FISH AND OYsTRRs.l

The immigration Convention had
only time to mention the question OF
Asa and oysters, bat the reference
made to the subject by the commit
tee gave promise Of worthy coasid-
Grafton OF the matter. The dastruc-
ton Of both oysters and fish is brought
principally by people that do not live
in the State and by another class
that close up "a streams with gill
seins and pounds" The oysters
are taken to great extent by peo-
pie whom the laws calls oyster pi-
rates. 1t is.a farce for q committee
to go junketing in the oyster tug,
or for the oyster navy to catch a few
pungees and canoes. We need a
thorough system of laws and a good
con stabulatory force to enforce them
and besides this a regular establish
ment for breeding fish and planting
oysters.
AS to the oyster, the French Gov
ernment has given US o complete les
son in that branch Of industry. The
oyster spawn is destroyed in millions
by fish. and it is only necessary to
have enclosed nurseries and set "gab
ions" for the spawn to cling to and
the increase 10 thousand fold com
ared with the present growth.
Let the Legislature take hold On
the subject with practical earnest
ness and there will be revenue for
the State besides the vast good to
the people.-Richmond Democrat.

Atkins. Then he went in the yard
and put Nr. Atkins who was not dead
but mortaIly wounded. out of misery
by hitting him several more blows on
the head. He then drew the dead
body in the house, and, after rolling
Mrs Atkins body up in sheet. left
them both on the floor in her room.
All this time Miss Terry was hid

became terrified when she heard the
flames roaring over her head. and on

them. They put out the fire and saw

The most interesting phase of the
case they learned from Miss Terry, the
lady who was in the house of Mr.
and Mrs. Atkins on the night of the
murder. She gave them a full and
detailed account of the affair.

Increase Of Salary for the Alexandria
Pest Master.

Under date of Washington, D. c.,
June 25tb, 1890, Mr.. Z. j. Barrett,
post master of Alexandria, La, has
received the following from the office
of the First Assistont Post Maste,
General, and signed by E. G. Fowler,
acting First Assistant Post Master
General:
In compliance with the act OF
Congress, approved March Sd, 1888,
the returns from your Office for the
four quarters ended March 3lst, 1890
have been received, and upon the ba-
sis of the gross receipts as therein
shown, your salary as postmaster has
been fixed at Sl400 per annum, from
July lst, 1890, and your office has
been assignad to the third class"
In connection with the above Mr..
Barrett informs the DEMOCRAT that
during the last twelve months the sale
of postage stamps has increased in the
Alexandria post ctiice about $500
This is good showing, and means
that still further increase in the sal.
airy of the post master here is likely te
follow soon.
