ACTION OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
1t is the design of the board of public works to
place Seneca stone steps as base for the ter
race on the east side Of New Jersey avenue,
from b to f streets, and to use bluestOne or
granite curling. The water tub at the corner
OF sd ard III streets will be allowed to remain for
the benent OF the citizens OF that locality.
TO-DAY.
Patrick Culinane's contract for the improve
ments on y street was cancelled in consequence
of disobedience OF orders of the board and work
not being according to Specifications. Residents
on 10Th street, from p to Boundary streets,
were informed that there was no probability of
a gas main being laid between the points named
this season. The Potomac glass works company
were notified that their request for water main
on 18th to \ streets cannot be granted as the
number OF water taNers would not warrant the
expenditure. The contractor for the Goth street
Improvement was instructed to make the pave
ment on said street conform TO the grade on
street. The contract made with Messrs. Beckett
q Williams to lay fOOtwalks on Nj street, be-
tween 18th street and Connecticut avenue, and
that of G. T.. Evans, for asphalt pavement be-
tween the same points was ordered to be can
celled.

Great Run of Shad.

The..Rochester Union says: The practi-
cability of artificial propagation of fish,
has at last been demonstrated to the salts
faction of the doubters. Four years ago
Seth Green, under the directions of the fish
commissioners of the State, began the work
of propagating shad in the Hudson. Last
year the fish were of size to be market
able, and the increase was so great as to
make shad cheap. The shad season has
just been opened in the Hudson and gives
evidence of still greater improvement
Monroe Green, who has just pitched his
tents at Mull's fishery, ten miles below
Albany preparatory to the commencement
of the artificial production of shad, writes
his brother Seth, under date of the 18th,
that the fishermen are taking lots of shad
further down the river. They are sold at
fisheries, for from eight to ten dollars per
hundred fish, and they have been sold as low
as three. The market of Albany was glut-
ted, and dealers did not know what they
would do with so many fish. The shad
had not yet reached Mull's in any number,
Dut are shortly expected there, when the
work of Matching will begin.
1t will be remembered that the shad
which are sold at the prices above named
will weigh from two to four pounds, are
very cheap food. These shad are those
which were turned loose from the Matching
boxes of Mr.. Green in the spring of 1868
and 80. Those of later seasons will come
along in due time to further demonstrate
that the waters properly cultivated can
rival the land in the production of food for
the people"
Had Governor Geary seen fit to sign the
fish bill passed at the last session, this
State would have soon enjoyed the same
benefit that New York is now enjoying.
1t is now too late to commence operations
this year, and so he has delayed any good
results which might Mise for another year.

A Sheriff Attacked with Hot Water.

On Thursday morning, May 9th, Sheriff
Myers, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff
Hess and Frank Musselman, visited the
premises of a family named Barclay, resid-
ing near Dry Wells, in Colerain twp,
Lancaster county, to dispossess them from
property sold at Sherif's sale, and confirm
ed by the court to H. B. Swarr, Esq, in
January last. The Sheriff found the house
locked, the inmates being Sarah and
Martha Barclay, and their mother, aged
seventy-eight, and man named Miller.
The demand for admittance was refused,
the sheriff broke the door with an axe, and
the party threw hot water through the
opening. Frank Musselman entered, up
set the boiler containing hot water and put
the fire out. The inmates, being armed
with clubs and hatchets, retreated up
stairs, vowing they would not surrender
alive. The old lady fourished double
barrel gun, loaded and capped, daring any
one to come up stairs. Sheriff Myers took
the gun from her, uncapped it and put it
away. The party parleyed with the sheriff,
begging him to leave and report that he
was unable to dispossess them. Finally
the sheriff and his party succeeded in dis
possessing the occupants, and putting their
goods outside. Possession was then given
VIM. Campbell, to whom Mr.. Swarr had
rented the property. The party said they
had been advised by a lawyer to resist

singular detention to railroad trains was
had. The obstruction was caused by vast

stripped clean of their foliage by the pests,

A Nice Find.

From Cold Spring, Cape May county,
N. j., comes story of the discovery of a
chest containing $4,000, on the Dick
Thompson farm, near Fishing creek. Two
men, one of whom bears the name of Gar
retson, were digging bitches on the farm,
which is now owned by Garretson, when
they hauled up the money chest.
The coin, they say, is SO old that it is
scarcely possible for them to tell the exact
value of the pieces, but the larger part is
gold, the pieces being about the size of
twenty-dollar gold pieces, 1t is said fur
thermore, that Captain Kidd's name was
found imprinted ON the chest. There has
been periodical excitement in the place
for the last forty years, and this report has
caused q sensation that has affected the
country for miles around.
