The Ohio Fishing Law.

As the spring fishing is just COM
mencing it is well for all to know
that it is not lawful for any person to
shoot fish, orput in or keep up, draw
or use any fish net, seine or pond for
the purpose of catching fish in any
of the rivers, creeks or streams in
this State, at any point or place above
the common level at high or back
water of Lake Erie OF the Ohio river,
or in any waters or lake, pond or
reservoir, having surface not ex-
ceeding $4,000 nor less than 10 acres
lying wholly within the State, wheth-
er the same be a natural or artificial
lake, pond or reservoir. The only
net that can be used lawfully is the
dip net or any net not exceeding ten
feet in length, used for the purpose
of catching minnows. The penalty
for violation of the law may be fine
from ten to fifty dollars or thirty
days Imprisonment.

Correspondence of the News.
Temperance In Kentucky.

BANGOR, KY., May 13, 1874.
At a recent meeting of our brethren at Sardis,
the absorbing topic was Temperance. F. Grider, of
Augusta stated that he had just left the BATTLE in
which he had been engaged for four weeks inces-
sanity, and rejoiced to know that long his town
would be freed from the curse of drink, and that
this present effort SO distinguished the work
of God. Bro. G. closed by saying, that the people
of Kentucky would before long rise en- masse and
wipe out this terrible curse, and Danish it forever
from their midst.
Bro. Barnett, of Hillsboro, KY, noticed the Ohio
women's movement, speaking of its seeming insig-
nifcance at its commencement, and now its grand
proportions. He said, as Temperance man, he had
been looking for time for the interpostion of
some mighty power that would give great impetus
to the work. and that he rejOced to ascribe to the
women the honor of being the instruments of God
for the destruction of this terrible stronghold of
sin.
Several other speeches were made, all of which
spoke an enthusiasm which viii not soou die out
Bros. Slavens and Northcott, of MaysviIe, spoke
in reference to the work there, stating that al
though somewhat different from the Ohio move
ment, they hoped the Temperance cause would
prove successful and trusted under God to long
see the enormous evil banished from our State and
nation. The people are waking up on this question
in this State. 1t is longer fashionable for gen.
tlemen to drink Bourbon" but in good society the
man who drinks is looked upon with pity and con-
tempt.
At Owingsvile, in Bath county, lately, the saloon
keepers were very much frightened ON account of a
report put in circulation that some of the Ohio
Crusaders were coming to that place, to sing and
pray them out of their saloons. Every saloon
keeper in the town, after holding meeting to see
what must be done, agreed to leave town. After
the scare was over they returned.
All good people are praying for the cause.
