A shoal of porpoises got imprisoned within the dike at Provincetown the other day, writes the Philadelphia Ledger , and an exciting scene of carnage followed. We hear of a man getting into the bloody waters, seizing a small porpoise, and lifting him alive into his boat. The men became so excited that they waded waist deep in the water, and two or three were observed seated astride the nimble beauties, enjoying a wet and novel ride. The massacri was general, and but few fish escaped death.
