Messrs. Crockett & Holmes have got
well under way very interesting insti.
tuition to visit. On CoLD WATER brook.
a mile or SO below the village, they have
got one Of the most neatly arranged and
productive fishbreeding establishments
we ever visited. The stream is marvel
in its adoption to the purpose. Fed SOLE
ly by springs OF equable flow, there is
scarcely preceptible variation in the
volume OF water. from one years end 10
another, nor do the ponds even skim
over in the severest winter. This IS
third year OF the business, | think, and
the results are of great promise for the
future. They have bred trout and SAL
mon Tor the state, and have already done
considerable in the line Of breeding pur.
poses in various localities, but have most.
ly confined their operations 10 the enlarge
ment of their own stock. The wants oil
the market for table purposes alone,
point toa clear profit in trout raising.
and the time is coming when this branch
of marketing is going to be carried on
upon magnificent scale in Maine. We
do not know how much Crockett &
Holmes have invested in this venture.
nor what they have so far realized; but
we can guess that they have struck one
of the most fortunate 'streaks' in the
way of business, and one that vii! not
be slow to be followed-in the day when
men shall learn that trout can be raised
more proftably than turkeys.

Death of Hon. John Thompson Mason.

We learn with unfeigned regret of the
death of Hon. John Thompson Mason, on
Friday evening, March 2sth, at Elkton
Judge Mason had been engaged on the trial
of case in the Cecil Court, and in the after
noon of the day named, upon the conclusion
of the trial, went to the hotel to dine.
ut was at the dinner table" says the Balli-
more San, "where lie was seated in company
with Judge Price, of Hartford, Judges Wicks
and Stump, of the Cecil Court, and with the
counsel who had been associated and opposed
to him in the case, that the first indications of
his illness were shown. He was observed to
participate with difficulty in the conversation
and to seem drowsy to such degree that
when he left the room rather abruptly, Judge
Wicks, who had watched his changed coun-
tenance, suggested that it was more than
natural sleep which was overcoming him. and
that he should be quickly followed. He was
FOUND near the stairway, leaning against the
wall, one side of his body apparently rigid
He was still conscious, and asked to be taken
to his own room, mentioning the number of
it. he was lifted there and placed in re-
cumbent posture, and medical attendance
summoned with all possible haste Drs
Mitchell, lamar and Ellis responded and did
all that medical skill and judgment could sug-
gest to relieve and reanimate him. From
the first, however, the physicians expressed
little hope of his recovery. His breathing be-
camevery perceptibly more difficult and rapid
until point was reached in the progress of
the attack at which both pulse and breathing
began to grow more feeble. Quietly and
without any exhibition of suffering, and in
about two hours from the inception of the at
tack, which was pronounced to be apoplectic,
all indications of life ceased"
Judge Mason was the full and perfect type
of Maryland gentleman ofthe olden time-a
class that is rapidly passing away. He was
an able jurist and lawyer, and man of ire
proachable character in both public and pri-
waite life. AT the time of his death he held the
position of Secretary of State, having been
appointed by Governor Whyte. His sudden
death has created the deepest interest and
sympathy throughout the entire State.
