i. These piles are driven on each side
and in the middle of the river, the dis
TANGO being, if we remember Alright, one
hundred and five feet between each;
and upon them Nj. Andrew Danielson
has built the two T:.butments and the
pier: These are Of very heavy dressed
stone, taken from q quarry in the bluff
beyond, and are laid up ia cement.
They look as if they would stand any
amount of washing by water and be i'm
pregnable to all assaults of floating ice
and drift. The upper end of the pier
is built with a sharp corner in the mid
die and very sloping, and this angle is
protected with a plate of iron extending
from the bottom away up above high
water mark, which is bent to fit the an
gle Of the stone, and affectually protects
it from being knocked off by any hard
subject which may be drifted against it.
When we were there the workmen
were dressing the top stones Of the pier,

Trout Glen Fish Breeding.

One day last week, through the kind
ness of G. Cogel, Esq.,, We spent several
hours at "Trout Glen, the fish breeding
establishment Of Mr.. S. S. Watkins.
When introduced into the Matching
house, where there are twenty-five
troughs filed with young trout and SAL
mon Of recent hatchings, we thought
we witnessed great curiosity. These
myriads of fish from three fourths of an
inch, to an inch and half long, con-
stantly in motion, and moving with al
most lightning-like rapidity through the
confines Of their limited range, was a
sight well worth witnessing. Then the
food and the manner of feeding, and
the habits of the fish when taking their
food, were all sub jects of interest to US,
who had never before seen the like.
After acquainting ourseif with the use
everything in the clearinghouse we next
inspected the ponds outside. Three of
these are filed with salmon fry, gener-
ally about two to two and one half inch
es long. Boards placed on top Of the
water afford hiding place for many of
these, but while we were there they
were moving about in the water, and,
from a little distance, looked like
dense cloud circllng around in the pond.
On looking more closely, We could see
that those on the TANKS, we're really in
very active motion, and, as they round
ed sharp corners, the white scales on
their sides glittered like silver.
In pond above these were a num-
Der of yearling salmon. These were
from four to six inches long, and ex-
ceedingly active. The day before our
visit, Mr.. Watkins had taken out some
Of these to carry to St. Paul for exhibi-
ton to members of the legislature, and
those left in the pond were consequent
ly unusually timid. We saw a number
of them, but on the slightest motion on
our part, they would dart across the
pond and hide themselves in the moss.
Apparently their movement was the
impulse of a single motion, and SO
rapid that the eye could hardly follow
it. In still other ponds below these
were the trout; yearlings first, then
these two years old, and finally those
three years old and large enough
for the table. As far as we could tell
they were all healthy and doing well
and the premises show that they are
very kindly and attentively cared for.
Mr.. Watkins certainly understands his
business we'll and attends to it prompt
ly, and, so far, his success in Matching
and rearing these tinny pets has not
been excel|ed. The water Of his
troughs and ponds is from two or
three large springs, and is entirely clear
of ice even in the coolest weather 1t

The Cantata of Daniel.

The presentation of this cantata on
three successive evenings last week, with
an orchestral accompaniment, was &C
complished by the singers and musicians
Of this city, under the direction Of Mr..
S. Raymond, to the satisfaction, we be-
heve, of all who witnessed it.. In crit.
cising a performance of this character,
it must be borne in mind that the per.
formers are not professionals, and that
there is necessarily lack of stage ma
chinery and choice of costumes, which
would not be excusable in regular
operate or dramatic troupe, but for
which the audience Of az amateur COM
pany is always prepared. Notwith-
standing this fact, however, in the pre-
sentation of this cantata, great pains
had been taken to obviate these difficult
ties. With few exceptions the cos
TUNES were appropriate and the stage
machinery we'll adapted, and the orches-
trail accompaniment was all that could
be desired.
The solo singers, without exception,
performed their respective parts ex-
ceedingly well, the amount of merit &C.
corded to each BY the audience being
generally measured by the respective
parts allotted to them rather than by any
superior excellence of the singers.
Of course, the best singers had those
characters which required the greatest
amount Of effort and skill, and the
allotments of the several characters
showed that the choice of performers
had been very intelligently and skill
fully made. Mrs. F. NJ. Wilson, who
personated the queen, is certainly an
accomplished singer and deserved to
hold the high rank assigned her; but
Mrs. Mcclure, as sister of Azariah,
was equally happy in rendering the
part allotted to her, and won equal
admiration, perhaps, by the naturalness
of her acting. Miss Heising and Mrs.
A. Peterson, although assigned less i'm
portant parts, performed them admira-
bly, and deserved the appreciation they
won.
Our space will not admit of our
entering into a critical disquisition of
this performance, if we even possessed
the ability to do so, and the gentlemen
who participated must excuse us from
particularizing. We can only add that,
throughout, the performance was skill
full and satisfactory; all seeming ambi-
tious to do their best, and proving them
selves fully capable of sustaining the
characters they assumed. The citizens
Of Red Wing certainly owe to Mr..
Raymond an d those associated with
him in the presentation of the cantata a
debt Of gratitude, for affording them so
agreeable and interesting an enter
tainment, and we are glad to publish
the testimonial which appears elsewhere.

HE II GOING TO RESIGN.

In Forsyth, one day last week, O gentle
man standing in the street noticed a
two mule wagon drive up to one of the
stores. There was nothing peculiar in
this, but what particularly struck his at
.entiou was the fact that the driver-a col
ored man-had an exceedingly lengthy
pair of reins, and was seated in the hind
most part of the wagon. When the team
stopped the negro cautiously fastened the
lines to standard, got out over the hind
wheel. and made circle of forty or fifty
feet to get to the head OF the mules. This
so excited the gentleman's curiosity that
he walked up and asked
Look here, uncle, you are not crazy,
are you?'

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EN-
There is vast difference, says the Dan
bury News, in the conduct Of man and
q woman in new clothes. When a woman
gets new suit she Immediately prances
down town, and for hours will walk con-
teutedly along crowded thoroughfare, re-
ceiving fresh impulses of Joy every time
another woman scans her wardrobe. But
a man is so different. He won't put on
his new clothes for the first time until it
is Gark. Then be goes down so cautiously
as TO almost create the impression that he
is sneaAing along. If he sees a crowd on
corner he will slip across the way to avoid
them, and when he goes into his grocery
store he tries TO get behind as many boxes
and barrels as he can. All the time be is
trying his level best to appear as if the suit
was six months old, and al the while
realizes that he is making an Internal fail
ure of it. We hope the time will come
when new pant. will be so folded by the
manufactures that they won't show ridge
along the front of each leg when the wearer
dons them.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR RAISED CHECKS.
"A decision of wide interest regarding the
responsibility of makers of checks that are
raised, or notes that are altered, has just
been rendered by Judge Sharswood, of the
Supreme Court. He holds that maker
who makes note or check in such way
as to make alteration easy, or invite it, is
liable to bona-fde holder who takes it
before maturity for value. But if the
maker had used the ordinary precautions
be wauld not be so liable, any more than
for downright forgery. Omitting the scroll
the blank spaces after the words and 6g-
ures of the instruments, and signing con-
tracts or other documents in such a way
that they could be severed, and perfect
negotiable note obtained, would be instan-
ces of negligence that would render the
maker liable The Question whether prop
er precautions bad been taken was one for
the Jury to decide. Is -7es1 ss3.

How TO TREAT UNEXPECTED GUESTS
When one of 'father's' business friends
drives into the yard about half-past eleven
the good wife knows that he will surely
stay to dinner. Father is a great story
teller, and he likes to get hold of new
auditor. How sptly comes frOwu Of dis
may and displeasures on the smoothe, fair
face of his help-meet. WhSt can be done :
Work it going on according to the days
plan in the kitchen the dinner was ar
ranged for none but the family; the chill
dren are coming home from the school and
making clatter all is hustle and con-
fusion She feels that the best dishes must
be used, and something extra cooked for
the inopportune guest. Now, good wom-
an. don't do il Your fine dinner, with
its attendant irritation and 'npsetting, viii
taste no better than what you had prepar-
ed. Make no difference in your plans, but
seat your visitor with a smile and easy
greeting at your hospitable board ; and he
will feel more comfortable and happy than
though you give HIM a banquet. You
save temper and trouble, and gain the en-
i6yment of giving your friend real coy
time. a sensible person knows that farm
ers do not have six courses upon their ta-
BILE daily, and the wholesome, hearty-tare,
with good nature and hospitable cordiality,
will be tinctured with a sweet domestic
sense that is inevitably lost in grand
dinner. Smiles and neatness are sauce for
homely meals.-G0ldeH Rule
