STRENGTH OF THE ASSOCIATION. Al this time there was a number of subserib- ers whore contrac's had nearly expirei, and within a few days after the association was organized two hundred and ninety-thrce of these notices declining to renew contracts nad been filled out ani sent to the company, and With those since sent in it ts estimated that fully three-fourths of the professional and b. ness men using the telephone have given such notice. The original contracts were in the Bature of a lease for a year at 6, and these are how expiring. As fast as th xpire the tn- struments are beln< removed from the prem: Of the lessee. A CLAUSE IN THE NEW CONTRACT. About the frst of January last tne company included tn their contract a clause, evidently fa contemplation of the lows:—“The compaty shall have the right at any time to change ibe rate of Its compensation to a specific charge for each use of the instrum nts leased, or fo modify and change in any otner way the ameunt and the system of compensatijn pro- provided, that such modiil :a- shall be made at the end ofa Ex and upon at least thirty days written notice to the subseriber,who shill have the right to surrender the tnstruments at the end of the month and terminate this contract. But if tue subscriber shail oot, within twenty days after recetving such notice, advise the company In writing of his refusal ‘to accede to ‘the change, he shail be held to have assented to. it. And in case of such notification by the com- pany to any subscriber who shall have patd ta aavance for the use of the instruments for a term extending beyond the end of the month when the charge Is to take effect,the portion of Buch payment corresponding to ‘the unexpired Part of such term shall be credited to htm on account If he accept the new rates, or shall be returned to him if he rejects them. and has io Other respects complied with this agreement.” WHAT MANAGER MAYNARD STs. Mr. Maynard, the manager of the company, States that there Is no falling off In the busi- Ress, and that although some instruments have been removed, the demand by new subscribers keeps up the list to about the original numer.

Linville, Esq., President ef the Southern Maryland Railroad Company: Dear Six: The current pubjication of gro3s and slanderous misrepresentations touching the Southern Maryland Railroad Company, originating as they do, In a source whose apec- ulative motives are as transparent as they are disreputable, renders the following statement of facts, at once, a matter of justice to the Com- pany and of propriety to the public, whom !t ks the purpose of these misrepresentations to lecelve. In the first place it {s to be observed that the claim of every judgment creditor of the Souta- em Maryland Raliroad Company. with the Single exception of a judgment for #250, and in- elusive of the claim which 1s reyreséated by the judgment tn favor of Starr & Kdenour for $5,000, has been fully and flaaliy settled elther In cash or first mortgage coupon bonds of the Compapy. The exception alluded ‘o 1s In pro- cess of instant settlement. In thé next plage, every bona-fide simple con tract or other debt of the Company, not reduced to judgment, has been fully discharged by first mortgage coupon bonds of the company. Again, the only mortgages existing won your road are the mortgages which have been exe- cuted and recorded during the current year (i851) to secure the existing issues of first and Second mortgage bonds, respectively, the one amounting to the par ‘value of $1,600,000, the other to $500.00. ‘The preceding Issues of ponds have been retired and destroyed, and the mort- gages by which they were secured, have Decn Telensed, a8 appears by the certificates of the clerks of the courts of the three counties 'trough whiten the road passes.

Ball was before Examiner Lovejoy as a wit ness for Mr. Christlancy tu his suit against nis wife for a divorce on the ground of her tnfldell- ty to her marriege vows, Ivhaving been cur- rently reported that Dr. Bali had acted as the egentot Mr. Christlancy tn receiving rem {un ces from bim and disbursing th «mpicyed to watch Mrs. Christ it was expected that his testimony would bé vi1y damaging, but to the surprise of ail tht even yesterday was tame as compared wit. \ bat was expected. it related altogether .o ot he saw December 24th and 25(h, 1s79. H's tateToent was tn brlef that he saw Mrs. Chri cy and Miss Meloy meet Edt Giro on the of acon of he 24th, anda tera few minu'es Ccuversation with Giro the latter went to te St. dem es Hotel, and the ladles to Mra, Chris teney’s, No. 311 D street; thaton the fo!lo-v- ing day he saw a Carriage stop ab ber hose, when a lady got In and weni to the Sc. Jams Hotel, and that Giro and the lady entered th house. He did not sce the lady’a face, and therefore could not swear that it was Mrs. Christiancy. HOW DR, BALL IS TO BE CROSS- QUESTIONED. It Is expected that on cross-examimation Dr. Ball will be questioned as to the amount of Inoney received from Christiancy, to whom 1t Was. paid, how long he (Ball) was engaged tn watching her, whether it was nol contem- plated to mix politics in the case by connect- ing the names of promineat democratic. mem- bers with Mrs, Christiancy’s; apd asto bis ac- quaiptance with Giro, and whether or not he did not understand that Giro Was in the em- ploy cf Mr, Christiancy. - IT 1! iS INTIMATED NOW that Mrs. Christiancy will not take advantage of any technicalities nor make any motion at ‘this Ume, but that as soon as the evidence for the prosecution Js closed her counsel will pro- ceed with the testimony and disprove the material allegations of the bill, and they will also show that there was a connection between Ball and Giro on a letter of introduction from Mr. Christlancy, and that a woman was pro- cured to perronate Mrs. Christiancy, and, in tact, that the whole affair is a put up job.

PROSPECTS OF A GOOD SEASON—GETTING READY FOR WORK. The indications about the river front are that the fishing business 1s to be opened early and pursued with vigor, Already the fisher- men areon the alert and are preparing their eeines and nets, and the impressions seem to be general that the season will be a good one, ‘Yesterday three fine shad was sent up theriver and about 500 herrings are arriving datly at the fish wharf. These latter are very large and lump, and are sold at fancy prices. Mr. Sut- np, Inspector of marine products, states tha’ he never saw finer specimens of herring thao the few arriving now from the lower river. GIVING THE FISH A CHANCE. A The fishermen all seem disposed to us2 shorter seines than heretofore and not to overdo this business, in order to give the fish plenty,ot chance to spawn. Messrs. Osborn & Co. are already located at Windmill Point at Potomac Creek, Va., and are now sending up some fine perch. They have a perfect little layout in the wer ct seines and apparatus needed for the work. Jerry Raub, owner of the Gum landing at Aquia creek, Va., 18 also at work, and sending up daily white perch and catlan. Mr. Kaub leleves In short nets, and is willing to share the profits as well as the sports with others in the same business. Mr. Wm.

TRE SEINE USED at Stony Point {s the longest one on the river, and 1s drawn and worked by stationary steam engines on the shore. The river at this land- ing 1s very wide, with a bottom admirably adapted for the seine, which fs usually five mitles tn length, and at one time one seven males in lepgth was used, High Point was formerly one of the best landings on the river, but of late years lias been unprofitable, Nelther of these landings Was fished last year. Chapman's Point and Moxley’s Point, both In Maryland, will be fished this year by Mr. Jas, Skidmore, also an old fisherman. He 1s now preparing: his paraphernalia and selecting his crew, aud in a few days will be at work. Mr. Skidmore has*been tn our market for many years and generaily has a great variety of fish from all parts of the country. Pamunky Point, Md., is engaged by Mr. Wm. Elliott. This has in years past been celebrated for its marine productions, but latterly has not yielded so well. Gut landing, near the for- mer, Will also be fished by Mr. Hullott, and the two combined will keep his force employed constanuy. Greenway landing, Md., a small shore which has not been fished for the past two years to much extent, 1s to be fished this year by Mr. James Smith, who has an ouuit nearly ready tome into operation. be White House landing, Va. whitch has latd almost abandoned for several years, has been rented by Messrs. Henry Katght « 'Co., who are preparing to go down with a picked crew. Bryant's Point will, as usual, be fished by Capt. Coprad Faunce, an old veteran tn this oe Vice, who has one of the best o4ttits on tue river. NO SEINES WILL BE HAULED this season at the landing on the south end of the Long bridge, but Mr. Wm. E, Stewart will occupy the place with his trap nets. Mr. Stew- art 1s also one of the best posted men In fishing and gunning, and has spent the greater part of his life on and about the Potomac and Ches- apeake waters. He will recetve on consign- ment all the fish sent up oy Messrs, Williain Kulght & Co. and Henry Knight « Co. Mr, Ben. Summers has rented the three shores on the District shore above Georgetown, and Will use short seines, POUND AND GILL NETS. Besides those above named a large number of pound and gill net. fishermen will be at work, their nets stretching from the Wicomico river to Mason’s Island,on both sides of the Tiver, a distance of at least ninety miles. It 1s to be hoped that the greed fur making money Will not result in another clearing out of the fish in the Potomac. The health ofticer,!n his annual report of this year, alludes to the exertions made the year previous in behalf of the Potomac fish- erles, ald states that the subject was carried before Congress, Which secured the passage of a bill designed TO REMEDY OVERFISHING {n this river, That law went into effect in May last, and was vigorously prosecuted by the police authorities under direction of Major Brock, The good results from ft will tn the course of a few years be apparent, aad no doubt thousands upor thousands of young shad and herring were saved from destruction. The clause in this act providing for a close season from sundown Saturday nights to mid. night Sunday of each week, will be productive of great good tn allowing the fist an opportu- nity to reach the higher spawning grounds during the season. This regulation wili be en- forced again this season by the police authori- hour's length, reciting the testimony before the pollee trlzl board tn the case ot charges of In- it ted by Mr. KR, against Policeman Barclay, \Uored at the city post office. It will be re~ macmbered that after a full heating before that tral board the cbarges were dismissed and the findings approved by one of the Commissioners, and it was at this stage of the proceedings that Mr. Raynor desired to make known to the Com missioners his side of the case. The Commis- sloners heard him attentively, but have taken uo action. THE REQUIEM M488 FORK THE EMPRROR.

Farnham before the District Commisstoners yesterday Afternoon in reference to his abstraction of sewer bonds, has been written out by thesteno- srapber and was laid before tbe Commissioners this morning. They decline to make it public at present, for good reasons. Farnham left the city last bight for New York, where he came trom, and was probably glad to get out of town to avoid those made sore by his statements. It Js safe to say that this number would be multu- plicd considerably sbould his statement of yes- terday be made public, aud that those already burt would feel no better. He stated before he Jeft that he had not to take back from What he bad stated, and that he had now no motive for misstating anything about the case. He did not profess to be a saint, as he had done mavy bad things, but he had told the truth ara was eatisiied. He had a lung disease Which would carry him off in a short time; ae Mulght live a few months longer, but 1t was a matter of indifference to him, a8 he was avout a8 well peparet now as he ever could be to pass In bis chips. —__. RUNAWAY GIRLS SENT HOME.—Word was re celved at the police headquarters yesterdiy from Washington that two girl ie and 17 years Of ege, had left their ho! and were Supposed to be in Baltimore.

THE FISH PRODUCT LasT YEAR. The records In the health office shows the number of fish brought to the wharves In this year as follows: Shad, 3, 73 ber- taylors, 839, , bunches small raw Growl, Edivor Siar:—Let us growl about the street * car straw once more, for it’s a nutsance in every sense. To tramp through coarse straw, and have {t follow one {nto the street, or as 1t often does, trip one as they are leaving the car, Is very annoying. ‘The Odor 1s often dis- gusting, and we neve the managers of the Street cars will conclude to dispense with this straw business some thme before next July. Straw 18 very good for bedding down cattle, but decidedly inappropriate for use in street cars. ——— A RECENT DisrUTE among the scale manu- facturcs has led to an investigation, which shows that the Howe scales take the lead. Although it has scarcely been five years since they Were Introduced ‘here, three-fourths of the scales in use In our city are of the Howe Standard scales. West Washingto: NakKOW ESCAPE OF MR J. A.
