The Fishing Interest.

The fish Matching establishments
are credited with the abundance of
shad that have made their appearance
il our waters the past half dozen
years, and we think credit is due to
the artificial propagation of shad !;
but what of the herring which for the
last five years haye swarmed our
waters in the fishing season during
that time? The herring and shad
almost disappeared from the Susque
hanna for rs years Immediately pre-
ceding that period, and both fish sud
denly reappeared again at the same
time; returning as it would seem to
their old haunts. When the return.
ing school appeared five years ago,
the herring were tiny bits of fish ap.
parently. young fry, half grown.
Every year after they increased in
size till the run this season is large
and fine as were ever taken. If
greater preparations were made to
cure and pack herring, vast quaint
ties of them might be sailed and
dried and largely exported to all
parts of the country. The fish bust.
ness of Cecil might, by preparations
common surate to the magnitude
of the schools that visit our waters
in late years be made one of the lar.
gest branches of trade in the county.
Not fourth ofthe herring is secured
that could be if facilities for handling
them were provided.

Washington in Elkton.

The appeal has come up with Q
lady in Elkton, descendent of one
of the old families of Cecil, who has
furnished the following interesting
facts in connection with the memora-
BILE event which is to be celebrated
on the Both inst. l -.
Gen. Washington did stop in Elk.
ton. He and his travelling compan.
ions arrived here late in the afternoon
of the 18th. The party put up at
the hotel of Jacob Hollingsworth, as
we stated last week, with the excep.
tion of Gen. Washington, who was
the guest of Tobias Rudolph, at the
house on Main street-a portion of
which is occupied by the appeal.
Tobias Rudolph was Justice of the
county court. Here Gen. Washing.
ton remained until some time very
early in the morning of the goth, and
then resumed his journey. In the
forenoon of the 10Th public recep.
ton was held at the residence of Jus.
tice Rudulph, and a large number of
persons from town and surrounding
country were present and shook
hands with the General. He stood
in the large hall, and the people en-
tered the front door and passed out
through the door leading into the
room now occupied by Mr.. Frazer.
After the reception, a grand din
ner was partskeu OF on "the green"
directly across the street from the
Episcopal Church, where the neces
sary preparations had been made for
the event. On this occasion the Hol.
lingsworth. Rudolph, Gilpin, Hyland,
Evans, Mitchell and other prominent
families of the town and county
were present. It was a notable
event in the history of the town. and
the only reason why it is so little
known is because there was no news
paper in the county for nearly forty
years afterwards. and the descend.
ants of those who were prominent in
early affairs of this county have al.
ways been remarkably modest in
referring to their ancestors.

On Tuesday evening of last week
two colored boys were walking on
the public road between Newark and
Elkton when suddenly one of them
felt sharp pain in the neck from
which point blood began to how
copiously. They FASTENED to the
doctors close by, who found on ex-
animation of the wound that bull.
let had entered the boys neck. The
doctor probed to the depth of two
inches but could not reach the ball.
Where the bullet came from was a
mystery to the boys as neither of
them heard any report nor saw any
one at the time. The probability is
that it was an almost spent rife or
pistol ball fred considerable dis
lance away. SO far that the report
did not reach them or was so faint
as not to attact their notice.
Col. David G.. White died at West
River, Md, on the 18th inst. He
was native of Port Deposit. and
son of Capt. White, who so long ran
little steamboat between Havre de
Grace and Port Deposit, before the
days of the branch railroad along the
bank of the old Susquehanna. Col.
White was cadet at West Point in
1861, which he resigned and going
South, joined the Rebel army, where
he arose to the rank of Colonel. AT.
ter the close of the rebellion he &C
cepted commission in the service
of the Khedive of Egypt. and CON-
manded an exploring expedition to
Palestine and afterwards led col.
umn of Egyptian troops into Abyss
sinia, the expedition rendering val
liable service to Egypt and to civ.
ilizatlon. Many of our oldest citi.
zens remember Capt. White and his
little steamer, and have taken many
ride. with him TO Havre de Grace, to
and from the railroad.
DR.. VIM. ROBERTS, Professor of Med
icine in the Ovens College, Manchester,
Eng, in writing of Brighfs disease, says:
"The blood becomes speedily deteriorated
by the unnatural drain through the kidneys.
1t becomes more watery and poorer in albu-
men, while urea, uric acid and the extra
tiyes are unduly accumulated in it." War
ner's Safe Cure will restore the kidneys to
healthy condition and purify the blood.

The American Sabbath and the For
eign Saloon.

The w. c. T. U. ladies have requested
Rev. l. Jewell to preach sermon on the
American Sabbath. AS a counter part or
companion picture Of the aatipode type we
suggest that the Foreign Saloon would make
a most proper subject to discuss in connec-
ton with the American Sabbath. The
church owes its cohesion to the observance
of Sunday as special church day more
than to any other secular arrangement, and
the saloon wars on that obstacle 10 It's
supreme power more determinedly and per-
sistently than on any other American insti-
tuition. High license is the saloon in Sun
day clothes, and it is beguiling lots of peo-
pie, as well dressed confidence man can
always do. The saloon alias high license is
the way the thief and robbers name should
be written.

The Waring fertilizer and cultiya.
tor works are running steadily. Cul.

sent out by car loads every day.
Last seasons experience taught them
that it is safest to set the cultivators
up ready to hitch to all except put.
ting in the tongue. Strangers found
it difficult to put toe machines TO-
gethor just right.
1t was, when the change and ex.
tension of the fertilizer business was
resolved upon, the intention to move
most of the machinery to Baltimore,
and do the manufacturing there.
This proposed arrangement has, for
tunately for Colora, been abandoned
and the machinery and power
will all, or nearly all, remain at
Colora and manufacture fertil-
izers for the home and retail trade
In Baltimore, plant sufficient, or
nearly so. was purchased with the
site, and the city factory will be used
to supply the large wholesale trade
of the Company. The trade has
steadily extended until the railroad
was unable to furni sh transportation
sufficient to move the goods in time
when the rush of the season came
for delivery, and many orders had to
be turned away or cancelled. The
freight on raw material when con-
verted into fertilizers and reshipped
for the wholesale market, became a
very considerable item of expense,
which will be saved on goods that
had to be sent south and west to
reach their destination.

CHICKEN STEALING.

Quite large number of people
resident in different parts of the city
complain of having had their chicken
houses robbed of late. In Nuuanu
Valley, Capt. Mist, Mr.. c. L.
Carter, and even Marshal John H.
Soper, are among the victims
of these midnight thieves. Two
or three residents of the plains also
complain. A Portuguese living on
Vineyard street had his chicken
house robbed week ago, SO deter
mined to keep watch. About two
O'Clock this morning, Mr.. Barney
Ordenstein, who also resides in that
streetheard his dog barking andthink-
ing something unusual was happen
ing, got up, opened the window and
looked out. Barney had evidently
been troubled with nightmare. He
could see nobody around, and on
speaking to the dog it quit barking.
All being quiet, Barney turned in
again, but few minutes later he
was startled by hearing the report
of a gun. 1t appears that the Por-
tuguese saw someone at Barney
chickenhouse and fired at the in
truder, though without success. The
thief got away with some game
chickens, and left his hat in pay
ment for the same. The hat is now
at the Station House awaiting its
owner. Three chickens were also
stolen from W. S. Luce's stables on
Merchant street, day or two ago.
