Scarcity of Fish.

Year after year fish of all kind get
scarcer in this market. 1t used to be COM
mon at this season of the year for our
fishermen to catch at a haul from 30 to
90 bushels of sea trout, while menhaden
or ''ale wives" were SO plenty as to be re-
garded as a nuisance by the fishermen.
It is easy to say that fish are getting
scarcer, but not so easy to ascribe the
causes which have produced it. There
is little doubt that the cause lays at our
own doors. The catching of trout sim
ply to get the sounds and throwing the
fish on the beach to rot, was a primary
cause; another is the wholesale destruc-
ton of menhaden with purse seines at the
mouth of the Delaware Bay. If we would
protect food fishes, we must, as far as we
can, protect the food of food fishes. We
know that menhaden is the food of the
trout, porpolse and shark, and used to re-
sort to the waters of Delaware Bay in
myriads, but now they are scarce as trout.
It is reasonable to suppose that lacking
the common food of the por-
pCise aud shark, they destroy vast num-
bers of shad aud trout. In their effort to
escape these voracious monsters when
driven by a large school it is no unusual
thing to see large trout spring to the
shore and captured by men. Some at
tribute the scarcity of edible fish to the
seines soaring them off what
folly J. AS we'll may they argue that the
aud vessels drive the fish away
the sturgeon seines are fshed we'll off
shore, while the habit of sea trout is to
come in near the beach to deposit their
roe. Unless the murderous purse seines
and the sounding of fish is stopped by
stringent laws and the fish factories abol-
ished altogether, we may expect edible
fish TO grow scarcer and until they COM
mand city prices on the beach, where for
merly they sold from 10 to 80 cents a
bushel.

As we criticised the singing of the NJ

wish to say that since then under the di-
rection of Rev. c. w Burke it has so i'm
proved that one would scarcely believe it
possible in so short time.
The Lincoln Cornet Band have got
their horns thirteen in all-and have

It was very popular last winter, and its
members are composed of the hest resi-

held at the home of Mr.. W. N. Pierce.
About seventy members we're present and
some visitors from Staytonsyille, who
added greatly to the enjoyment of the
evening by recitations of comic dialogues
etc. The program arranged by the Circle
for the occasion consisted of music, sing
ing, dialogues, charades, recitations and
select reading. The music of the violin
and piano was exceptionally fine. About
II o'clock the journal WIS read and all
reluctantly departed for their homes.
Notwithstanding the threatening con

Scarlet clover.

The finest bunch of scarlet clover we
have seen this year was shown us a few
days ago by S W. Kinder and was taken
from his farm between Lincoln and FL
lendale. 1t was over two feet high. One
year ago the farm from which it was
taken was as poor as ii could be- Mr.
Kinder sowed it in rye AVID used 100
pounds Charleston rock per acre. When
the rye was ready to head he ploughed
it in and five weeks later sowed it in scar
let clover seed, upon which he used 400
pounds Jumbo phosphate per acre Under
thP process of cultivation he has made a
good piece of land ont of an apparently
worthless tract. A hill of rye five feet
one inch from the same farm was also
shown at the same time.-NezOS.
Scarlet clover is of rapid growth and
makes a splendid soiling crop; but should
the price of seed hold up it may prove a
curse to Delaware, because of its growth
for the seed. While it enriches land
quick when ploughed under in the green
state, yet when permitted to ripen a crop
of seed it VIII soon impoverish the soil
at least this has been the experience of
many.

eran shipbuilders, 8Iessrs D. I.auk & Son
are filing a slight lapse between con
tracts for building ocean vessels, by build
ing for themselves handsome pleasure

senior member has been in the shipbuild-
ing business for over thirty years, and is
an authority IN the science and art of
modelling and building sailing vessels,
and - frequently consulted by con-
strae46rs of national vessels at the old
Philadelphia navy yard, touching delicate
points of construction. This same COM
pliment was paid former shipbuilder of
Milford, Mr.. John Davis There is no
doubt from Mr.. Lauk's extensive &C
quaintance aud accomplishments as a
shipbuilder, that he could command more
orders than he could fill in building coast
ing vessels, if the mouth of our river had
sufficient depth of water to avoid the pres
ent difficulties and onerous expense of
reaching the bay. When our navigation
is improved, orders beyond the firms
yard space will flow in, and shipbuilding
resume its old-time activity. 1t cannot
be otherwise. They have built some Of
the largest, heetest, and most substantial
vessels, and are better equipped for ship
building with modern improved machine

free of cost, an exquisite Oil Picture SO
inches long, a companion to yard of
Roses" which all have seen and admired;
this exquisite picture, "a Yard of PAN
sizes, was painted by the same noted ar

size, and is pronounced by art critics to
be far superior to the Roses" The re-
production is equal in every respect to
the original, which cost $500, and is being
given free with every copy of the June

This June number is a grand souvenir
number in celebration of the SEVENTEEN

which is only 40 cents, as every purchaser
will get, practically free, an exquisite pic
ture; and to those who already have
"a Yard Of Roses" "a Yard of Pan
