The steamer St. Peter took them up to Holly Grove, 20 miles from the Bay, and enjoyed the day picnicking. - Col. Stockihile, who is said is a can didate for re-election to Congress, was a visitor to this city Tuesday. As the Con gressional aspirant did not visit this of fice, from that we are led to judge that he does not care for The Echo’s support. —Among the many pleasant and charm ing people already here for the summer are Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Cazeres, Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Theviot, Misses Lidie, Lea and Aline Lopez-Silra, of New Orleans.

The peti. tion for his release was made' on the ground that ho was beastly drunk at the time and did not know what ho was doing. The Shad Fish. , BV J. J. D. The many querieti propounded to me as to abad,4beir habits, growth, etc., can be best answered by condensed extracts from the articles by Marshall McDonald, now United States fish commissioner, publish ed in volume 1 of the ‘‘Fisheries and Fishing Industries of the United States,” A. D., loßf. Extracts verbatim: “The shad usually make their first appearance in the Delaware about the middle of Mareh. In early seasons, however, they arc occasionally (taken in February.” • * * “There is sonic reason for be lieving that, like, some migrating birds, they return annually to the part of the river in which they were bred” * * * •‘There is a scattering run from the mid dle of March to the middle of April. These are for the most part small in size and not remai kaWe for flavor. From this period to the twenty-fifth of April oc curs the great run, and this is felt at each successive fishery for nearly a week if no storm occurs to drive them into deep water.” * * • “This run gen erally continues until the first of May, after which period the successive shoals which enter the river are small and scat, tered until the termination of the season, which ;s usually about the twentieth of of June.” * * * “The final cause of their {annual visit is doubtless to suitable place for the deposit of their eggs.” * ♦ ♦ “After having spawned, the old fish soon disappear.” * * * “The young fish remain in the river until autura n, by which time they have attained the size of small herrings, when they in turn disap pear.” • * * “The destination of these fish, after they quit the fresh water, is unknown.” • * • “Their term of life cannot be ascertained, but it is fair to infer that they attain their growth in a year, fiom the size the young attain In our waters, as well from the general uni formity of size ooserved in each of sever al runs. Their average weight may be about seven pounds, but individuals are occaslbnally caught which weigh as high as twelve and even thirteen pounds.” To the above I add the following from other reports about Florida shad; “The St. [John’s river shad are not so large as those of the Connecticut, the aver age weight being three to three and a half pounds. In 187* I was told that they 1 sometimes weighed six pounds; in 1878 they never exceeded five." * * * “The first shad was taken Novembers, 1877, and they were iu market some numbers at Thanksgiving. December 16 shad fish ing was at its height. April 15 shad fish Was still In fine condition.” • * “The •pawning time Is apparently from the Ibiddle of March to the latter part of April.” BAY ST. LOUIS. The following is published by re quest. It has been written and pub l!shed a number of years ago, bulls still interesting and will be enjoyed by our outside readers: This is one of nature’s chosen spots foi rest and recreation, and is only fifty miles away from the heat and turmoil of New Orleans. It being the nearest of the coast resorts, families find it a convenient and most desirable place to sojourn through the heated term, and people come by the hundreds to enjoy our fish and oysters and salt water bath ing from jtme aMil September every year. The town is built around the Bay, extending to the lake, for miles along the beach, half hidden by stateliest pines and shadiest oaks surrounding splendid residences. The shell road, the pride of our citizens, follows the water’s edge for eight miles, making a drive unsurpassed on this of Home, and it is “a thing of joy and beauty forever.” Many of our people who have lived here all their lives, underestimate the many natural advantages of our place, but others who have roamed the world over, tells us that its tem perature and beauty are only equal led in southen France. The agricultural interests of the surrounding country are being slow ly developed; the vast supply of lumber being harvested first, that the orange and pecan tree may stand in stead of our pine forests. Scupper nong grapes yield abundantly. When our hammock land is one green vine yard, our forest land shaded with the orange and pecan, our marshes filled with grazing cattle and sheep, this country will be one vast spot, fit for the envy of the gods. A few leading minds, realizing this idea, and with an eye to future pro babilities and possibilities, have made farms and established manu factories in and around the town that will attract other undertakings and more capital, to bring about good to themselves and neighbors. Opening channels for independent sclf-suste uancc in one of man’s noblest mis sions on earth, and leads to green pastures of old age. We bless the hand, long erumblep into dust, that planted a tree that bears fruit, lus cious to the taste, just so we admire the mind that conceives and under takes a great work, whose fruits of industry reach into all futurity and blesses alike the giver and the re ceiver. The waters of the Gulf and Bay end their tributaries yield continual ly a harvest of the finest varieties of food for tiie 1 meat eaters, and the salt sea air is freighted with health and exhilaration, so that hulf the ills of life, arising from indigestion, are literally unknown in this charming nook. All these and as many more attrac tions are what the coast, and especial ly Baj St. Louis, boasts of; if there’s a doubt upon the subject, readers, pray come to our village and be con vinced. A Girl of the Age. Here is a description of a specimen j of tbisgenuis in Bay Sf. Louis. While in New Orleans she went to the theatre and two parlies in one evening, carried on three flirtations at each, and the next day refused three offers of marriage, accepted two and broke off three previous en gagements, read The Echo and se cured for it twenty new subscribers, read five uoyels, wrote eight love letters to Bay boys aud one hundred invrtion notes, played on the piano until a policeman was:.t the door, ate no breafast hut three dinners and supper enough for four, took a walk to the exposition grounds, bought and disposed five pounds of gum drops and three pounds of chewing gum, rode to the West End with one of her lovers and came back with an other and was in time to catch the coast train and one of her lovers who paid her fare home. —Miss Alice Isnardin, who has so many friends in the Bay and in New Orleans, is here for the season and has opened a boarding house, having rented the spacious and commodious building on the grounds of Dr. L.
