7. A. Rohrbaugh, Esq, reported to
the United States Fish Commissioner
the fact that he had in June, 1885,
transferred 20 speckled trout from
the Black Fork of the Cheat River to
his fish pond at his home in Wood
vile, and placed them in limestone
water, where they have spawned this
season, and are doing nicely. In re-
ply to his report he received the fol-
lowing letter:
|. S. Commission of Fish and Fish
cries, Washington ID. c., September
18th, 1885. p. A. Rohrbaugh, Esq:
Dear Sir:-Reply to your letter of
August 10th has been delayed in con-
sequence of my being continually on
the move in the mountains of Virgin
ia during the past month. | agree
with you in your conclusion that
both the Brook and California Trout
can be raised in ponds and open
waters in Virginia wherever the sum-
lner temperature of the same does
not exceed 60 or 65 degrees F. The
great trouble that we have to contend
with both in Virginia and West Vir-
gina Is the want of proper protection
10 our open waters. There is hardly
Il stream in the valley of Virginia
winch could not be made to abound
IN Trout, if reasonable protection
were afforded and proper seasons and
modes of fishing observed. In the
absence of these, however, see little
Encouragement to attempt the stock
lus OF open waters with either the
htook or the California Trout. Very
truly yours, M. Mcdonald.
from this letter it would seem thai
WIN proper attention there could BIZ
plenty Of trout in our stream. Wher
we remember that this trout is thu
HneSt fish in the world, we car
readily see the Importance of thei
culture.

Horace'S Gap.--Jefferson Co.

Some inquiries have been made as
to the location of the above named
place, SO / will tell you where we are.
The "Gapn is a break in the line of
hills bordering the Opequon. where
the road from Leetown to Martins
burg passes through, two and a half
miles from the former and six and a
half from the latter place. The name
was given to it when Horace Greedy
was a candidate for President, but on
the lately issued map of Jefferson it
is called "Wageleyville," showing
that the author of that map was not
fully posted. Our Village consists of
four dwellings, blacksmith and gen.
eral repair shop, and about enough
children to furnish pupils for full
school. "TEMPLAR y is domiciled a
short distance east of the " Gap" and
takes notes of passing events.

The Cambridge Sunday School pic
niced in grove near the School
House, last Saturday, and had very
pleasant time. The school was dis

j. T. Eubanks, who was to make an

Jas. w. Chapman, gave the school a
nice little talk, and was followed by
Mr.. William Coils of walkers
Lane" (which locality, by the way,
ought to be called Enterprise, !" from
the push of its residents;) in few
practical remarks, then came distri-
button of confectionery, which pleas
ed the little. ones very much. The
dinner was excellent in quality, and
superintendent in quantity.
Candidates are getting very plenti-
full, and are working like beavers,
getting things straight for the Demo-
cratic primaries, which occur on Sat
urday of this week. If the Senatorial
nomination should strike Jefferson
Democrat, hope that it way be Mr..
Isaac H. Strider, as I would rather
that we should be beaten by him than
by any other Democrat, if we are to
be beaten, which l hope may not be
the case, and L for one, propose to
give them square tussel for the Sen
atorship.

Canon Farrar's New Book.

A short time ago. when Canon Farrar was in this
country, tens of thousands of people paid as much
as one dollar each to hear single lecture delivered
by him, and were well pleased with what they got
for their money. Several of the most important of
those lectures and addresses with other papers are
now published by John B. Alden, of New York, and
can now be had in very handsome cloth bound
volume for the price of 40 cents. Some of the lee
lures are also published separately in his Elzevir
Library, in which form the lecture on Dante sells
for cents; on Temperance, . cents; on Ideals of
Nations, cents Thoughts on America, 8 cents. The
millions of intelligent people who admire Canon
Farrar and who were not able to hear him lecture
will be delighted to find his brilliant scholarly and
eloquent thoughts placed in this handsome form
within their reach. The publishers illustrated cat
alogue 1872 pages is sent to any address on receipt
of cents: or condensed catalogue free. John B.

A Halt to Be Called.


The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun, writes under date of Thursday as
follows:
1t was talked around the floor of the House
this afternoon that Messrs. Morrison and
Randall were in accord on one point and would
soon exhibit the evidence of it. The two
gentlemen are reported to have become alarm
ed at the heavy drains upon the treasury which
will result from the passage of so many PEN
sion bills. The two houses this session have
been more reckless than ever in the matter of
pensions, and have rivalled each other in the
rapidity with which bills of this character have
been put through. The House gives every
Friday night to this business, and at each sit
ting from fifty to one hundred bills have been
passed, some times with not dozen members
present The other day the Senate passed
nearly four hundred with not three Senators
paying the least attention to what was going
on. 1t has got to be that Senator or Rep
resentative seems actually afraid to rise and
object to pension bill, no matter how barren
of merit it may be. These two leaders on the
Democratic side ought to have the nerve to
insist upon rigid scrutiny of all pension bills,
but according to the report they do not pro-
pose to interfere in that direction. They are
credited with purpose to defeat the river
and harbor bill, and to stop any more appro-
priations for new public buildings; otherwise
It is said there is danger of all surplus in the
treasury being wiped out. Representative
Tillman, of South Carolina, indicated this
afternoon that he intended to take the lead in
insisting upon halt in the pension business
if no one else would.
