It would, Ue I folly for me to throvy these small fish back in the Water, because they would isvvira aling with the tide and be ckught with the next seine, which would hardly be one hundred yards from mine. Now.it the law would prohibit the catching of such fish it would he better for all of us, but until it does small mullets will continue to be caught until the stock Is run out, Whole schools of these smal mullets arc caught nearly every .night but if they were allowed to remain in the water until next year they would! have grown to be large fish and by that time divided up into schools each of j which would propagate. I , tell you , sir, it is wrong and should be stopped but as T said it is no use of my stopping unloss the others do.

Dam age light and covered by insurance. A Foul Chimney. Last night about 11 o'olock a foul chimney at the residence of the Misses Hill, on Second between Market and Princess streets, was discovered to bo on fire. An immense volume of sparks poured from the chimney" for at ' least fifteen minutes and ' fears were enter tained that the shingle roofed building adjoining would be set on fire. Chief of Police Brock "was on hand and hid tho building closely watched and the sparks extinguished as soon, as they fell on the shed, thus preventing what would otherwise have been a large fire, as the tinder boxes adjoining would bavei undoubtedly been fuel for the devouring element. 1 At the 5 and 10 cent store, on Second street, Mrs. I Warren's old stand, are many usefol and very cheap household articles. It will pay you to visit the "store whenever you are down street. See the adv. elsewhere. . . !
