BOWERS.


shad fishing is the absorbing thought
and the subject for the conversation,
more especially among the fishermen. The
most Of them have their nets in place
and are being rewarded for their time
and expense Of getting them out. Those
/ who had them in position last week were
| fortunate as their catches ran as high
as eighteen shad with small nets, and
sold al the wharf at one dollar piece
straight. and even this week while they
are making larger catches and more
than double the number of nets IN COM
mission, there has been no cessation in
demand or price. The spring Equinox
usually brings the fish along our shore
and likewise the fish hawks" that HE
themselves to the southern cline where
they remain during the cold season and
return with the coming OF fish, which is
a sure sign: also the fishermen who spend
the fishing season here and the remainder
Of the year somewhere else.

Bowers, who left here last fan and locat-
ed in Chester, have returned to their old
quarters here where they will make their
