footsteps of Izaak Walton f 81. +.
II. J. REEDER, ESQ., Yours of the 10th is
to hand, and would say have been very sue
cessful the past two seasons in catching shad
with fly. In 1871 it was late in the season
before my efforts were crowned with success,
but brought lob TO grief before season ended
Last year owing to the high and roily state of
water, it was the Sth of June before | killed
my first shad-I took three. Wa.er rising
again, | did not get out until the 10th OF
June, when ! got eight, averaging four
pounds; so | cannot say how early they can
be taken. The first season | used a fly
dressed on No. hook, but got down to No.
last season. l commenced with No. I, but
got to the No. after two days fishing. This
season mean to try the No. at commence
ment. get the best fish in water from four
to five deep, below the rapids l anchor my
boat i'll one of the currents from the rapids,
from, twenty to twenty-five yards above the
deep water letting current carry out flies
from 10 to 20 yards, or within or yards of
deep water, moving flies gently from side to
side with an occasional light j, rk. Have got
some very good ones in ordinary current of
river by casting, but not such good sport as
when the water trails the flies out. | carry
100 yards of line on my reel. A pound shad
is difficult to kill | have had a single fish
take out so yards of line. You will want
not less than so yards ON your reel. You will
require landing-net to lift the fish into the
boat, as shad is very tender in mouth unless
hooked in upper or lower lip. You cannot
risk to lift him with pole.
They take very freely all through the, sum
mer and fall. never caught but two spent
shad. Best time of the day from A to IA. NJ.
and from 81 till dark p. M. Black bass and
striped take the same fly freely. AS the hook
is rather small for bass, | dress larger fly
have one fly by me now that hung to its
barb and brought safely to basket, last sea-
son, over one hundred pounds of bass small
est fish, y pounds, largest 81 pounds. Have
not used any other bait but fly since July

% The Trenton Gasette of Saturday last
says -" There are some huge railroad rumors
floating on the streets, which contemplate
another through road from New York to
Philadelphia, in addition to the Two projects
already noticed, the surveys for which have
already been filed. 1t is said to be a fact that
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co., since
the General Railroad law has offered such
liberal inducements, calculate on the feasibility
of attempting a through road across New Jer-
sey for their own special accommodation. 1T
wonld appear If these rumors are true, and if
the roads already surveyed will be projected
in good faith, that the people of New Jersey
are to have railroad facilities to their hearts
content. Whatever may be the result of all
these projects, one thing seems to be pretty
clear, that New Jersey has forever silenced
the clainors of the press Of other States, on
the ever fruitful subject of New Jersey
monopoly"

SUBSTITUTE FOR CoAL.-The man who can
set the Thames ON fire has made his appear
ance in England His name is Ruck. He
has, it Is claimed, perfected an invention for
economically ,,iiiAng the shydrogen.in water
for puIposes \. light and heat, a result long
sought by scientific specnlators, but hitherto
unattained. His process ssdescrbed is SIM
pie. The water being first reduced to steam
is passed through afea-hJttuhe ina heating
furnace, where it is super-heated till the
oxygen and hydrogen are ready to dissolve
their alliance 1t is then passed into retort
filled with incahdescent coke and iron frag-
inents. The oxygen Is taken up by the iron,
and the hydrogen passing through the retort
becomes a heating gas, the cost of which is
but seven pence per 1900 cubic feet This
heating gas, by Il further process, can be car
BOMBED for Illuminating purposes, and in this
condition can be produced of a quality equal
to sixteen candle coal gas at a price less than
fifty cents per 1000 cubic feet. The invention
is spoken Of as meiitorious and practicable by
the Scientific journal entitled Nature. Ii it
really accomplishes what is claimed for it, the
importance of the discovery can hardly be
overestilhated Tile scarcity Of coal in Eng
land appears to have stimulated men of inven-
tive genius to unusual activity in the effort to
provide substitutes for that description of
fuel A Mr. Wright of Sheffield has just
patented new invention for giving heat and
light. Air is the material used by Mr.. Wright.
The air is carbonized, and thus combustble
gas is produced, Which it is said burns bright
er than coal gas, and when mixed with atmos-
pheric air gives heating power sufficient to
melt copper wrie.

Wood Ashes.

OF all the agents that can bs employed
for decomposng and dissolying bones the
best and most practicable arc wood ashes.
They arc generally plentiful in country
places they prevent any unpleasant odor
from being given Of, and above all, cause
a rapid aud complete decomposition Ths
bones arc converted into fne powder,
which. mixed with tho ashes, furnishes al
excellent fertilizer, vory rich in potash
aud phosphoric acid. The method of
using them is as follows: A trench three
or four feet deep and of any desired long,h,
is dug in tho earth and filled with nltsr-
nate layers Of ashe. and whole bones.
cnch layer about six inches thick. The
loves. as well MS tho top layers arc ol
ashes, and each layer Of ashes is thor.
ouglly saturated with water. A. distances
Of threo feet, poles are rammed down te
tho bo,tem Of the ditch. and every eight

so as to mix the ashes and sof.snad bones
