How PREMIUMS ARE AWARDED AT COUNTY
FAIEs.-The Bloomington (ll.l Pa,tagyaJM tells
the following: ''Some very funny awards are
made at state fairs, in consequence Of the diff
fculty Of securing experts upon all the various
awarding committees. A few years ago gem
tlernan sent collection Of recent fresh.water
shells to the fair, and was awarded fine set of
silver spoons for the best set of fossils At De-
catur, at the last state fair, discussion arose
about the respective merits of two paintings,
called cattle pieces. Ono represented cattle
lying under trees, in which drawing, perspective
and coloring were good; and the other an i'm.
mense bull, standing in the open field, with
trees in the foreground. The awarding commit.
tee was divided, and no who was giving the
casting vote placed his decision on the ground
that he only considered the bull the rest of
the picture was not essential. But, by the laws
of perspective and taking the trees the only
visible measure, the bull must have been at least
30 feet high! 1t was the biggest bull, in two
senses, which we remember to have seen.

Seine Fish inc Prohibited.

As a legitimate result Of the law against seine
gill net fishing in this vicinity, it is notable
that fish were never 90 numerous nor SO large
they are now in the various rivers and smaller
streams in this county. There are many who
have found angling profitable, not only as re-
creation but in pecuniary way, and we hear i.
limited that several persons in different localities,
who do not know the law, or knowing it, think
they may disobsy it at small risk, or. were the
law enforced, with but small penalty are pre-
pairing to seine fish For the edifcaton of such
persons we give synopsis of the law now in
force on this subject. The law was passed at the
session of the Legislature in 1867, and has special
reference to this section of country:
1t is declared unlawful to catch or take fish
with seine from tho Illinois River between
Starved Rock and Marscilles, and on the Canal
between Utica and Seneca, or any feeder or
lateral canal on said canal, and on the Fox River
at any point below the dam at Dayton.
For The violation of this law the fine is $40
and costs for each offense.
&c. fishermen, beware
We think i. is the duty Of every one 10 SEQ
that this law is properly enforced
