So very iiule was 1 able Jo give that I requested to havethe claims of the sons of ministers of the Gospel preferred. Now help, all applicants as rapidly as needed, being careful to observe that we desire to help, not carry, I am satisfied that nothing is gained by pot ting boys through a ollege like grist through a mill.

Chronicle. For many-yearsln the 'early days of; todfisbery the only ' method of taking he iBh was by the use of what are now termed the baud-lines, to aislin KuUh'them from set lines or trawls. At length trawl-llihiBg was introducetl, to ine lniense uisgusi 01 iue uauu-iiners, who declared that, the trawlers would kill off all the fish, or at least t thin them out to such an extent ai to de stroy the fishiDg business ; but the use of tra wis became more and more com-J mon, until now the hand-liue fishing doae is but trilling. Recently we were Informed that a new method of ciplur ing codfiU baM beeu introduced, to wit, the employment of a gill net, with which the trawlers were- as. much dis pleased as the hand-liaefs were j with the trawls on their first . appearance. This statement we were at first inclined J to regard as a "hsti story," but we are assured that it is true, aud that cod net is described as by no means a costly atlair. The cod keeps neaf the bottom of the sea, and in consequence the; net is only made about three Ut horns wide; the ordinary seine twine is used., l)ne edce ot the net is weighted to keep it on the bottom, tbe other ' edge -being buoyed by hollow bam of glass: the net is set with anchors at each end, left out over night, the ssme as a trawl, and hauled ia at the tlrst opportunitj j,We see no reason why this plan should not work well, and no valid objections to its use. -The mesh used being large.tbe small and unmarketable ash) of which thousands upon thousands are killed and thrown awar by the trawlers) wiil not be taken at all,4n4 the expense of procuring bait and the uisagrecaoie and tedious job of baiting trawls are avoided.
