AN ACT OF VANDALISM.

On Sunday evening last as the Rev.
Geo. Shelton, of st. Johns church,
vas coming out of the vestry room door
into the chancel, previous to the eve
nlng service, boy ran into the church
md threw snow ball at him, which
however happily did not strike him
but fell against the back Of the front
pew, after which the boy ran away,
followed by his companions. The
assault was most dastardly act, and
is alleged to have been committed by
Claude Calvert.
This is only another of long series
Of annoyances to which the clergy
man and worshipers in st. Johns
church have been from time to time
subjected to at the hands of the boys
who seem to be rapidly preparing
themselves for the Reform School.
The names of the offenders are well
known and we hereby warn them that
unless they desist from annoying this
congregation by running up and down
the steps, rafting at the door, throwing
missiles at the building etc, that they
will for the next otfense be promptly
arrested and punished to the full
.xtent of the law

Slowly and deliberately the horses and men
tIudge around the capstan circle, hauling In
the line until the two ends OF the net are
landed. Then men step into the water to meet
the seine and with sings Of rope thrown over
their shoulders lay hold of the float line and as
sist in dragging it in. 1t is all hard. toilsome
work, made endurable by the excitement of an
ticipation and uncertainty that attend all fish,
ing operations.
During this part OF the haul the seine boat
patrols the outer line of the net to see that
nothing goes amiss. The huge circle narrows
in diameter and soon the interior of the net
seems fairly alive with fish. Then the lead line
Is grasped and pulled ashore. This leaves
no possible means of escape for the
fish, and they swim wildly to and
fro in the narrow pocket. In
some cases big boat pulls up
alongside and the fish are scooped out and de-
posted therein. to be transferred TO the pun
gies. 0ttentiInes sturgeon gets caught in
the, net and then there is fun. He keeps quiet
enough until the lead line is drawn and then
stirs things up. He rushes madly from one
side Of the net to the other, splashing the
water into foam, and if he is not soon quieted
will likely tear the net. The fishermen. armed
with short, stout clubs, wade in and a battle
royal ensues, i'll which the sturgeon comes out

All about the wharf, sitting amidst huge piles

cleaning fish. They are professional cleaners,
and 1t is highly interesting to watch their
movements. Catching herring by the back
and placing its head on the edge of a board. a
sharp knife deeapitates and cleans it with
one stroke. It is wonderful how proficient
they become. Their pay is small. yet an ex-
pert often earns as much -. 50 day. For

cleaners have n harder time. The work is
not only harder. but more dangerous. as the
horns of a ''catty' are sharp and ever in the
way. sharp knife and a small pair of
pinchers are all the paraphernalia necessary.
Catching fish back of the gills. a circular cut
Is made just back of the head. This detaches
the skin and then the pinchers are applied and
