CATCH THE sCOUNDREL.

We are informed that some dirty
scoundrel has been engaged in some
very ugly business of late. It is said
he has been driving the couptry peo-
pie cattle within the tewn limits for
the purpose of smpounding them and
collecting fee. One of our farmers
near Edenton was made to pay quite a
little sum few weeks since on~4ccsunt
of this ras cally work. We are also told
that this same chap has been entering
some Of the lots in town and turning
COWS and horses therefrsm at night.
Now, we believe in enf~rcing the
town laws, but if this kind of work is
going ON we hope eur officers will in
vestigate the matter thoroughly before
they collect fines for cattle and horses
and make every possible
effort to catch the rascal. Such q ras
cal as this ought to be hung up. Kill
ing is hene too bad.

MORE FACTS ABOUT FISHING.

Mr.. EDTToR:-Please allow nae space
enough to add few additional facts to
the article wrote for yeur paper a few
weeks ago On the ''History of Fishing
In this ssctisn.
The herring fishing seems to have
been very old industry even in Great
Britain, Some authorities say it was
going On during the time of the Spanish
Armada, and Swinden in his history of
ths Antiquities Of Great Yal mouth says
that herring fishing began there as
early as 49s." 1t is now enc of the
most important industries of the United
Kingdom and the herring fisheries of
Scotland and Ireland are still world
famed. Richard Brownrigg having emf
grated frcm wicklow on the coast of
Ireland it is very natural that he should
have undertaken in his adopted home
the pursuits Of mis- native section. So net
long after reaching this country he
cleared his frst fishery at Wingfeld on
the Chowan. and I am quite sure no
was the father of the fishing industry
in the Albemarle section, at least he is
the earliest of whom there is any au-
thentic record. Col. Creecy in his crit
icisna has cenfounded him with his son.
Thomas Brswnrigg, who fished later at
the same place, and also on Albemarle
Sound. The earliest mention of fishe-
ries on the Court House records here is
in the wills of Richard Brownrigg and |
Rev Daniel Earle. Richard Brownrigg1s |
dated Oct. 7th, 1775, recemends to his !
executors that due attention be made |
in carrying on the mills and fisheries in
all their branches and q section
from Parson Earle's dated 1886 reads
thus: II give to Ray beloved wife Char
ity Earle the plantation on which I now
live for the period Of her natural life.

for use of said fsheries.:'

Soon the magnificent Orb of Day

WILL WANT OUR WHEAT.
Europe viii be short, and Must Apply to

Europe WIN be short, and Must Apply to
Us.
WAsHINGToN, d. G., July ia report
on The harvest prospects in France and
Europe has been received at the State
Department from Commercial Agent
Griffin, of Limoges, France. The Ma
tional Millers' Association, Of France,
the report says, has Just issued an estl-
mate founded on very carefully collect
ed data of the probable wheat harvest OF
France and Europe for 1891. In order
10 meet the demand of France
until the harvest is gathered
in 1892, ii is necessary to see
how much wheat was yielded by the
crops of 1890 and the quantity imported.
The official figures of the yield for 1870,
gwen by the minister of agriculture,
are ll9, 1876, 81 hectolitres. There is a
monthly consumption of 9,O00,00O hecto-
htres, requiring for year 5 supply lOS,-
OO0,O hectOlItres; about - ,OOO, 900 hec-
toIitres are used fOI seed, SO that the
present average need of wheat in France
per annum is l23 ,0uO,0U0 hectolitres.
This year there must be added to this
amount 5,000,U0o hectolitres, which is
required for resolving where the grain
has been frozen or injured, maklnga to-
tai for this year of l2S, ,O00.UOO hcCto-
litres.
The estimated yield of wheat for 1891
will he S2,779,O00 hectolitres This as
the maximum estimate, it will be 81 per
cent. less than the harvest of 1890.
Russia, TunIs, Egypt, Roumania and
some of the Danubian provinces viii
have fair harvest; in Hungaria it will
be below the average this year. The
estimates given 10y the millers, the re-
port says, are optimistic. Their desire
to create the impression that there is a
better supply than really exists has
manifest purpose: they want To buy
grain as cheaply as possible III
those fortunate countries that have
of their abundance to export. In 1870,
Il ,GS7 49, acres We're sOwn with wheat,
and the average yield was l6.7 hecto-
litres per acre; l5,0o0,0 hectolitres
were used for seed, making not quite
eight bushels for fifteen bushels.
In conclusion the report says not only
France, but all Europe, is looking long
ingly to the wheat fields of the nited
States. Last year many hoped that
South America would help supply the
deficit, especially the Argentine Repub-
lie, but to-day no mention is made of
those countries; all hope is built upon
our nited States harvest. The fact,
as recently stated, is that the bread of
Europe must come from America.

Fire.
pUIrTH. Mimi, July 12-Just before
midnight fire was discovered in the up
per story of the st. Louis Hotel, in a
room which is used as a lodge room for
the Elks fraternity. The fire depart
ment was summoned at once, but the
lire mad obtained too great start and in
Il few minutes the whole upper story
WAS one mass of flames. The building
has SIX stories and it is very hard 10
reach the top with the hose. \ general
alarm was rung III and in few minutes
the entire fire department was on the
scene.
Great confusion prevailed for a while
peopc half clad rushed from the house
in great excitement with bundles IN
their hand containing the little clothing
that could be hastily gathered together
az they rushed from their rooms.
There is no report of loss OF life a yet,
though several had narrow escapes.
The lircmen ran up the fire escapes and
fought the fire bravciy with the hose.
The pressure on the water on Superior
street where the hotel stands j. very
great. and they hope 10 save the block.
The y. Louis is the second largest

SCANDAL In CAN ADA.
Sensational Charges Against High Gov
ernment Officials.

crDment officials.
OTTAWA, Ont, July l3.-There is great
excitement in political circles over the
startling disclosures made before vari-
Gus parliamentary committees of in
quiry during the last few weeks.
The evidence adduced thus far goes
TO show that the public officials
are corrupt and that an utter state Of
e,erralization prevails in all public de-
partments The opposition feels very
iubilant over the progress made from
dav to day III unearthing fresh
scandals 1t is confidently pre-
dicted that before the session closes
the government, already reduced
to a majority of twenty, will find itself
sitting on the opposition benches. Tie
various charges have aroused the entire
country, and the independent newspa-
pcrs do not hesitate TO declare that the
administration is drifting into state of
chaos.
1t remains to be seen what defense
Premier Abbott and his associates will
make at the proper juncture. They
discussed the situation at an all-day sit
ting of the cabinet yesterday.
The decision was reached that prompt
measures will he adopted in purging the
various departments. WholesaL dis
missals will follow in a few days. The
government is all the more embarrassed
owing to the approach OF the by-elec-
tiopa
