the reporter,” says the Boston Herald. The reporter is not apt to be snubbed. Very few can afford to snub hin. Keifer’s downfall was said to be due to the fact that he snubbed reporters, and it is claimed that a Union general who had a great career before him lost all chance of fame by insulting a newspaper man, where- upon the rest agreed never to mention that general's namein their re ports, and so the unfortunate man dropped out of sight. The | Herald pleads for the reporter. The man who does the snubbing is the person who ° should be sympathized with.

Boston, Aug. 28.
Porarors—Receipts have increased - at the railroads, and prices are easy. Sales of New York at 50 to 55c., and New Hamp- shire at 60 to 65c. per bushel. Best natives are selling at $2 per bbl. Sweets are in large receipt and prices have declined, with sales of good at $2 to $2.50 per bbl. Eaas—There is a little firmer feeling, with more inquiry for strictly fresh stock. Eastern extras command 174 to 18c. Nor- thern and Provincial firsts rule at 154 to i6c., and 16c. is an outside price for P. E. Island. Canadian slow at 15 to 15$c., and Western at 13 to l4c. per dozen.
Fisn.—The market for Mackerel has been considerably excited during the week, owing to the eagerness of dealers to obtain supplies, and prices have materially ad- vanced. In Gloucester fare lots sold at $9 75 per bbl on Monday, and one of 425

bbls sold on Thursday at $1075 per bbl, sea packed. Sales of No 2 at $9, «and
others are held at $10. Several lots of old No 2 sold at $8, and old No 3 at $6 50 to $7 per bbl. These prices show a rise $3 to $4 per bbl within two weeks, and the tend-
ency is to still higher rates. The catch to date is only 37,128 bbls against 208,250 bbls same time last year, a deficiency of upwards of 170,000 bbls. Consignments from the Provinces will tind a ready sale,
but it is impossible to give a reliable range of quotations. Codfish are in liberal sup- ply and while quotations are the same, concessions have to be made to sell round lots.

Irish Affairs.
A report is received that a man named Brosnan has been shot at Castle Island, County Kerry, Ireland, Brosnan, who is a “farmer, was shot by moonlighters. The wound i isin the leg and not considered dangerous. The moonlighters, after leav- ing Brosnan, visited the house of farmer Rooney. Entering the dwelling they pulled Rooney out of bed, fired several shots over his head, and forced him to swear he would not pay his rent. The police heard the shots but failed to make any arrests.
Gen. Sir Reevers Buller in an interview in relation to his duties in County Kerry, said :—‘*I wish to distinctly state that I
' simply to rej
