Something About Carp.

Carp have multiplied so rapidly in the
waters of this section of the State that they
have ceased to be novelty, but the greater
portion of those caught or seen at the mar
kets range from half pound to two or
three pounds i'll weight. There are great
number of them in Fisherman's Lake, and
yesterday George Cooper had at his market
some fine specimens, taken with a net
from that body of water. One of them was
a female which had attained great size, as
its weight was over thirteen pounds, and
there were others ranging in weight from
two to eight pounds. 1t is said that these
fish sometimes attain weight of eighteen
pounds, and length of two and one-half
feet. They are very prolific, as well as
long-lived, and the roe of the large one
mentioned above weighed about three
pounds, which gives an idea of the i'm
mense number of eggs comprising it. The
carp do not seem to have taken very
strong hold upon the popular fancy in Sac
ramento as a table fish, possibly because
they are not cooked properly. The Ger
mans boil them. with the scales on, in
water well sailed, and sometimes in wine,
which methods have the effect of making
the flesh more firm, aud in other respects
they can probably give points as to the
manner in which the fish should be served

About $3.50 A. NJ. yesterday the Fire De-
partment was called out, because of John
Cooks saloon, on Front street, between M
and N, being in blaze. The fremen were
very prompt, but the fire was so far adj
vanced before they arrived that the build
ing was almost completely destroyed, to-
gether with the greater portion of its con-
tents. The members Of Mr.. Cooks family
were asleep when the fire broke out, and
escaped in their night clothes. They re-
port that everything was looked after care
fully, as usual, before they retired, and can
not account for the fire except upon the
theory that it was an incendiarism, and be-
ieved that it was started outside of the
building. Mr.. Cook estimates his loss at
about $1,000, ard has $1,000 insurance.
The building belonged to VIM. Hadwick,
and was insured. 1t was fortunate that
there was not much breeze stirring at the
time of the fire, rs otherwise the Friend &
Terry Lumber Companys yard and other
property would have been in great danger.
An alarm was turned in at 1920 A. NJ.
yesterday, from box 30, because of the cell
ing and roof of Mrs. Ryan's house, in the
alley between L and NJ, Fourth and Fifth
streets, having become ignited from the
stovepipe. The blaze was extinguished
without the departments going into service.

Unsolicited Opinion of a WeIl-known
Teacher.
SAN Francisco, October

SAN FRANCISCO, October %, 1856.
County Superintendent SotLinger, Stockton:
DEAR SIR-Permit me to introduce w.
C. Coup, Esq, who will explain his bust
ness at my request. His exhibition of
trained horses and dogs is better calculated
to develop in the minds of our young peo-
pie that true regard for and consideration
CT our four-footed friends, those most in
telligent and affectionate animals, the dog
and horse, than any have ever seen. 1t
is really one of the most helpful and at
tractiye entertainments l have witnessed.
Ny only regret is that did not find it out
sooner If you and the City Superintend-
ent can and will arrange, as we often used
to do in the Eastern cities, to have as many
as possible of the children of your city wit
ness the intelligence and good will of these
animals. you and they will get great good
from it, and the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals will receive the
greatest impetus it has yet known in your
midst. l really think that Mr.. Coup's adj
mirable exhibition ought to be studied by
all who teach, and especially seen and en-
joyed by all young people. Fraternally
yours, e. KSowLToH.

PLANTING AND IRRIGATISc.

For the purpose of planting the strawberries
the land is ridged up, after repeated plowiUgs
to pulyerize it, so as to form beds. The plants
are put in on the edges of these beds, in rows "a
to 50 inches apart, aud about eight inches apart
in the row. The distance between the rows is
the same, whether on the beds or between them.
In irrigating the water is turned on through the
bitches between the beds. The sooner it passes
through the better. on well graded land
Irrigation should accompany cultivation, so
as to restore so far as possible, any injured
plants Water should be applied in dry weather

matter. and should not be neglected.
Many plantations are annually ruined by the
neglect to irrigate. II is III the dry season that
the strawberry borer does its chief work Too
much water ia soils not we'll underdrained is
equally as destructive to the plant as the
drought.
The intelligent cultivstor should always bear
in mind that ia dealing with the strawberry he

fruit plant grown and treat it accordingly. In
early days we planted the beds quarter of a
mile long and passed the water through the
