Fish Commissioners.

Aho NcW EhSlanu risu Somuiissioh'i'
have issued the following to the pubic;
The New England Commissioners Of
liver fisheries wish to bespeak the atten-
ton and the assistance of all persons who
are interested in the restocking Of our
fresh water with valuable fish, such as the
salmon, shad, herring, alewife, trout, black
bass, striped bass and lamprey eel.
These fish, half century ago, furnished
abundant and wholesome food 10 the peo-
pie; but. by the eject on of impossible
dams, the needless pollution of ponds and
rivers, and by reckless fishing, in all ways
and at all times, our streams and lakes
have been pretty much depopulated.
Luckily, the immense natural increase
of fishes opens way to their restoration.
We have only to remove the causes of
their destruction, and they will multiply
enormously without any care at all.
The causes of destruction are chiefly as
follows:
!. impossible dams Over these, fish
ways may be built with little waste of wa
ter.
2. Pc luton of water by lime, dyes,
soap, sawdust, and other mill refuse. Much
Of all these should not be thrown at all
into the water. As TO the dirty water
from wool or cloth washing. it may be
confined to one side Of the river by plank
screen placed opposite the raceway.
3. Destruction of young fish by mill
wheels, which may be avoided by lattice,
placed across the mouth of mill canal.
4. Destructive modes of fishing, among
which we may include gill-nets, weirs,
very long seiues, pots, set-hooks, iire-fish-
ing, and fishing through the ice ; all of
which should be by law forbidden.
5. Fishing too much and at wrong sea-
sons. For migratory fish, certain days in
each week should be ed"-that is to
say, no fishing should then be above
and the taking of trout on their spawning
beds should be vigorously interdicted.
Massachusetts and New Hampshire
have already passed laws for the opening
of the Merrimack and the Connecticut to
sea fish, and for the encouragement of the
breeding of valuable fresh water fish.
Fishways have been erected upon the
Merrimack, and many thousand salmon
eggs have been planted in its upper wa
tiers.
BY the interest and the assistance of the
people at large, these cheap and important
reforms may be carried through.

Extra Session Of tho Legislature.

We are authorized to say that his Ex-
cellency the Governor will Immediately is
sue proclamation calling the Legislature
together on WEDNESDAY,, THE 9th OF
MARCH INSTANT, to relieve the railroad
disabilities of the Western part of the
State, and particularly of the counties Of
Bennington and Rutland. The Rensel-
AR g. Saratoga Railroad Of New York,
first obtained control Of all the railroads
from Vermont to New York city and the
West by way of Troy, excep. the West
ern Vermont road, which runs from Rut-
land 10 Bennington; and then. for the
purpose of controllin. the latter road. de-
iberately cut its connection with it. Thus
the Western Vermont road can do only
local business, which will not pay the run.
ming expenses, and the people depending
upon il are forced to send the freight to
Rutland, and thence by the Connecticut
river route to New York, an extra aver
aye distance for the Western Vermont of
more than hundred miles-or via Rut.
land and this New York Monopoly line.
an extra average distances of eiohty-five
miles, and ninefy-fve miles at Monopoly
rates. sl
The district accommodated by the Wes-
tern Vermont road is by tar the most i'm
por ant manufacturing district in the
State, The town IF Bennington alone pro-
ducine one-third OF the taxable manufac.
tures Of this Congressional district. The
los. TO u single establishment in year, if
it continues business. will be more than
three times the cost of an extra session,
and there are several branches of manu-
facture in which business must be entirely
suspended. BY stagnaiion in bushes, de-
probation in property, and the ruin of
valuable business enterprises, the New
York Monopolists are making their tracks
in Vermont and we hardly need add that,
If the Monopoiists are not speedily brought
10 terms, the tax payers Of the State will
feel their weight in reduction of the
grand list. We must add, however, that
the people Of the whole of Western YER
mont, from the Southern boundary 10 the
Northern, are now subjected to enormous
extor,ion on all freight bound TO New
York or the West by the way of Troy,
and are therefore interested in the matter
But were Bennington county alone inter-
ested, we Thick the people Of the whole
State would say, that the cost Of an extra
session, perhaps $4,000, is not worth
counting against their calamity. We re.
member nothing in railroad management

one thing in history that has so stirred the

THE MARYLAND SEcEssioN.SENAroR
- Philip F. Thomas who has Just been
elected u. S. Senator from Maryland was
not only copperhead, but notorious
rebel sympsthiEers during the war, and
even resigned. an office he held in the
Treasury department in the winter of
1861, because it had been decided to re-
inforce Fort Sumter, declaring that the
U. s. has no power to collect the customs
and duties at the port of Charleston" thus
endorsing secession. On his election to
the Senate few days since, he then de-
clared that the majority of the U. S. SEN
ators are now and always were traitors
to the Union" meaning, of course, the
Union members of that body. We are
therefore glad to see that when he present.

ators objected, and his credentials we're re

instead of taking his seat there he will
have to remain a while " out in the CO d !"
till his case can be investigated, and mean
time he may learn that the path of a cop

OPIUM AMONG THE HAwAIIANs.-Th
Honolulu Commercial Advertiser remarks
that, as if rum and its vices which it en-
genders and fosters, were not rapidly
enough sweeping the remnant of Hawai-
ians from the face of the earth, it is sad
fact that the practice Of smoking opium,
introduced there by the Chinese coolies,
has become prevalent among the native
Hawaiians, and is fearfully on the increase.
during The last few years the attention of
the police has been frequently drawn to
this subject, and numerous arrests have
been made of Cinnamon engaged in the
Illegal traffic in opium. But it is exceed
ingly difficult TO get native who uses op-
ium to testify against the seller, and thus
it not lnfrequently occurs that, in case,
where the police are morally certain of
the guilt of the vendors, they 90 unwhip-
ped of justice Ter the lack of the nee ,ssary
evidence to convict. The Advertiser re-
lates the following incident, showing the
deadly power Of this peruicious drug:
We heard of distressing instance the
other day of poor native on whom the
insidious habit of smoking opium had
grown until il became necessary TO his ex-
istence. Becoming himself sensible of the
destruction of body and soul toward which
he was Fastening, he made an effort TO
break off the habit, and taking a small
supply OF the drug with him to taper off
on" removed to Waikiki, away from the
town, with the delusive idea that thus he
could cure himself. But when his supply
was exhausted, the vous prostration and
! the craving for the wonted stimulus were
such that be was obliged 20 come to town
again for more. Again providing himself
with small supply, he made another ec
| fort for freedom, this lime removing TO Coco
Head, further still from the temper. But
he became so weak from the reaction on
his nervous system that his friends were
obliged 10 bring him to town again, or he
would have soon died from the want of
opium. And he will inevitably die with
the Use of it. This is only one instance
