Mr. c. P. McClung, of Norrisville,

The fishing season of 1901 has been
very remunerative. While the catch has
not been so large, prices have been well
maintained throughout the season. The
pack of salt fish has not been as great,
but herring will show a good margin of
profit owing to the increased price. The
pack of sailed herring from Spesutia Is
land up to Port Deposit will aggregate
10000 barrels of cut, 1000 gross and
600 roe. The grand total for both shad
and herring will aggregate, upwards of
$4,000
On Tuesday the case of Charles
Gathers against the Philadelphia, Will

the call, the plaintiff declined to answer
and non suit was entered. John S.
Young and NJ. H. .Fahey appeared for
Gathers and Thomas H. Robinson for the
Company.
AT the present term of Court there
were no less than eight cases removed to
other jurisdictions for trial. This might
be regarded as particularly unfortunate,
as all court costs, including the pay of
the jurors, must be borne by this county
and the money will not come back to the
taxpayers the same as it would if the
trials took place here. Of course either
side has perfect right under the law to
exercise his own discretion about the
question of removal, but it does seem
that both the character of our Court and
juries is of such high personal nature
that litigants should have no fear about
getting a fair and impartial hearing
The census enumeration of Hartford |
county is now practically. completed.
Friday was the last day allowed under
the law unless the Superintendent of the
State Census extended the time of the
enumerators Ofcourse in some precincts, |
like Bel Air, it was impossible to finish |
the work within the time prescribed by |
law, but due allowance will be made so |
that the work can be thoroughly and |
effcctually done. While the enumerators |
are not allowed to disclose the results of |
their labor, it is predicted by those who
are in a position to know that the pres
ent work will show some gain in this |
county over that of the count by the gov
ernment last summer.
"A board, recently appointed by Adj
| juant General Saunders to. select and re-
port upon a site for the summer encamp-
ment of the Maryland National Guard,
has officially recommended field of 200
acres situated near Queenstown. This
will be in easy access for the different
commands in the State, and the beautiful
sail down the bay will doubtless be taken
advantage of by many persons who de-
sire to visit the soldier boys while on their
annual outing. Captain Forwood is
rapidly getting his company upto high
state ofperfection, and %" will doubtless
add fresh laurels to her already excellent
record.
