Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

One hundred and fifty thousand fish, of the first quality of herring and shad, were taken on the 24th ult., at the fishery of Charles W. Mixon on the Albermarle sound. The number was so great that four hauls had to be made with small seines of 25,000 each before the large seine could be landed on the shore. We are pleased to learn that notwithstanding the backward season, the present indications are that it will be a successful one, and that all the fisheries are doing a good business, with the prospect of an unusually large quantity being packed.
