floating at the masthead of his vessel as she sailed
mp the harbor The officers Of the Orient first lC-
fused TO comply with the request of the custom
officers, who boarded the vessel as she came to
anchor, hut finding that fine Of $500 which the
law provides, can be imposed on any vessel for
floating an improper flag on board an English
registered vessel, they hauled the fag down. The
captain demonstrated. and said he had tloated
the fs- in British ports, right under th. nose Of
two British men-of-war. without having a word
ssid 20 him. The government have decided not 10
impose fine, IS it would raise every Irishman in

ASSERTING THE CARR.
A Great Day at New Providence When They
Drained the Fish Ponds.

Drained the Fish Ponds.
Several hundred people were at New ProVi-
dence yesterday to see the carp taken from
the ponds of Hiram Peoples. Among the
number were many Lancaster folks Mr..
Peoples is an extensive raiser Of carp and has
quite number of ponds, Two of these are
situated near the Quarryvi'e railroad Just
north of the village of New Providence, and
from these the fish were taken. \ number
of other ponds are south of the village. The
object in removing the fish was to separate
the large carp or spawners from the smaller
of the tribe in order to prevent the latter
from eating the spawn.
The water was started to run from the
ponds in the morning, and alter dinner the
work of removing the fish began. The large
carp were first taken out with nets There
were about thirty oi tremendous size the
largest weighed IL : pounds, and measured Is
inches in length. After the big fish had
been taken out about p 900 small fry, rang
ing in size from one inch to four and nall
inches in length we're captured. The small
fish were placed in other ponds and the
large ones were afterwards placed back in
their old quarters. The middle sized fish
are Kept in separate ponds from the very
small and large ones.
The scene at the pond was very Interesting,
and when the large fish were taken out there
was considerable excitement. The folks who
went to see the removal were very hOspita-
bly, entertained by Mr.. Peoples who gave
them an excellent dinner. Among those
present were District Attorney Candidates
Weaver and RsnUhl Representative
Brosius; Manor Statesman John Ii. Lands
aud others.
