Last week the stalwart folk of Bivalve, N. J., were fully aware that the change of season was upon them. The principal pursuit of Bivalvians consists of handling that particular bivalve known as Ostrea Virginica or "Eastern Oyster." When R and April vanish from the calendar, the sales of Ostrea Virginica soon halt. But May Day brings no rest to those in Bivalve who go down to the flats in sloops.
