Great Success ii the Ponds South There was quite a collection of gentlemen interested in fish culture present Monday to witness the drawing off of the water in the carp pond, immediately north of Ripp’s island, West of Babcock lake. The water was set flow- ing Saturday evening, and by Monday morning the larger portion had been ran off in the natural way, when a sieam engine and pump of large capacity was set to work, and the water, which coald not be reduced by the nat ural flowy was pumped out at the rate of 1,400 gal- lons per minute. The increase of fish in these lakes has been Immense the past season. It will be impossible to arrive at the number of young fish in this pond for several days. Prof. Baird, who was present most of the time, thinks the proportion will be quite equal to that of the Babcock lake. immediately east of it, which was run off afew weeks since. This lat- ter lake produced FULLY 100,000 YouNe CARP from the fifty couple placed in there last year after it was cleared out. In the pond first named there were forty couple of the two years old carp put in for breeders, and these were nearly all recovered Monday and placed in the on the island prepared for the purpose of keeping them during the work of assorting. These breeders not only showed their capacity for multiplyin: . Cost of Repairing Sidewalks. OPINION OF ATTORNEY RIDDLE. Mr. C. M. Matthews having sent a communi- cation to the District Commissioners in refer- ence to needed repairs of sidewalks in West Washington, they referred it the to Attorney for the District of Columbia, Mr. A. G. Riddle, who has sent the following opinion to the Commis- sioners: ‘‘Herewith I return the communi- cation of Mr. Matthews, No. 80,136. The ques- tion proposed, though speculative, is of great Practical importance. It is covered by the opin- ion of this office, referred to in your current re- port (p. 19, sidewalks.) and yet, perhaps, ts entitled tos broader treatment than it there received. Under the charter and ordinances of Washing- ton, and the 7th section of the act soupes of May 21, 1862, (12 stats., 405,) the costs of im- Proving ard wmaintaining footways, side- walks inthe two cities were chargeable upon abutting property. This was the rule till the passage of the act of February 21, 1871, (16 stats., 419,) the 37th sectionof which authorizes the beard of public works to charge one-third only of the costs of the improvements, “‘streets, avenues,” &c., upon the property adjoining. Inasmuch as footways, as they were called in the older statutes and ordinances, are im- portant, and now often the larger part ot streets and avenues, this section was justly held to have repealed all existing legislative provisions on the subject. The act of the District legislature of August 10, 1871, was intended to carry the provisions of ' A COBNER IN APPLES, Hew a Beston Syndicate Controls the Markets of the Country. A Vergennes dispatch to the Boston Herald telis the story of the “corner” in apples as fol- lows: From a lesding mem? - of the Vermont apple syndicate, it has been learned, in refer- ence to the “corner” in Vermont grown apples, that the syndicate ts composed of the following well-known Boston firms: Curtis & Co., Hitand, Chessman & Co., Winn, Ricker & Co. and Isaac Locke & Co. These four firms learned through their eastern and western correspondents that there would be a scarcity of apples in all bat a portion of Vermont, known as the Champlain valley, avery fertile tract of country lying be- tween Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Tange on the west and the Green Mountains on the east. Here the apple crop was remarkable, both in quality and produetion, and a combina- nation was immediately formed to purchase and control this fruit. Agents were quietly sent to all points along the lines of railway, and con- tracts made with all the leading producers of apples, at various prices, ranging from #2 to ‘$2.75 and $3 per barrel; a few extra lots costing ashigh as $3.50 per barrel. In the town of Shelburn, Chittendon county, several extensive orchards were purchased, one producing nearly 5,000 barrels, and several 1.500 to 2,000 each; while, in Addison and Grand Isle counties, orch- ards are numerous which produce from 400 to 600 barrels of No.1 fruit annually. The syndi- cate is now busily engaged in securing the small lots of 25 to 100 barrels over this section, Justitia, To the Editor of Tre Evextne Stan: A few lines of drivel—signed “Pater,” In behalf of his daddy and mater, Proclaim them refinea— Genteelly inclined, Like thelr scion—himself, now, a pater.

One who depends upon the garden and orchard for his living, will be very apt to know which products bring him the best returns. With the farmer the orehard and the garden are often looked upon as of little importance, if not Tegarded as necessary evils. Both manure and labor are breed Meg tata and then ata time too late for the best results. In the gen- eral summing up of the business of the year, Jet the farmer take into account the return from the garden and orchard or fruit garden. We do not refer to the supplies of vegetables and fruit consumed at home, for health and comfort cannot be expressed in dollars and cents, but the actual money returns throughout the year. Much of course will depend upon the location in reference to market, but we are sure that in the majority of cases, a carefully kept account in which all the odd quarters and dollars are promntet. will fesult in a determination to en- large and improve the ground devoted to fruits, vegetables, and flowers. The time has passed when choice fruits were regarded as a luxury; and the farmer who cannot afford to ide his table with a large variety of garden vegetables, is living behind the age. The man who sees only the market value of any prodnci of the soil may not care for a handsome lawn and a flower garden filled with choice plants: but he only haif lives who is blind to the beaut; of these things. We would have the American farmer appreciate what the surroundings of his home may be—we would see him grow rich in mére ways than one.
