OYsTERMEN OUT OF WORK.

Milford, Dec. 23.-The industry OF
longing oysters for packing houses,
which has given employment to many
;aborers around Milford this winter.
has practically ceased, owing to the
scarcity Of suitable bivalves. The
packing houses pay Mispillicn OYSTER
men 40 cents per butanel and the law
permits them TO tong" nine bushels
per day, making fair wages, but on
account OF the exceedingly dry fail.
which caused a dearth OF fresh water
on which the oysters feed and fatten,
they have become very poor and thin
and of the quality known TO oyster
men as "siick-ups," which signifies q
long thin oyster.
Therefore the Mispillion oysters
would shuck one gallon to a bushel
but the "stick-ups" are only turning
tout one pint to a bushel, which has
made it Improbable for the packers
| 10 purchase them.
