IAe Fires in South Je,'Sav.

A visit to the localities of the differ
ent timber fires in this section OF new
Jersey develops the the following
facts as to the extent OF the nres ana
the amount of damage done Dy them
The first fire of serious character
broke out in that portion OF Egg Har-
Dor City tract, known as Gallaway,
township, about two weeks ago, ana
has burned over 5000 or 1000 acres OF
Young timber, cranberry bogs, grape
Wineries and swamp lands, belonging
to many different owners, the names
of some of which are Henschel, ,Grunon,
Hoffman, Guenther, Mittlesdorf. The
dwelling of the last named gentleman
and that of Mr.. Hoffman narrowly
escaped destruction. The families
vacated them, but, 3by successfully
fighting against the fire, they were
saved. The total loss by this fire IS
estimated at $40, 900.
About the same time hre COM
tmenced at the Batsto tract, across the
Mullica river, in Burlington county,
burning numerous cranberry bogs ana
two vacant dwelling horses, near
Green Bank. The extent OF this f1re IS
about 5000 acres, and loss $l6,Vo,
which includes the value OF Mr.. crow
lley's saw mill, at tHermantown, destroy
ed a fire caused by a defective fiue.
The owners of the burned land are T..
Samuel Crowley, A. E. Roster, VIM
Sooy and others. :,
Between Weymouth and May $ Land
ling a tract of 1000 acres OF young tim
lber and cranberry bogs. Is on nre al al
ready, doing damage OF about lo,Oot
dollars A Mr.. Colwell is owner OF tins
tract.
On Tuesday fire broke out on the
Camden and Atlantic railroad, abou
three miles below Egg Harbor City
and was yet burning yesterday, but do
ling very little damage, as the grount
lis covered with nothing but WORTHLESS
;. underbrush
A tract of 800 acres, belonging t
CLAYTON Allen, located about two an
, n half miles east of Elwood, was burr
ed over, involving a loss in oak timbe
of 450O dollars.
A tract of land, located from one
five miles east of Elwood, and know
A as the Bank" tract, now owned b
lJospeh Wharton, comprising IN .
j. about 1000 acres, covered with youn
I oak, cedar and pine timber, 5000 acr
ID of which is destroyed, causing 10
81 of fully 40, 900 dollars.
Many other valuable tracts OF lal
lhave been burned over.
At and around Atsion, the fire hi
Ibeen stayed before it got among t
= valuable timber, and the damage the
ou Is understood to have been in burnil
ne underbrush.
n Summing up the total area burn
over, it will probably reach 2o,O
acres involving loss of say l2o,o
: dollars. ;,
Il The fire has reached a point six mi
east of Long Branch, having in
- course burned over several hundr
acres of valuable woodland belongi

Letters received in London, yesterday, from
Coustantinople say that the authorities stopped
the transmission from that city, Oh the goth of
November, of kilograms stating that "tbe al
ready existing discomfort of the Diplomatic
Corps at the arbitrary acts Of the Government
has been materially augmented by the viola.
ton, by an armed force, of house at keeha-
her, near Latakid, belonging to American mis-
sionaries A party of soldiers scaled the house
and carried off to prison two natives who had
been converted and become Protestant teach
ers. All foreign representatives at CONSTANT
nople, except Mr. Elliot, British ambassador,
wished to convene meeting for the purpose
ofreminding the Porte of the obligations of it's
treaties. Mr.. Elliot declined to cooperate 10
the movement for fear the Russian Govern
ment would seize the opportunity to denouuee
the treaty of Paris. Mr. Boxer, United States
Minister, entered strong and spirited protest
against the violation Of the missionaries house,
and reminded the Porte that his Government
was always quick aud energetic in defending
the rights of its subjects. The Sultan promised
that full redress should be given for the pro-
ceeding."

The annual message of Governor Allen, of
Ohio, was sent to the Ohio Legislature on
Tuesday, aud is model of brevity. He re-
news his recommendations that the expendi.
lures of the State government should be re-
duced down to the very last dollar compatible
with the maintenance of the public credit and
the efficient working ofthe several departments.
10 the midst of the existing financial distress,
he says, when so many men are out OF employ
ment. and wages everywhere reduced, there
are special reasons for retrenchment. La call
ing attention to the propriety of considering
whether the compensation of county officers is
not disproportionate to the salaries of other
public officers and of persons in private life,
the Governor says: Public servants should
be reasonably compensated; but salaries and
fees should not be so high as to make the get
ting of Office profession, end to enable can
didates and applicants to buy their way to pub
lie places"

NATIONAL FISH CULTURE.-Among the
documents which are issuing from the Depart
ments and Bureaus of government at this time
is DR.. S. f. Baird's report on National Fish
Culture. 1t is only within two years that Con-
gress has authorized the investigation and pro-
motion of fish culture, approprlatiDg at differ
eut times less than $4,000 for it. This IS a small
sum compared with the magnitude OF the 10
terests at stake but has suf6ced to make a
beginning, and under the stimulatlen OF the
commissioner in charge, and a more liberal ex-
peuditure, more important results may be al
ticipated in 1875 The Government does not
propose 70 interfere with existing State COM
missions appointed for a like purpose, but will
conGne itself exclusively to the common waters
of the United States, the great rivers which
constitute State boundaries and the lakes. The
work of stocking these waters with hsh-requlr-
ing, as it would, con siderable outlay of money
and much personal etfort-could not be expect
ed to be undertaken by any Of the State CON-
missions. 1t is their business only to look
after the propagation and care of fish within
the limits of their own States. All the useful
fish come within the scope of the commIsslon-
ers's work; but be is at present mostly conhnlDg
himself to the introduction of shad to the wa
tiers of the Mississippi valley, intending to fol-
low that up, 10 the course Of time by putting
shad into all the rivers Of the Pacific coast and
the great chain of lakes. The Commissioner
maintains that the distance to be traversed by
the shad is a matter OF small consequence.
The great shad river of China-the Iang-tse
Kiang-is 8, 3l4 miles long, and the shad as
cends almost to it's source He refers in terms
of praise to the valuable labors of Mr.. Seth
Green and other noted pisciculturists in Mas
sachusetts, CoDnecticut, Rhode Island and
New York. The great increase of shad, especl-
ally in the Connecticut and Hudson rivers, is
proof positive that under proper management
and legislative protection, shad may be restored
in vast numbers to the many Atlantic rivers
from which they are DOW well-nigh banished.
The time may come when every river running
into the Atlantic may be the scene of the fish
ing enterprise aud profits offormer years, while
the we'll directed !abors of the Government
Commission may succeed in establishing new
food supply and industry of incalculable value
in the great rivers and lakes of the nation.
Everything that can contribute to this most
desirable end is worthy Of encouragement.
