New Castle. May 2S.-Shad sold for
SIC for straight fish yesterday. Last
week they brought $26. Yesterday the
fish ran from ten to forty to a boat,
which was high, and it was the only
boat that had over twenty fish.
The word fishermen" signifies col
lection of men who work hard for their
living, who sometimes neither sleep
nor eat at their hOmes for week at a
time, and during this period they are
never out of their boats.
Nearly everyone of the fishermen
had a sturgeon in his net yesterday,
but they were unable to boat them.
They are of the opinion that they
struck a school of sturgeon. William
Pustill and Joseph Smith each caught
one weighing about seventy-fve
pounds. The roe sturgeon are very
profitable to the fishermen, but the big
fish tear up their nets. There seem
TO be more sturgeon in this part OF une
river this spring than for a number OF
years.
