Grub ia Ohio sheen.

New CONERsTowN, Ohio, March % A
peculiar malady, termed grub, is Just now
carrying Off many sheep in this section, and
sad havoc is being made among some OF our
wool-growers' focks. The disease is caused
by a worm called grub, and is a very dis.
tressing one. The egg Of the worm
is deposited in the nostril of the sheep in
July or August by peculiar kind
of fy, and the grub matches out in March
and begins hurrowing towards the brain,
which, when it penetrates, kills the animal
at once The worm is about the size of a
common grub worm. Mr., Richard King, a
prominent farmer, has already lost thirty of
his finest sheep, and other farmers have last
nearly their entire fiocks.

PRovINCETowE, Mass, June 3d.
From June7 up to this date sixteen
vessels from this town employed In the
mackerel fishery have landed 3, 500 bar
rels of markerel, nearly allbeing small
fish. This shows a marked increase
over last years catch for the same
period. The fleet reports large fish as
being very scarce on the New England
shore and the prospect very discourag-
ing. Late arrivals report large bodies
OF small mackerel between Cape Cod
and Thatcher's Island, we'll off shore,
but the fish are Of very poor quality
and no low in price that the vessels
will not seine them. A report received
here to-day sayS that q Provincetown
vessel Is 1t Chsdbucto bay, N. s with
100 barrels of large mackerel, and that
the prospects there Is good for taking
large fish. Should this report be veri-
fed the larger part Of the fleet will
probably go to the Nova Scotia shore.
Small nackerel have not yet..come into
the bay to any extent. and the fish
-eirs are doing almost nothing. The

STEAMSHIP "BRITIsH PRINCE. !"
June 14th, 1884.-At six q. m, we
steamed out of the dock 1t Philadel-
phia with .farewells waving from the
docks. A bright sun and calm sea
awaited US. At Marcus Hook we passed
the little steamer Wilmington, with
those We loved on board, as we could
plainly distinguish them. At 2 p. M. We
reached Henlopen, and at 2.15 went to
sen, and In nne heur we were alone upon
the broad sea.
The British Prince" is one of the
new ships Of the American Line, and AZ
staunch ship ss ever travelled the sea.
During our entire voyage, though
winds beat and waves dashed upOn
her, we have seemed as safe and CON-
Portable AZ II In our own house at home.
Our captain Is Q young Englishman,
very attentive TO his passengers, and
full Of yarns. All hands OF us will
keep yarn spot In our memory for
Captain Burton Of the "British Prince. +"
The other officers are all thorough sea-
men and kind gentlemen. Two OF them,
DIR. Dennis and fourth officer Ray, are
from tho old sod, and are possessed OF
every generous Irish trait.
The weather has been superb. At
this moment, as I write, favorable
winds ARE bearing the ship along,
tossing US not little, and whirling up
the white caps and sitting the deck on
edge; but we have become old sailors,
and don't mind IL. The weather having
been 10 mild at first, and with well
established stomach habits and skillful
sea legs, We hope to stand 1t to the end.
We have had icebergs, flying fish and
sharks, ~ well "a whales, TO- break the
monotony. One morning I saw by
the ships side, sailing in the water,
something which looked like broken
wine glass. On inquiring of our chief
engineer, Mr.. Connell, he informed me
that Jack" called them Portugese
Men-o-war, and from them the art Of
sailing was learned. Their proper name
10 Nautilus.
On Sunday morning We gathered In
the saloon at the Same hour when oui
our friends ashore would gather In their
respective churches, where Captain
Burton read from the Bible, assisted by
| first officer Morle. A sermon was
prsached BY my room mate, Rev. d. j.
Burwell, Of Dubuque, Iowa. At the
conclusion . collection was taken fol-
the seamen's orphan fund. The result
was about forty dollars. The rest Of
the day was spent in singing, reading
old papers and writing to friends ai
home.
