Mr. Pettengill Is also scroll, but sur
rounded by oak leaves. The scrolls
and leaves all appear 10 bold relief, pro.
ducing beautiful effect. The work was

SCARCITY OF SMOKED HERRING -
1t has been observed by many persons
who have seen fishing seasons come
and 20 for the past half century that
With the passing away OF macy other
features OF the old.iine season The
[ smoked herring seems destined to be-
I come a thing OF the past. They have
not vanished entirely, although but few
are seen nowadays, but most Of those
are, from one cause or another. un-
pslatsble. Inferior salt is used or there
ia some defect in the curing or smoking.
To many q smoked Potomac herring is
very inviting at times, but most people
who purchased the fish this spring
found after broiling them that 1t was
necessary to disinfect their houses,
while the fish found their way into slop
barrels. The smoking OF herring was a
prominent feature of the old-tlme fish
ing season. Thousands, bright, crisp
and juicy specimens, were consumed in
Alexandria. Equally as many would
be purchased now il the same care
and means were used 10 preparing
them. A reader OF the Gazette
in commenting upon this change
in conditions last night said he had
for a long time been unable to pro-
cure the article he wanted in Alexsn.
dris, but had found the ante bellum
smoked herring in Washington and had
purchased . supply. 1t is hoped that
the above hint will be sufficient to
cause some enterprising individuals to
the old.tme smoked herring
next spring. 1t only requires the use
OF proper salt and some care to accom-
plish it.
