Mr. Eugene G. Blackford, the New
York Commissioner of Fisheries, has
been investigating the condition of the
03-ster, and his report contains much in
teresting information concerning that
Invalve. In 1860 the vast" majority Of
the ojBtcr? Bald in the , markets of this
country was from beds of oysters of nat
ural growth, while to-day sixty per cent,
of the annual product of oysters is from
planted beds. Of the 409,186 acres of
land available for oyster growing but
15,580 acres contain oysters of natural
.growth In sufficient quantities to pay for
the cost of gathering them. The natuml
growth beds of Rhode Island and Con
necticut arc practically extinct, and even
the great beds of Maryland and Virginia
are being rapidly exhausted.
. An Internation Exhibition is to be
held at Glasgow during the summer of
lg88. The guarantee fond already ex
ceeds 240,000, and is being increased
The objects of the Exhibition, as Btated

jJE&ster industry, science and art by incit
ing the inventive genius of our people to
still further t development in atts and
manufactures; nnd to stimulate com
mercial enterprise by inviting all na
tions to exhibit their products, both in
the raw and finished state." Promises
of support have also been received from
America, India, the Canadian, Austra
lian, Cape and other colonies. The site,
- which has been granted by the Glasgow
corporation, extends to sixty acres, and
the buildinjrs will eover about ten acres

A MEXICAN OUTRAGE.
The patent medicine trade is a great
and growing one in England. During
the yc.ir 1830 179,071 was paid by man
ufacturevs of these articles to the Gov
ernment in the shape of stamp taxes. In
1865 the- sum paid was only 55,333, and
in 1875 itwas114,323. The quantity of
medicine placed on the market in the
,in years loto-oa am not increase so
largely as it did in the ten years from
186 to 1875. The Pall Mall OmctU
fays that as" the value, of the stamp or
abel is one-eighth of the total value Of
the article stamped, an approximate csti
imat f the total value of the trade in
those goods is possible. On the basis
given the above journal Fays the expen
diture of the people for this clrss of medi
cine has increased in twenty-one years
from 107,0,7 to 1,611,639.

a chase of tifti en milt s and routed by a
force of ciutoin police and troops under
Scnbrs Felix, James and Joquin G.
Castillo and Captain Romeo of the fifth
Mexican cavalry. The fight was quite
lively and resulted in the capture of ten
mules and horses laden with smuggle 1
goods. The extradition of the smug
gler Kedndez is asked for, but as smug
gling is not one of tbeoffeme indicated
in the extradition treaty between the
United States and the Mexican republic,
it is almost certain such a request will
not meet favorable consideration.

IN THE HANDS OF A RECEIVER.
New York's aqueduct, which will prob-
ably be cmnplcted this year, is regarded
asonett the greatest triumphs of mod
ern engineering. A few general figures,
says the New York Sun, will give a
better conception of this work than now
"obtains. The aqueduct is in- reality "a
contimrous tunnel, thirtv miles in extent.
with sectional area of 155 feet, or snf
5ccntly large to accommodate an ordi
nary train of cars. It traverses a broken
country, now beneath lofty hills, again
crossing deep valleys; diving at times
under broad rivtrs; most of the way
cut in solid rock, its average depth be
neath the surface being about 150 feet.
Excepting where it is carried under wa
ter courses it maintains a perfectly regu
lar though slightly descending grade, and
yet will deliver its vast river of w ater at
the highest elevation on Manhattan Isl
and, thus giving a In ad for distribution
which will carry it to the top? of the loft
iest buildings. The pnsent aqueduct has
a sectional area of but 53 feet, or but a
trifle moic than one-third of the new.
Thus the new will bj capable of fur
nishing the city three times the volume
fbf water which the old aqueduct could
convey even when pressed to its utmost
capacity, as it has beeu for several years
past, to the great anxiety of the engi
neers and others concerned.;

At a meeting to day of the board of
directors of the wrecked National bank
of Sumter, S. C-, the bank examiner
stated that it was necessary to put the
bank in the hands of a lecciver, and that
one would be appointed in a few days.
In the opinion of the examiner the de
positors are in vo danger. It will Ijc
fevcral days tefore the cxamimr will be
prepared to make a statement as to the
condition of affairs. The bank people
arc ccntid nt that Baralctt's bonds-men
will l ave to make good the amount of
his defalcation, whilst on the other hand,
the bondsmen are equally confident that
they cannot I q, held liable. An interest
ing legal contest is therefore inevitable.
A number of the mcst substantia business
men of Sumter have determined that it
the stockholders fail to put up the money,
and thus permit the bank to go by the
boaid, they will at once organize a new
banking institution with a large amount
of capital.
