Barrcstinjc at Night.
Many farmers throughout tho valley
are doing their harvesting after night
iu consequence of tho gtain having be
come so ripe. The dews which fall nt
sundown dampen tho heaels so that the
grain does not shell nor the stalks break
in binding either by hand or machine.
It is a novel sight to seo harvesting ma
chines illumined with lanterns moving
around the broad tields gathering in tho
grain.

Columbia Shad.
Somo timo ngo tho Astorian mndo a
fuss nbout eating shad caught by tho
fishermen nt Columbia Gatuway. Mr.
Smith of that city wroto to .Mr. Webber,
tho piscicultuiist.on this subject and re
ceived tho following icply: It canno, Lo
ii shad, for they havo uo spots what
ever, nnd nro deeper in proportion. An
cloven-inch shad would bo fully threo
and ono-half inches deep. Besides this,
the sharp sickle eelgo on tho belly is a
puzzler. No shael has that peculiarity.
I should think from your desctiption, it
might bo somo vmiety of tho herring
family, peculiar to the Pacific coast, for
I know of no such lish in our .tlnntio
