scrape the walls OF the locks. AS a re-
suit thousands af herring are killed
with the passage of each steamer, &C
cording to reports of the masters of the
variins vessels Of the Ericsson Line.
Residents of Delaware City and Of Ches-
apeake City, Nd, have seized the oppor-
tunity to reduce the cost oil living and
rave already caught many IONS OF the her
ring. They are so plentiful i'll the canal
locks that a continual splashing sound is
audible from their movements Frequent
ly numbers of the fish attempt to leap

drift their nets and use longer nets.
