Poor FIsHING.-The fishing in the upper
Chesapeake and tributaries, so far, has been
poorer than for nineteen years This is attri-
buted by Mr.. John P. Leight the veteran fish
erman of Otter Point, to the absence of strong
Northwest winds, which usually prevail at
this season and force the fish back from the
rivers emptying into the lower bay, compell-
ing them to keep on to its head. The fine
weather in March caused the fishermen to be-
lieve they would have very early season and,
consequently, many of them have been ready
for weeks and losing money. Many of the seine
haulers have not caught fish enought to feed
their hands. Should the weather continue
good, fish will probably arrive in paying guam
titles by the last of this week, but the season
will necessarily be short, and the catch much
lighter than last year.
HORSE AND BUGGY MIssING.-Messrs. Lean
der McCubbins and Rumsey Barton, of Lore
ley, were in Bel Air yesterday, looking up
horse and buggy which were stolen from them
about two weeks ago. They thought perhaps
the horse and wagon which was mentioned in
The Hgis as being left at Mr.. William Mum
nikhuysen's some weeks ago might be theirs,
but this had already been identified as being
the property of lady in Chester county, Pa,
and taken away The thief or thieves took a
mare and colt, buggy, two sets of harness,
five brides, bushel and a-half Of clover seed
and some other articles. The colt was found
last Sunday in Mr.. Henry Prices field, at
Abingdon. The thief had probably found it
hindrance to rapid travel and turned it in
there. They offer a reward for the return of
the property and the capture of the thief as
will be seen in our advertising columns.

A PAsToR's OvATIoN.-Rev s. A. Hoblit-
zell, pastor of the Methodist Protestant
Church, Bel Air, and his wife, were welcomed
home from Conference, last Friday evening,
by large and enthusiastic assemblage of the
members and friends of the church, who had
gathered at the parsonage to receive them.
1t amounted to an ovation and was given
. with such a spontaneous and hearty good will
and purpose that the recipients could not but
realize they were at home again, among an
appreciative and devoted people.
An elegant supper was provided for the as
sembled company and generous supply of
necessaries was also slowed away in the larder
sufficient TO last for some weeks to come.
Altogether it was most enjoyable affair,
and the pastor begins upon the new year under
the most favorable and happy auspices. Rev.
Mr.. Hoblitzell returns to this charge for the
ninth yea, an exceptional honor that has
never yet been conferred upon any of his es-
teemed predecessors.
