OUR BUSH RIVER NECK LETTER.
Fish Out fWater-A Stray Pigeon.

The blizzard here as elsewhere, was The
worst for 30 years. The northwest gale blew
all the water out of our creeks and rivers and
left great many fish on the mud. The colOred
people picked up large numbers Of the finest
pike and yellow perch.
Fannie Walker, daughter of Mr.. James T.
Walker, picked up Il carrcr-pigcon in her
fathers yard, on Tuesday of last week. 1t was
labeled "Charlcs Velte, ll2 Pearl street, Balt-
more, Md" Probably the bird was blown from
its course BY the great blizzard. 1t is to be
hoped that all will refrain from shooting stray
pigeons for fear they might kill somebody's pet
bird. Those who can't read, especially the
colorcd people, should be told of this.
Mr. l.. z. Matthews has a fine lot Of sugar
corn OF his own raising. Twenty grains out Of

Our waters are alive with yellow perch and
they are caught by wholesale Ducks are very
scarce.

Sweet comfort shall fill my heart,
