this week. 1t is a good showing, and
people can see. where every cent of
their money went to, and what it
takes to keep the county affairs going.
In its publication the Court saved
nearly 800 by exercising the judg-
ment and prudence any business man
would in transaction of his own.
Where such system prevails, and it
should in all things with which the
public is connected, there is no chance

GERMAN CARP
A Growing Interest TN the Culture of
the Food Fish.


Much interest is being taken by the far
MFRS of this county in the culture OF carp.
There are about one hundred ponds through
out WestmOreland and the number ia rapid
Iv increasing. There is no reason why eve
~ farmer in the county should not have a
pond on his premises for the culture of these
food fish OF rapid growth. With pond of
ordinary size, in the course of two years
farmers may have fresh fish constantly on
hand, in quantities sufficient for their own
consumption and to sell Carp with which
to stock ponds can be purchased from sue
cessfuI propagatOrs in this county OF they
may be procured without cost, other than
expTessage and vessels, upon application to
the State Fish Commissioners, Mr.. John
Gay. of this place, being one of them.
There are three varieties of carp: /, the
scale, or true carp; 2 the mirror carp; 3, the
leather carp. In Germany, where the fish
originated, the scale carp is principally
raised and preferred as being the best fla
vorcd, though really all are excellent. The
scale carp is the only true carp, and the 9th
or two are bybrdS of some other fish and
the scale carp. In some of the rivers of
Kentucky and other States there are small,

ermen in the market under the name of
carp. but they have very little resemblance
to the true carp. The American food carp
which have been so extensively distributed
throughout the country, are hatched from
progeny of the German carp referred to.
Some of them are developing types far 50
perior to the German carp, while others are
J comparatively worthless. Carp culture iu
! Germany does not at all compare with OuI

American food carp are quite different from
| the German carp. They only hibernate
here in the coldest Iatitudes. 10 Pennsylva

The growth depends largely upon the con-

supreme urtpeciston.

Below will be found the opinion Of the
Supreme Court, sustaining the decision of
Judge Johnston in the matter of the petition
of Jnsept Gutwald, Burgess of EbeBsburg
borough, in relation to school directors and
in accordance with that decision each ward
OF the borough will hereafter 5e entitled, as
II should, to elect its own school directors
II IS not denied that the borough of Fbens
burg is subject to the general borough law
of April g. 1851. The 26'h section of that
act fixed the number of school directors in a
borough at six and directed that they should
be elected under the provisions of the laws
regulating common schools.
They were so elected upon a general tick
ct until the decree of the court below, made
in January last. tfat each ward in said Dor
ouph should elect one school director.
This action of the court was clearly war
ranted bv the act of May 18th, 1884, p J..
-159 and its supplements Of February 10Th,
1888 p. L. page 5, unless there is some
other controlling legislation.
It was cantended on behalf Of the plain
tiff In error, .hat the act of Nav 1st, 1861
entitled IAN Act 90 Divide the Borough of
Ebensburg iDts Two Wards" was such leg
islation that said act was local and special ],
ard under all the authorities was not re
bealed by the general act OF 1874, and its
supplement OF 1888.
The object of the oct Of 1861 was merely
to divide the borough into two wards. 1t
granted no powers and prescribed no duties
I'm regard to the election of school directors /;
all this vas regulated al the time by the
general law all that the act OF 1861 did was
10 declare that its passage did not distuI b
these matters they should remain as here
tofore.
We are clearly Of the opinion that the
borough comes within the act OF 1874. and
its supplements. 1t follows that the harmed
Judge below committed no error in making
the order of January 9th, 1885, and the said
order is affirmed.
