Fish i'm our Rivers.

BRUNSWICK, Dec IA, 1876.
Mr. Editor-In reading so much of the re-
port Of the fish commissioners as relates to the
stocking of the different rivers and ponds,
am, with many Others pleased to learn that so
much has been done and the prospect is SO fat
tering for the restocking of sail rivers with the
valuable fish that used to be so plenty in them
Mr.. Dean Guift of this town now alive and on
the streets every pleasant day, has caught in
drift net in one night in our river near the
mills, twenty salmon. Shad and alewives
were also very plenty. But what is the use of
trying to do anything here in this river, the
Androscoggin, if the fish way on the lower
dam is not as it should be for them to be able
to go up. Mr.. Stilwell was here last fall and
learned from him that the appropriation was
not sufficient for the work contemplated in
relation to this place. We hope this work will
receive its fust appropriation, for the time for
the young fish to go up the river will soon be
here and they cannot 60 up as the fish way now
is The fish way on the factory dam is first
