LANCASTER LYcEUM. An enter.
tainmeut by the school lyceum was
given at the school hall last Monday
evening. The performances were
generally good, but the order among
the auditors was bad. The little
fellows, the ill-bred while away
timers and even the schoolma ms
helped the disorder The best pre-
sentation of the evening was Miss
Clara Moore's essay showing that not
every man can be Shakespeare or a
Webster-that genius helps as well as
education. Miss Mamie Foster $
essay was also good, and so was Will
Lewis's defamation. The paper
read by Miss Woolstenholme was bet

Thursday night. The safe of Mr. e

were at least three OF shem, en- cred
the office by window which Grens
on the street. The window was taS~

tening, such as generally used in con-
nection with cash balances. A pry
was placed under the window, and
the fastening broken Once inside
the the office they first attacked the
vault doors There were two OF
them-cosing towards the center.
Appearances Indicate that wedges
were driven in between the doors
until sufficient space was gained to
admit a crow-bar when the bolt of
the lock was broken off short. The
safe was one of the old style. A hasp
closed over the key hole, loked with
paddock. This lock was taken off
without any apparent damage. They
opened the safe by cutting down
near the edge Of the door with cold
chisol, exposing tbs bar which moved
the bolts. Then by means Of crow
bar the bolt bar was removed giving
easy access To the interior of the safe.
The money and bonds were in an
iron money box inside the safe, but
the door OF this box was soon knock
ed TO pieces and the coveted treasure
obtained.
Evidently the job was the work of
experts and had been in progress for
several week. Some Of the TOT Ia
found had been stolen from Wanne-
makers blacksmith shop, three weeks
before. and some others had been
stolen several nights before, from the
railroad depots
Mr.. BayIey did not discover his
loss until about half past five the
next evening. On Friday morning
Messrs. Spenesly & Straw, residing
half mile south of town, discovered
that a pair of horses and mule had

Fish Culture.



At your request, | will give your
readers some idea of what the Fish
Commissioners Of the State are pre-
pairing to do. AS permanent loca-
ton where we will build ponds,
hatchlng houses, and dwelling for
Superintendent, we have purchased a
site four miles south of Madison,
where we get nine beautiful springs,
furnishing an aggregate OF about
eighty inches of water from here it
is expected to stock the inland waters
with Trout, Land.locked Salmon and
such other fish as may be suitable to
the inland waters of the State and
susceptible of artificial production.
Lake water being better for hatch
inc White Fish and Mackinaw Trout,
and their spawn being only obtaina-
bic IN the lakes, it became necessary
to obtain a location near them, and
here the Commissioners were very
fortunate in having rendered to them,
free of charge, part of the engine
rJom of the Milwaukee water works,
from which they will obtain the
water to hatch with. From this point
experts viii be sent out on the fishing
smacks and VIXEN the fishermen lift
their nets the the spawn will be Sc
cured, impregnated and brought 10,
hatched and returned to the lakes
living fish. To appreciate the impor-
lance of this work, one has only to
know that the fishermen watch the
the fish on their spawning beds, then
catch then, take them ashore and
feed the eggs by millions with the
other offal to their hogs.
The Commissioners have secured
the service of Mr.. w. w. Welcher,
one of Seth Green's men, who pro-
badly has had as much experience in
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1876-05-18

breeding the different kinds of fish as
any man in the Unitad States, to take
charge of this part of the works, and
the White fish being a very different
fish to spawn and hatch, and yet of
the most Importance as food fish of
any in the state, the Commissioners
think themselves fortunate in having
secured the service of one so well
posted in them, and who will teach
others, so that in short time we will
be able to put an expert in every
fishing boat which goes out from the
shores, to secure and inpregnate the
spawn.
With such appropriations as the
Legislature made at its last session,
few years will put the best of fish in
the reach of all. A. PALMER,
Commissioner.
