We clip the following from the WaynesLurg
Messenger, because it is warning to some OF
our people, and notice to our Fish Wardens.
If fish are to be preserved in our streams, the
law must.be observed. No county has streams
better adapted for the propagation of fish, but
it depends upon the people to execute the law
Our Fish Wardens are John X. Grotz, and {.
f. Margerum of Catawissa. Their salaries are
$50. 90 year:
We have been requested by Peter Brown,
that complaint has been made to him about
proprietors of Saw Mills on the several streams
of the county, permitting the saw'dust TO fall
into the stream, thereby poisoning the fish,
| This will not be longer permitted, and in every
instance persons so offending will be proceeded
against according to law. Mr.. Brown would
further give notice that all violations of the
| Fish Law-such as seining, gigging, netting,
etc.-will be promptly prosecuted in every IN
stance where known; and in this connection he
would also say, for the benefit and information
of those disposed to violate the Fish Law, that
they are in danger of detection when least sus-
pectirg it, as there are persons in every section
of the county whose duty it is to report all such
violations of the law. Mr. Brown would be
very sorry to have to prosecute any one for
such violations of the law, but as it is made
his special duty to do so, he is determined to
enforce the law without "fear, favor or atiec'
tonn

Judge Elwel has filed decision in the Will
Transport city bond case, granting mandamus

"the conceded ability, experience and impair
