Investigating he ,HtIft.r. \ watch WAS
kept upon the movements of Linda, which
resulted in the development of the fact of
gross dishonesty upon her part. The first
discovery made was that she III the
habit of purleining -four frot.t the barrel in

ried off the fl,ur being set within the bar

that Linda had appropriated lie half of :,
shoulder Of bacon, which he had cat ior
fainily Use Wondering how far she had
raided uL,em the family store Of bacon, an
examination of the barrel was mace, witch
resulted in showing that the servant had
taken from it three large sides ri bacon.
This discovery capped Tie climax, rlaciu 9

Young White Fish,

On Thursday last State Fish Commits
sionrr linghlrtt arrived here from Camb-
ridge bringing with him a large can of Ten
thousand young Whit FISH fry. which he
liberated in the mill pond at West Anwr!i
Iron Works near town. Commissioner
Hughlett upon his arrival called upon Ar
thur Mitchell Esq. who accompanied him
to West Amwell and assisted in making
the plant. The " bite fish IL most excellent
food fish. is native of the fresh water lakes
of the North, and will flourish only in clear
cold spring water. MIR. Iiushiett thinks
suitable for these fish. While distributing
the young white fish commissioner Hugh
lett made the discovery that there i, an eN-
tenSive stretch of shoal waters upon the
southern side of the main pond at .Amwtil
peculiarly suitable home for the carp
fish, and has determined at an early day to
stock it literally with the fly OF This pupu-
lar fish. We trust that his efforts to stock
these waters both with white fish and carp
may prove successful. He has also deter
mined, as soon as the fly can be obtained TO
stock Shaws creek and other culd water
streams emptying into the 0c"raro with
brook trout, which fish it is thought will
flourish therein. lie also pr"pn,tS 10 fur

served a sparrow upon the inside of a street
lamp on Main street, near the National
Bank. Tho bird tluttered as Mr.. Elder ap-
preached, and just as he reached the point,
extinguished the i,.,ne of the gas burner
with its wings. Knowing that tue escaping
gas would soon smother the bird, he hur=
riel up and climbing the iron post of the
lamp, liberated tie prisoner. The sparrow
must have fluttered into the lamp through
the bottom ventlator When liberated he
didn't stop to say "thank you," but hur-
riedly flew for refuge to the thick shruhbery
OF an adjoining garden.
