REPLY,

The only fish received from the United
States commissioner are the shad, which
will be distributed in Rock river and Fox
river. The balance will be in spawn, the
Maine salmon. California salmon, and some
other fish spawn. This year there was no
appropriation made by the legislature to
pay for Matching the eggs, or for express
and packing. The express on the Califor-
MIA Salmon is quite large on account of ice
that has to be carried to keepupOn the eggs,
and afterward put into Matching trays, to
remain for from forty to fifty days after
time received, and is some expense to hatch
keep till they are ready to turn out to care
for themselves. In different parts of the
state there are societies which have made
up purse to put some of them in some
lake where they fish or have grounds; and
some have built hatch houses, to hatch
their own, and will receive the spawn di-
rect from the United States Commissioner,
paying the express and packing. Not all
the spawn Of the California salmon that
Professor Baird has consented to send me
is yet engaged, and should thele be any
society or persons who wish for some of
the fish for putting into lake, by making APP
plication at once they can get some. The
spawn will come in September and October
from California Professor Baird considers
this fish the coming fish for small lakes
and rivers in states not adjoining the ocean,
where there is salt water, The United
States Commissioner will make this fish
the principal fish for distribution in the
different states this year.

THE NEW YEAR.

A gray old man toiled at the rope:
Loud rang the bell. and clear
The hour was midnight. and the tune
The passing of the Year.
And. as he toiled. the old man sang.
And laughed beneath his BREATH
He laughed and sang with glee; and yet
He tolled a knel for death.
'Old man, said l, this shameless mirth
Seems sadly out Of place;
A solemn chant. Il dirge or prayer
Would bear better grace.
The old year dies weighed down with sin,
Weighed down with lives misspent;
Come, join in my lament
Il mourn not for the past" said he,
"A new life l begin.
l do not ring the old year out
ring the new year in.
why do you wish to mourn and grieve.
This hour is not for tears;
The Star of Hope shines steadfast, pure.
Above the coming years!

And not with shameless mirth
Good cir, toll not for the dead

Come. turn your back upon the past,
And bid your grief begone;
The night is dark. but then, good sir,
Joy cometh with the dawn"
