A very enjoyable soup party and
dance took place last Thursday even
ing, at "Ayrlie," the lovely and
picturesque home Of Mrs. j. S. Pierce,
near Shepherdstown. The guests as
sembled at o'clock In the afternoon
to partake OF the soup, which was
cooked at the spring on the bank OF
the river, and which was to have
been served there; but the rain pre-
vented, and the soup was served on
the large porches on the north and
east side of the mansion. What a
treat it was to partake of such splen-
did soup-the best we have ever
eaten. All present brought their tin
cups, and it was interesting 10 notice
how beautifully some Of the cups
were decorated with different colored
ribbons, adding much to the novel
soup" entertainment. Many OF tn e
cups were left as souvenirs Of the en-
tertainment, which was very much
enjoyed by those present. All proved
to be good soup-eaters, and did JUS
tice to the inexhaustible supply OF
good soup, etc. After the soup a
most enjoyable dance was given.
About ten o'clock refreshments were
served in the elegant dining-room,
but space forbids us giving a descrip-
ton of the many good things pre-
pared Ivy our hostess. This part Of
the evenings entertainment excelled
anything Of the kind ever held in this
community. Mrs. Pierce is model
hostess, and she did all In her power
to make her guests have a good
time. A visit to this lovely home at
an ordinary time is a treat, and the
festivities Of last Thursday evening
will long be fondly cherished in the
memory of those present. About sew
enty persons were present, and all
were sorry when the hour for depar-
ture came. Among those present

MATCHING SnkD.

The United States steamer Fish
Hawk is now engaged in fish hatch
ing in Del. River, millions Of .shad
are hatched out daily. The United
States Fish Commissioner, Col Mar
shall Mcdonald has designed new
and complete apparatus for Matching
shad. and from a scientific stand
point it is most interesting zone and
las met with great success. The
boats of the Fish Hawk are sent to
the various fisheries where the
females are stripped of their eggs
and fertilized with the milk of the
buck. The spawn is then taken
aboard ship and placed in jars
through which river water is allowed
TO circulate freely. The eggs are
batched in few days and are then
trans tered to aquaTiums from which
the young shad are dipped by thous-
ana. and put in cans for shipn ent
10 tie waters where they are TO be
distributed. During this season over
8 mil ons have been distributed in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New
York w4ters. They are sending out
for distribution million day.
Now, we beg to ask Col. McDon-
aid to turn his attention in the di-
rection or Albemarle sound and its
tributary waters in North Carolina.
Some ten years ago the United States
steamer Fish Hawk carried on for q
short time hatchery at AvOca and
soon abandoned the business. Only
once since have We been the benefc-
laries of the Government fish hat eh-
cry. Some year or too since. through
the kind influences Of Mr.. Worth, a
quantity of young shad we're put in
Fasquotank River and they have not
yet reported. We have ssince been
informed that Pasquotank River was
so largely impregnated with juniper
water and that juniper water was de-
stroctlve to young chad life.
