A Fish story From Sandy Hook.

Eels are cheap on Sandy Hook penin-
sula Just now. On last Wednesday, aft
er terrific gale, old Johnnie Collins, a
clam digger of Navesink Highlands, went
down to the beach to see if any crabs
had been washed up. As he came to
high water mark he observed that the
sand was fairly alive with cells. They
varied in length from 8 inches to feet
and We're silver cells.
Scattered among them were young
fresh water perch. The perch were dead,
but the eels We're very much alive, He
went back to the village and told what
he had found, and the villagers came
down to the beach with baskets and boxes
and barrels. After they had filled all
their receptacles the beach was still
covered with eels. They went back and
emptied their loads and returned and got
more loads, but they didn't succeed in
making any noticeable reduction in the
number of the cells A number of men
got more than 100 pounds each.
Seabright and other villages on the
Sandy Hook peninsula also got large
number Of the fish.
People are at loss to understand how
the eels and fish came | a., be on the
beach. Both the perch and the silver
eels are fresh water fish and abound il
the Shrewsbury river. Never before
have they been known to be found OF
the seabeach.-New York Sun.
