MINNESOTA FISHING RIGHTS. 
The State of Minnesota has sold the fish¬ 
ing rights of a number of its lakes where buffalo 
and carp are known to exist, these waters be¬ 
ing sold annually to those who want to seine 
them out under State supervision and put the 
rough fish on the market. The recent sale oc¬ 
curred on the 17th of August, and some of the 
lakes were sold as high as $1,200, others bring¬ 
ing sums ranging downward from this figure. 
In winters past as high as fifty thousand dol¬ 
lars’ worth of buffalo and carp have been taken 
from some of the smaller lakes in this State. 
The fish are iced here and shipped to New 
York and other Eastern markets where the 
Jewish trade takes the most of them at low 
figures, they netting the seiners from two, 
three, four, to as high as nine cents—this figure 
per pound. 
The seines are drawn by horses and the 
fishing is done under the ice. Buffalo are not 
good to eat during warm weather, it requiring 
good cold water to shrink them into edible 
state of flesh. The layers of fat on the ribs 
of a buffalo will not try out in winter as they 
will in summer. 
The money received from the sales of fish¬ 
ing rights goes into the funds from which the 
expenses of propagation of game fish fry, sup¬ 
port of the State fish hatcheries, remuneration 
of wardens are paid.

GROWTH OF HALIBUT. 
A remarkable incident happened during the 
recent trip of the schooner Avalon, which ar¬ 
rived in Gloucester, Mass., the other day from 
halibuting, there being included in the craft’s 
catch a small halibut which bore a distinction 
very much out of the ordinary. 
Two years ago one of the crew of the 
Avalon brought up a baby halibut on his trawl 
while fishing on Green Bank. The fish weighed 
about fifteen pounds and was thrown overboard. 
Before releasing the fish, however, the fisherman 
cut the initials “L. R.” plainly upon its back, 
and nothing more was thought of the incident. 
A few weeks ago, while fishing on Western 
Bank, some of the crew were surprised when a 
halibut was hoisted on board bearing the fa¬ 
miliar initials “L. R.” Instantly some of the 
crew recalled the incident of two years ago, 
which nearly had been forgotten, and singularly 
enough the fish had been caught again by the 
crew of the same craft. 
To give an idea how fast a halibut will grow, 
the baby fifteen-pounder of two years ago had 
grown to four times his former size, tipping the 
scales at sixty pounds.-—From the Lewiston 
Journal. 
CAT ATTACKED BY BIRDS. 
An incident of keen interest to lovers of 
natural history has occurred in the garden of 
Mrs. Culpin of 6 Beech avenue, Peterborough. 
Tired with its first attempts at flight, a 
fledgling blackbird alighted on the garden walk 
and was unable to get up to the wall, where its 
parents with much concern were observing it. 
At this juncture the household cat appeared on 
the scene and began to steal stealthily toward 
the fledgling. 
The parent birds started screaming at him, 
and that having no deterrent effect, one of the 
birds flew on to the cat’s head and began to 
peck vigorously at it, aiming at the cat’s eyes. 
The other parent bird joined in the fray, and 
alighting on the cat’s back, tore beakfuls of fur 
out of it. The cat beat a hasty retreat.—From 
the London Standard.
