onsrnucr,sa THE PASSAGE OF FISH f,

VbsTHUCTtNG THE PASSAGE OF FISH
The following letter, from Mr.. Lawrence,
the member from Dauphin, will not be with.
out interest to many of our readers:
tFrom the Harrisburg Teicgraph)
GEo. BERoNER & Co.-Many Inquiries hev.
ing been made of me iu relation to the right
OF persons to obstruct the passage Of fish up
the Susquehanna river, and several petitions
having been sent to me, praying for legisla-
tion on the sabject, / deem it my duty thus
publcy 10 reply to them. 1t is a matter Of
universal regret that so profitable business
as shsd. fishing, in which so many of our cit-
zens were formerly engaged, should meet
with so many distractions aud by the de-
struction Of which so much valuable property
was deprecated and so many persons de-
prived Of employment; and any means to
restore this trade and afford employment to
our citizens will be public benefaction. No
legislation, however, is nee1ed-Mr. Kunkel,
one o. our former representatives, having
provided for it at the session of 1851, as will
be seen by the following extract from the
pamphlet laws Of that year, page ia;
Sec. .. 1t shall be the duty of the Susque-
hanna canal company to cause TO be con.
structed at the dams erected by them across
the river Susquehanna, sluice for the pas
sage OF fish, over which at least one foot OF
water shall pass from the first day Of April
to the fifteenth day of May of each year the
said sluice to extend along the breast Of the
dam the distance of from one hundred and
fifty yards to two hundred yards, in proper
tion TO the width Of the river at said dams
and to be constructed at ard Immediately
opposite the main channel from the dam
down stream, by steps of eighteen inches
perpendicular fail, and horizontal platforms
OF the base of each step of forty feet in
width; and if SAID company shall neglect or
refuse to construct said sluices in the manner
herein specified for the space Of one gear after
tie passage Of this act The said dams shall be
deemed nuisance, and may be 0bdted as
other ntGsances may be abdted according to
the lars Of this Commonwealth.
One remedy under this section is obvious
and easy. Any person or persons suffering
by the obstructions in tho river may make
information before justice Of the peace, and
upon an establishment Of the fact in court
OF justice, it will be the duty Of that court to
abate the nuisance"
1t is proper for me to call public attention
to this law, inaSmuch as it seems to have
gone unnoticed, and many of our citizens are
interested and have applied to me, with
whom it would be inconvenient for me &c
communicate separately.

OF AND. J. RoDRIGUE.


About year since we recorded the death of
DR.. A. Rodrigue, formerly Of Sunbury, but more
recently Of II Hollidaysburg, who had emigrated TO
Lccompton city, Kansas, in 1855. We have
now to record the death of his eldest son, Andrew
J. Rodrigue, by the hands of an assassin, on the
Sd inst, at Lecompton.
The deceased was the grandson Of Hugh Bellas
Esq, of this place. He was born in the city Of
Pttsburg in the fall of 1885, and had Just entered
his 23d year. lie fell in the dawn of his man.
hood leaving widowed mother and sisters and
brothers TO mourn his uniney fate.
In the fall of 1855 he emigrated with his father
to the city of Lecompton, and at the date of his
death was engaged in the purs uit of farming,
while at the same time he held the office OF
Clerk Of the Supreme Court of the Territory of
Kansas. He was an able, courteous and efficient
officer, the proceedings of the meeting OF the
Bar, Chief Justice Lecompte presiding, held on
the 9Th of April, in Lecompton, fully testify.
The following account of his death we extract
SAD OCCURRENCE.
"An affair Of sorrowiul character occurred
in this city on last Saturday noon which re-
suited in the death Of one OF our oldest citi-
zens, and the former Postmaster, ANDsEw j.
RoDRIGuE. 1t appears that a difficulty
sprung up between the deceased and w. T..
Thompson, when the latter stabbed Mr. Il.
with pocket,knifs in the side, which pene-
trated the left lung, causing mortal wound.
Two gentlemen witnessed the affray, ono of
whom was cut at by hompson, and their
evidence was given in before the coroner's
jury. The verdict was in accordance with the
facts, That he came to his death from u
wound inflicted by VIM. +. Thompson"
This blow is deeply felt by the widowed
mother, sisters und brothers, also, by the
friends Of the deceased who has been cut
down by an untimely death, in the prime Of,
LIE, and in the midst of career OF usefulness.
We deeply sympathize with his family in their
irreparable loss
The deceased lived until Wednesday NOR
ming at o'clock, and during the greater por-
ton OF the time experienced much agony.
immediately after the deed was perpetrated
Thompson left the city, and although the Off
GERS of the law were in pursuit of him, made
good his escape, and has has not been heard
OF since. The funeral took place nSaturday

ceed to sea, and in the deep water about
5000 miles from tho Irish coast, rehearse q
series Of experiments in paying out aud in

suggestions and appliances that have been
proposed by various ingenious persons. The
two ship will, then return to England and re-

show that improvements or alteration is de.
sirable, there will be time to get it effected SO
as to enable the expedition to make their fl.
