SOMETHING ABOUT CARP.-The late
distribution of carp in the South will give
interest to some remarks upon the fish,
gathered by the Philadelphia Ledger, from
Prof. Baird's report of tho fish commission.
1t says: Corn fed to carp brings in twice or
three times the returns in food that tho
some number of bushels fed to pigs or
other cattle does. The carp is a vegetable
feeder, 80 that it can support itself 10 the
vegetable gorwths and conferae of ponds
and streams. But it thrivcs and increases
enormously when regularly fed as other stock
is fed 1t docs lis own grazing if let alone;
but it can bo fattencd for tho market on
bread crumbs or cabbage leaves. It's most
profitable food, however, ia bold dry
corn that is, corn out of crib, dried on
tho cob and then boiled. About $4,000 Of
young carp have been distributed in lots
of 90 throughout the United States from
Minnesota to Texas. The demand for
them is very large. The progeny Of 20 10
u few years is sufficient to stock Gve-acre
pond, but guarter>ucre is sufficient to-
begin with. The ponds should however, be
free from other fish. Carp breed at from
two to three years of ago, and their growth
is as rapid as their fecundty is great.
Tho four-year olds in the government
ponds weigh from ten to fifteen pounds.
AS so many farmers have ponds on their
grounds, and so many moro might have
them, we think that the culture of tho
oarp should become source of supply in
numerous farmers households and be
valued source Of INCOME

Judge Bonney said: On account of the public
charges of forgery made against you in the news
papers in January at the time of your sudden de-
parture from the city, and in view of what occurred
in open court on the 18th of April at the trial of
case Cobb VS.. Humes, deemed it my duty at the
close of that trial to sugg to the proper officers
the proprety of your arrest to the end that an ex
animation of the charges might be had before the
grand jury. You were arrested and the matter was
Investigated by the grand jury who found several
indictments against you for the crime of forgery.
tilal was had upon one of the indictments before the
traverse jury. Upon the evidence then presented
you were convicted, and in my Judgment Justly con-
ylcted of the crime charged.
You now come before the Court for sentence.
lou have pleaded nolo contendere to one
OF the other indictments found by the grand jury.
That will be continued upon the docket of this
Court and sentence can be imposed at any time if
your conduct upon release from Imprisonment should
warrant it, In consideration of this fact and of the
further fact that so far as know this is your first
criminal offence, and believing that certainty and
celerity OF punishment are more effective in the
suppression of crime than the severity of the penal
ty, have concluded to impose moderate sentence
which the clerk will now announce.
The clerk then pronounced the sentence of two
years in the State prison.
