The agitation of the question OF ere
nation instead Of burial, has resulted in
the attempted formation of n ",Iutnal
Cremation Society" in New York. Tuo
members arc mostly Germans, and they
consider this the greatest effort OF the
century for tho improvement of man
kind. They will mutually have the
pleasure of burning each other up rs
the deaths take place, and the funeral
urn will hold their ashes.
A probate judge in Western County
of Nebraska. not long since convicted

manner: There being no evidence
against the prisoner, tho Judge declared
he knew something of the case himself
whereupon he solemnly administered
the oath to himself, gave his testimony,
and convicted the prisoner thereon.

Fish Culture.

The study of the propagation of
fish is coming to be recognized in its
true Importance Especially are
New York, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Illinois making commendablo efforts
in the development Of fish culture.
The most valuable fish now raised
are trout, salmon and whitefsh,
which deposit their eggs in the fall,
salmon and trout Matching in seventy
days, and whitefsh in forty. Shad,
bass, pckerel and pike spawn in the
spring-in May and June. Shad
eggs hatch in from two to three days;
bass twelve to fifteen days; pickerel
and pike ten daye.
One important fact demonstrated
thus far 10 the culture of fish is that
the salmon can live and flourish as
we'll in fresh as in salt water. Meth
err is the expense of hstching the
eggs great, fifty cents being the en-
tire cost of patching 1000 salmon
eggs.
1t is said by eastern fish culturists
that one acre of water, from three to
six feet deep, will produce more, and
be more profitable, than three acres
of cultivated land. Illinois claims
that one acre of good water Of the
same depth will nourish dainty
4 600 Gsh, each from one to three
pounds in weight, Illinois has $780,
900 acres of water; Wisconsin has
probably not less than ,00O, 000, and
therefore, if proper attention is paid
to stocking the lakes and rivers with
fish, deal of wealth might be de-
rived therefrom. One advantage OF
pisciculture is this, that it is intro
dueing new res ource for industry
and q new instrument of wealth,
lust like introducing into our midst
a new and valuable quality of wheat,
or a potato which would stand the
slight. There is no shad in the Mis-
sissippi River, and yet there is no
reason why the clear running water
of that noble stream above Dubuque,
should not be stocked with shad,
which may claim to be the best table
| fish ia the world.
We perceive with pleasure that
Prot. Baird is now at Washington,
suggesting to Congress the proprie-
ty of stocking the Western rivers
with shad A small appropriation in
this direction might return millions
in value. Applying some OF the
money which Congress wastes on
abortive schemes would accomplish
in piscicuIture in the United States
in all its rivers and lakes, as much as
| the most ardent devotee of this sci
ence could desire.

EVERY PLEDGE HAS BEEN VI0-
LATED"
Reform Organ Admits Thst the Reform Par
ty Is Deiusion aud a snare.
[From the Prairie du CHEN Courier,

From the Prairie du Chen Courier.
The Democrats. and iEdeed the
whole party of ,oorkingmen who voted
last fall for Gen. Taylor and the re.
form ticket have been cruelty deceiT.
ed, and have been basely betrayed
1t is useless to keep silent any
longer. Every day proves more con
clusively that the so-called (mis-call-
ed) Reform party of this State is q
delusion and a snare. We expected
as much when we saw that MiiWau-
kee Convention managed by Railroad
attornies, Cary, Palmer ct. al. But
we were all told that VIM. r. Tay.
Tor, Granger, and President of the
State Agricultural Society, was an
honest old farmer, and would never
permit the people to be outraged by
monopolies and soulloss Railroad
Corporations.
Erery pledge has been violated !
The very first official act Of the
Reform (?) Governor was to surren-
der vast tract of the Public Lands
to a. railway corporation. A thing
that the former radical Governor,
ashburn) had the honesty, and
manhood to refuse to do. Indeed, all
through the workings of the Reform
State Administration, are now seen
unmistakable finger marks Of the
Railroad Agents.
Yes, even Mitchell and Merrill de-
clare to their railroad associates East
that the Reform Party means Grail
road" Party, and the "reform" State
officials are virtually "Railroad
agents." And in truth, the facts bear
out these assumptions to the letter,
and in acts.
The Reform party is humbug
1t is not party Of and for the people.
In allowing ourselves to be per-
suaded to vote for Taylor, and the
Reform Party, we have placed in
power the agents and allies of the
monopolies, and fastened the choke
rope around the necks of the people.
Gov, Taylor is cIoseted with, and
counselod by the paid la1Cyfrs Of the
Railway Companies, and in secret
confidential correspondence with lie w
defying railroad managers. 1t is APP
parent to the people Of Wisconsin
that he is Influenced by the Railroad
capitalists, more than BIO is by any
desire to protect the interests of the
people Of the State. He sees a grasp
ing Railroad Corporation openly de-
flying and violating laws, and he even
hesjtateS to perform his plain duty
prescribed by law, to protect the
vital interests of the people from the
extortions of the Railroad Despera-
does. Is this sample of the RE
form" promised the tax payers and
working men who voted for Gov.
Taylor?
We admit that we have been de-
ceiyed but were Taylor to be voted

1t has not accomplished one iota for
the relief and benefit of the people.

"Reform movement" Ii has deceiv-
ed and betrayed its friends and the
whole State.
