Return Of the Oyster Steamer Governor
Thomas.

Return Of the Oyster Steamer Governor
Thomas.
The police steamer Gov. Thomas,
Capt Griffith, reached here late on
Saturday evening after a cruise in the
waters of the Great Choptank, the
Patuxent, Potomac, and st. Mary's
rivers, going as far as Piny Point,
and relieving many ice-bound oyster
boats in st. Georges creek. Capt.
Griffith reports much suffering among
the ice bound oyster boats-some of
them being in an almost destitute con.
dition, having to resort to cutting
their own vessels for fuel to keep them
from freezing to death. They ex-
pressed as much qualification over
their relief by the Governor Thomas
as did the Greedy party in the arctic
regions at the sight of their
rescners from a frozen tomb. The
Thomas experienced much difficulty
in breaking ice in the Patuxent and
Potomac, some of the fields of ice
through which she forced her way be
~ s ONOl III luCuCS III bnlLhuCSSg
which fully proved the staunchness of
the vessel. The Thomas" made
several arrests of illegal dredgers at
the instance of the Captain of one of
the oyster sloops who could not make
the arrest on account of the ice, and
gave the number of the boat to Capt.
Griffith of the Thomas, who arrested
the parties after some trouble, and
carried them before magistrate at
Fair Haven, who dismissed the cases
for want of sufficient evidence. Cap
tain Griffith reports heavy fields of
ice in all the rivers and inlets, and al
so in the bay, which makes navigation
very difficult and hazardous. All of
the oyster feet, (save the sloops) are
now in our harbor, but it is thought
one of the steamers will leave to-day
for Eastern Bay, to relieve a lot of
ice bound dredge boats there,

A FRESH FISH STORY. The Tow
son journal" tells fish story that
is hard to swallow. And this is it:
Thomas Harden, the well-known
contractor, astonished the pedestrians
travelling upon the Frederick Road,
by fishing in Gwynn's Falls under the
bridge. After he had cut hole in
the ice he cast line, having two hooks
upon it, through the hole, and made
fast his line to an axe, and in short
time to the surprise of number OF
persons who had become interested
he got bite, and with mite and main
he hauled forth his line, and 10 and
behold two Potomac behring's were
landed safe on the ice. We congrat-
ulate our worthy friend at his success
for never before was it ever known
for Potomac behring's to be caught in
Gwynn's Falls with hook and line. y
It is common practice in the East
ern States to catch fish under the ice,
but Potomac or any other kind oil
herring never; cause" says our man
of all work, "herrins never bites-day
don't indeed"
