MARQUETTE's BONES.
New York Times

DETROIT, Sept. 5.-Much interest has
been aroused here by an antiquarian dis
covery just reported at Point st. Ignace,
on the Straits of Mackinac. The Jesuit
records show that the most intrepid of
the Catholic missionary explorers of the
Northwest, Pere Marquette, died in
1876, near the banks of Lake Michigan,
upon the river which now bears his
name, and on the site Of the present
town of Ludington, in this State.
Two years later a band Of converted
Hurons disinterred his body, cleansed
the bones, and bore them to the mis-
sion established by him four years be-
fore at Point st. Ignace. They were
there buried under the chapel, which
many years ago crumbled in ruins.
This spring David Murray, who owned
farm in that neighborhood, came in
his clearing operations upon traces Of
an old cellar, and its location, shape,
etc., led to the belief that it was the
foundation of the old Jesuit chapel.
The spot has been visited very often of
late by antiquarians and pleasure-seek-
ers from Mackinac, and letters from
the latter point Of the 9th ult. report
the growing belief that Marquette's
burial place has been found, and de-
termination on the part Of the Catholic

SCARCITY OF SALT WATER FISH.
Germantown Telegra ph.

The growing scarcity of sea. water fish
is really becoming a deprivation of ma
tional Importance. The rapid diminu-
ton Is not only noticeable on the Jersey
coast, but all along the eastern sea-
board. Twenty years ago sea bass were
sold through our streets Of German
town for six cents per pound, and the
fish, too, were of size but rarely seen.
To-day sea bass are worth sixteen cents
per pound in New York, and those for
sale in this market, as a general thing,
weigh less than pound each, a size
that was formerly discarded. This gen.
eral contraction in the number Of sea
fish can be attributed to but one cause,
the indiscriminate use of nets at ali
seasons. Formerly fishermen to the
number of many hundreds succeeded in
making from 81 to $3 per day each along
the Jersey coast by taking fish with
hand lines but their occupation is gone
and can never again be resuscitated I'M
til the enactment and enforcement Of
stringent laws regulating or prohibiting
the taking of fish in seines.

A VALUABLE DISCOVERY.


A fruit grower in Valparaiso, South
America, writes to his local paper that
he has discovered a singular property in
tomato leaves. 1t appears that having
cut down some tomato vines, he used
them as a mulch" around his peach
trees. He soon discovered that the cur
culio, which had been destroying his
fruit, had abandoned the trees sur
rounded by tomato vines. Following
mp this accidental discovery, he found
that the free use of tomato vines
proved a perfect protection, not only
against the curculio, but against other
noxious insects. He found also, that by
sleeping in water some fresh leaves Of
the tomato, and sprinkling the infusion
upon other plants, such as roses and
orange trees, the innumerable insects
which covered them were driven away,
We commend this to our horticultural
friends
