Fish in Great Numbers.-A Snow
Hill correspondent writes Fish have
never been known to be so plentiful
| along this region of the coast as at
as at present, and sea trout and drum
| fish of the largest kind are being caught
in abundance. A few days ago a party
of four succeeded in catching three
barrels full of these fish in less than
two hours time Heretofore our fish
ermen have depended on the bay sole
lv for their catch, where by reason OF
| the shallow water cool weather and
eduinoctial gales the fish disappear by
the first of October, but this year they
have been wise enough to try deep sea
fishing, and are in consequence reapinl
a rich harvest. A great many sports
men from Baltimore and other cities
are being attracted by the large catches

FOard of ElktOn, while out exercising
a favorite bird dog. flushed in a fielC

rose close to his feet, he struck at i
with a short stick which he held in hi
hand. and TO his surprise knocked i
down. the bird falling wing broken
After some trouble he found the bird
and brought it home, his friends now
asserting that he is a better shot Will
club than with gun. The only cas'
we can recall in this vicinity that ex
cells Mr.. FOard's feat, was that of Har
rv Howard, of Randalia, who feV
years ago, just at dusk, brought dow
with a club one or two wild geese tina
were flying very low over his head
