w 1 XiANCASTEK DAILY ESTEIJJGENCEB, llatJBSDAX JULY T3, i882. Hanrastrr intelligencer. THURSDAY STONING, JULY IS, 1883. There is Ne Peace. We don't want any harmony prop osition unless it is tendered overthe po litical grave of Don Cameron." The sententious declaration contained herein fairly indicates the position held by a considerable portion of the disaffected element of the Republican party that is just now so sadly torn up by internal dissensions. The words quoted are from a letter which Mr. McKee, the chairman of the Independents, produced and read in response to an inquiry as to the prob able course that would be pursued by the recalcitrants now that the Stalwarts have tendered a series of propositions, looking to the union of the party. There is not much use denying that the scheme proposed by Mr. Cameron's .committee embodies very nearly all the points con tended for by his enemies at the outset of the present difficulties, and which the Stalwart chieftain at that time treated with insolent disregard. Mr. McKee and his colleagues in the anti-Cameron party will undoubtedly be put to some incon venience in seeking for a pretext to avoid tiie acceptance of the olive branch that is held out to them witli every appearance of sincerity from a source that so lately bris tled with contempt. .Surely a change has come over tiie spirit of the Stalwart dreams when the apparently indexible senator is found yielding to a popular clamor that has fallen heedlessly upon his ears ever since the convention tiiat nominated Beaver and his machine co adjutors. We see the statement is made that Cameron was compelled to yield his well-known opposition to this new con vention scheme by President Arthur, whose keen eye has not been slow to per ceive the danger that impends over the Republican party in its present divided condition here. No doubt this is so. Mr. Arthur is a politician of proverbial shrewdness, who would rather bend than break, and in this essential quality he differs greatly from the Pennsylvania senator whose obstinacy and dogged de termination to have his own way have brought his party to the verge of disaster from which escape is now apparently im possible. For from the guarded utter ances of the Independents, even since the friendly advances just made to them, it is pretty safe to conclude the peace project will not be accepted. They will still find some way open, or make one, to continue their war on the regular organization. The destrue tion of Cameron, the smashing otlhe " machine,'' constitute the fundamental object of their course. The acceptance of this peace project, they seem to think now, will defeat the very purpose for which they have organized and for which they have so thoroughly equipped themselves. Already they have found Haws in the scheme as presented. Mat ters of minor detail are discovered and pointed out as obstacles to an effective union. iule the real poiiil in then opposition is contained in the fact that they want Heaver and his colleagues ab solutely withdrawn withont the oppor tunity of restoration. All other over turns will he rejected, and this one is not considered among the possibilities. 11 General Heaver gels off the'ticket, as he has avowed his willingness to do at any time, it will be with the knowledge that, he will le renominated when the new convention assembles. And this is just what IJie other side don't want. The Philadelphia Ercniny Tcleyrjh, which voices the most aggressive spirit of the Independents, not only demand's that the Regulars withdraw Reaver and his Harriidiurg colleagues, but insists that Stewart and the other Horticultural hall candidates shall be endorsed, as the only means of securing unity of action. This would be harmony'1 over the politi cal grave of Don Cameron" with a vengeance, and the suggestion of it shows the existence of au irreconcilable sentiment that it is futile to deal with even should the outward sembance of union be .reached ; which it is not at 'all likely ii wilL , And so the breach will not be healed. The Independents will still see oc affect to see some malign purpose hidden under the guise of friendship. Experience has made them wary, and after their Conti nental hotel liasco that no pe&qs remains save that which they must fight for. Meanwhile it is pleasing to reflect that the Democracy do not propose to depend on Republican differences, nor to wait for the settlement of Republican quar rels. The work of Democratic organi zation is to begin at once, and is to be pushed forward regardless of the divi sions among the opposition. And this is proper. , t. ih f s i That isnoudamagesnch has been instituted against a Philadel phiaelreetfiaifiFaryijifcifAjfatm;in who was standing up tilted over on a deaf mute as the car gave a sudden lurch. The fatter' didn't say .anything at the time, but the first thing he did was to go and sue the company for $10, 000. Hereafter it will be kuown that if you want to fall ona nan and mash him you have fb"payfor the fun of. this .thing. : There is a pretty loud call that is being voiced by' respectable newspapers in various parts of the country, for some Republican who sufficiently respects himself, his party and the House, to move the expulsion of the,, blackguard tioVS CHrio who -'cnfcT' prominence In' the iresentemarkable session has been l gained as tiUB'pSmdkt of womanly mod esty. Rutterworth should be bounced.' m mm We used to read' of bloody riots at tendant upon he celebration of Boyne's battle. On Long Island yesterday the orange colors were mingled with the green at a fHfcnjc tawhich the jojd-time foes united the first instance of the kind on record in this, ooaiitry. Verily the era of good feeling is'at hand when such'things come to pass, f , ) Mn. Cooper is said to be perfectly delighted with the result of yesterday,'s meeting of his committee and of the prospect of aJfairs cener&llv. Theiwd. headed hopefulness of that unique gen tleman rises to the demands of any emergency. Tiie historic interest that attaches to the old man.',Langheimer, better known by his sobriquet of " Dickens's Dutchman," from the fact that he form, ed a conspicuous figure in the grea nov elist's " Notes," does not seem to swerve the Philadelphia authorities from the administration of justice in his case which is unique at least. The old repro bate, who is now seventy-nine years old, has been sent back to Cherry Hill for a year for robbing a' till, within a few weeks of his latest release from prison, and after a benevolent gentleman had taken him into bis care with the purpose of reforming the immortal jailbird. Langheimer has spent forty-two years or more than half of his worthless life be hind the prison bars, the offenses for which be was convicted never being of a greaterdegree than petty pilfering. A mendicant at Moutreal has been fined twenty-five dollars for begging without a license. Qoveknou St. John, of Kansas, told a St. Louis reporter the other day that the success of the temperance cause in that state is assured. IiETiitNs to county assessors iu Iowa show the number of live stock iu that state to be: Hogs, 2,042,000 a decrcaso in twelve months of 190,000; cattle, 2,044,000 an increase of 81,000 ; horses, Cip.000 an increase of 29,000; sheep, r.48,000 about the same as last year. The condition of all stock is less favorable than in previous years. The Philadelphia Times says what all well-informed observers know to be true when it declares that the Democratic party never bad a more industrious or methodical chairman than Chairman Be gart has been, but the thorough aud ad mirable work he has done could not be known to everybody. He behoved that the Democratic organization needed at tention as well whon there is no campaign in progress as well as when theio is. The result is the party organization is now in good shape. Givi: the boys a chauce. Beaver, Slow art aud Pattison are all on the sunny side of forty-five. Pattison has only fairly turn ed the shady side of thirty, and Hensel, just chosen as the Democratic generalis simo, is still waltzing around tho sunny streaks which usher in the forties. Beaver is youug, ardent, brave and enthusiastic, and Cooper is older in years but "red headed and hopeful," as ho was a score of years ago. Stowai t is youug, sober, able and well poised, and McKcc exhibits no silver threads iu his locks aud his silence is golden. The boys aie doing it them selves this year. Givo the boys a chance, Fuiu aud the hand of pillage seized upon au historic city last night, for the wreck of Alexandria that remains this this moruiug is the wreck of the building of twenty-two centuries. When the man who wept that there were no mora worlds to conquer saw the fine harbor iu tho 'Nile delta he declared that it should be the hito of a commercial centre, aud iu the year 332 IJ. C. ho founded there a city bearing his own name. Tho fame of the place iu thb d:iya of Cicsar and Cleopatra got to bo second to that of Rome, aud since then many historial events have clustered about it. Bci'ausu of its envir onment of Hat andbtciiic lands tho :ip pcaranco or modem Alexandria, with its population of 220,000, hxs not ueeu re garded as striking, but tho value of its beautiful harbor far overbalanced tho lack of tho picturesque. HowKvmt uiipulatable it may bo to rati ical temperance advocates, tho fact. i3 in disputable that beer h:is become a popular beverage in this cuuutry. It is, then, a satisfaction to learn that iu tTie opinion of some eminent chemists good beer is a wholosome diiuk aud a nutritious ono. The Business Men's Moderation society has beeu inspecting tho characlei of the breweries in Now York and .subjecting each brewer's beer to a chemical analysis. The secretary of the society, appointed to attend to the woik, icpoits that more than three-iourlli of the brewers aro manufact uring pure beer. Two noted chemists, Professor Ogden Doremus and Professoi Euglehanit, of Syracuse, have been diicct ing the analysis., Professor Doremm, who has analyzed twelve samples of beer, says that he found them all to be as honest beer as any man could ask fur. All were highly nutritive. He also said that dur ing the last few years there had been a marked improvement iu the brewing of beer. There was less adulteration, less alcohol and greater nutrition. The sec retary adds that iu alt his experiouce he has found that it was not on account of adulteration that harm came from beer, but from its newness, wild fermentation, and'tndJpoor condition in which small saloons kept it. jMMi .m -!:.- rauj a PERSONAL.

A dispatch from Alexandria dated mid night says tbe barracks, houses and wind mills around Fort Mex have been shatter ed to pieces. A portion of the Ras-el-Tin palace, recontly inhabited by Dervisah' Pasha, which formed a separate building from the kbedive's residence, has been burned to the ground. The lighthouse is still standing, but a number of holes aro visible in the masonry and tbe light appears to be injured. The Bittern, after taking Flag Lieutenant Lambton on board, pro ceeded to the harbor to learn the object of the flag of truce. Information was con veyed to the commander of the Bittern that Toulba Pasha, the military comman der iu Alexandria, wished to communicate with Admiral Seymour. Lieutenant Lamb ton replied that as a preliminary condition to further negotiation tbe forts dominating the entrance of tbe harbor must be sur rendered. Toulba Pasha refused to accept these terms, aud the Bittern returned to acquaint the admiral with his refusal. It was understood among tbe officers that fir ing would be resumed at four o'clock in the afternoon, but no order to that effect was given. Tho Egyptians subsequently hoisted a second Hag of truce, and the Helican was thereupon sent in to obtain information. The Bittern ascertained that the kbedivo was safo, having gone with Dervisch Pasha to the Ramleh palace. Tho stoie ship Humber left last night with tho wounded. The darkness of night makes tho conflagration in Alexandria very vivid It is supposed that tho town is being re duced to ashes wilfully. It is supposed that the Egyptian troops have evacuated the town, as the fires are assum ing large proportions. The town is re ported to be almost empty and it is be lieved has been left to low Arabs, possibly to Bedouins, to plunder. At sunset the white flag was still flying. A correspondent sonds the following : " I took an open boat and went close along the land. I found all the batteries facing the sea destroyed aud the guns dismount ed. An Arab informed me that many hundred persons were killed between Ad jemi and Alexandria. An explosion occur red in the middle of the fort, killing every body inside. The light house will prob ably soon fall. The Arabs informed me that tho noiso of the falling shells was like thunder, and they declared that num bers of persons W9re killed in distant streets. They stated that tho obstinacy of tho defense was owing to to the fact that the batteries were manned by negro Mohammedans. They estimate tho loss of life among the soldiers aud townsfolk at 2,000." THE LABUK AGITATION. The Situation Without Notable change. There was a meeting of tho iron aud nail manufacturers of the West at Pitts burgh ou Wednesday. Tho atteudanco was large, representatives being present from all points excepting St. Louis and Cincinnati. The nail manufacturers met first, aud after a brief discussion it was decided not to interfere with tho card rate, aud to leave matters as they are uutil the uext meeting iu October. The uewly formed Iron association then marshaled its members for the first time The meet ing was taken up with discussing tho sit uation, during which it was found that not ono who had signed the constitution of the new association had signed tho scale, and that members were as firm as ever in their determination to resist the demand of tho strikers. Tho situation has not changed for sev eral days. Dilworth, Porter & Co., of Pittsburgh, havo signed tho scale, but as they do no puddling, there signing has uo significance and will in nowise affect tho manufacturers. Tho Maryland coal company, at Cum berland, has filed bills of cjectuieut, re turnable July IS, against strikers who aro occupants of tho company's dwolliugs.

Tho regular and special police are still fed free of chargo by the companies. The Pennsylvania men pro cure their meals at various restaurauts, while tho Erie men are provided for by the steward of tho tug-boat Elmira. The Italian laborers employed by tho Erio company have refused to return t J work, and work on the dock was suspended until their places were supplied by a large num ber of Russian Jews. The strikine freight handlers mot iu Jersoy City, Wednesday morning. Tho committees appointed to solicit subscrip tions for the benefit of the strikers report ed that they had collected $703.05. Tho money was turned over to tho treasurer. A number of speeches were mado referring to the troubles at tho Erie dock. Vice President McNamara stated that ho heard over ono hundred aud fifty shots fired during the affray. Enoch H. Tracey and Malcolm A.

Introduced to HfMrttaalbls by Vresiiieat,' . . . unrtteld. A Philadelphia spiritualist claims to have heard from Guiteau since his death, through tho late President Garfiold. A number of mends were recently gathered in the office of Jonathan Mi Roberts, the publishor of Mind and Matter, when ono of thein, Mrs. Lawronco, went into a trance. She announced that Garfield was present, and stated that Guiteau's spirit was present with him, but was as yet too weak to control anybody. He had found out that his theory of inspiration was all wrong, and that ho had been the victim of evil influences. He had been thus en lightened by a group of friends, among whom was his victim, the president. Mr. Roberts thoroughly believes in the revela tion, aud only smiles when asked to ac count for the discrepancies of the two spiritualistic accounts from Guiteau the one from New York representing him. uappy, ana tno other as being consumed by the eternal fires. A bystander observed, however, that the differences in statement might be reasonably accounted for upon the hy pothesis that Guiteau was up to his old tricks of lying. Discord la a Convention. At the Republican congressional con vention in the Fifth Minnesota district, at Detroit, a controversy arose over the pre liminary organization, and a scene of great violence and disorder ensned.

Aa tsoarand Usat Minutes Occupied lu Fighting Thirty-six Konnde One of . tbe Combatants Badly Beaten. On Wednesday a fight took place iu a clump of timber, known as Clark's woods, near the lower Schuylkill, and was wit nessed by abont a hundred persons. Thomas Johnson, a driver, living on Haines street, above Twelfth, Philadel dhia, and John Mahaffy, also living in the Seventh ward, were the bruisers, and Ed Hickey and Joseph McGiinchey the seconds. Philip Hughes acted as referee. The fight grew out of an old dispute as to the prowess of the men, who aro- well known in tho southern section of tbe city as hard hitters, and it was agrcod that they should fight it out under the rules ofjjie London prize ring. The ring was pitched at half-past 5 o'clock yesterday morning, and at 6 o'clock the men, stripped to the waist, stepped in aud shook hands. Johnson weighed 1371 pounds and his opponent 140 pounds" They appeared to bo well matched, al though Johnson looked tougher than Ma haffy. Tho time of the first two rounds was consumed in sparring to test each other's mettle, but in tho third round the men warmed up to tluvr work, and some terriblo blows were given by both. Final ly Johnson got a lock on Mahaffy's neck which sent him spinning around on his heel. Following up his advantage, John sou struck straight from the shoulder, hitting his opponent ou the left temple, who fell to the ground in a heap. Mahati'y,howevcr,eamo up smiling in the uext round, and the men clinched and struggled about the ring for some mo ments, when Mahaffy broke away and sent Johnson to grass with a bleeding nose. The lighting continued desperately but eveuly until the eighth round, wheu Johnson struck Mahaffy twojerrible blows iu tho face, which closed up one ofh'.s eyes and sent him almost exhausted to his end of the ring. In the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth rounds Mahaffy was sent to clover, and was terribly punished about tho face and head. Oae of his fin gers was knocked out of place and his body was full of bruises. The' thirteenth round was the most desperately contested of the fight. Ma haffy faced his smiling rival with plucky boldness, and opened the fighting by sending a terriblo blow between Johnsou's eyes, which seemed to stun him for a sec ond, but he recovered iu time to ward off another aimed at his neck. The men then clinched. Johnson came near being thrown, but held himself up by the knee, in which position he struck Mahaffy under the arm, sending him back a few feet. For several seconds blow after blow fol lowed iu rapid succession. Mahaffy was beiug pretty badly punished when ho planted a left bander on Johnson's right temple, seudiug him spinning across the ring and almost knocking him over the ropes, which, however, caught the falling man by the back, saving him a tremen dous fall. It was evident when the men faced each other in tho next round that Johnson's blood was up. His punishment in tho pre vious round had been effective in arousing bis temper. He went at Mahaffy from the start, striking blow after blow on his face and breast. Mahaffy had all ho could do to defend himself and it was some' time before bo attempted to retaliate. When ho did, Johnson broke down his guard with a left handed stroke, aud sent a crushing blow directly between his op ponent's eyes. Mahaffy fell to tho ground and some one in tho crowd called out : "You have killed him." Mahaffy, hew ever, cane to the scratch for the next round, although evidently weakening. The lighting continued desperately for twenty minutes longer, Johnson downing his .man almost as fast as he came up. Iu tho thirty-sixth round Mahaffy could scarcoly stand, his face was beaten almost into a jelly and both of his eyes wore closed. Johnson was fresh and smiling and did not attempt to punish his oppo nent much. Ho sent him to grass with a left-handed blow from tho shoulder, and Mahufty's second then threw up the sponge. After the fight the two men shook hands. Mahaffy is badly bruised aud was terribly punished, but was out last uight with somo friends. Johnson was not (lis figured. rASliCO FOUTV-ONK DAYS. Au Insane Patient Who .Surpasses Tanner. In the iusaue asylum at Blackwoodtown Camden county, Now Jersey, there is a patient who, as a geuuino faster, leaves Dr. Tanner far iu tho rear. Tho champion abstainer is Henry Clark, formerly a Phil adelphia merchant, who for a few years past has resided at Haddonlield. It ap pears that tho unfortunato man became afflicted mentally through a too closo at tention to business. His mania took a religious turu, aud somo timo ago. wheu signs of approaching violence appeared, Clark was takou to tho Blackwoodtown, hospital. Since his incarceration there tho patieuL has become imbued with the idea that he can cure his malady by abstaining from iood, and, despite the efforts of rttend auts ho has followed his fancy with total abstincuco from all food for tho longest period on record. Strange to say, tho self ad mistered remotly, although very severe, seems to havo worked beneficial results. Mr. Clark .nearly two months ago began his fasting aud continued it faithfully, with nothing passing his lips but water, until a few days Binco. Altogether,. his f period of aDstinenco covered foity-one"' days, which is just twenty-four hours longer than tho time of Tauuer'sj celebrated fast. Oil the forty-first day Air. (Jlark took two teaspoonsrul of wine, and since thetrho has taken two glasses of milk per day and a few straw berries. He thinks that he must go to heaven, and at one time he was found on the roof of a house, saying that he ex pected to ascend at a moment's notice. Mrs. Stiles, the matron of the asvlura. says that she told Mr. Clark that it was, really committing suicide. He answered: "No, Mrs. Stiles, I feel bettor than when I am taking food." Tho first four days Mr. Clark felt very hungry, but would not partake of anything solid. All be took was hydrant water. Mr. Clark positively lefuses to partake, of solid food of auy kind, evon now,' but will take a little oatmeal and milk and a few berries. He says that he is in hopes of getting out before long, and at the present timer seams perfectly rational. Mrs. Stiles deolares.that he- is:very-aeusi-tive, never mixes with' the other patients and will only speak tothoso having chargo of the asylum. Since his fasting for forty one days ho hai indulged in a pipe every day abont noon, but is not a great smoker. Ho appears perfectly happy in his present quarters, but seems to feel his position acutely. When Mr. Clark was first taken to the asylum he was rilled with tbe belief that the best method of curing himself was by butting his bead against tbe wall and bedstead, and fancied he felt much bet ter after butting. Tho experiment of fasting is not a new one in the family. Clark had a brother who fasted at one time fifty-one days, bnt died in the at tempt. It is now nine days since Clark has fasted, and yesterday he seemed quite rational. There is a probability that he will be released at the next meeting of tbe Camden board of freeholders, who aro the managers of tho asylum. 8PEAKKK XKIFKK (JEXSUKED. A J-irely Scene, fea Ike Bouse Over a Sleao I Stapber Appelate for the shlpaerd i- , V wafatioB. Speaker' Keifer was under fire in the House" Wednesday oa account of a propo sition to pay $593 to i tho stenographer whom he appointed injho Shipherd inves tigation. As soon as the item was read Mr Spiiuger, of Illinois, made the point agaiusi. it vuai u was not sauctioued by law, whereupon tho burly Robeson sprang to his feet to defeud tho measure, as it was evident that his chum, tho speaker, was about to get a tongue-lashing from tho Democratic side. Ho said that Demo cratic Congresses had repeatedly voted money to stenographers tor similar ser vices, and submitted iu proof of his asser tion reports of proceedings in the Forty fifth Congress. Ex-Speaker Raudall in terrupted him to say that the facts wouid not justify such au assertion, for the reporters who had received money for extra services performed duties entirely different from that for which pay was asked by tbe pending proposition. The purpose of the bill was to pay a reporter for work which the regular stenographer was incompetent to perform, aud there was no other necessity for an extra matr. In support of this ho preseuted a letter from tho two former stenographers iu which it was shown that the work this season liad been lighter than for several preceding ones, aud consequently tho regu lar committee reporters uccd not have been put to any extra trouble to keep up. Speaker Keifer, who occupied a seat iu tho front tier, facing the area in front of the clerk's desk, was observed to be get ting l est less and red in tho faco under this arraignment, and after consultation With somo of his champions it was deter mined to defend him at auy cost. The fight had becomo general now, and fifty members at least were clamoring for rec ognition by Chairman Kassou. Mr. Blount a member of tho foreign affairs committee, detailed the circumstances attending the failure of Speaker Keifcr's appointment to correctly report what transpired before the committeo and that they had beeu com pelled to call in tbe deposed stenographers to help them out of their dilemma. He did not think it impertinent to ask the speaker to assign a cause for acting as ho had done. This sort of talk did not suit tho friends of tho speaker, and after a conference between Reed, Robeson and Hlscock the latter moved that the com mittee rise, stating that ho did so iu ordor to limit debate. The House, however, by a decided majority, refused to go out ef committee of tho whole and tho speaker turned his attention to the Democratic side, where he was soon observed indust riously buttouboliug Messrs. Randall, Blackburn, Carlisle aud other leaders. Chairman Williams, of tho foreign af fairs committee, corroboiatcd air-that had been said by Mr. Blount and gave an af firmative reply wheu the latter produced a copy of the proceedings and asked if he had not statod that it was a pity tho day had been wasted because- of tho incompe tency of the reporter appointed by tho speaker. This completely demoralized tho supporters of tho speaker and another conference was held, in which Mr. Kassou was earnestly entreated to help stifle the debato by a liberal uso of figures when a di vision should be demanded. Tho eloquent Carlisle, of Ky., was lecogni.ed at this juncture, and in his terso style ho proceed ed to argue from a legal standpoint why tho speaker should givo his reasons for 10 moving tho two capable men and appoint ing men notoriously unlit for their posi tions. Finally tho speaker succeeded iu cutting off debato by Kasson's recognition of Iliscock. who moved that tho commit teo rise. Tho members wcro pretty tired of tho subject by this time and tho Demo crats had paid off old scores by worrying tho speaker, so tho motion was agreed to. Tho timo for further debato was limited to five minutes, aud tho House then went back into the committeo aud agreed to tho appropriation asked. This ended a hot fight over a small matter. m m ' Movements of the Iloinortutic Cliulrmwu. riiiludelpliia Tlines. After a consultation wilh Secretary Kis ner,of tho old Democratic stato committeo, Chairman Hensel yesterday determined not to call a meeting of tho statu com mitteo immediately. If occasion does not demand it before, a meeting will bo held at the Bolton bouse, JIariisburg, at noon Tuesday, July 25, for tho transaction of gcucral business. Mr. Hensel thinks the propositions of tho Stalwarts to tho Inde pendents were offered iu order to bo rejected.,. The Independents declin ing tho propositions will, ho thiuks, give tho other side a chauco to fall back into lino. Tho quarrel being between Republi cans he did not care to express a decided opinion. ' I can assure yon though," ho said, "that the campaign shall not lag.The Democrats will not halt until tho Repub licans havo mado all their arrangements, hut will immediately begin au aggressive fight." Headquarters will not ho per manently established until July 25, but Mr. Hensel will be in town most of the time. IIu has been offered his choice of rooms at tho quarters of the Young Men's Democratic association, on Merrick street, and it is very probable that his permanent headquarters will bo established there A Colonel Who Did Not Uke Bayes., Colonel II.

To the Editor of the Journal : It is gratifyiug to learn that tho menha den fishing along our coast which created so much alarm at Trenton Ixst winter, has not entirely mined tho fishing interest at Asbury Park. I believe it is not unusual at this season of the ear to catch somo very lino blucfish or even Spanish mack erel, but it is unusual to catch trout along the seashore. Possibly they may havo originated iu1 some of tho streams about Laucaster, Pa. There is an account iu last week's Journal of a very 'Phine Trout having beeu caught at tho Park. Thero is no mention of the n'zo or weight of .said Trout, whether suitable for boiling or baking, although thoro is an intimation that it will make a very good " Frey." It might bo well to htock Sunset lake with tho same kind. . .Mat.vwan. Tbo above will become more intelligi ble when it is remembered that last week wo published the wedding notico of Mr. Andrew G. Frey and Bliss Josephine Trout,, both of Lancaster, Pa., who were married at Terra Villa, Asbury Park. Ed. .Tourxat..! MU1CIDK. nin. 'Jauies V. Showers Druwaa Herself. Mrs. James F.
