stocking streams with Salmon.

Mr.. Sheriff. of Baltimore, returned
home yesterday from an expedition OF
quite an interesting character. For more
tRn week past he has been engaged in
putting young California Salmon in va
rious rivers in Virginia under orders
from Prof. Baird. Last week he put
$4,000 Salmon in the South Branch OF
the Potomac at Romney, West Virginia,
and 10000 in the Roanoke River, above
Salem, Roanoke county, Va. On Mon
day OF this week Mr.. Sheriff put 5000
Salmon in the Rappahannock, above
Rappahannock Station, Faquier county,
Virginia.
These young fish were Matched about
Ave weeks ago from ova, brought from
California. The Matching was accomp.
lished at Kent's fish farm, Green Spring,
Baltimore county, and at Mrs. Slacks
fish farm, Bloomsbury, New Jersey. The
fishes were carried in cans to the rivers
whore they are expected to increase and
multiply, and as soon rs they were SCI
free in the stream they scattered in al
directions, and hid themselves under The
rocks. 1t is peculiar trait Of this spe
cies OF fish that when they are ready x
spawn. they will always return to thu
spot where they we're nIst placed in thu
water, thus showing fond affection TO
their childhood home.

Cribbinq Horses.

~. J. T., Chester country, Ps.,
writes as follows to the Country Gentle
man:
A correspondent Of the Scientific
American states that crihbing is caused
by some foreign substance being pres
ssd between the teeth, or BY the front
teeth growing too close together, tnus
causinx painS The same ] authoxity
further states that, TO remedy tnAs
fault, II 10 only necessary 90 saw pc.
tween the teeth with q very thin saw"
Have any Of your readers tried this re-
NEEDY ? II SO, I should be glad to
hear from them. II this proves TO be
remedy 1t IL easy Of application, and
proves the theory. as to the cause 70 pe
a correct one. Ihave two mares much
Owen to ..wind sucking" (almost - bad
IS cribbing, and pro0ably originates
| In the same cause), and, although we
6nd but little trouble from 1t except
the s,looks of tho thing" yet l would
ike to prevent 1t. Not long ago !
came across sucking colt--"an IN,
veterate cribber," his owner says, ana
yet his mother never was guilty OF tne
habit. This case makes me doubt the
theory given above, and also the idea
which may hold that 1t Is habit 40
quired by example. In the case OF the
colt above alluded to, the fault seems
to have been inherited from the father
in my horses the mother is VINO
sucker. and but one Of her eight colts
followe ed her example, although a.
had about IN equal opportunity, y
example has any effect. Ny remedy
! (which of course is only transient ane
partially, is strap buckled tightly
around the neck. One of my CORES
pondents asserts that "a cribber AWAY
has the heaves." This is not invari
, able by any means, but there Is NJ
doubt but that cribbing just before ACT

ticularly in travelling, would be iikel!

supports husband and several children on a
barren ranch at the southern end of the coun.

people at the Post Office, yesterday afternoon,

with huge disgust. Elbowing her way

live rooster under the clerks nose and babe

replied that the law did not permit the ship

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP, SCHENCK'S SEA-
WEED TONIC, and SCHENCKS MANDRAKE PILLS,
and if taken before the lungs destroyed speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. j. H. Schenck of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The PulmOnic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs nature throws it off by easy expectora-
ton, for when the phegm matter is rips a slight
cough will throw it of, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea-weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver
Schencks Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
all distractions relax the gall bladder the bile starts
freely, and the liver Is soon relieved.
Sohenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkali of which it is composed
mikes with the food and prevents sOuing 1t assists
the digestion, by toning up the stomach healthy
condition. so that the food and Pulmonc Syrup will
make good blood then the lungs heal and the patti.
emit will surely get well if care is taken to prevent

VIII divides the testator's extensive property
Equally between his son, nineteen years of age,
anu niece residing in New York, provided,
however that the pair shall be married before
the son shall have attained to his majority

instead Oh accepting their fortune and the con

resolve itself into lawsuit.
