleet are unfavorable al.
along the coast. The Georges vessels have
brought in very small fares The Grand Bank
fleet report good catch, but delays at the
start will cause them to come home late.

The organist of ST. Joseph's church at Lew
iston discovered a peculiar fluttering in his Or
gan, before unknown to that usually well-be-
haved instrument. On investigating the cause
it was found that dove had made its way into
one # the large 16-fost wood pipes, from which
he found it impossible to escape. The rush OF
air from the wind chest whom the valve was
open evidently put him in state OF excite
ment. The pipe was taken out and the bird
with some difficulty, was released from the un-
pleasant position.
