Now, with a net of three or four hun- dred fathoms, it is a rare thibg to take more than twenty or thirty, after fish- ing all day and part of the ight The expenses of an outfit, comprising a net and boat, reach about two hundred and fifty dollars, and many of the fisher men dq not realize the first cost of the material. They attribute the scarcity of fish wholly to the condition of the water, it being at times wholly #nfif for them to live in, owing to the refuse from gus works in the neighborhood of Philadelphia, which, in times of fresh- et, abounds in the river and . poisons the water. Fish eanght directly after a freshet are as liminous as phosphor- ous, and are totally unfit to eat.
