The bill appropriating 100000 for
the building of State capitol cdifice.
at Salem, has passed both branches of
the Legislature, has been signed by
the Governor. and Is therefore n law.
We suppose this measure will meet
with the general approval of the peo-
pie of the State. The amounts now
annually expended III the fitting up
and rents of halls for State purposes,
would soon aggregate Il sum sufficient
to build State House, so that the bill
as now passed for this purpose is valu-
able to the State rs n matter of ecoll-
olny. As to the place designated. it is
as good as could be selected, and no

of the State in this direction. can
charge the Legislature with extrava-
gance in the amount appropriated.

Scotch Fishing,

Anglers in Scotch waters have small ground
Of complaint either as to the quantity or
quality Of fish captured during the r0d-lsh-
ing season Of 1872. The heavy floods which
prevailed at intervals, although preventing
the prosecution Of sport for the time being,
enabled the fish to distribute themselves in
large numbers through the upper or angling
districts where during the last few weeks,
they have afforded extraordinarily good sport
to the angler, who has landed his four, FIVE,
six, eight, fourteen, and, 1t Is stated, even
more fish in one day. Irrespective Of good
sport and monster fish, the season has been
remarkable for the number of ladies who have
distinguished themselves in the gentle art.
Many of them have piled the rod with such
success. and followed the sport with such
apparent keenness, as would doubtless shock
the writers on the Morality OF Field Sports. !"
The season finished on the Spcy most bril-
liantly. In the Gordon Castle section of the
river, some nine or ten rods landed in the
week seventy-five fish, weighing il the ag-
gregate over 1,3l2 pounds. Among them
were included one 3OH pounds salmon, -four
30 Founders, one y pound fish (taken by a
LADY,, one Of 261@ pounds, one 25H pounds,
one 20 pounds, three "a pounds, two 23,,z
pounds. two % pounds, one 22,i pounds
three ~ pounds. seven 81 pounds, one 2O114
pounds. and seven 20 pounds. The day wa.
hardly less productive on the lsla. The sea
son was the best known for the last thirty
years. On most of the other Scotch river
sport is said to have been carried on more o.
less successfully .-.PaN Nal Gazette.

AN ENrERpnrsrNa CoxPANY-ExrENr OF THE
BUSINESS UoNR

The establishment Of tho above named com.
pany, located ut Hopewell, is one Of consider.
able dimensions, and contains facilities for doing
a thriving business. The lower story or base.
ment has the necessary fixtures for giving room
and place for the milk OF 1900 cows, which is
done by means Of oblong pans placed in water
upon brick floor, which water Is pumped into
the apartment from well located near by. at
an average total Of 600 gallons per day The
second story is devoted to the use of receiv-
ing department, where all tho supply OF lacteal
wealth is received. measured, and a correct
record made OF each invoice at the time of its
receipt. The next change is to empty it into a
large tank or box, frcm which reservoir 1t is
BY means OF pipe and faucet conveyed to the
"spring house" department in the basement,
and drawn of into the milk pans as above de.
scribed.
Aside from the manufacture OF cheese, other
branches OF industry and enterprise are con-
nected with the establishment, scarcely second
to the one first named. In the first department.
machinery OF a very creditable character is ar
ranged. whereby ice cream e made, and the full
and complete details of hog butchering is carried
ON III the most impro ed manner in an ad-
jacent department
For storing the cheese nd other stock, the
third and fourth stories are set apart. and the
sight which there meets the eye, is one caicu-
lated to inspire the lovers of cheese, butter and
"sich like" with feelings mingled with surprise
and admiration.
Some idea may DO better formed OF the ex.
tent of the business done by this company. from
the following: In about four months up te
November |, the company made and sold 7460 qts
of ice cream. 1853 qts. of plain cream, 900 qts
OF milk and 1910 pounds OF butter. When they
started, July Sth. the season for ice cream wa
more than half over. and besides this they hat
their trade to build up. For another seasol
they have prospect OF selling 400 to 700 qts. o
ice cream per day.
So great is the success which has attended tn,
efforts of the enterprise from Its start, that il
confidently expected with ordinary proportion

enterprises of Chester county To this end "
