Young Brook Trout FOR Cecil Waters.

On Tuesday last Fish Commissioner Hugh
lett sent to this town in charge of his assist
an, Mr. Hartman Hines, from the Druid
Hill Park hatchery, 10000 brook trout fly.
which were taken by Mr.. Hines and Mr. A.
w. Mitchell to point on Perch creek near
the Bar residence and there liberated Mr.
Hines pronounces Perch creek as 4 first
class stream for this fish, and much supe-
rior to the average Long Island and New
York State streams. This stream or creek,
never in the most exhaustive droushts goes
dry Or ceases to be a running stream, and
the water is always cold and clear. We
trust The experiment may prove successful
Mr.. Hines on Wednesday planted 10 600 of
the same fly in Shaw's creek, n tributary of
Principle creek, n stream already stocked
and which has proved its adaptability to
these fish, and yesterday (Friday) he was
TO take the same number to Porter'S Bridge
on the 0ctnraro, where they will be set at
liberty. The carp fish for WestamwelI dam
are looked for daily, AS Commissioner Hugh
lett wrote Mr.. Mitchell that he would drain
out his ponds early in the week. Any one
having suitable ponds or pond can secure
supply of carp simply by making his wants
known to the commissioner, whose post Il
flee address is EasJon, Md. Commissioner
Hughe;t is Il great enthusiast in fish cul-
ture, and attends devotedly to the business
of his office He is also an agreeable and
accommodating gentleman. and will do all
in his power to aid any one in an attempt
to propagate this important food supply.
There is no reason why almost every farm er
i'll this county should not have pond of
these fish, from which he could take ut any
time all needed for his family use, and
many are so situated that their culture
could be made Il prolific source of profit.
All that is needed is a little go-aheadative-
ness and energy among our farmers. The
carp arrived on Thursday evening, and on
Friday yesterday afternoon were taken
to Westamwell by Mr.. Mitchell and Henry
Warner, and placed in the dam. There
were two large can Of them.

authorizing the sheriff or deputy to search
the premises wherein Miss Nancy Hall, a
young white woman resided, on the eastern
suburbs of town, was served and the search
made by Deputy Sheriff Johnson on We'd

course pointed to Nancy and the following
morning Mr.. Eranscame to this town where
he knew Nancy had preceded him, and
swore out the warrant. Two of the rings
were found on her person, and the other
two were afterw ards surrendered by her.
The value of the .jewelry is about twenty
dollars. Squire L. committed Nancy
in default of security, to Jail, TO await the
action Of the Grand jury of the March term

A Decided Curiosity.

Captain j. f. Jones, who resides ii couple
of miles west of this town, is something of
naturalist, and takes great pleasure in col
lecting unique and curious specimens
During the past fail he secured the cocoon
OF species of silk worm, and hung the
branch containing it in warm place IN
the house Last week the butterfly made
its appearance, and proved to be the largest
and handsomest specimen of this species
ever seen here. Through the courtesy of
the captain we had an opportunity of in
speeding this remarkable specimen 1t
measured in spread of wings, from tip to
tip, six inches, full; standing with its wings
poised in an upright position, it measured
four and half inches from tip to the board
upon which it was standing. Its body
measured nearly two inches in circumfer-
ence and one and Il half inches in length.
The head was pure white, the top of the
back scarlet, the covering on both being
long silken hair, Il quarter an of inch long

improvements on the Elk.

As was suggested by the WING few
weeks ago, the Government has determined
to lay out the money appropriated for i'm
proving the navigation Of Elk River, first,
in removing distractions, bars, &c: instead
of in widening the channel. For this pur-
pose, Special Officer VIM. Proctor Smith,
this week inspected the distractions referred
to, beginning with the dyke first, below town,
upon which force of men, under Mr..
Charles Boulder, was at once set to work.
The old dyke is giving away, and is liable
at any time, to fall and fill up the channel.
This will be remedied by removing large
portion of the earth pressing against aud on
the piles, or in whatever manner deemed
best. The old pier at Frenchtown, will
then receive attention and be removed.
AS to what will be done after the compile
ton of this last, we are not informed. The
bar just below Cedar Point should, how
ever, by all means be removed, and we sup
pose it will When these improvements
are made, navigation up and down the Elk
ought to be pretty clear

it is no unusual thing for him to be recalled
six or eight times to lecture before the same

largest we ever saw in one of this species

A Bloody Hoax.

On Tuesday evening q report gained cur
rency that a cutting ARRAY had taken place
somewhere in town between two Italians.
The Sherif's Office was put in commotion
over the news, and Under Sheriff Hill and
Deputy Tickle searched high and low to
discover the parties to the ARRAY. A SEN
TlSEL reporter also made an attempt to
learn some particulars Of the affair.
Nothing, however, could be CLEANED in re-
gard to it. The following morning Mr..
hlll' in instituting further inquiry. found
that the story Of q bloody struggle had
originated from q little accident to an
Italian on lower Main street, who. having
a bottle Of claret under his coat, fell
against a post. The bottle broke, and the
contents ran down his pants, which was
taken for blood by several passers.b by, who
hurried of, laboring under the Impression
mat the man had been fatally stabbed and
tearing that they might be held a. wit
nesses. They, however, spoke Of the event
aiterward, and this gave rise to the report
OF a sanguinary ARRAY.

DOES MINING PAY?
Some OF the Men Who Have Made
MilliOna by Ii.

Some Of the Men Who Have Made
Millions by It.
The Arizona Citizen states that the
question, "Does Mining Pay p has been
asked so often that it is growing q little
stale. II it does not pay, says our con-
temporary. what are the 800, 900 mining
men of Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Nevada,
Montana and Idaho following the business
for? They are certainly not all out for
their health. While we are unable to keep
track Of all Of them, we are satisfied that
mining pays in Arizona. There are q great
many men in Arizona who are making
money by owning and working mines, and
hundreds Of others who are earning and
getting double the wages they could get by
any other kind of labor. Some men have
lost money in mines, but the fault was, as
a rule. in the management, and not in the
mines. Some have operated with indiffer-
ent success, but have held their own, while
not a few have left the Territory with
enough money to keep 'the wolf from the
door" for the rest Of their lives, unless,
as is too often the case where wealth is
suddenly acquired, they waste it fool
ishly. The late Raglan carried away
$500, 900 to California; his old partner,
]. NJ. Barney, who still resides among
us. is worth in money and stock in the
Silver King mine 50, Oo0, 900. Aaron
Mason, who is still with us, is worth $780,
900. Dan. Gillette left Arizona a year ago
with $400, 900. Dick Grid carried away
to California $3.50. 600, while the schefain
boys cleaned up some two years ago with
$400, 900 apiece. Ex-Governor Stafford took
over 500. 900 East two years ago, and
Vosburg is rusticating in California with
$15O, 900. 81. White, Superintendent Of
the Contention mine, is worth 5000. 900.
and his old partner In business 10 worth as
much moro. e. B. Gage Of the Grand
Central 10 worth all the way from 500, 900
to $500. 900. These now, or those who are
still operating are making money, and q
number 0! them are certain to be million
aires before they get through. The
Lezinsky Bros. Of Clifton sold out the
Longfellow copper mines for %, 800. 900.
and have gone New York to live. There are
CORES Of men who have made from $40, 900
to SOC, 900 apiece, and many Of them are
on the high road to fortune, and will, ere
long, have their hundred thousand and
upwards. While all Of these men are max
ing fortunes, thousands OF miners are
earning their 81 q day. and can save money
