COLONIAL NOTES.
+ Mr. H. R. Lascelles, for some time past clerk in the Napier Telegraph Office, has been promoted, and left for Blenheim. Fish, known as the red cod, appear to be unually plentiful in the harbour of Port Chalmers this season ; more so, in fact, than they have been for years pust. They have absolutely swarmed during the last few days, especially in the shallow water at the heads of the small bays, and of this advantage has been taken by fishermen — professional and amateur — to use nets and lines to some purpose. On Wednesday night, what might be regarded as a phenomenon, occurred in the vicinity of the waterman's stairs at the Railway Pier. The Bay thera appeared alive with fish, and to such a degree that they could be touched by the hands of persons in boats at the bottom of the stairs. It is supposed that the fiah were driven in by a N.E. gale.
