TIE FISHERIES.
A New phase of the difficulty.

Capt. David H. Doughty OF the schooner
John H. Kennedy arrived here yesterday
morning and reports new outrage on the
mart of the Canadians. He put into Boon
Bay without intending to go on shore, but
was Immediately notified to present himself
at the custom house, and was informed by
the official in charge that he should be
obliged to exact lighthouse dues of "a cents
a ton, aud further sum of one-ffth of one
per cent for cashing the draft. Captain
Doughty protested against this outrageous
demand, and asked to what purpose the
money was to be applied The official re-
piled that it was to be used for the purpose
of maintaining lights upon the coast. Capt.
Doughty reminded him that there is no light
house on the coast nor light of any kind
within $50 miles. The official replied that 1t
made no difference, and that the draft must
be signed or the vessel be detained Capt.
Doughty then made the draft under protest
1t is not uncommon to charge lighthouse
dues to vessels in ports where lighthouses
are established, or in their immediate vicin-
ity, but in this case the dues on a little vessel
of some fifty tons amounted to over SIS.

Eorepaueh,s Circus.

Forepaugh's circus which will exhibit at
Portland, Monday, is thus spoken of by the
Boston Globe
Captain Bogardus and sons went through their
wonderful feats with the rifle in a manner that
was as marvellous as it is unequaled, while the
wild West border show, IMPLYING the life OF the
border men, the pony express, Indian war dance,
the attack upon the United States mail coach by
Indians and rescue by cowboys were all gwen
with realism that was admirable. Daisy Bel
mont as the dashing rider was one OF the features
of the entertainment while Annie Carroll, sam
Watson and William Showles were excellent in
their respective acts. The performance of the
trained elephants under the management of Adam
Forepaugh, Jr., was truly wonderful, their re-
markabe docility. combined with am intelligence
that would do credit to higher order OF beasts,
rejecting no little credit upon their trainer, 10
whose eXertonS the one was attained and the
other eXemplified. Blondin, the only horse ever
trained to walk tight ropes and climb ladders, re-
ceived his need of public praise, which was GER
tainly deserved Perhaps the most exciting part
drome races four-n-hand, the chariots being driy-
en- by competent performers, and the teams whrl-
ing round and round the ring with speed which
unless practically proven, might be reasonably
doubted, drew forth round after round OF ap,
plause. Pickaninny, the clown elephant, and
Sullivan, the boxing elephant, were most
comical, and visit to them alone would
well repay one. OF the remainder OF the per-
Torrance it is only necessary to add that each ar
fist was admirable, the show running without 4
hitch and it is safe to say that seldom has such an
entertainment been given the reception and pat
ronage as has the deseryedly popular Forepaugh.
