THE DAILY BURGLARIES.
Two Dwellings Entered and a

lar Gets AWAY Safely.

Two Dwellings Entered and a
Watch Taken-0f Course the Burg
lar Gets Away Safely.
The residence of D. E. Snider, cor
ner Spruce and Sixth streets was burg
larized last night and Mr.. SIS watch
and chain taken.
This affair was equally as bold as
that of the night before. Mr.. and Mrs.
Snider's room was entered by the dep
redator. who gained admittance through
a window and thoroughly ransacked it.
Several rooms of the house were en-
tered, but nothing was taken except
Mr.. Snider's watch and chain.
The burglar was seen by one of the
children when he entered her room and
she, awakening, gave the alarm. She
saw his back as he left the door, and
describes him as dressed in dark
clothes and of strong build.
Mr.. Snider was awakened, but before
he could get down stairs the man had
left by the dining room door. There
was considerable money and jewelry in
the house, but, fortunately, the robber
missed them.
There is not the least clue to the per-
petrator of the deed, but judging from
his methods he is the same individual
who has been entering other residences
in the city. An imperative necessity
exists for prompt and stringent meas
ures for stopping this daily, or rather
nightly, burglary business. People are
becoming nervous over the continued
deviltry and do not know where the
lightning will strike next. Every one
should be ready, on his own account,
10 give the robbers dose Of lead if it
is possible to get a shot at them,
though from the boldness Of their
actions they would not hesitate to take
life themselves if caught in an emer-
gency.
ANOTHER INSTANCE.
About the same time of night the
house of A. D. Mitchell on East Fifth
was entered, Mrs. Mitchell being alone.
A light was burning and this the
burglar turned up. Mrs. NJ. was
awakened and saw the man standing
near the foot of the bed. She reached
for revolver ard attempted to fire at
him but the weapon would not go eff
for minute or two. Finally she shot
but he was just leaving the room and
she could not hit him. He took some
clothing which he left in a neighbOI's
yard. Mrs. NJ. declares she could
nifty the man.

THE SERMON.

Rev. w. II. Zimmerman, tie speaker
of the day, then delivered the sermon.
He was closely followed by his audi
tors.
We are not here this afternoon, he
said, for tie purpose of awakening old
animOsities or OF quickening the
sorrows which are gone. We are here
to honor the memory of our deceased
comrades to whom is due the honor Of
perpetuating the civil, religious and
educational interests of our common
country.
There were when the war broke out
foes without and within. The nation
was called upon to combat outside
difficulties as well as internal dissen-
siOns. Il am no croaker," empEat-
ically announced the speaker, Il be-
lieve that fate destines this country to
attain fuller and a grander glory in
the future and that the stars and
stripes shall never be lowered" But,
in spite of the promise of today, eternal
vigilance is necessary.
Let us take care that we discharge
our duty as patriots and as citizens
fully and faithfully. Let us do this by
attending all political conventions. es-
pecially primaries, and throwing our
influence for the best men. Let us try
to put OILY those men in Office whose
lives are in accord with the best prin-
ciples OF citizenship and morality.
After celebrating the duties of tie
true citizen he turned to the duty of
the government toward its pensioners,
and that his remarks met the apprOba-
ton of the audience was evident from
the hearty and continued applause
that frequently interrupted him. Es-
pecially was this noticeable when he
showed how the soldiers widow was
put on an allowance of S12 month,
when, with her husband living to draw
the pension, he received $40.
He closed with an appropriate and
eloquent tribute to the dead defenders
who sleep beneath carpets of green in
a thousand battlefelds and cemeteries.
Rev. NJ. C. Platz offered the closing
prayer and the quartette sang another
selection, after which the audience
was dismissed with the benediction.

A BOY RIDER.
The ''Graphic's" Story of a Utah
Lad.

John w. Young Of Salt Lake City
was met to day in company with a
bright faced sturdy lad of II years o,
so. 1t was his son. who had just ar
rived from Salt Lake, and about whose
horse. back exploit of few days ago
his father is quite proud. The lad has
been staying with his aunt and had q
horse which he was permitted to ride
as much as he pleased. He has another
aunt living at Provo, fifty miles from
Salt Lake. One morning he remarked
at the breakfast table that he guessed
he would ride over to Provo during the
day. The remark was so quietly made
that nothing was thought of it, but at
night he was missing. and there was
some little inquiry for him. which
might have continued further bat for a
telephone message being received
from Provo saying he was there. The
Provo relatives announced that he was
pretty tired, and wanted to know if he
should be sent back on the cars, adding
that he preferred to ride horseback.
His aunt at Salt Lake, thinking to cure
him of such pranks, told them to let
him have his own way, and next night
he was in Salt Lake to supper, having
made the return with less fatigue than
the first one. THAT is the kind of boy 8
we have out in Utah F" said Mr.. Young,

QUE YOUNG SHAD.
What Mr.. McDanald has to Say
of hem

To the Editor of THE GERALD:
On the 18th of December last. 1 for.
warded by express, to Hon. Marshal
Mo Donald the young shad caught il
Utah Lake, for Identification beyonc
a peradventure. The subjoned letter
from the commissioner on the subject
OF inter-meuntain shad raising, will,
think be very interesting reading tc
those who are interested in this direc-
ton. am of the opinion that in view
OF the TACT of Utah Lake being almost
surrounded with salt marshes, the
drainage from which will produce the
necessary foof-in quality and quantity
for the healthy development of the
shad. The same may be said of the
Bear Lake and Bear River waters. So
mote it be. A. M. MUssER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January 20, 1880
a. M. Musser, Esq, Actins Fish Com
missioner. Salt Lake City, Utah:
Dear Sir-The specimen of shad from
Utah Lake, forwarded by you, reached
US safely, in good condition. By COM
parison with specimens of the same size
in the National Museum collection, the
age of which was know, l am inclined
to think that the specimen sent is from
the lot planted in June last; and the
size which 1t has attained would in
dictate that the conditions for growth
are at least as favorable in the fresh
waters tributary to Great Salt Lake as
in the Potomac River, from which the
specimens with which comparison was
made were taken. l think the expert
ment is successful, so far as it demon
strates favorable conditions for the
shad during their fresh.Water life.
Before we can consider the acclimation
an accomplished fact, il will be neces-
sary to demonstrate that there is suffi :
cient life in the salt water to maintain
the fish during their occupation of the
same. l am disposed to think it Que:.
tionable whether there be a sufficient
food supply in the salt water for the
growth and maturity of any large
number of shad, for the following
reason:
The Great Salt Lake was undoubtedly
once fresh-water lake, and probably
inhabited by fauna and fora similar
to that now existing in Utah Lake. As
1t by degrees became salt from the
drainage and evaporation, only those
fresh-water forms existed which were
able to stand the extreme alienation
in environment to which they were
subjected. The basin being land locked
of course there was no opportunity for
the immigration of salt water life into it
when it became adapted to it.
To guarantee success. it will. think,
be necessary for US to transfer from the
Atlantic or Pac fic Coast the marine
forms of life which constitute the food
of the shad In salt water, and with them
the marine plants upon which they
feed at least during the earlier stages
of their existence This will be at
tempted IN conjunction with the ship
ment of an additional lot of shad to the
Salt Lake basin during the coming
season. You may rest assured that no
effort will be spared to establish all the
conditions necessary for the growth
and multiplication of the shad in the
Salt Lake basin.
Very Truly Yours,
NJ. MCDONALD,
Commissioner.
