FISH FARM1SG.-The attention given in
England within the last few years to the
artificial production Of fish, is already yield
inc boun,ful returns. No doubt remains
that rivers before barren can be made fruit
tul, and that those afordiug meagre supplies
may be benefited largely by jadlcious pro-
lection, In regard to salmon 1t is only
necessary to open the spawning grounds TO
fish coming from the sea, enable them to
ascend rivers without impdments, protect
the Young fl. from destruction, aud snature
will do the rest
These facts are now we'll understoo cd in
EngIand The London Times says:
1T is gratifying to state that even this
beginning of "A better system has resulted not
only 10 decided increase of supply, but in
"A perceptible diminution Of price.
Our or'ly fshmongers of the me,ropo-
lis have not yet condescnded TO lower their
terms, but in the country generally, salmon,
for the last year or two, has been both cheap
er and better. 1t ahouId be remembered,
too, that this decline in price, it not very
considerable in itself has been established
in the face of a general rise in the chet ar
tices of food.
Legislators in the United States, who
have inlerposed to save some OF our choice
varieties of fish from eXtermlnaloD, Will md
in such statements as these encouragement
to persevere iu their efforts"
IMpENETRABLE ARMoR.-In lste letter,
John Mitchell, the celebrated Irish exile,

first time 10y its inventor, NJ. Bernard, and
in the most satisfactory manner namely: by

having previously shown that he wore moth
ing under bis cloak but shirt and vest.
A conical bullet struck him in the breast; it
fattenel itself and fell down at bis feet; he
picked it up and showed it to the spectators.
But he would suffer nobody to examine the
texture of his new CLOTH. not having yet Sc
cured a patent. His head and face were
covered with a steel cap and the cloak reach

EFFECTS OF SALT.

There are various opinions in reference
to the beneficial or injurious effects of
sais on the human or animal system
Doctors differ on this subject as they do
on many others; some declaring that a
reasonable quantity of it is necessary to
preserve health and prolong life, while
others affirm that it will produce disease
and cause death. They assert that it is a
deadly poison and should not be used in
any quantity whatever. Judging from
experience and observation we should saw
that if it is a poison, it is certainly very
slow one; like tea and coffee, it may
shorten the lives of some whom it NAV
not constitutionally agree with, but if it
takes seventy or eighty years to kill per-
son it is not likely that any life insurance
company would object to insure on ac-
count of the use of salt.
The above remarks were Suggested
from the circumstance of several large
and handsome buttonwoo1 trees being
killed in front of onr Office from the eff.
fects of salt having been poured into the
Sect from ice cream freezers. Another r
OF the 1.ses was cut dow~~ on Monday
last, and so completely dead was = that
when it fell to the ground it broke into
hundreds of pieces. This proves that
salt is death on trees.

"Woman's Work in the Civil War.

This record of Heroism, Patriotism and
Patience, prepared under the sanction and
approval of the U. S. Sanitary, Western SAM.
tary and Christian Commissions, by the
popular author, L. P. Brockett, NJ. D., is now
published in beautiful style. 1t is decidedly
the handsomest and most interesting work on
the War, and is especially interesting to ladies
as IL contains sketches OF about two hundred
ladies distinguished for their labors iu behalf
of the soldiers, refugees and freedmen, with
abundant incidents of their work, and brief
notices of nearly four hundred others. Its
preparation was commenced more than three
years ago, and has been prosecuted to COM
pletlon with care and diligence. Some of
the ablest pens in the nation have been en-
ployed in writing the sketches. This is the
standard work on the subject. 1t gives the
most interesting complete and reliable record
of the whole benevolent work of the Volunteer
Womea OF the country, that has yet been, or
is likely to be, published and is especially the
book for members of every Aid Society, and
the book every mother will find most valuable
emission of woman.''
An eminent divine says: "Such work is
called for by patriotic and grateful people
1t is an honor to our country, not less glorious
than the talents of her statesmen, the skill of
her generals, and the heroic valor of her
armies. 1t will become household treasure,
a JOY and blessing to future times. Itdevelops
new social era; new result of our free in
stitutions, our schools, our churches, our pulpit
and our press; new power in woman; new
phase in Christianity ITSELF"
T. S. Arthur's Magazine says "We well
come this Book most heartily as the only
record of Woman's work in the War which
makes any approach to completeness
The work contains about 800 octave pages,
printed from new and beautiful type, on fine
white calendered paper, made expressly for
this work, and is beautifully Illustrated with
numerous fine steel engravings executed in
the highest style of the art, by the most
eminent engravers in the country, from photo

THE NEW SALEM JAIL.

The people OF our adjoining city have built them
selves most beautiful new prison. All the dark
and frowning responsiveness which characterized the
old one has disappeared and structure, which it
is difficult to imagine is not the residence OF gem
teman of fortune, has taken its place. We are rather
in favor of the idea which has animated them in
this matter. 1t is our philosophy to see as much
brightness as we can in this chequered life OF ours,
and even prisons should not add to the gloom which
hangs over the pathway. So far as " prevention
of crime is concerned, the loss OF liberty 10 the idea
which deters and we doubt II there 10 = sohtary

SUPREME COURT.

Since the passage of the military reconstruc-
tion billby Congress, there has been consider
able uneasiness in the public mind as to wheth-
er the Supreme Court would not attemptTto set
it aside and thus throw the country again into
confusion. A case involving all the essential
principles of the bill has just been decided by
that court, in which they affirm that they are
entirely without jurisdiction in the matter and
cannot interfere to prevent the President from
executing its provisions. This virtually settles
the whole matter, for if he cannot interfere in
one case he cannot in another, and indeed the
course of the President latterly gives indica-
tious that he intends to carry out in good faith
the provisions ofthat act. Whether the bill is
the best one that could be deised, we will not
pretend to say, butwe are sure that any plan at
all llreaching upto the case is better than con-
slant vaccillation; and so we hail this decision
with pleasure, for the South now knows exactly
what it must work up to in order to secure the
reconstruction it desires.

10 Rev. DR.. H. Mattison, whose elaborate
and powerful discourses at the camp meeting,
and in the Commerce ST., Methodist Church
OF this city, has recently been delivering a
series of lectures upon Roman Catholicism in
bis own church in Jersey City, with marked
effect. Several hundreds of the members of
that communion attend them and quite num-
Der have already renounced the Romanjstic
faith from the influence of the discussions of
the gifted divine. A Slight disturbance was
created at one of the lectures by some persons
secreted in an adjoining yard throwing stone
or two through the windows, but the only dam
age was a couple of panes of glass, and the
lecture proceeded without further interruption.
knowing the indammable nature of many of
tnat class of our citizens, we deem it highly
creditable, both to the Rev. lecturer and to
themselves that no unlawful demonstrations
beyond the slight matter to which we have
alluded have taken place. DR.. Mattison is
thorough gentleman in his style, and is pos
sessed OF one of the most powerful analytical
intelects in the country, and his discussion of
these themes cannot otherwise than stimulate
inquiry among all who will listen to what is
the truth. He has obtained great success as
lecturer upon controverted themes, and one
secret of his success, following the exhaus-
tive knowledge he brings to bear upon them,
is no doubt, that, he never allows himself to
forget that the opinions of his adversaries are
entitled to respect even though they are
wrong. Nothing else would account for the
utter absence of mob demonstrations during
the delivery of those lectures in Jersey City.

NUMBERING THE DOORS.

One OF the merchants of this city a few days
since called our attention to subject which
has been much talked about and but little
action taken in regard to it, viz that of num-
bering the doors, at least those on the pr!nci.
pal streets of Bridgeton. The expense would
be very moderate and the advantage and con-
venience very great. The numbering would
naturally commence at the bridge running
East and West, and from Commerce Street
North and South. Already quite number of
our merchants and others have their doors
numbered, and if all would unite in the good
begun work there would be no further diffi-
Guilty in locating or finding any house in our
city. 1t used to be the case a number of
years since, when Bridgeton was mere village
or town, that sseverybody knew where every
body else lived,'' and in too many cases all
about everybody's business, and could give
the anxious inquirer all the information need
ed; but of late years it is more difficult to
keep the run of things. We doubt if there is
one citizen of Bridgeton who can now enumer-
ate the names of all the streets in this CITY.
and much less the names of all the inhabitants
thereof. 1t is not supposed that by number
ing the doors the present generation will be
as wise in some things as those of the past, yet
they will be wiser with the doors numbered
than without. Our merchants in sending out
goods will be greatly benefited, and strangers
in coming to this place will have no difficulty
in giving directions where they wish to stop.
The omnibus drivers will not have to carry
passengers all over town before they find out
where to leave them, and our city will present
more the appearance of city. Would it not
properly come under the jurisdiction of the
City Council to consider the propriety and
Importance of enforcing an expenditure of
about fifteen cents to each citizen for such an

THE ENcRo.cHING OCEAN. The New Jersey

Ocean is steadily and rather rapidly encroach-

At Cape Island, the surf has eaten inward full

Along the bay shore Of Cape May, the marsh
wears away a. the rate of a rod in two years
One of the beaches upon the coast is mentioned
as having moved inward more than one hun.

tide rises higher upon the eastern New Jersey
