GRABBING TIME.
New Havener's Experience in New
 Jersey.

Jersey.
 RAILWAY, N. J., July 30, 1884. To'the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Did you ever go 'crabbing?" If you never did, let me tell you all about it, for it is such lots of fun, particularly if you do all of the catching, and do not get caught yourself.
 There are great many ways of catching crabs, ,"but I shall at this writing confine my self to telling of but one, and that one was the way your writer employed on our expedi- tion a day or two ago.
 First YOU hire a large fiat bottom boat which is big enough to hold all you catch. Get half dozen fish lines about ten feet long, buy lot of odd pieces of meat-beef, mutton, pork or veal, Cor fish heads will dol, get "scoop net" with short handle, and you are ready. You row to the location, Gin this case some two or three miles away and as wind and tide were both against me, the distance was twice doubled, and the sun hoD, and when on the ground throw over your anchor and begin.
 began by eating big watermelon-wai ing for the crabs to bite. Not bite. The trouble was I did not know how to fish Those all about me were catching them fast lone man four at 8 Eme) and none. SeV- eral small boys in 8 rickety old boat were hauling them up fast, and I none. Soon threw the melon overheard and 'set out" in earnest. Throwing over several lines at once I began doing as I saw the others do, draw ing up the line slowly. Oh so slowly SC quietly! still easy until I brought him te within a few feet of the surface of the water, and then clapped the scoop net under him. No he was too quick for me, for like a flash he had let go and was off. Try again. This time steady, slow. Yes, he is there! Quick An, yes, you have him. Don't he bite though, so mad that he won't let go of the net, and you can't get him loose. Once more-steady-ye there he is-a big one. Easy now-all right-two dn the boat, and just see them fight. Look out, or they will climb up the side of the boat, or, more likely still, will Etackle'' you. Oh, they are biting fast nova dozen already. Hear them clash on each other as a new one ar rives. Look out, or they will have nip al you. Fine fun, isn't it, but how hot it is Unconsciously, you look dreadfully burned your neck, wrists, and your hands which you blistered rowing, and have-in your excite 1nent-cut, pulling in your lines. How they smart, and now to row home. The tide has turned, and once more those dreadful miles Yes, this is ''erabbing." Don't you want tc goa M. C. 5.

A Story For the Season,
 The Norwich Bulletin prints the followir

The Norwich Bulletin prints the following story of the hot season:
 Parties coming up Main street at an early hour of a recent morning were somewhat surprisedto see a large and apparently tame gray squirrel hasten across the street and enter the doorway to the store of Rice & Rich. It was also noticed that his squirrel ship was closely followed by flock of spar rows, the majority of which took position opposite the door, so as to cut off his retreat Half dozen of the birds remained on the wing, 1uttering, some three feet from the sidewalk, and near to the entrance The squirrel made frantic efforts to force an en- trance, and as he did so the birds (who during the fight kept up an incessant chattering) charged upon him and brought him to bay. They eventually drove him from his prsition to the store of J. B. Spen- eer, and from there to the Boston store Finding himself hard pressed, he beat re treat, but the sparrows forced him from the sidewalk and he sought an entrance to the store of J. B. Shaw. Here also he WAS foiled and he broke for the other side of the street closely followed by the entire flock of spar rows, who lost no opportunity to give him a clip and hasten his speed. He finally enter ed the Pierce block, and thus escaped furth- CT punishment. It was supposed by those who witnessed this extraordinary fight that the squirrel had been tampering with some nests in that vicinity, hence the sparrows turned out in force and mobbed him in true Democratic style

The creditors of the Grand Union hotel held meeting in one of the hotel parlors and it was expected that the 9 per cent. set clement would be effected and the money paid, but Lawyer filling, representing Hurl- burt & Bro, would not agree to the settle ment.

Rock Island, Illinois Central, Lake Shore. Michigan Central and Missouri Pacific were also exceptionally weak throughout the morn ing on reports of cutting of rates in the West After midday the market underwent complete change and the mornings depression was followed by an active and buoyant market. Prices were rapidly bid up by the cques, and the early sellers fearing trap rushed to cover. The reports of rate cutting by the grangers were denied, which helped the ad- vance.

He said further that his wife wanted to keep the naughty servant girl and the girl did not propose to go. She even remonstrated with such force as to knock the old gentleman down.
