The late reapportionment Of the state

the appointments. II is believed that the
state convention viii meet early enough
for the selection Of chairmen Of the various
senatorial and representative districts, and
hence do not assume their appOintme q.
should the party interests, hover er, oe-
mand the calling Of convention IN any
one Of these various districts before that

the meeting Of such convention might be
by the chairman Of the various
counties in such a district. We suggest
that the county conventions held 70 select

Horse. stampeded by a school OF Fish.

Among the most peculiar and least known
fish of Nevada is the couewee, native OF
and found only in Pyramid and Winnie
mucca lakes. One of the most striking
peculiarities is a name extending along
the back from head TO tail, which renders
the creature so unsigh;ly that il is always
sheared by the fisherman before being
sent to market. They swim at the
surface IF the water, and in the early days
assembled the river in immense schools that
filed the river from bank 10 bank. They
make great noise when thus going up the
river aud can be heard at considerable
distance from the stream. In the spring Of

A Sea Monster.

The finding of the remains of the
large sea serpent in mari pit at Marl-
borough, N. j., was supplemented by
the discovery Of the remains of another
one. The last find was somewhat de-
composed, and only two large tusks and
portions Of the jawbone Of the reptile
we're found preserved, the other bones
crumbling to pieces when exposed to the
air. The bones found last week are all
we'll preserved, and the tusks are re-
markable for their size and fine natural
polish Prof Samuel Lockwood gives
the following description of the reptile:
ut was monster Of great bulk. IL
had two paddles well forward and two
behind, the body being short and stout.
The bones of the paddles, from their
size and solidity, indicate extraordinary
propelling power The tail was stout.
long and serpentino, but little nattish,
thus aflerding great.nid in propulsinn by
a sculling movement The neck was
long, and yet thick enough to support
the head high our of the water while
the monster was engaged in devourng
its prey. The huge jaws were armed
with tusks which were moro formidable
than those of the crocodile The lower
jaw was very singular in structure, and
had joint like an elbow In the act
of swallowing, the reptile could enlarge
its gullet by means of this elbow joint.
The act of swallowing was necessarily
slow, and the reptile no doubt would
have had great trouble in retaining in
its mouth its struggling prey if it had
not been for supplementary jaw which
was used as grapnel. This was armed
with small teeth, which were curved in
shape. AS the large jaws, with their
great tusks, were being opened SO as to
obtain new hold. the little grapnel
jaw held the struggling prey fast, and
the movements alternated until the fish
or other prey was forced down the great
throat" The only bones of this mon.
ster reptile of the antediluvian age known
are those in tho mari pits, and no name
has yet been found for it by the scientists.
