a Sksbbereen correspondent states that
the recent gale appears to have sent all
the fish to the surface, judging from the
enormous quantities Of mackerad Cap
tured by the. fishing feet in the LAST week
Of September. In Glandore and Castle
townsend harbors the amount OF fish
landed was beyond calculation, while tel
egrams from Kinsales gave equally en-
couraging accounts from that quarter;
but in Baltimore the catch was, as it has
been all through the season, exceptionally
light. Mr.. Sydney Colt, Of Skibbereen,
the United States curer, had some 80, 600
fish IN Kinsale alone, and Mr.. T. Driscoll,
Of Skibbereen, some $4,000, while one CT
the latter gentleman's boats captured 81
900 fish for one night. Toward the close
Of the week, when the gale was subsiddng,
the takes among the Glandore fishermen
were something abnormal, some boats be-
ing reported to have as high as 10000 fish
on board. Such was the glut at the cur
ing seasons that it was impossible to Sc
cure sufficient hands to save the fish.

| On September % an extraordinary oc-
currence, which very nearly proved to be
| of fatal nature, took place at Mee.in
Quar1ies. Eight stonecutters were work
ing in quarry close by an almost perpen-
dic,llar precipice, some fifty or sixty feet
high, when they were startled by deaf
ening report, followed by a collapse OF
some 200 tons of rocks and debris. Fortu-
nately none of the ,workmen were injured,
though all the tonlb-stones and monu-

stroyed. ne
