One of the most pleasing things about the
fish supply of st. Petersburg is that you
are always sure of getting your fish fresh !;
they are brought to the city alive in welled
fishing boats at the fshermongers' doors
may be seen two or three large tubs, in
which the fish to be bought are languidly
moving about, and at the restaurant estab-
lishments humanity and gastronomy unite to
prolong their lives to the latest possible mo-
ment. In the entrance hall or ante-room
there is usually large glass aquarium, in
which the fish swim about until they are
wanted. The sterlet or small sturgeon is
the fish par excellence of the entertainments
of the rich at St Petersburg, and is rightly
esteemed "a great delicacy. 1t is about the
size of a middle sized pike. is mud fish
like the eel, and tastes something like 1t but
is more delicate in flavor, and not so oily
The consistency of the flesh is like that of
the thin parts of the belly of the salmon, but
white. 1t has no bones, or rataer the bones
are gelatinous, like those of other cartilagin-
GUS fishes. Sterlets may be bought in st.
Petersburg in large numbers and at the
banquet given to the Horticultural Congress,
where between two and three hundred people
sat down to dinner, an entire sterlet made
its appearance on every mans plate.

We are sorry to find evidence of sad de-
moralization in portion of the Vermont
Press. Here comes the St. Adams Messen-
ger, heretofore considered entirely respeeta-
BILE, with an article on the contest for
speakership, between Lyman q. Hinckley,
Esq, known among his friends as Lyme,
Gen. Grout and Col. Joyce, in which the
following atrocity is perpetrated IN cold
blood
As for the candidates themselves. why be
ing white as lime, neither will get groufy about
it and will heartily rejoice in the verdict oil
their peers.
After this shocking example, perhaps we
ought not to be surprised that the St. Johns
bury Times, lately purchased and edited in
part by Dr. Billiard. allows a correspondent
oasusS-. - - s5S'yvA vItfcri
that the Times is supported in part by one
of the strongest pillars of the town. But We
cannot help begging our contemporaries to
consider where they are coming out if this
sort of thing is permitted to 90 on Such
punishment Of their readers is simply dread
full, and we entreat them to mend their ways,
while the lamp holds out to burn.-Burling-

Official reports to the Revenue Department
at Washington, give encouraging accounts Of
the increasing prosperity of Texas. Emf
grants are pouring into the State, and lands
are selling from three to fifteen dollars an
acre. On one railway line COO Cinnamon
and 3 900 convicts are at work. There will
be 5000 Cinnamon in the State next Spring.
Land that costs IS an aero, will produce a
bale of cotton worth $50 on the place, and
it can be hauled five hundred miles By OK
teams, for two cents a pound. The cattle
trade of the State is also largely increasing.
These are good signs, and we should be glad
to hear as favorable from other Southern
States.

SAFETY OF THE GUERRIERE.-The U. S.
frigate Guerrero, which went ashore on
Nantucket Shoals, on her way to New York
with the remains of Admiral Farragut, on
the 28th, was got off Thursday at high wa
ter without much damage. Nantucket
Shoals have been the grave of many noble
ship. The SPLENDID packet ship IyanhOe
was seen to strike on them when under all
sail in moderate weather, and the next day
she disappeared with all on board. The
blade of an oar and two or three other
things are all that have yet been found be-
longing to her. 1t has been supposed that
several other missing ships have been swal-
lowed by the quieksands in the vicinity OF
Nantucket. 1t is not surprising, therefore,
that deep anxiety was felt for the Guerrero.

At the siege of Strasbourg NJ. Camille St.
Marie, captain of artillery, was upon OBJ
servation duty, posted on the platform of
the Strasbourg cathedral. OF sudden he
sees a shell describe its beautiful curve
watching its flight, what was his horror at
seeing it fall upon the roof of his own house,
and, passing from garnet to cellar, then ex-
plode. The brave officer remained at his post !;
but what must have been his anguish of
mind On his relief he FASTENED to what
had been his home. Happily for him his
wife and child had left the house for a few
minutes before the fall of the messenger of
destruction

A Golden Wedding.

The interest attaching to golden wedding,
however quietly it be observed, is not limited
to the immediate family of those celebrating
it. So rare is it that man and woman pass
fifty years of welded life together, dividing
the cares and trials. and multiplying the
joys, of half century, by mutually sharing
them, that, when it does occur, it is properly
made topic of general thou ght and CONVEX
sation.
Society at large is naturally concerned in
every marriage, for every marriage is pledge
of greater happiness and fullness of life to
individuals. and of increased purity, indus
try, enterprise and stability in the social
fabric; but the golden wedding tells of the
fulfllment in good measure of what the or
binary wedding merely promises. 1t says to
the public, Here ere two in the ripeness OF
more than threescore and ten years, who,
having gone hand in hand for five decades
through the smooth green meadows and the
tangled wilds and gloomy forests of life,
Join hands together once more in memory of
the day when first they publicly plighted
their vows and say to their neighbOrs and
friends, 1.-TWO are better than one We
have proved it by the experience of half a
century and to-day, could we retrace our
steps, it would be but to pledge ourselves to
one another anew"

There is an extensive peat bog in the
southwestern part of Ohio, beneath the
gravel beds. The peat is from twelve to
twenty feet thick, and the gravel above il
from fifty to one hundred feet in thickness
The peat is filled with cedar, ash, sycamore,
and grape vines. Two tusks of mastodon,
eight feet in length, were taken from it last
spring. People in that vicinity frequently
exhume pieces of wood while digging then
wells, and the water partakes of the char
