Fitt LADDERS ON THIC THAMES. Two fish
ladders have been ended by the Thames Angling Press/vs-
Lion Society on the weirs situated in that part of the
Thames over which they have jurisdiction. The first is at
Moslem weir, close to Hampton Court bridge, and the de-
sign for it was lakes from that at the Galway fishery in Ire-
land, the property of the Messrs. Ashworth. The second
ladder is at Teddiagtou-weir, and has, at the suggestion of
Mr. Ifecuall, bees made somewhat larger than that at
Moulsey. " The object of these ladders," writes Mr.
Rockland, " is to allow the white fish which naturally drop
down the stream after spawning, or are washed down by
the floods, to return to the upper waters; and now that these
ladders are erected, not only will toes of parent fish escape de-
struction, but will carry with them their eggs, thus stocking
the river with • pleetiful supply of young fish, which in
course of time will afford sport for the public ; sod this
not only for the rich Angler who me afford the hire of a
punt, Sc., but for the poor man who when machos from the
bank gets • draught of pure oxygen, which does him more
good than a glaze of gin without the • ox,' to ssy nothing
of the fish he 411k11111 hornets triumph as a proof of his skill.
The bidders will also assist the kippers* or River Lampreys
(p.f,m.v70,, 0...0161,41 to get up to the upper waters to
spawn. TheM fish are sold tom' fishermen fur bait. The
number of lampreys this year, from some came unknown,
has fallen off considerably."
A New Donoe.—On Friday night, about 6
o'clock, I was walking near Oment-gardea, when • man
came up to nie and, promoting • small piece of paper,
asked me if I could tell where that we'. I concluded
that he wished me to tell him what I thought was an
'Oars= on the paver. While trying to make out this
address by the aid of the gaslight, I thought I felt motor
thing touch my waistcoat pocket, sod looking down, I saw
my watchehain dangling loose, whereupon I immediately
knocked the inquirer down, and, seizing him by the
throat, demanded my watch. This was at once restored
to me, and the fellow escaped, unluckily.—Comespoodent

THE MORMON TEMPLE AT lITAIL—That which
strikes every observer of the temple is the very remarkable
solidity of the stone work. It appears to be laid there to
remain a thousand years, 'furnishing an unyielding support
to the immense building that is to rest upon it. The
foundation is deep, the stones large, well *elected, properly
jointed with innumerable arches. upright and reversed.
The stones comprising this foundation are large,
square blocks of (ratite, brought fifteen miles, and it
is of similar stone that the eetire structure is to be built. It
coven a large space, say two hundred by one hundred feet.
I sew as outside view of the upper portion. The style of
architecture in somewhat novel. The front view shows
three towers, the oentre more elevated than those at the
Bide. The rear end presents • view of three towers also,
the side walls being strengthened with powerful abutments
world with pinnacle.—S4 Louie Republica*.
