good view of the interior of the vessel.
Imagine our surprise to see a volume of
mackerel spouting into the vessel through
the centerboard well at the after end of
the board, where there was space about
foot long and four inches wide to allow
for play. The fish came into the vessel
in torrent, and it seemed as if a barrel
of them landed in the hold every ten
seconds. With cry of terror the old
man rolled over the hatchway among the
fish. He had tainted at the extraordinary
spectacle. Above the noise of Tapping fish
we could hear commotion under the
packets bottom.

THE cook was a thrifty fellow, and
his brains were in the right place that
day. He got line under the old mans
arms, and rescued him from the fish that
were filling the hold like an incoming
tide. What a noise they made as they
struggled for liberty. We gave the old
man a stiff nipper of rum and he came
to just as the fish had risen close under
the deck and the vessel was floating, COW

terror assailed US. The pressure would
soon burst the deck and the packet would
sink like lead. We had at least so tons
of No. / mackerel aboard, at 81 for each
fish in open market, and they had come
to u.s. veritable fountain of finny life
This new situation sent the Old man

over the bow. We placed 100 pounds of
chain in the cask so as to sink it to the
depth of the fish. Then we let it go into

water on either side and astern was white
with mackerel, floating belly up. They
were thick enough to walk on. The anchor

New Brunswick, Sept. 2 (SpeciaD.-The
first instance in this section of the use of

They recently became engaged against
the wishes of the parents of the girl.
whose objections were based on their
daughters youthfulness, and not on any
dislike of Mechlin. Hannah's father abso-

three years, and Hannah agreed to obey

and started in pursuit, but the young
folks had a good start. The couple rode
direct to the home OF justice OF the peace
