niously are they contrived. We are told
that fishermen from other States frequent
the waters of Maryland in great numbers.
in addition to our own citizens, and by the
use of such illegal devices take and destroy
almost all the fish which make their APP
the spawning grounds after running the
gauntlet of the many traps set for them.
Bushels of young fish are left on the shores
to rot, by these city market fishermen,
which are taken in close meshed nets, after
the salable fish are culled out. This course
will very speedily depopulate our already
sparsely stocked streams, ifit is not stopped,
for which there is ample law provided in the
following sections. All that is requisite is
some person to enforce the law, and right
here is where Sportsmen's Association
would find Legitimate employment. Such
associations are much needed to look after
the enforcement of game and fish laws, as
we'll as procure further legislation on these
subjects. 1t is useless to have State Fish
Commission to look after the stocking of
our rivers and creeks witt fish, if poach-
ers are to have unrestrained license to net
the fish, both old and yoang, as fast as they
appear in the fishing grounds.
Not only in the proper season are the fish
indiscriminately destroyed but out of sea-
son as well. We heard of shad being taken
in these fish traps last August.

MR.. EwING-Dear Sri noticed an
article in last weeks Democrat, urging resi-
dents of other States to settle among us,
&c. Perhaps it would be honest in the
Doctor to tell his readers what kind of
encouragement had been already practiced
on those who had tried it. Mr. Brewster
purchased mill property few years since
on Big Elk, and is giving employment to
about fifty hands. The mill and dwelling
houses are on opposite sides of the stream.
About year since petition signed by
large majority of the taxpayers in that
section was presented to the County Com
missioners asking for bridge at this place
and representing that it would accommo-
date the travel between Cherry Hill and
Newark. Mr.. Foard, a wealthy Demo
cratic farmer, living about mile above,
also presented a petition for bridge at his
place, and has got it. Mr.. Brewster is com
PEELED to travel at least two miles to get to
his mill with his team to carry his work
men every time freshet occurs.
Is this encouraging to manufacturers to
come and settle among us and relieve us of
a portion of our heavy taxes and buy our
farm products and give employment to our
selves and families The bridge in its
present location is not, probably, used twice
when it would he ten times at Brewsters,
and had Mr.. Brewster been Democratic
farmer and Mr.. Foard Republican manu-
facturer, Mr.. B. would doubtless have the
bridge; particularly if he had made a loan
of cash to the members of the " Elkton
Ring"
We feel that our taxes are heavy and
would do all in our power to encourage
enterprsing men to settle among us, and
by increasing business reduce our taxes. |
think that Marley and l. D. Carter, Mccall
lough Company and Elk Mills, pay more
county taxes than any fifty of their neigh
bors. And yet if a manufacturer asks for
a bridge to accommodate the working men
and children who are compelled to be at
work at light in the morning, and is not
Democrat and has not the Ring" influ-
ence, he can't get it.

Fish.-As the streams run full with the
Spring freshets, and the ice moves out and
melts with the warm breath from the
South, and the warm showers, the fish,
waiting off the mouths of the rivers and
bays, begin to run up and seek their spawn
ing grounds at the sources and among the
shadows of the streams. Already the fish
ermen are preparing their nets to trap the
inhabitants of the deep as they come forth
on their annual Spring pilgrimage, and by
an indiscriminate slaughter of the young
fish and the old before the latter reach
their spawning grounds, our streams have
we'll nigh become depopulated. The law
makers of our State have sought to enact
laws to protect the fish from the wholesale
slaughter waged against them by reckless
fish trappers, by making it an offense pun
ishable by fine and loss of property, for
taking fish in the rivers except by hauling
seines and drift nets. All set nets, and
other traps, are strictly forbidden, under
heavy penalties, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing sections of the law, which we print
in connection with this article. Of late
years a species of net, called pound, has
been employed in the taking cf FISH, Whi3n
IS sa,o to be cue Of the most ingenious con

ers all having indirect orders to attend the

NORMAL SCHOOL,.

We had recently a good opportu-
nifty of becoming we'll acquainted
With the manner TN which our State
Normal and Model Schools, at Tren-
ton, are conducted. and can unqual-
ihcdly commend the management.
Prof. Johnson, has had charge of
This State institution long enough TO
become thotoughly familiar wi h
every duty devolving on the Princi-
pal, and SO smoothly does everything
work, between teacher and taught,
Chat the progress of the latter is con
coded by those who have had the
chance of observing. The head lady
teacher, Miss Hall discharges her
duties in a commendable manner,
and the greater portion of the stu
dents being young ladies under her
Care, 'niases her position very onor-
BUS and responsible. The 'strictest
order prevails in the boarding de-
partment, where Mrs. Dean presides
as Matron-than whom 8 more ex-
cellent person could not be found
for the position. The dining halls
fthe young ladies and gentlemen
have each separate boarding houses,
are neatly arranged, and the food
wholesome and in abundance, is
served by neatly dressed waiter.-
We heard no complaining, so con-
Guided the bill Of fare was fully up to
that of the average of frst-class
schools. Several improvements have
iatelybeen introduced, in the board
ing houses new heaters have been
arranged, and in the school several
class rooms have be IN enlarged, af
fording greater facilities for teacher
as we'll as scholars. The Cornell
seats have taken the place of the less
convenlentarrangement. These con-

boarders. We experienced great
pleasure in visiting this, our State
institution, and were kindly and
~courteou5fy treated by all connected
with the School.

Cove of the beautiful live there, or
people who see not the beauties of
