AT a church festival in Brooklyn, a few weeks ago, the fried oysters were spoiled, and condemned as unfit for food. The pious and benevolent ina agers by a formal vote sent them to the old ladies' home without mentioning the source from which they came.

John Pender, M.P, in recognition of his bravery in rescuing during a gale the crew of a Chinese junk off Cape Stiyacque, Saigon, Cochin China. The vessel at the time was in a sinking state many miles out at sea, and the crew, consisting of 15 Annamites (French subjects), were completely exhausted from exposure and privations. Mr. Dowling was for ten hours engaged in the danger- ous work, and on landing the Annamites he re- ceived the thanks of the Governor of Saigon for his courage and perseverance.

A CURIOUS fish mortality in the Atlantic has been noted recently. Vessels crossing the Gulf Stream have met with an area extending over fifteen to seventeen miles in which dead fish were floating in large quantities, the fish when cording to the American Professor Baird, the eaten resembling cod, and being palatable. Ac- fish belong to a remarkable new species dis- covered a few years ago, which are found for 1,000 miles along the west side of the Gulf Stream in watervaring from 40 deg. to 30 deg. Fahr. They are edible, and when full grown vary from 50 lbs. to Go lbs. As they show no sign of disease, it is thought that the fish must either have been destroyed by a submarine earth- quake, or by an unusual accession of cold, EVERYBODY has heard of the "Queen's bounty" for prolific mothers in Great Britain.
