Mr.. EDIToR.-This spring Prof Baird, u
S. Commissioner of Fisheries, presented to
Thaddeus Norris, of Philadelphia, 40, 900 eggs
of the Kennebec salmon for depositing in the
Delaware river. These eggs were Matched by
Mr.. Norris, with some assistance from Horace
J. Reeder, Esq, of Easton, at Heitzmans
springs, near Easton, and $500 young salmon
turned into the river. These young salmon
now from two to four inches in length, are
being caught daily in the Delaware in bait
nets, and returned to the river with great
care by the fishermen. One party in one day
caught over fifty. 1t looks as if the expert
ment would prove successful, and great day
it win be for our noble river il it should so
prove. With salmon and black-bass, in addi-
ton to our increased supply of shad and other
good fish to be found in the Delaware, no
other river will be able to boast of better or a
more general collection of choice fish.-Ger-
oantown Telegraph.

RIcH MINE.-Major s. w. Herrick, edito
of the "Tonchstone, published at Washing
ton, Warren Co., in this state, gives an excit-
ing description Of new iron mine just opened
in Warren county, which is supposed to be
the richest mine in the country. They can
shovel and pick up ore for twenty feet after
removing four feet of surface earth Inc
Thomas Iron Company of Pennsylvania,
owning the mine. is shipping off loo tons OF
ore per day which is got out in the process oil
sinking shaft to test the vein. The Farm on
which this almost pure deposit OF iron lies
could have been bought year ago for $50 or
Si0 an acre, but could not probably be got
hold of now for million or more. The ia
mons Oxford mine. which has been producing (
richly ever since cannon and ball were made
there by the patriots in the Revolutionary
War, is q few miles north OF Washington.
The Thomas mine, of which we have spoken
above is short distance above the town of
Vienna. This region is also fine farming

districts in this great country

The CommerciaS .4doertiser is facetious over
the evils incident to civilization, and sighs
for more judicous supply Of the relics of
barbarism. 1t says:
contemporary complains of the many
"relics of barbalism " still lingering in So
ciety. We ought to be thankful for the vari-
ETY. they afford us. The age is suffocated
with civilization 1t has unsettled the
sweet contentment of married life by
Punishment of divorce laws it has robbed
honesty of its manly port, and sent it crippled
and lmping through the land it has dulled
the pride of public virtue, and made all men
slaves to the lust of riches it has raised false
standards in society, religion and politics,
and it has jostled justice to the brink of cres-
ton, and dropped it over into New Jersey
If ''reics of barbarism are selling cheap,
give us moro of them.

A FRIGHTFUL SNAKE SToRy.--The season
. for snake "yarns'' is at its zenith and w
have one to contribute. But, unlike many
Others. tl,e5truth of ours is vopched for by 9
: number of the most reliable residents of Low
hill township. During the late harvest, Dir.
Frank Kocher, who at present occupies the
farm formerly owned by ex-Commissioner
Jonathan Hallenbach, in said township, had
occasion. owing to scarcity of help to I'M
press his wife into service in hauling in the
grain. Having a chill between two and three
years of age, they took it along out into the
field in a baby carriage, and there placed 1t
under the far-sprcading shade of tree while
their work was going ON. Mrs Kocher, whose
place was on the f;irm-wagop loading the grain'
after time observed from distance that the
child was busly employed in playing with
what seemed to her to be long black strap,
which the little one would every now and
then let fall out Of the wagon, and then crawl
out after it, seemingly being very busy with
the object it had in possession to amuse itself
with. This was noticed to 90 on for con-
siderable time, when ON reflection the mother
could not possibly divine as to where the strap
could have been obtained by the child, and
having her anxiety aroused finally prevailed
upon the husband to go over and see what it
'eally was that interested and delighted their
larling little one so much. Imagine the T
atler's horror and terror when on drawing
rear he found that the child was actually
ondling black snake at least four feet i'll
ength, now wrapped around the little ones
'ody, then again entwining itself about its
eek, and going through all kinds of fright
I'll movements, its red tongue all the while
arting out of his mouth with lightning-like
apidity, and the child all the while stroking
and joyfully laughing until the tears rolled
own her cheeks. The father was almost
tru,k helpless with fright, and hardly could
command his ideas us to how to get the snake
way from the child without exciting its fierce
less, and thus perhaps having the little one
,itten. Watching his time he finally, with
lis fork, succeeded in dslodging the reptile
rom the little wagon and in dispatching it.
The child was found uninjured, and had been
greatly delighted with its strange companion,
md indeed seemed regretful that it should be
% murderously dealt with by the parent.-1l-
entoann Democrat.

PRESIDENT GRANTS GALLASTEy. A Long
Branch correspondent says =" This evening
(ast Friday a lady wasrscned from the danger
of death by the GOODNESS and intrepi lity of
President Grant. Miss Martin, accompanied
by two gentlemen, her brother and n friend
in phaeton, were riding ON Cedar avenue, in
the vicinity Of the beautiful grounds of Mr.
John Hoey. The horses in some way became
frightened and unmanageable, and dashed off
at Il furious speed. The noise attracted the
attention of the President, who had just made
a call on Mr.. IIoey. Mr.. Hoey started across
lots, and the President pushed his horses at
full speed by the road. He reached the scene
of disaster in time to seize the horses and
arrest them, with the assistance of Mr.. Hoey.
and to rescue the lady from the peril she was
in, surrounded by the debris of the demolished
vehicle and the excited and unmanageable
horses. The President took the lady in his
arms and placed her in his carriage, and con-
yeyed her to the residence of Mr. Hoey where
she was kindly cared for by the lady of the
house. The gentlemen were thrown from the
conveyance and received more or less bruises.
The lady, having recovered from her fright,
was conveyed 10 her residence. This instance
is only one of many where the President has
furnished evidence of his gallantry and intre-
pidty. The family seem to inherit this cool
ness and courage. Only " short time ago q
span of horses ran away with Miss Nellie
Grant, when she displayed an Indifference te
danger and GOODNESS and courage like that
of the head Of the family

The raising of the plice of coal by the COM
bination of the great coal companies under
railroad management, is an outrage, but we
do not see now any feasible method of relief
for the plundered public. There is not the
slightest real cause for any rise in coal. The
diminution of the supply is the arbitrary act
of greedy monopoly, and it not only gonges
the consumer, but Expresses the coal miners.
There ought to be some way devised to pre-
vent and punish these combinations who arbi-
trarily and needlessly increase the cost oil
such articles of universal and necessary con.
sumption as coal and bread-stufls.

Counterfeit half eagles of 1872 have APP
peared in New York and Boston. They cor
respond in weight and color with the genu-
inc, and altogether so closely resemble the lat
ter that the detection is exceedingly difficult.
The outlines of the letters and the eagle are
not so sharp, square and angular as in the
genuine. The counterfeits are made of s4s
thousandths gold, alloyed with copper and a
minimum of silver, and their intrinsic value
is 81 10.

Brigham Young's divorce suit has apparent
ly been ceverly quashed. The huge figures
of Mrs. Young the Seventeenth in her affidavits
and petitions appear to have frightened the
willy prophet, notwithstanding his previous
contempt and according to dispatch from
Salt Lake City, he has compromised the case
by paying over to his cast-off wife the sum of
fifteen thousand dollars. Her attorneys have
not been provided for in accordance with the
programme of the prosecution, hence they are
endeavoring to set aside til compromise.

Bank employees generally are the hardest
worked of all our business classes. Occasion
ally clerk or runner gets few days vaca-
ton, but it is far from being the rule. The
duties of a bank employee are exceedingly
monotonous, and none other is better calcu-
lated to SOW the seeds of disease. Hence it is
that so many of them die prematurely.
Would it not be well for bank directors to
take this matter into consideration, and on
the principle of humanity alone, if no other,
grant their attaches such vacations as are
given persons similarly employed in Other

How EASILY BUTTER is SPoIED.-A farm
ers wife writing to the ohio Farmer says
OF all the products of the farm, butter is the
most likely to be tainted by noxiouS odors
floating in the atmosphere. Our people laid
some veal in the cellar from which little
blood flowed out and was neglected until il
commenced to smell. The result was that a
jar of butter which | was then packing,
smelled and tasted like spoiled beef Another
lady reader observes that there is a filthy,
stagnant pond of water a few hundred feet
from their house, from which an offensive
eflluvum would be born on the breeze di-
recty to the milk room, when the wind was
in certain direction, the result of which was
that the cream and butter would taste like
the disagrceable odor coming from that pond.
As soon as the pond was drained We had no
more damaged butter.

more. When all dissolved, put it into gal

When using the solution, put tablespoonful

gallons to 70 rows 16 rods each in length, to

hours after, there is not live bug to be seen

as the vines grow, they must be re-sprnkled.

sufficient: it does not kill the leaf in the
