C. O.D.-Fisn— That spoils codfish, hut they 
were catfish, and according to the veracious 
account of the New Orleans Times there were 
1,523, the modest catch of one and one- half 
hours’ augling, by four anglers, near that 
city. The result of this performance, we are 
told, was “ an unprecedented depression in 
the fish market, the price of selected ‘ cat ’ 
with mashed bones, being quoted at half a 
ceut a pound, with little inquiry and few 
speculators at that figures. Many of our 
citizens have been the recipients of strings 
of this delicious fish, sent by express, marked 
‘ speckled trout, C. O. D.,’ and generally sent 
back with regret, on account of not under- 
standing t he initials. Altogether the trip was 
not a success ; to quote the emphatic lan- 
guage of Colonel Jack Sellers, they tiffin t 
leave enough catfish arouud Lookout Station 
to start another generation.”
