OYSTER FIGHT IN CHESAPEAKE BAY.
Fi.rce Meeting offs Police Boat and Oyster
Pirates.

IIfdte3.
A fierce battle took place on the night
of the 9th on Bodkin Point,
in the Eastern bay, between five oyster
dredging vessels and the police schooner
Frolic, commanded by Capt Bryan The
pirates sailed past the police schooner, which
was lying at anchor, and made for the for
hidden ground. The Frolic promptly gave
chase The dradgers seemed to have no fear
of the police boat, but sailed together for
consultation, then backed off and formed in
line for battle. When the Frolic came
within 100 yards she sent rifle ball across
the bows of the dredgers as a signal to heave
to. Instead of surrendering the
dredgers sent back volley.
Thereupon Bryan hove the Frolic to in the
midst Of the pirates and opened on
them from either side with his rifles. This
was returned with interest. Fiercely the
battle ragged for nearly an hour, and bullets
flew around the police boat like hail. The
dredgers evidently aimed to kill, as they
fired for the rifle flashes from the schooner's
deck, and balls hit around each man of the
Frolic's crew. The dredgers kept sailing
round the schooner firing into it from all
sides. Both fought under cover, and so we'll
were they protected that no one was seri-
ously wounded Finding the police schooner
determined to fight to a finish, the
dredgers finally sailed away. The Frolic's
sails were ribboned with iron hail, and a
number of shots were lodged in her hull.
The Steamer McLain, being posted as to the
Iirates set out in pursuit, and succeeded in
overhauling them. All five were captured
and brought to St. Michael's. They
were charged before a magistrate with
dredging on forbidden ground and fined $50
and co ts When the hearing was over and
the dredgers were being turned out into the
stream, some of the tongers on the shore
cheered, whereupon the enraged pirates fired
into the crowd, seriously. wounding a colored
man.

Town and Country Children.

The growth of town children is
quicker than that of country children.
The demands upon the nutritive powers
are larger: and, consequently, we can
understand how it comes about that the
educational burden is felt more by town
children than their country cousins.
And, further, the growth is more rapid
in girls than in boys. And probably,
the effects of education are felt more
keenly by girls than boys. National

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af-
fiicted? If you will remember a few
years ago the word Malaria was COM
paratively unknown,-to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func.
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
BILE through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
