We this week announce the formation OF
the tenth council of Sovereigns in our state,
which entities US to state council. The
constitution provides that "Ten or more SUBJ
ordinate councils, working in any state, aud
desiring the formation of state council, may
make application to the secretary of the Ma.
tional Council, and the president shall there
upon, if there appears no proper cause for
delay, cause notification to be sent to all
the councils in the state, appointing a time
for the organization of the council, and that
ale shall issue a dispcnsation, and shall be
present, in person or by deputy, to institete
such council"
We do not suppose it is best for the Yer.
mont Sovereigns to be in any hurry about
forming state council, though New Hamp-
shire, with only | | subordinate councils, has
just done so. While the order grows as
rapidly as it is now doing, the longer we
delay the organization of state council, the
better and more extensive will be the mate
rial from which to select the officers. Prob
ably the number Of councils will double in a
few weeks, and that will be soon enough to
start

We must take issue with our correspond
cut Experience" who think the money ex-
pended in experimenting in restocking our
rivers with fish is uuwisey expended and that
the legislation authorizing such expenditure
is especial legislation" We hope for much
good to result from these experime nts, and
trust that the laws for the protection Of fish
may be strictly enforced. There certainly
is no greater delicacy for the table than fresh
fish, and we are glad to see that Vermont is
not behind her sister New England states in
making experiments having for their obje,t
the making of fish as plenty in our waters as
they were in the days Of the red man.
Whether such results can be achieved or not,
We think the large majority of Taxpayers
will feel that their money has not been put
to the worst possible use. Besides, We have
our doubts about this special session of the leg
islature, called for a special purpose, ha wing
any authority to go to passing laws pertain
ing to other matters; certainly it would
hardly look like the becoming thing for them
to do.

Editor Vcrmont Farmer.

Editor VCymon Farmer:
As an extra session OF the legislature has
necessarily been called to appropriate mon
ey for the rebuilding of the reform school,
| Will ii not well become that body to curtail
all needless expenses and to abolish entirely
whatever is of no use to the state. 1t is well
20 experiment TO II certain extent ut the ex-
pcnse of the state for the benefit of the state
as n whole, but there should be limit, and
ms ono of the many tax payers of the state of
| Vermont protest against any more money
being paid out for fish to stock our rivers
and brooks, for the following reasons ::
| Nincty-ninc hundredths of those who pay
the taxes derive no benefit whatever. But
very few comparatively speaking live near
10 the rivers, so that if they were inclined to
fish it would be more expensive than it
would to purchase them, and again, not one
in ten of those who live upon the very banks
of our rivers indulge in the sport sport
say, for it does not pay. II these reasons are
true, and no one will doubt them if they will
| give II few moments thought TO the matter,
then we are compelled to come to the con-
cusion that it is special legislation for it is
making experiments with the money of the
whole state which Mt the most can be of
benefit to but few. Fish and wild game
retire before the advance of civilization like
the night before tho flce of the sun. This is
one of tho unavoidable laws of nature. and
until We can make Dame Nature change
some of her acts all the fish commissioners
that we have with their medicinal knowl-
edge can not restore and preserve fish in our
rivers and brooks. Last year. nearly $500
was expended, and how long this has been
| going on is more than can tell. But Judg-
ing the future by the past il is quite certain
that it will continue for tho next two years
without the coming session abolishes the
concern, which it is in duty bound to do in
order to sustain the reputation for econom y
which it now has. This is board of educa-
ton only on little smaller scale. Now the
fish commissioners claim that they have put
II large quantity of fish INTO our brooks and
rivers, (and they ought to have done so
| Judging from the amount Of money that has
been oXpended.) Let the legislature pro-
hibit their being caught for the next three or
five years, and by that time tho experiment
will have been fully tested. Let every leg
isator consider this matter well for we tax
payers do not care to have our money used
Tor experimental purposes when there are
so many ways in which it could be better in-
vested for the good of the state.

the p. & o. road finished, the cheapest line
Of transportation for the crops of those por-
tons Of the West within convenient reach Of
the lakes, to the Atlantic, will be through
Vermont, and through St. Johusbury. We
think, then, that Vermonters may well feel
to exult that the completion of this road is
so near, and the Vermont Patrons merit no
condemnation for having passed resolutions
favorable to the speedy completion of the
Caughnawaga canal.

Yesterday the 5uh inst, His Royal Highness the
Prince Regent received at Iolani Palace Dr. James
Scott. Acting United States Charge d'Ahaires. who
introduced Commander j. : Skerrett. L.. ;. Navy
Commanding u. 5. Ship Portsmouth. who then in
troduced to His Royal Higbness the following
officers Of that ship Lieut.. J. f. Noel. F. II. De-
lano, Master E. y. Whitehouse. Paymas.er, and
W. II. Jones. Surgeon.
His Royal Highness the Prince Regent expressed
himself very much pleased To receive Captain
Skerrett and his officers, and could not forget that
it was he who had a year ago, at the request of the
Government come on shore with his men at a crit
ical moment. to preserve the peac4 which had been
broken by a riotous mob, and that this country
was much indebted to him for bis prompt action
on that occasion. &.
Before the departure of Captain Skerrett and his
officers. the Minister of Foreign Affairs said that at
the request Of His Royal Highness, he was about to
depart from the usual custom on these occasions,
and proposed the health of Captain Skerrett, who
about this time last year had rendered such valua-
BILE services to the Government OF this country
the health of Captain Skerrett was then drank.
after which Captain Skerrett responded as follows:
Your ROYAL HIGHSEss:-I gladly avail myself Of
the privilege to express my heartfelt thanks for the
kindly manner in which you have remembered, and
received, myself and officers; and to assure you Of
our appreciation Of this great honor.
1t is almost one year since the accession Of your
August Brother to the Throne of Hawaii.
In offering to His Regent our respectful saluta-
tons. it is with great pleasure that we present our
congratulations on the happy and prosperous condi-
ton in which we find the Kingdom, and to observe
that the characteristic of the Hawaiian people is
evidenced in their fealty to the Sovereign
am sure that 1 speak the sentiment of my coun-
trymen, when l say, that the visit Of King kalakaua
will cement more strongly the tie of friendship that
binds the Kingdom of Hawaii to the Great Republic.
Permit me to express the aspiration, that the Dy-
nasty, entering under such happy auspices, may con-
tinue to govern Hawaii for many years. I
His Royal Highness wass attended on this oeca-
sion by His Elk. w. L. Green, Minister of Foreign
Affairs ; His Elk. w. f. Allen, Acting Governor of
Oahu; Major George W. Macfarlane. and the Hon.
Major E II. Boyd. His Majesty's Chamberlain.

The End of q Wanderer.

The following is an extract from 9 letter written
by the Rev. E. I. Doane. missionary ut Ponspe. or
Ascension Island, TO the Rev. S. c. Damon:
f'I have just returned from the funeral Of Mr..
Alexander Yellott, the pilot Of this harbor. He was
an old resident Of. this island; had resided here SO
years, having first landed here in 1896, and left o
vessel of which he was boatsteerer. Save q visit
once to China and a residence for a short time on
some island southwest of this, he has never been
away from the island. He was a native Of Baltimore,
afterwards resided in New York city, by trade .
plumber. Some dissatisfaction at home drove him
off here, and here he has always lived. It is a fact l
love to record that q few months before he died he
became interested in the story of Jesus and the
Cross, and that he took that Saviour as his. Once,
he awoke from q semi-sleep and said to me-"I AN
going to Jesus - Sweet words we're those, to hear
from dying lips. He loved to hear me read the Bible.
When 1 called he was always glad to see me, and
asked to have the old Bible taken down and read.
Speaking of his past life he regretted it much, and
said If he should get well, he should live q better one.
Thus it is from all these facts / get hope to feel that
he is now in a better land. He leaves four bright
c-hildren-Thomas, Anna, David and Rosa-two sons
and two daughters. But alas, the best before them
is a life on Ponape. Those who know it viii say,
that is indeed a sad life. My heart yearns over
them-especially the daughters.
"Perhaps you will insert in the papers a notice
something like this:
%sDied, August %, 1874. on Ponape, or Ascension
Island, Pacific Ocean, Mr.. Alexander YellOtt, form
erly of Baltimore and New York city, aged 64 years.

WHOSE BUSINESS Is 1T ?-The reservoir at the head
of Kaahumanu street leaks, as a natural inference
from the fact that, standing near it one can always
hear the water running in, and that it never runs

quence while there is a plenty to be had from the

coming the case will be far different.
