As the Commissioners Of Accounts have
made the discovery that the st. Johns Guild,
although disbursing large amount Of
money on trust, keeps no books, and simply
dumps all the funds 1t receives into the pri-
vate bank account of one of its officers, it is
impossible to tell how shamefully its Chris
tian managers have been imposed upon by
grasping and designing tradespeople A
short time ago, however, it appeared that
the excellent Master OF the Guild was IN the
habit of being "bull-dozed" out of six dol
lars and quarter or six dollars and half q
ton for coal for the poor, on the pretence
that it was worth that amount to deliver it
to outside parties. We now beg to call his
attention to the fact that the Department
of Charities and Correction has Just
contracted for one thousand tons Of
coal to be supplied to the outdoor
poor ut three dollars and sixty-nine
cents ton, or little more than one-half
the price paid by the unsuspecting Master
of the Guild. It will clearly be to the ad-
vantage of the poor to distribute the city's
money as we'll as individual charity through
the Department Of Charities and Correction
instead of through such institutions as the
st. Johns Guild. Five hundred tons Of COIL
would cost the inexperienced housekeepers
Of the Guild almost as much money as is paid
by the Department Of Charities and Correc-
ton for thousand tons, to say nothing of
the loss that is likely to accrue from the in
discriminate mixing of charitable and private
funds in one common bank account.

Shark Fisheries In California Waters

1t may not be generally known that
shark catching is one Of the industries
at Anaheim Landing. For about four
months every year the business is car
ried on vigorously and proves quite
lucrative, there being no lack of fish
on which to operate and the oil finding
a ready SALE Mr.. Ramage informs us
the shark-catching has Just begun, and
that the fish are swarming into the
sloughs and creeks at the Landing.
On Friday one man caught fifteen, and
it wasn't good day for fish, either.
Large stalk es are driven into the sand
d. intervals along the beach. To these
stakes are tied one end Of a long rope !;
on the other end is strong iron hook,
baited with fish. This is thrown into
the water, and when, tempted by the
bait, the shark is caught on the hook,
he is drawn upon the shore and killed.
There is sometimes very exciting
struggle during the latter operation.
The sharks are generally about from
six-to seven feet in length, and weigh
about one hundred and fifty pounds.
OF course fish of this size Is pos
sessed of considerable strength, and 1t
is not often that one man can manage
the caught monster. At such times
assistance is invoked. and it occasion
ally requires the united strength of
three or four men to place the victim
on terra firma. Three kinds of shark
are caught at the Landing. The Loop
ara shark $50 named because of its
spotted appearance and the Hat shark
are worthless, except for their fins,
which are sold to Cinnamon. The
Mongols make delicious soup from
shark fins, and it is also said that they
make excellent combs from the same
material. Each oil-yieldiDg shark
yields about two gallons of oil, which
is sold at retail for fifty cents gallon,
and makes excellent sheep-wash. -

An 0fnclal report on the status or
the Russian Orthodox Church in 1873.
published by Count Tolstoy, Russian
Minister of Public Worship and Pro-
curator General of the Holy Synod.
shows the said Church to have num-
bered in that year "a, 062, 06S professed
adherents, namely, 26,3O2, $40 males
and 27,759, 492 females. The recorded
births number 3,011.33S, namely,
1,534, $50 boys and 1,476,76 girls; the
marriages, 6l0,320; deaths, 2,429,94S;
namely, 1,245,305 males and /, 1S4, 1888
females. The administrative system
of the Church embraces sixty exarch-
les, of which one has seat in Ameri-
ca. The hierarchy includes three Me-
tropolitans, sixteen Archbishops, thir-
ty-tive Bishops and thirty-seven Wears
Episcopal.
About two years ago, there was a
serious secession to the Orthodox
Church in Poland. The movement
began in the Roman diocese of Chem,
when the Russian Archbishop of War
saw proclaimed that any United Greek
congregation might be received into
the National Church, with its pastor,
without giving up its liturgy and
rites. 1t gradually spread through all
Poland, assuming large proportions.
In Sedletz, with population Of 800
900, there were 100, 900 persons known
as Catholics of the Oriental rite" a
body acknowledging the Pope, but
whose priests are allowed. by special
dispensation, to marry. OF late, Rome
had shown a disposition to abolish
these special critics." and an encyc-
lical of the 18th Of May, 1874, caused
80 much irritation that half the uni
ates' of Sedletz applied to the Car
for admission into the Greek Church
After some delay, caused apparently
by unwillingness to embitter further
the quarrel with the Catholics Of Po-
land, permission was given, and on
the oath of January, 1875, $4,000 per-
sons, including twenty-six priests.
were admitted into the Orthodox
Greek Church, since which time the
greater part of their coreligionists
have followed their example, the total
accessions reaching about 100000

RUBY RIVER-ITS HAPPY HOME.

After enjoying the pleasant society of Mr..
and Mrs. G. I. Lewis, and passing the night
OF the Sth inst. at their comfortable home.
we turned our course up the road, halted a
few minutes at Lauraine, and then took the
right hand road which leads up Ruby val
Icy, spending the day very pleasantly in
calling upon the farmers on our route. The
valley along this route for a distance of
about ten miles up from Lauraine, is thick
~ settled with thrifty farmers, and our
route was through continuous lanes. This
section has suffered severely for the past
1our years from the grasshopper pest, many
OF the fields being entirely destroyed. Not
outstanding this they do not seem to be
discouraged. Plows were running in ey-
cry held, and. the work of sowing wheat and
oa1 crops was going rapidly on. We have
not seen a prettier settlement than this for
many a day. The farmers generally have
good houses and stables, aud their farms
substantially fenced. At Lauraine. which
IS the nearest postofice to them, they have
a good church building, in which services
are heli regularly. They also have rood
sehool facilities, there. being two good
SCHOOLS Within six miles Of each other.

As to the value and standing Of OUR paper
we will say that. unlike our more fortunate
neighbor. we commenced publication with
out a dollars subsidy from any soufce what
ever, and despite the repeated prophecies
that we would fail in less than three months
we still survive, and nearly eighteen months
instead of three have slipped by, and though
we have never accepted a cent from a char
liable source We are still nble to meet orr
liabilities, and by strict adherence to the
best interests of our patrons we have, IN TINS
short space of time, advanced to a position
alongs' de of the oldest and best papers OF
the Territory.
The Montana public is not slow to detect
merit, as is ~evince't by our steadily increas-
ing subscription list, and by the cordial re-
ception given our associate, who is now
making the tour of the Territory. Every
where he goes there are warm hearts to wei
come him to comfortable homes, and friends
to assist him in his mission and cheer him on
his way With words of encouragement and
that which is more substantial.
Your efforts are vain, brother. The peo-
pie Of Montana arc not SO easily "~hoaXed."
and YOU can never win their favor by derid-
ing honest enterprise.

A Goor agricultural paper is as essential

husbandrv is to his fields. h is a pro-
gressive age; new discoveries are being made
every year, implements are being continual"
ly improved, the most improved methods OF
the yariGus branches Of agriculture are con-
stantly being discussed through the olulnns
of the different journals devoted to this liz
terest, and no farmer can keep up with the
progress of the times unless he takes one or
more Of these papers. He must not only
take such journals and keep them about his
house for his sons and daughters. but ne
must read them himself-not only read them
carefully, but heed what he learns. Ihe
knowledge gained must be put into practice
to reap any benefit therefrom. There are
many who take papers, not particularly TO
read them, but just to have them around,
or because the editor or agent is y clever TEL
low and they don'tlike TO refuse him. Others
read them, bnt never think Of putting any OF
the suggestions into practice. They say
that such things viii Go very well in the Old
settled States, but IN new country like ours
it is too slow. The thought OF studying the
soil never enters their minds, and as for try
ing to preserve and improve it, they regard
it as folly. Zach one seems to have a par
ticular WY OF doing tliings--the Way, per-
haps, their fathers did-and il must beright,

sion as new-fansled, higl-toned, theoretical,

A few, however, We are happy to say, are
taking all the papers they are able TO, lead
all they take, and practice such portions OF
what they read as suggests Itself to their
mind as being advantageous. These men
become the leading farmers of the country.
They build neat, tasty homes, have produc-
tive and remunerative farms, drive fine
horses, have fine stock, and, in short, are
models for the rest Of tie community. Now,
we will admit that it is not possible for every
farmer to lead, but every ore may push to-
ward the front at leass. They may read and
put their knowledge into everyday use, and
we trust every reader Of the HUsBANDMAN
will.

VIRGINIA CITY. ALDER CREEK AND
VALLEY.

VALLEY.
From the Madison valley we took the old
Virginia road, and on our route turned
aside to visit Mr.. Wesley Rhodes, a stock
man Of some note. who is located near the
old Tw,lve-hile house, but finding .l,at he
was absent attending to his hero, we con-
tinued our ride reaching Virginia City i'll
the afternoon Of the Gth. Virginia appears
to be enjoying that same drowsy qnietness
of many other cities III rhis country, yet We
were told that business has been much bet
ter this spring tl:an for the past four years.
Though size has lost the Capital, she does
not seem to have lost her enterprise and
vim, for she now has the finest court house
building in the Territory. This structure,
together with an elegant stone mansion, re-
Gently completed by Mr.. Henry Ening, and
the large two story brick school house. add
much to the beauty and permanency-like
appearance of the city. We met a number
Of old acquaintanees whom we use to see on
the streets in the palmy days of '64.
Capt. w. IL. Rodgers we found superin-
tending the Rodgers house, and enjoying a
fair share of trade. Those who come this
way cannot find better accommodations,
and more agreeable landlord than at the
Rodgers House.
MIR. VIM. Thompson, the lumberman of
1864 still has his sign out. He is furnishing
a considerable amount of building material
at Pony.
j. nj. Herndon, who was one of the big
boys at school when we were a youth, and
ty years ago., has improved his business
very much since we last met. He is now
proprietor of a 1irst-class furniture store.
which he runs in connection with his car
penter and joiner business.
Mr.. j. IL. Scanlin we found still at the
old 0. X. stand enjoying the principal feed
stable and livery trade.
j. {. Galloway, we met at his office too
busy at law and Secretary business to talk
much, so we let him off OH condition that he
would be on hand at his Ruby River ranch
next week to show up his fine thorough
bred stock.
The discovery of the mines and building
up of Pony has been of great benefit to the
Virginia trade, and the fact that the mer-
chants here have branch houses at Pony, is
evidence that Virginia will continue to be
the supplying depot for Pony.
There are about $50 children enrolled on
the Virginia school district list, and a grad
ed school is kept up continually. Mr.. Thos.
L. Baker, the principal, gives general salts
faction. Miss Emma Atkins, the accom-
plished assistant, is spoken of in the best
terms by the scholars and their parents.
Mrs, VIM. Parkley, who is in charge of the
primary department, is also complimented
for her ability and successful management
of the little ones.
At Adobetown and Junction we met
MessfS. W.. G. McGregory and Oscar Sead-
man. These gentlemen have spent ule past
live years i'll mining with bedrock fumes in
Alder gulch, and lave sufficient ground TO
give them employment ut r~emnneratiYe
