How Blue Points are Taken.

| blue Point, L. l. cor. of n. Y. Evening Post.1
Oysters grown on a hard sandy bot
tom usually have round shell, those
buried in muddy bottoms have long
and narrow shells, while those Of
"bush" cultivation are long and mar
row, only deeper, and with a flat top
shell. Here off Blue Point the bottom
is hard and sandy, and the water COM
paratively shallow. The shore line is
composed Of a long narrow strip Of
beach sand, which shelves gradually
Off into deep water, and in some
places there is not over four feet of
water for half a mile out in the BAY.
The number Of oyster crafts engaged
in the business of dredging is not so
large as one would naturally suppose.
Judging from the widespread fame Of
this oyster and the evidently large
numbers that are placed upon the
market.
In all twenty crafts, includ-
ing those that hail from Sayville
and Patchogue, are the greatest num-
Der kept specially for the purpose Of
planting and dredging the bivalves.
Even this number is often reduced to
ten or fifteen when the oyster season
proves unfavorable and the supply
comparatively small. The boats are
all about twenty or thirty feet in
length, and are of clumsy build, indi-
eating that they are adapted for work
rather than for fast sailing. The
decks are covered over with heavy
planking, and the only small cabin on
them is situated far to the aft, so that
the pilot can steer the boat without
getting out Of his house. The dredges
are large, heavy ones. with short,
stubby, iron teeth placed close togeth-
er in row, and with net trailing be-
hind it, capable OF holding several
bushels Of oysters.
When a thick spot is struck by the
dredge the load which it brings up
requires two men to haul it in, and
even then it is difficult work. The re-
tardation in the sailing of the boat by
this trailing dredge is so great that it
requires a strong breeze for her to
make any Roadway at all. Usually
about five days in the week are the
only ones in which the work can be
successfully carried on, as the other
two are generally calm. After large
take Of oysters for five consecutive
days, however, there Is enough work
left in culling them to occupy the at
tention of the mentor the two remain
ing days. When it is windy and fair
they take advantage OF the weather
by dredging day after day, until they
accumulate large quantities on the
boats and on the floats constructed
for their reception, and then on the
first rainy or still day, when dredging
is Improbable, they set to work Gull
ing and preparing them for market.

An Extraordinary Accident.
lFrom the London Snantato,

From the London Spectators
There IS something about the mis-
fortune which occurred on Saturday
last to a clergyman of Cheshire which
appeals strongly to the Imagination
We hardly remember an occurrence
within the last thirty years which was
so purely an accident, in the strictest
sense of the word-so completely be-
yOnd human provision, or prevention,
or control. The Rev. w. G. Vaughn,
vicar of Tallarn Green, near Malpas,
in Cheshire, had driven out with his
wife in pony-carriage to pay a pro-
fession,al visit to a sick parishioner.
He went into the house in discharge OF
his functions, leaving his wife to take
care OF the pony, when a cart loaded
with corn came up the road. The
pony for some reason was frightened,
and Mrs. Vaughn called to her husband
for help. Mr.. Vaughn ran out, when a
laborer who had been, as usual, rid
ing on the top of the corn in readiness
to unload the sheaves, craned forward
to look at thepony. Heoverbalanced
himself, fell forward, and with his
weight drove the pitchfork he had in
his hand into the lungs of the clergy
man, who died within twenty minutes,
leaving his wife nearly insane and
quite PROSTATE with the horror and
the shock.

AT certain battle of the late war a
Federal chaplain happened to get into
the vicinity of battery of artillery
which was hotly engaged. The Con
federate shells were ploughing burrows
about the guns, and the cannoneers
were grimly and actively at work to
answer shot for shot. The chaplain
addressed himself to a sergeant, who
was rather efficient but at the same
time rather profane, in the following
words: "My friend, if you go on this
way can you expect the support of
Divine Providence? CANT expectin'
it," said the sergeant. "The Ninth
New Jersey has been ordered to sup
port this battery. "-Southern Bivou-

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Nov. 21.-The market for
stocks this morning was feverish, unsettled
and lower. Heavy selling commenced as
soon as the exchange opened. This was
particularly noticeable in Missouri, Kansas
& Texas, which broke about 8 per cent.
and then rallied sharply. This was looked
upon as a drive at the tailers, who have be-
come very numerous. and it shook good
many of them out. There was undoubt-
eddy some heavy selling of long stock in the
Granger and Vanderbilts, and this acted as
weight on the market, which was any
thing but brilliant during the remainder of
the day. Indiana, Bloomington & Western,
Peoria. Decatur & Evansville and Mem
phis & Charleston were all active and
higher, while many of the more solid prop
critics were inclined to be heavy. The
market lacked vim and at times looked
strained and tired. Manhattan Elevated
dropped from 1917 to 11S and at once re-
covered. The talk on it is rather bullish.
Many of the large houses report very light
lines Of stocks on hand and no desire to in
crease them until something in the way of
decided break shall occur. The market
closed very heavy with all hands selling
stocks.
