Cod fish are so plentiful along the Connecticut shores that one man and two helpers caught 400 with hand lines in less than a half day, last week, says an exchange, and for the first time in history they were dragged ashore with seines. The best of the fish sell in the New York markets at a dollar a barrel while the poorest are used for fertilizing gardens and meadows and are given to those who will remove them. Mackerel and herring were never known to be so abundant in the same waters. Where all these fish came from or what brought them to the Connecticut coast is not known.
