.Mr. Mitch 11 es a very deserving you no:
man and admiring the praiseworthv

him. The rule of my life has been I ,

look to his own elevation and to the
good of others. How' much I have
accomplished in this b half, iu making

Wishing for Mr. Mitchell a continua

EXTENSIVE FISHING.
From Raleigh News-Ofservef. . "
Clement Manly, Esq., of New
Berne, is in the c.ty 'attending the
Supreme Court. In a pleasant dial
with him on yesterday, a reporter
learned some facts about the fishing
industry around Bean"ort an 1 ?.f ore
head city. There is a large run of ali
kinds of fish nd the catelies are
enormous. A school of "fatbacks"
was captured a day or two since an 1
thon jh 400.000 liav e been taken from
the nets not hail of the entire school
has been taken out. The "scrap fac
;riea ;ire running with
vim and
supplying fertilizer facK.ries wit-,
tremendous qu-.intitie of scrap. As
the tish ore taken. from the net the
are pieced in large vats end every
particle of oil is pressed from them.
This oil 1ms a goo 1 commercial v.iluc
and is a source of considerable reve
nue. After pressing the fish no
spread upon laro Hat plots o ground
to dry. Then they are packed in
sacks and sent mi to the fertili
lactones
This fish scrap ontains
VI to 15 per cent, of ammonia.
The porpoise fisheries i-.re tilso hav
ing fine runs. '! houaan ls are- beiiu
captured and u j business is ?o heavy
that two more factories are contem
plated for extracting oil and working
skins. The business has increased
over 100 per cent from last, year.
l aere are Jarge runs:' of oM:er fish, j
- icli as mullet s, m-ickerei, clue tisii j
v-c, and the fi--hi;ig secth.-a is on a j
big boom. j
