NAIL MEETING.

The members of the Western Nail
Association held q regular monthly
meeting at Pittsburgh yesterday. The
Association is composed of the proprietors
of twenty-six mills, and OF this number
nineteen or twenty were yesterday
represented, which was pretty good
attendance, as nothing of especial inter-
est was expected to come up for action
Each of the Wheeling mills WAS repre-
Sented, except the La Belle, by the gen.
tlemsu named IN cur special dispatch.
Tho action of preceding meetings as to the
card price for nails was re-sffirmed, as
well as the action of the last meeting
agreeing to a stoppsge Of all machines
for two weeks in March in addition to
the eleven previously directed.
The stocks of nails on hard in the mills
are pretty large, but net so large as they
were one year ago, while they are be-
IIeved TO be quite light among retail
dealers. Orders have not been coming
In as Driskly IS the manufacturers hoped
one month sgo would be the case; but
the cause of this is believed TO be the
mud blockade which exists, and hiss ex
isted almost the entire winter, through
out the Northwest.
It is confidently believed that as soon
as the mud dries up and the roads be-
come settled so shat lumber can
be hauled from the railroad stations
to the small towns and farms so rs to
create demand for nails, that the or.
ders Will be sufficient to absorb the
stocks now on hanGs and alse keep the
mills busy during the spring and early
part OF summer. The members of the
Association are hopeful! that when they
meet two weeks hence they will see
their way clear TO turning on full head
OF steam and making things lively about
the mills Tor the ensuing three months al
least. May such be the case.

sIOEMiN JEFFERSON.

A special to the REGIsTER brings IN
formation OF terrific and destruct We
storm having swept over a portion OF
Jefferson County, in this State. The
storm WAS preceded by excessive heat,
and 1t burst upon that locality accom-.
panied with violent thunder and lilht-
ming. Tie rain descended in torrents
until the waters were swollen far beyond
anything known in their history, doing
great damage TO farm improvements and
live stock. Along with the heavy ialI
of water, came one of the greatest hail
storms which ever visited that locality.

TOP MILL BLAST FURNACE.

The Top Mill folks have sold S47 900 Of
their new $40 bonds Yesterday they
had an offer, al par, for the remainder o!
the loan, viz: $4,000, but as the COM
pany are st present undecided whether
they will negotiate them, the offer was
refused. This indecision is occasioned by
the uncertainty the proprietors feel as to
the policy of "blowing in" their Blast
Furnace 1T present. If the furnace
is not put IN blast, the company
will not issue the residue of the loan, as
The proceeds are not needed. On the
other hand, if they conclude to elbow in"
this furnace, then the bonds will be sold.
We are informed, on good authority,
that the furnace will not be lighted until
the officers OF the company can
get rates for coke from Connelis-
vile and ore from Cleveland
over the p w. u Ky. upon basis ex-
tending throughout year, that will In
sure profit in the manufacture of iron.
The railroad authorities are now consider.
ing the matter, and favorable answer is
anticipated. 1t Is to be hoped so, for
with such an industry as the Top mill
blast furnace in operation, new life would
be Infused into all the business in the
upper part of the city, not to say any
thing about the additional labor required
and the benefit that will accrue in an in.
direct way to our community generally

ABOUT FISH,

HENRY b. MILLER, Esq, one of the
Fish Commissioners of West Virginia
sends to us tho following letter from the
Hon. SPENCER +. BAIRD, the United
States Commissioner of Fish and Fish
cries, in regard to the capture in western
waters of such fish Ms shad and salmon.
| The letter viii explain itself, but Mr..
MILLER desires US to add that, if any
person who may capture specimens OF
the fish referred to Will forward them
to HIM, he will see that they are toward
ed to Mr.. BAIRD, and tina. the donor shsii
have proper credit for his labor:
Editor Forest and Stream and Rod and
Gun:
have seen several notices in the
Western and Southern papers during the
present spring, of the capture OF adult
fish. such rs the Shad and salmon among
others-shad ut NIcksb burg and salmon nj
MemphIs-presumcd TO have been those
planted by the United States Fish Com
mission in previous years.
take this occasion TO invoke the as
sistsnce of your widely distributed jour
nal, IN requesting information on this
subject from all who may have it at
their command, as 1t is very desirable to
follow up the history of the fish that we
have introduced, and to know exactly
the dates and places of their occur
renee, the size TO which
they have attained, etc. 1t is
especially desirable 10 know the period
during which the fish are taken at any
one station, how they were captured
in what number and of Whist weight. l
shall be especially thankful, also, tor
good average specimen from each locality
where observed, to be transmitted by ex-
press, either packed in ice or preserved
in alcohol, and addressed to the Smith
sonian Institute, Washington.
For shipment in ice esch fish should
be wrapped in cotton cloth ard packed
in box, with ice of about the size of the
fist, and about sn equal quantity of saw
dust. SPENCER F. BAIRD,
Commissioner.

LAST month our exports to foreign
ports amounted to $500 25, against
$2,7OO,2S3 for the corresponding month
of last year; but so limited Is our foreign
commerce that of this increase Of $685..
600 over 100000 was to England, and
Of the total $2,644 2G5, or seventy per
cent, was to Great Britain. And yet
there Is some improvement. In Febru-
airy, last year, we sold goods TO thirteen
countries, this year to seventeen, having
sold $89,Ii9 to Brazil, $4l,5ll to Den
mark, $50 9G4 to Scotland, $4,000 to
Canada, SO, 939 to Porto RICO, and SIS, 453
TO Venezuela, which received nothing
from us last year, besides holding al ex-
cent the French West Indies Us 400
and Nova Scotia (Sl,56I. Thus We see
that goods worth $2O4,346, or elk per
cent. of the whole, went to new markets.
This is only straw, it is true, but it sets
in the right direction.

TIE Oily FINANCES.

The following suggestive resolution
WAS introduced by Councilman HAND.
Ian and adopted at the las! meeting of
Council: "Rcsoiccd, That the Commit
tee on Accounts report to Council plan
by which all tax and water rent receipts
shall he printed under the direction o.!
the Committee at the expense OF the
CITY, and tina. each ehall have cores
ponding stub showing the subjects of
tax, amount thereof, and the amount OF
interest collected on the same, and tina.
all entries or receipts and stubs shall be
made in ink" THIS resolution was
probably suggested by the petition
OF SMITH * Co. 1t appears that
SMITH N &C. had been regularly re.
turned for the year 1877 By the assessor
and their rent fixed by ordinance in
October last At SIS. Afterwards the City
Collector increased this amount to S275,
on his own motion, and proceeded to
make a levy TO enforce this assessment
claiming tina. he had right to do so
under hIs authority to make a supple
mental list in certain cssas. SMITH n
Go. claimed, on the other d,sthat lie
had right to make a supplemental list
only of those who ssd been omitted
from the assessment list. As they had
also ceased using water after the first Of
January, Council reduced their water
rent TO 500.
Besides, it is mode the duty OF the
City Collector to report every month
such supplemental list made by him. 1t
was asserted in Council that no such re.
port containing this $500 item had
been made. To the average
citizen, Mr.. HANDLAN's reso-
luton seems very proper US far as it
goes. WHAT more reasonable than that
the taxpayer should find clear record
of tho city monies2 And at any rate, Is
il wise that the duties Of both assessor
and collector should under any circun-
stances be lodged in the same person3

DR.. MCCoSH, of Princeton, is out IL q
letter in which he says that the stories OF
hazirg at his college have been greatly
exaggerated. lie further says that he
did not oppose, directly or indirectly, any
action of the civil authorities; in fact,
rather iavors 1t as one of the most direct
means of getting rid os q practice to
which no cannot give too severe repro
baton. The measures taken by the fac
uly have been sharp and decisive, and
the Doctor says that the late lsmentsble
occurrences will be taken advantage Of
TO put down Lazing at Princeton forever

Coop calicoes At four cents yard!
This is no idle jest. It's business fact
in the Philadelphia market, and the
prices OF calicoes run up to five, SIX. seven
and eight cents yard ard the goods are
used by middle class people. Is this
somewhere near hard pan, or must we 60
on until calico reaches one cent yard2
These things are cheap because the masses
of the people have been growing steadily
poorer. A iull.grown man csn buy a
decent suit of wooden clothes for ten dol

The stockholders OF our new road to
the Lskes held their annual meeting at
Cleveland yesterday. From our brief
dispatch We learn that the portion of the
road now in operation earned, during the
year. the sum OF S490, 400 in gross-within
fraction of half million dolars, and
that the operating expenses were but
$500, 900-but little over three-htths Of
the gross income. This is favorable
showing, and is encouraging to those who
hold either shares of the stock or bonds
Of the company.
We believe the Board of Directors
chosen yesterday is the old one reelected.
