AS showing the necessity for protective legis-
lation for fish, birds, game, &c, and the i'm
portance Of enforcing it when secured, we may
mention fact stated to Us by gentleman OF
this city, lately returned from the Blackwater,
in West Virginia. IL is TO the effect that about
ten thousand trout were taken last season, and
about seven thousand 50 far this season, from
that stream alone,-iH seiaes and nets Of r1rious
kinds What DO genuine fishermen think of
SEEMING and scooping for trout? 1t is said tn at
the creek robbers guilty OF this sort of thing
are mostly from Baltimore, and that they do
their work to supply the markets of that CITY,
to her shame be il written.

The prize fight fssco yesterday is an addi-
tional evidence Of the low plane to which pugi-
lstic contests have descended. The art of
hstcutfs was once not ironically styled " the
manly art-' 1t has degenersted sadly, and at
any modern contest the conduct of the ring
patrons Is not only unmanly but disgraceful.
There is scarcely fight that one party or the
other IL Lot charged with unfsirRess, and this
was exemplihed yesterday in the battle be-
tween Edwards and Collyer when the latter re-
fused to fight longer because, as he said, his
opponent used liquid preparation on his
hands which was calculated to blind his antsg-
onist- Fortunately none of these gangs OF ruff
nan shoulder-hitters can longer make the Dis
trict OF Columbia their base Of operations. The
stringent law enact by Congress a couple of
years ago effectually broke mp all exhibitions
Of the Kind in question.

One OF The most pleasing and worthy charities
OF New York is the giving Of free excursions for
the benefit Of sick children. On Wednesday
and Friday OF last week and on Monday last
eighteen hundred mothers and sick children
were taken in the floating hospital up the
Sound, up the Hudson, and down the bay.
Comfortable meals were furnished to all on
board, music was supplied by full band, and
instruction in regard to diet and cleanliness was
given to the mothers by a number or expert
enced physicians. The giving of excursions to
the juvenile inmates of charitable institutions
IL highly commendable, but the plan OF giving
pale and emaciated little sufferers from the
homes of poverty an opportunity to inhale the
fresh river breeze and to feast their eyes on the
beauties ef nature is, If anything, still more
pIaiseworthy.

The Changers OF Maryland are holding a
convention in Baltimore, which is attended by
Representatives from almost every subordinate
grange in the state. The Gazette says that this
body, since its last meeting, hss grown into
large proportions, numbering about six thou
sand IN the state, and includes about $50 sui
oranges. Harmony prevails in its cOunsels, and
much practical matter is being brought before
the body, AID the deliberations OF the farmers
are characterized by dignity and unsnimity OF
sentiment.

There are but few persons on this side Of the
big water that do not rejoice at the escape of
Marshal Bazsine. That he was treated with
undue severity by the French government 10
the opinion of most American readers, because
although his good geDeralship may have been
justly called in question, yet there was no sufi-
cient evidence of treachery to his country.
Some one had to be the scspe-gost to suffer for
the humiliation of France, and as Bazsine WAS
q staunch imperialist and his accusers republi-
cans, the lot fell to him.

Tin Wedding at POuItney.

Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. Z. II. Randall ccle-
bratcd the tenth anniversary of their mar
red life on Tuesday evening, January 18th,
at their residence in Poultney, says the
journal. Their beautiful and commodious
house, now the rectory of the parish, was
the evening. The occasion was made in
tcresting by happy company who i'm
proved the opportunity in free social in
tercoursc. Supper was served about ten
o'clock, and in all respects was done in the
best manner,
The presents in tin wares were numer-
Gus, embracing almost every article that
could be named, useful and ornamental.
The presents were not confined to tin. Mr..
Randall was presented with dressing
gown, and Mrs. Randall with nutmeg
CRATER, in which was found an article not
manufactured by the timer, but by Uncle
Sam, in which he promised to pay gener-
Gus sum.
The company separated in good spirits,
every one apparently leaving his best
wishes for the prosperity and long life of
Mr.. and Mrs. Randall Such is evidently
| the desire of all our townsmcn. They arc
doing good work in the church and So
ciety in Poultney, and have built up q
school that is an honor to the town, as wei
as highly useful in properly educating
young men and women Long may they
live and he thus useful.

were remarkably well sustained by several
gentlemen and ladies of cur town. The
entertainment was concluded on Thursday
evening by a grand ball, at which goodly

IMPORTANT RAILROAD NEGOTIA.

Attempt TO Purchase the Vermont and
Canada Railroad by the Central
Vermont.

ST.. ALBANs. Vt, Jan. lG.
here this afternoon that an attorney of the
receivers of the Central Vermont went to
Boston last week and had an interview
with Mr.. Brooks, president of the Yer
mont and Canada, as led to an appoint
ment for a meeting between that gentle
man and Gov. Smith That meeting was
held last Monday, and it resulted in an
agreement that each would exert his best
influence with his co-directors and the
stockholders of their several companies to
obtain their consent to II contract for the
sale Of the Vermont and Canada
to the Central Vermont. The terms
of the proposed sale are, that thirty years
hence the Central Vermont shall pay the
Vermont & Canada the sum of three mil
lions dollars (Which is the amount of the
stock) and meanwhile shall pay them inter-
est sem-annually at the rate of six per
cent per annum. To secure this payment
they are to give first mortgage on the road
and whether anything else remains to be
seen. And as for the rent now in arrear,
amounting to upward of $500, coo they pro-
pose TO pay one-half of it, and that, in the
income and extension bonds of the Yer
mont Central, which wee the last security
issued before the Central Vermont took the
road
What success Gov. Smith or Mr.. Brooks
have had with their directors and stock
holders is not known, yet if the security
offered is satisfactory, the Vermont and
Canada stockholders will accept the offer.
1t is reported that all but two of the di-
rectors have since been together and the
only question that remains with them, is
this matter of the security.
The question of security is the point on
which the negotiation must turn. The
security, perhaps, may be questionable if
they offer only on the road itself. The
Central Vermont have a capital of two
millions, but they have assumed the bur-
dens of three roads, the Ogdensburgh.
Rutland, and Harlem Exten-
sion, none of which can be said to
be profitable leases, and besides have
liability of $lS0,000 per annum to pay
the Vermont and Canada Notwiths,and-
ing all this, it is believed that if rumors
prove true rs to the negotiations between
Coy. Smith and Mr. Brooks, and this trade
Is consumated that the Central Vermont
probably know what they are about and
will carry through the project to a Sue
cessful issue both for themselves and the
Vermont and Canada who will be great
gamers thereby. r.

a slate Meeting AT POuiincy

\ meeting will be held at Josln's Hall,
in Poultney, on Saturday, the Gath of Jan
uary. 1874, at ten o'clock in the forenoon,
at which all workmen, manufacturers and
dealers in slate, a;e invited to attend.
There are several important matters bear
ing upon the slate interest which demand
the immediate attention of all interested
Among these are
First, frcights. The charges for trans
portation draw largely from the profits of
the producer. Are the charges too high
if SO, is there a remedy?
Second, do we need Il protective tariff
Slate is made in Wales, by the low price of
labor there, at about one-third the cost they
can be made here, and can be shipped from
there to New York or Boston at less cost
than we can send our slate to the same
cities.
Third, is it feasible for the manufacture
ers by concert to establish uniformity in
prices
Fourth, there are various other matters
| III COlluctllOH VIII llIS lulNitSt Nh'Nh
might be properly considered at the meet
ing and which any gentleman would be at
liberty to introduce.
| Associ tions seem to be the order now
with those in the different pursuits, and
certainly there can be no objection to it, if
it is has for the purpose of mutual consul
tation and advice There is probably more
wisdom in the whole than in any of its
parts.
With these views, all interested in slate
in Fairhaven, Hydeville, Castleton, Poult-
ney. Hampton, Middle Granville, Gran
vile, Pawlet, Salem, all in til estate region
are invited to attend the meeting and par
ticipate in its proceedings.

southern claims commission, about year
siuce made q thorough examination Of all
the papers and documents purchased
through Col. Pickett and those captured at
Richmond, for the purpose Of looking up
evidence on the side of the government in
the settlement of cotton claims. During
these researches Judge Adds came across
the letter written by Mr. Gushing to Jcffer-
son Davis, introducing Mr.. Roanc. When
Cushing was nominated to he chief justice,
Judge Adds remembered this letter, and
looking 1t up had a copy made, which he
sent to the secretary of war, who in turn
forwarded it to the President It appears
that Sargent heard of this letter and Sc
cured copy Of it. The application of it
is certainly no honor to the Senate, it the
rules which usually govern gentlemen in
their intercourse have any force there
Mr.. Cushing has not yet decided what
course he will pursue in regard to tho
Spanish mission As the President appoint
ed him against his personal wishes, as his
age, profession and retired habits all make
quite desirable, he will, of course, await
the desires of the President In the course
of a few days Mr.. Cushing will decide
what steps to take. There is reason to be-
lieyc that unless the President should urge
the fulliment of the Spanish mission Mr..
Gushing will resign.
