The steady deeline of the whale fishery gOes on without change. Even in the hyperborean regions of the Arctic and Antarctic Seas, to which whales now have to resort, the fishery is becoming gradually of less value and importance. The Greenland fishery for a good many jeers was a profitable field for whalers, bat even that is now giving out. The fleet of whalers, last year, fitted oat in Scotland for the Greenland Seas num? bered only ten vessels, and down to Jane 1, bat two Bmall whales had been taken, although the fishery usually doses by July 1. This looks very much as if the Scotch, notwithstanding thejr indomitable perseverance, would be tempted to abandon this almost fruitless pursuit Whale oil is already largely superseded by petroleum, but whale? bones will n?t be abandoned without a pang of regret. Tbe Augusta Constitutionalist says: "At the Conference atCokesbury, S. C, last week, tbe matter of preachers using tobacco was discussed as unbecoming and calculated to do harm to tbe rising generation by the influence of a bad example. One of tho members soon quashed proceedings by requesting the brethren to hand over their tobacco to ! him. Strango to say, not another word was said about tobacco, and a very thin collection of fine-cut and twist was lifted." A young lady of Covington was great surprised the other morning, on disco? vering in the bed in which she had slept tho night previous, a huge high? land moccasin, larger than a man's arm, coiled up between the shoets, and to all appearances it had been by tho side of the sleeping girl all night. In an at? tempt to kill the snake it caught the quilt in its mouth, and two teeth were! jerked from the reptile's head beforo it would let go. Timothy Hay.
