The Salmon Fisheries In England.

We can see no good reason why the eS-
ample set in England should not be follow
ed here, and such rivers as the Hudson aud
Connecticut restocked with the king of the
fishes. Two years and half ago the
Parliament of England, urged thereto by
sportsmen and fishermen, passed an act
containing a few simple provisions. They
were in brief: First, that no dams or wcir3
should be erected in the rivers without pro-
per passes or ladders for the Ash to ascend
This is absolutely necessary, for the salmon
is n migratory fish, going up the rivers to
spawn, ana therefore an obstacle which is
insurmountable prevents them from stock
ing any river. Second, there should bc no
fishing by fixed nets, it having been found
that these engines were second only to inn
passible weirs in cutting down the supply
of fish. Third, that there should be no fish
ING at all unreasonable times, that is in those
months when the the salmon are not "clGan
fish" and in good order for food. In the u
years elapsed since the passage of the bill,
there has been vast increase of the salmon
in all rivers of England and Wales. SO
much has this been the case that the price
of salmon has fallen Cne half i'll the mar
kcts Of the country. 1t was two shillings a
pound, and is now but one, and is some
times as low as eight pence. Considering
that the full benefit of this law cannot have
been reupcd in so short tlme-tOr the sal
mon must breed and grow before they can
be caught and sent to market so as t. great
