THE SPRING FISHERIES.

The fishermen on the Delaware, North
East and ELK rivers fare preparing to
commence fishing Operations as rapidly
as the season will permit. The largely
increased number of two year old male
shad caught in the two last named rivers
last Spring proves conclusiyely that the
propagation of this species of fish, by
placing the young lshad in the head waters
of the Chesapeake bay by the State fish
commissioners, has proved to be a grand
success. 1t is not generally known that
young shad remain in the stream where
they are hatched till the following
snring, and that shad do not mature un-
til they are three years of age. The small
two year old male shad are attracted into
fresh waters by the females that visit
them for the purpose of spawning. This
accounts for the large number of two
year old male shad being caughJ last
spring, that being the second year after
their propagation was commenced by
the fish commissioners.

1t has been the good fortune of Scraps in
the course of his life to know an honest
lawyer. He was a sound counsellor and IA
very able man. He never, in the course of
a long life, espOused a case till he had as
svred himself that his client had right on
his side. Seeking his aid many years since
on an important case, so important that it
consumed twenty five thousand dollars and
some six years of time, ending only in the
United States Supreme Court, Scraps was
somewhat surprised to be told, If you
have a just cause Of action | will take your
case, but if you have not you had better 90
to Mr. naming a lawyer who stood at
the head of the profession in his locality,
and who was afterward retained by the
other side. He was once defending a con
tested will. The trial was proceeding sat
isfactOrily, and the validity of the will was
sure to be established, as the evidence was
all in without the contestants making the
shadow of a case. He was proceeding to
argue the case, and in the course of his ar
gument took the open sheet on which the
will was drawn in his hand, and as he was
eloquently expatiating on the wickedness
of the attempt that was being made to set
it aside, he accidently held the will between
himself and the window, and saw the wa
ter lines in the paper which gave the year
III WINCH the paper was ulaue, ana which
was subsequent to the date of the will. He
stopped short in his argument, looked in
tently at it for = moment, threw it on the
table, turned to the Judge, and said
''Your Honor, | withdraw from this case"
and walked out of court. The attorney for
the other side took the paper and holding
it TO the light saw at once the water lines,
and, Of course, got his case. Scraps told
all this and much more concerning his hon

KEROSENE FOR DIPHTHERIA.-JuSt now
eiphtheria is scourging many communities.
Kerosene oil is said to be a specific, and II
so, the public should know more about 1t.
p. Lawrence, a west ChaZy correspondent
of the Pittsburg Rewubhcon, writes az fol
lows:-
'.There is a family here by the name of
Light, a miller, who moved here from
Rochester this season.. Mrs. Light said to
some of the ~neighbors that previous to
moving here she had an attack of %diphthe-
ria, and cured herself by the use of kero-
sene oil as a gargle, and also swallowed
some, but the remedy was so simple that
our citizens did not think anything of it
until five of Joseph Jelly's children were
taken down with the diphtheria. Their
throats become swollen and cankered terri
bly,. Mrs. Jelly sont after her neighbor,
Mrs. Milliette, who lately lost one by the
disease, to ascertain whether it was really
the diphtheria or not. Mrs. Miiliete pro-
nounced it ~diphtheria in a very dangerous
form. Mrs. Jelly said she would use Mrs.
Lights remedy, kerosene oil, which she
gave as a gargle. also making them swallow
some. The children recovered rapidly, and
in a few days were out on the street. An
other neighbOr by name of Lusia, railroad
trackmaster at this place, had three eft his
children tak9n with ulpntnerla anu cured
them with kerosene oil. William Emery
had four children taken down, and gave
kerosene oil, and they recovered. Robert
Gillette was taken with it. and cured him
self with kerosene oil also. John Rey-
nold., of Ingraham, had a daughter and
niece cured by kerosene oil, after they were
given up for death by the doctor. What
is most astonishing is that where they used
kerosene oil, not a single case has proved
fatal. The remedy is simple, and certainly
cheap, and always al hand in all families
throughout the land. Also. George Gil
lette had three children taken with the
same disease very badly, and they were
cured with Kerosene
The proposed remedy is so simple that a
practical test should be made under the di-
rection of physicians, and if it has merit,
the information cannot be TOO widely
spread.
