SOME OPINIONS.

The denomination of Mr.. Smyth for Super
intcndcnt of the Insurance Department by the
Governor, is in perfect keeping with the prin.
clple on which the Republican party is now
run, and that i, utter contempt orpuslic opin-
ion.
Mr.. Smylh is not considered, so far as we
can judge, by any large number of persons in
either political party fit for the place. But it
serves Mr.. Cnnklings purpose To have him re-
tanned in office. Gov. Cornell was made by
Mr. Conkling. and, fully recognizing his pO-
itical maker, executes his willy. Y. Sun.
The audacity of Governor Cornell in send

Smyth for Superintendent OF the Insurance

CHAPTER VII.

description eff the country between llillsboro

miles 1t was Il beautiful gradual descent with
alternate cleared fields and strips OF lovely
woodlands, then comes long ascent of mile,
gradual descent INTO the village of Bcallcsvlllc
then live flourishing, bu. now quite dead
town, with little except local travel and trade
then a succession of beautiful asCcnts and
timber or woods, and then it wound around in
a succession Of curves by flowing fountains
and dashIng cascades until the wider hill was
reached-thcn came lovely sight, Just below
them the deep, blue river OF clear mountain
water and for eleven miles on either bank q
row Of cottages with here and there an impos
ing edihcc, while in the distance were lofty
hills covered with well cultivated farms and
substantial houses amid profusion of locust
trees, that grew in that soil to an immense
size and great perfection Of lcauty.
Soon we arrived in West Brownsville, and
then ride across the Monongahcla, over the
as it Is called thence up the long hill to the
Workman Hotel, a large, convenient hostclry
with an inviting, broad piazza in front.
Mr.. Ward seemed delighted with the after
moons ride, and Julia was IN raptures. Mrs
Woodford occasionally leaned from the coach
window and pvprgpb wi hr,, all

A BIG FISH PRESERVING HOUSE TO BE
ERECTED AT GLOUCESTER CITY.
Philadelphia Record.
Those people who wondered when
they saw awberries exposed on the
streets for sale in January are likely TO
open their eyes still wider in the latter
part of the summer and autumn, when
fresh shad is likely to be obtainable at
the fish stalls on the wharves. Opera
tiOns are shortly TO he commenced at
Gloucester City on large fish preserv-
ing home, consisting Of freezing room,
ice houses and store building, in which
shad may be kept IN fresh state all TIE
year round. The process by which this
is accomplished Is the invention of Mr..
David w. Davis, of Detroit, Mich. Tie
fish as they are taken out of the water
are thrown into galvanized tub half
the size and resembling IN shape an
ordinary barrel. Over each layer of fish
Is placed pile of pulverized Ice.
When the tub is filled wooden
plug is inserted in the top and the tub
is turned upside down and imbedded
in bin of ice and salt. This reduces
the contents to the temperature OF
zero, and when the tubs are taken out
and emptied nothing but large cake
of ice is visible: all the fish being in
the centre. These frozen cakes are
then placed in wooden casks and
slowed away in a freezing house,
where the temperature is kept at D
above zero. By this means shad,
which, after the closing of the fisheries
on June 10, the date fixed by law, is
at a discount, can be obtained in a
fresh condition at any time during the
year A stock companion, with a
capital of $500, 900 has been formed to
canduct the business, it ami is cal
culated that 100, 000 shad will be put
up during the presentseason.
