A Great Fish, Day IN Bath.

There was excitement on the Wa>hburn 4
Worth wharf Yesterday. The schooner Hat
lie J. Hamlin. Capt. &. +. Wallace, from
Harpswell. arrived with about one thousand
pounds of fish, cod, haddock. a few rock cod.
red fish, etc. fresh from the brine. caught
Tuesday. They went like hot cakes; eight
men were kept busy selling the fish. and peo-
pie came in all directions for them. The fresh
cod sold for 3. cents a pound, been selling at S!
cents; the haddock for II cents apiece. Each
man seemed to sell his own fish, dressing and
selling them from his own box. The Local
was down on the wharf about 80 and a score
or more of prominent citizens Were hanging
around on the edge of the wharf. waiting for
fish, Some of the fishermen-there were eight
of them-were at supper and didn't seem TO
care, as most of the fare was gone, whether
school kept or not. 1t was low tide and one
could not get aboard the schooner very easily,
She was so far below the line of the wharf.
"Clcan that fish, | told you half an hour
ago" ordered one robust fisherman to another.
That weighs 10 pounds and its good one,
too" said one of the shippers, holding up
defunct inhabtant of the watery waste.
That was too large.
Here's one of II pounds"
THAT'S big enough" and a trade was made.
An Irsbman ordered a thirty FOUNDER clean
ed and then repented his bargain and counter
manded his order.
'There's one that weighs "a pounds with the
hide and jackets all off," said the man who
seemed to possess some authority in disposing
of the fish.
"Wheres that man who wants these cod
fish," said another, holding up two small ones
The man who ordered them had gone but an
other man took them so it was Just as well.
ANY particular ground where you caught
these fish, was asked of a man who seemed
to belong on the vessel.
"What are you talking about ground for.
they caught 'em out of the water" said ia
cetious bystander who was waiting for fish.
'kettle-botog" was the reply.
"Who's selling fish here?" asked man i'm
patiently who had come down to purchase,
and who had waited fifteen minutes without
being able to find that out.
The men on the deck of the vessel were busy
but they were not busy for him. A number of
heaps of clans were on the deck. 1t will be
one of the greatest fish days ever known in
Bath. Two citizens of prominence, after hang
ing around for a number of minu es, agreed to
take the 30 pound fish between them and so
stated to the chief cook and bottle washer on
the deck. He consulted the skipper who was at
tea, and came out and cut the fish in two with
knife that was dull that it eXasperated
him, but greatly to his credit he didn't swear
When the eight men were all at work skin
ming fish, the air was so full of fish, scales,
hides, jackets ETC., that you couldn't hardly see
the deck. 1t was a great day down there and
no mistake. Bath times.
1t has been found impossible to rescue any
of the imprisoned miners in the Pocahontas
mines, Va, and as the mine was on fire it has
been sealed up and steam forced in to quench
the flames.

The Seventh Day Adventists are busily en-
gagged getting ready for their annual camp
meeting, which for the last six years has been
held in Waterville, but is now to be removed
to the vicinity of Portland. The people
thought first to pitch their tents within the
walls of the base ball gronnd between the
bridge and WoodfoEd's Corner, but for various
reasons concluded to occupy the adjoining
grove. About thirty-fve tents are already
pitched, including two mammoth pavilions
which spread their white wings over large
surface. The encampment today presents a
busy scene, loads of lumber, baggage, and peo-
pie are continually arriving and the sound Of
axe, hammer and saw is heard on every side
The camp attracts much attention from
passers-by in the street and the conductors on
the horse cars are besieged with questions
from passengers concerning what is going on.
The indications are that the meeting will be
the largest of the kind ever held in the State,
as it has been extensively advertised, the va
rious railroads grant reduced fare and noted
speakers will be present. Elder Goodrich,
president of the Maine Conference, and Elders
Weber and Hersum are already on the
GROUND. Eiu6i l1a6kell, president OF the In
terDational Tract and Missionary Society is
expected today, and Mrs. James White, the
noted temperance lecturer, Elder Uriah Smith,
editor Of the Review and Herald, and Elder
d. A. Robinson, president of the Massachu-
sets Health and Temperance Association, are
expected soon.
The Worcester campmeeting, Of which ex-
tended reports, were given in the Boston
Journal, was addressed by many of the
speakers who will be present at this gather
ing.
Public services will commence Thursday
evening and continue daily over two Sundays,
closing September Is.

SENATOR FRYE's SPEECH.
Appeal of a Young Man TO Young Men

To the Editor of the Press:
1t was my good fortune to listen to the
speech of Senator Frye at the Bjou Rink last
evening, and it impressed me as no political
speech ever had before. The story of Southern
outrages went directly home to my heart, and
as listened to that tale of infamy fairly
wondered why the patriotic citizens of this
country suffer such state of things to exist {.
l noticed many young men in the audience,
some of whom will no doubt cast vote for
the first time this fall. Their forces were at
all times fastened upon the speaker, and it
seemed to me that could see Discriminate
upon each honest countenance that our coun-
try should be redeemed from the scourge of a
"shot gun policy and the terrorism Of ruff
fans who are having their own way in
Southern elections. l trust 1 was not mis-
taken. Young men, let US rally for Blaine
and Reed. With the former in the execu tive
chair and the latter in the House we may be
sure that everything will be done that can be
done to rid our country of this dreadful shame.
