River Moisie. — Messrs. C. and G. Bacon, and Mr. B.Williams, of Boston, 

 lessees of the fly-fishing division of the River Moisie, returned from their 

 expedition last Saturday, and left the same night for their homes. They 

 started from Quebec on the 6th of June, in the steamer Napoleon III., 

 with the other parties for Godbout, Mingan, &c. Their fishing began on 

 the 21st of June, and the last fish was killed on the 5th of July, when a 

 sudden fall of the river, occasioned by the continued dry weather, brought 

 their sport to a close. Taking into consideration the shortness of time — a 

 fortnight — the fishing was good. They caught 139 salmon, of which 

 thirty weighed 30 pounds, and ten over 30 pounds. The largest fish caught 

 weighs 36 pounds. They caught in the same river last year 318 fish, the 

 largest weighing 42 pounds.

Rivers Mingan and Manitou. — Salmon killed in the Rivers Mingan 

 and Manitou, by three rods, during the season of 1863 : June 15th, four 



* I was on the Nipissiguit the same season and have good reasons for saying, that 

 the whole number of fish killed with the rod — including the above — could not have 

 been less than five hundred.
