ITS rather funny, the ideas many
people have about fish" remarked Il
fish dealer, yesterday. They often
come back from down river. where
they have been stopping at the hotels
and such places, and complain that
they can't get as good fish here. They
seem to think that all they get, down
there. is right out of the water AS Il
matter of fact the dealers there get
their supply from the same source as
we do, and frequently not as quickly,
either. I recollect one rather pointed
illustration of this. A lady came IN
here with the time honored complaint,
and told about the fish she had Just
been having down river. 1 enqulred
where she had been stopping, and she
named a hotel to which l had been
sending fish regularly, all the time she
had been there Yes, mackerel are
fairly plenty, at present, but we shall
get down to the winter stock OF chilled
fish, later. The winter standbys are
cod. haddock and halibut, with chilled
mackerel, scallops, Holsters, clams' ETC.

There are some "characterS' who
come into the city from the outlying
towns, occasionally, and they are al
ways noted at once by their city ac-
quaintances. There was one old fell
low in, yesterday, who is well known
to almost everybody on the street. He
is one of the keen wits who grow up off
the Maine farms, and win out in the
struggle with rocks and stumps. He
is reported to be more than comfort
ably fixed, and clips his coupons with
the best. He owns several farms, and
the man who can come upon any one of
them and beat him at trade is yet to
be found. He always looks the same
wherever you meet him. and drives the
same horse in the same rig that he did,
q score of years ago. One of his
friends jokingly remarked that he be-
lieNed he wore the same shirt, coat and
hat. but that is another matter.

Yesterday was busy day at the
City Hospital. Two emergency cases

McCutcheon. who has been under treat
ment for an injured knee, remains in

that sort are often some time in re-
covery. Mrs. Reuben Crooke, who was
injured in the accident at the Cony
House, some little time ago, has re-
turned to her home in Dorchester,
Mass. Mrs. Mary Taber was also dis
missed from the hospital, yesterday.

The weeping birch, of which there
are several fine specimens in this city,
has a peculiar leaf arrangement, if one
happens to notice it. Every plant has
its own scheme, developed to meet the
necessities of it's own life problems, but
this birch differs from most of the trees
about here. Instead of spreading it's
leaves horizontally so as to get the
vertical, strongest rays of the sun, it
hangs them in a sort of festoon ar
rangement. and all the edges point in
q north and south plane. This fact
places The weeping birch among the
plants with the so-called compass
habit" that is, the edges always point
in the same general direction. OF
course the significance is not in the
edges. but in the sides, which are in
tended to receive the oblique rays from
the east and west.

Clara Turner.

"My Brothers Sister, was the title
of the play which Clara Turner and her
capable company presented at the
Opera house, last night. 1t was wit
messed by a large audience, which en-
joyed the performance to the fullest
extent. The piece was clever one with
a plot, which, while thin, was sufficient
to meet the requirements of the play
and to give Miss Turner and company
plenty of opportunity to appear to good
advantage. These opportunities were
taken advantage of in every particular
by the company. The specialities met
with the same warm reception as on
the opening night.
This afternoon, the company will
present when the Sweet Magnolias
bloom, and, tonight, the famous play
