The g'nnite-steal WIS yester.1ay executed
by tho Doard Of County Commissioners-a
clear steal Of $50, 600 on its face, since the
contract to furnish tho grauite work Tor tho
Cou1t-TIo was awarded to HtxspA1E nt a
sum $50, in excess of the proposals OF
other and perfectly responsible bidders.
Tho latter, however, were not in partnership
with the Ring majority Of tho Commits
sionora; had made no arrangements to ii.
vide the profits Of tho contract; had con-
tributed no money for RouNTnEa to
take 10 Springfield aud lobby against
the passage Of tho bill to legis1ato
the present thieves out Of Office. Upon
the aimay pretoxt that tho Doard did not
consider Mr. GowAH a perfectly responsible
bidder tic contract Is awarded to H1ssDALE
at price SEQ, 900 above GowAn's proposal,
although the hitler expected to 1unko sec, 600
out Of the contract At his figures. This
mntter Of responsibility is tho stereotypcd
excuse Of tho Ring robbors for p1undoring
the Taxpayers, tho cover for all their big
stealings. Tho public have como to nndcr-
stand perfectly That whom tho Ring majorit,
object to a bidder on tho score Of his TO-
aponsibi]ity it is another way of saying TINT
he has not fixed things with PEn1o1Ar.

The Cranberry fishing shore, situated on
the Chesapeake Bay, is an excellent fishery
and a very pleasant place to visit on a warm
day. 1t has been for some years past re-
sort for Maying parties, the number OF
visitors increasing each year. Tuesday
being the first day of the month, the beach
at an early hour was alive with men, women
and childl en-, from Middetown, Warwick
Ceciton, Chesapeake City, and our own
neighborhood-a wearing pleasant coun-
tenanceS, bright with the anticipatjons of
a delightful day. But alas 80 the best laid
plans of mice and men, &c. They were
deprived the pleasure of seeing the fisher
men make haul, owing to the high winds
which blew off the bay, causing men clad
i'll their warm ulSters to SILVER: those less
comfortably clad looked pitiful. The low
ers of dancing were becoming enthusiastic
over having a dance, when the shower came
up that dampened their ardOr as well as
their clothes. The only amusement, eX-
cept one game of croquet, was walking the
beach, which soon grew monotonouS, and
they started for home, a most thoroughly
disguised and disappointed party. One
fact-there was no fighting, though some
were under the influence of whiskey.

THE WHITE FISH OF SUPERIOR.

4 Delicious Fsh-Hard to Catch-THeir
Proroking Ways-Ho'c they are Taken
and those tctO can do 1t.
| gave your readers some account of
fascinating and delightful trout fishing trip
on the head waters of Lake SUPERIOR
While these trout are undoubtedly, in many
respects, far superior to any fresh water
fish we have, yet there are other varieties
in these waters, which are, by many lovers
of good fish, regarded as highly for table
use, us the celebrated salato foatanais
Among these are the far famed white fish
which iuhabit these waters in countless
numbers, and are highly priced as lus-
cious table variety. They are not as beau
tiful as the trout, nor do they afford fisher
men the sport that these briliantly-colore
inhabitants OF the deep pools and rapids
give, but they are certainly luscious when
properly prepared for the table. Our main
work was with the trout, except when gath
cred about the beautiful table of the steam
ers. We saw these fish in numberless guam
titles, buJ were not able to catch a single
specimen. We encountered more of them
on our way home. When enroute from
Duluth to Detroit, on the staunch little
steamer Mantstee, we stopped at Eagle
Harbour 10 load up some copper. This
being very heavy freight, it required a long
time to take it aboard, and we wandered
along the beautiful shores of the pictur-
esque "Gtchie Ounce " with our fishing
tackle, to try and tempt some of the many
white fish which lay in sight on the bottom
or laZily swan along as if surveying with
critical eye the strangers from another
shore, to taste our deceptive bait. But
they will scarcely even touch it, and we
were utterly unsuccessful although we
could actually scratch their backs and
noses with the hook. | have leaned over
the vessels side and let my line down
twenty or thirty feet to the bottom of the
lake, where, without a grain Of exaggera
ton, three or four hundred of these mag
niticent fish lay lazily surveying the huge
form Of our vessel aud rubbing their noses
against her copper keel, and they would
survey the bait with the most aggravatng
GOODNESS and then make off to seek new
pleasures in their ever-varying sub marin.
world. And yet they are not lazy fish, like
the sucker, but run and dart aud play with
great energy. They are, to use term de-
