The nos ree nnd Har.

A heavy and dense fog entelOpsd the
city early this morning. To use an old
saying, it was SO thick that you could cut
it with a knife. Early pedestrians could
not see each other halfway across the

was only discovered by the SQUAD Of the
cracking Of the frozen snow under their
boot heels and the sound of their fog

unusual to see in this latitude and longi-

On Wednesday last thirty thousand
young salmon, fresh from the govern.

emptied into the waters of the Forked
Deer, nee this city. The FISH were in
excellent condition and as lively as if
they had never known other than native
waters. They were 10 charge of Mr. B.

in ten large tin cans, and turned loose

direction of Mr.. Cory.
In three years, or four at the farthesI

summer, or twenty per cent. of them,
will be back in our waters full grown and
weighing from eight to fifty pounds. The
young hsh will seek salt water, in the

four years. and then return to their home
in the Forked Deer to spawn, as un-
erringly as the carrier pigeon seeks over

Fatal Hair Dye.

In noticing the statement that Ben DeCar died of brriu disease, produced bp over work, the St. Louis Globe Democrat says: "We doubt if Mir. De Bars over wyrk had anything to do with his brain disease. Sev- eral years ago Mr. De Bar, finding his hair turning gray, resorted to tie use of powerful mixtures to res tore it to it's original color. A prep eration of lead was one ,. the strong est ingredients in the composition. He was warned at the time that the stuff, fused fsr any length of time, would be apt to affect his brain; but he gave no heed to the warning, and continued the use of the restorative. It is vuitc possible that if the brain had been examined during the au- topsey, traces of the poisons used in the manufacture of the hair dye would have been foune."

American industry is making re markable headway in the direction of dried fruit expectations. Europ- can purchases in this country amount to over $2,500,O00 worth since June, 1876, compared with $500, 900 in the same period the year before. Dried apples figure largely in this movement. The country, says an exchange has exported over 12,000,000 lbs. of them since last June, as compared with 522,000 lbs. the previous year. This new addi- tion to the trade of the United States is due to invention, which has occu- pied itself of late with improved methods for drying and preserving for transporting fruit. Within a year some notable inventions in this line have been perfected which are great acquisition to the resources of the country. The fruit dryer bids fair hereafter to be as much of ne- cessity of every farming community as the cider mill and the cheese fac tory.
