Tho Season Over for This Wator-Prlces

Tho Season Over for This Water-Prices
Farm.
During the past week all the RATS
which arrived at Marietta aud were un-
sold have been disposed Of except about
one dozen, the prices ranging from 16 to
18 cents for Oals, 16 to 104 for pine, and
81 to 10 for hemlOck. Over 500 have ar
rived thus far, and the river has fallen 50
low tina. it will be impossible for more to
come down or these now here to proceed
to their destination until We have another
flood.
There is still about One-fifth as many
RATS at the head waters as have reached
the markets, but it is believed that if there
should be another general flood not more
than Is or 100 would reach Marietta. as
number of the mills between here and
Lock Haven have not yet been supplied,
believing that prices would come down.
Considering the large quantity Of timber
that came down the river-the largest
quantity for many years-prices continued
remarkably firm, varying little if any from
those Of the first RATS sold. There arc
still about forty RATS lying on the shore at
this place, and number of them will be
taken down the Tide Water canal-the
timber being Of oak and old, so that pilots
are afraid to trytO run them to Port De-

Messrs. McConkey & Co., at Bald Friar
fisheries, and Mr.. Harnish, at Grubb's
Bar, caught last week 1000 shad. The
fish were shipped to Wrightsville and
York, over the Columbia and Port Deposit
railroad, aud sold at from $50 to $25 per
hundred. A number of fine bass were
also caught. Some Of them weighed four
pounds.
A Havre de Grace correspondent of the
Baltimore Herald says Few persons have
any idea of the importance Of the fishing
business at this little place. There arc
eighteen shores and floats in operation,
sixty thousand dollars capital employed,
and one thousand men engaged in the
catching and curing of shad and herring.
The average yearly returns arc about ESQ,
600 of the former and 5000 barrels of the
latter. In addition to this about 10000
shad are annually caught by "gillers."
A Wilmington paper says "Last Fri

their agents, Seneca & Mahan, distributed

dent. Upon taking the chair he stated
the object Of tho meeting, for the benefit
of the poor board. By reason Of the large
bills for gas ard water at the prison the
inspectors had resolved to try to reduce
the cost Of these items. They had appointed

of the prison supplying itself with water
and manufacturing its own gas, when tho

meet the poor directors in convention and

inspectors, reported the result Of their in
vestigations as already published in the

A discussion as to the probable cost Of
taking these measures followed, in which
it vas stated that the prison pays $2OO for
gas and over $500 for water. The poor
house pays over 800 for water. Tho
members had no idea of the cost Of the
work, and on motion of MIR. Musser, it was
resolved to refer the investigation of the
cost of manufacturing gas to joint COM
mittee Of both boards.
On motion Of Mir. Landis, the presidents
of both boards were included in tho COM
mittee ON gas, which is as follows John
NJ. Shultz, ID. u. Lands, AL. Hagen, John
Miller, J. L. HOffmeier and Henry Mus
ser.
The committee appointed to inquire into
the cost Of supplying the water was ap-
pointed, and it consists of the following :
Joseph OverhOltzer, John Evans, Jacob
g. Keller, Calvin Carter, Jacob Wolf and
Amos Rutter.
The committees were instructed to meet
and to consult with persons acquainted

A Sad Solution of the Mystery at the
Girard Avenue Bridge.
About seven o'clock on Thursday morn
ing woman jumped from an alcove Of the
Girard avenue bridge, in Philadelphia
A painter, who was decorating the pavil-
ion at the Geological garden steamboat
landing. few rods away from the bridge,
by body striking the water, and ran d.
tho water seemed freshly agitated, but
the only thing he could discover, although
he waited some time to solve the mystery
of the ominious splash that he had
heard, was an Alpine hat, trimmed with
broad satin band and covered by a faded
brown veil, which in a few moments came
floating to the surface. The hat was &C.
cured. and the mystery as to who was its
owner was explained yesterday morning
by Mr.. James Newton, of No. 1869 Darien
street, who identified it as belonging to his
daughter, Mary Patterson, aged twenty
three years, who left her home on Thurs
day morning and had not since been
seen by her friends. She was married on
Wednesday to a hosiery manufacturer
named John Patterson, and the couple had
intended to live for the present with Mr..
Newton.
At one o'clock yesterday afternoon the
body of the unfortunate woman was found
in the Golfer dam surrounding the western
abutmcnt of the bridge, and the stricken
father went to Sedgeley to identify it. The
only reason that can be assigned for the
young brides conduct is the fact that she
was laboring under temporary alteration
of the mind, caused by poor health and
worriment about consumption, from which
disease her sister died about two years
since. Mr.. Patterson is in comfortable
circumstances, and was able and anxious
to provide his wife with good home.
An investigation instituted by Captain
Chasteau, of tho Park Guard, has re-
vealed the fact that the woman had been
walking through the park in the vicinity
of the boat houses about an hour previous
to the time when the painter heard the
splash. On the bridge, in an alcove or ro-
cess near the western approach, there
were found scratches such as could have
been made by the nails in tho heel Of
shoe, which led tho officers to believe that
the woman had jumped into the river from
that point of tho bridge.
