The Woman Suffrage Convention, at Au-
gnsta, put on record at least one manifesto
ton of the good they would urge upon
legislation if they had hand in il, by their
united petition in favor of an industrial school
for girls. The opposition in the legislature
to this much needed Institution is one of the
strangest things that has thus far marked
the session. The immense value of our State
reform school for boys has never been ques-
toned; but when similar school is needed
for girls, and large donation made by in
dividuals on condition that the State add the
petty sum of $4,000, men are found who
plead the poverty of the State, and get up a
cry Of "terrible taxation Let US have the
school for girls, even if it costs US mill

At the present rate of taking and canning
Holsters on our coast, it will not be many
years before our sea waters will be destitute
of that important article of diet, as our rivers
are now Of salmon. Maine is more interested
in that kind of shell fish than any other State
in the Union because Holsters are found only
this side of Cape Cod, all along our coast.
The demand for this luxurious flesh is I'M
mense, extending to the far South and West
and even to California. This makes a very
great business for Maine people; and the ex-
tent to which the fishery is now brought
taxes every acre almost, of our three or four
hundred miles of sea, bay and harbor coasts
So thorough has been the catch within the
last few years, that we now seldom see full
grown lobster in our markets, almost all are
of juvenile and even infant sizes; true, there
is law fcrbidding the taking the lives of the
mothers containing the eggs of new progen-
les, but we fear this is little respected by tie
boatmen who bring them to the canning fac
tories, or by the purchasers of them. There
is one way, however, in which we think this
destruction may be prevented While on q
visit to one of the Lobster Factories in Penob-
scot Bay last Autumn, we learned one fact
that has suggested this communication sit is
this the fares of the boats are bought by
weight now. whereas formerly they were pur-
chased by toll. In the latter case the small
ones that weigh but little, were not received
or paid for ard consequently, all caught which
were not large enough to be purchased by
toll were cast overheard, and permitted to
live till they had become large enough to sell.
BY this means more were ready to PROPAGATE
the species, but now any thing in the shape
of a lobster is taken and carried to the Fac
tory, and if it takes five to weigh a common
szed full grown fish, they are thrown into
the scales and boiled, and a pound even of
such is a pound for the market What l
would recomend to the Legislature which at
present has this subject into consideration, is
that it have a law requiring that the canning
establishment shall purchase, as formerly, by
count only, and not by weight. The Legsla-
ture can as we'll regulate this mode of buying
aud selling, as well as it can say how corn,
oats, potatoes or any other products Of the
land, shall be sold by weight. A word to TIE
wise is sufficient. DREUx.

Homestead Exemption.

From the Gazette OF Wednesday, we
see the Convention, after several days la
bor has settled down finally To the fol
lowing homestead exemption:
The convention yesterday, completed
the exemption article, The diversity OF
opinion was very great among the mem.
bers, many believing that homestead
should be without limit in value, while
others strenuously argued for fixed val.
uaton. 1t was left to Hon. j W. House
the talented young delegate from White,
to strike happy medium between the
two upon which the members finally com.
promised. Mr.. Houses proposition gives
to those who live 10 the country, free
from sale or execution, one hundred and
sixty acres of land, provided the same
does not exceed in value the sum of S25-
90, and provided further that the home.
stead shall not he reduced to less than
eighty acres, without u limit rs TO value.
Heads Of families residing in cities can
have half an acre, valued at $4,000, or n
quarter Of an acre (about one and n half
lots in this city,, without limit rs to val.
ue. This is perhaps as just and fair an
exemption law as could be framed, es
pecially when there is such diversity Of
opinion as prevails among the members
of the convention and people through
out the state. Mr. House deserves credit
for mastering the situation,
