PROF. HARTz' ENTERTAINMENT. - Miss
Marsh's theatre, was packed full and running
over last night. For while after the seats
had been disposed of standing room was sold,
but it was not long before even standing room
could not be had and many were turned away.
Each person who purchased ticket received
two envelopes. There were of course blanks
and there were also numbers in the envelopes
and each person who got number received a
present. If space would allow we should like
to describe some of the wonderful tricks per-
formed during the evening, but suffice it to say
they are all new and performed in the neatest
manner known. For instance, he holds bird
cage before you and tells you to watch it, but
when he has counted three it hast disappeared

articles enough to fill Saratoga trunk The
entertainment closes with the Indian box trick,
which is perhaps, the most puzzling of ALL
The most interesting thing, however. to those
who have numbers, is the distribution of the
presents. Those who have numbers select
committee to draw for the principal gifts, and
last evening the drawing resulted as follows:
Mrs. Jennie Hyde barrel of flour, Mrs. A. E.
Grady silver plated castor, Miss Duke China

For the last four or five years young salmon
have made their appearance in the Penobscot,
near Bangor. A portion of the Kenduskeag
has been full of them, leaving no doubt that
planting and protection of those fish have prov
ed an unmistakable success. A very good run
of these fish has also visited the st. Croix the
past year. In 1873 some thousands of young
salmon were planted in this river at Vancebo-
ro, in 1874 $4,000 fry were contributed and
turned into Dobsis stream. This contribution
had marked influence in adding to the num-
Der making the run this year. Satisfactory re-
suits have also been obtained from planting SAL
mon fry in the Medomac river.
The demand for brook trout, land-locked sal
mon and black bass to stock waters in various
sections Of the state has been far above the
ability of the commissioners to supply.
1t is recommended as matter OF economical
expenditure, to unite with the United states
government and sister states for the produc-
ton of ova and fry of land-locked salmon 10
stock the waters of the state. The commas
sioners complain of the non-enforcement OF the
laws for the protection of fish In Moosenead
Lake and other waters. and recommend "a GOOD
square law for the whole state, that from the
first of October until March or April there
shall be no fishing of any kind whatever IN our
fresh water lakes, ponds and streams The
commissioners say that sit is not the fish and
game of the state that is killed for food by the
consumer that depleteS the forest ana Stream.
but it is what is killed to sell. The people OF
Maine pay their taxes, pay all the expenses OF
her game and fish protection and legislation,
and when their crop of game and fish is ready
to harvest, men from other states come In and
harvest and carry off and sell the crops for
profit. Men from abroad come into our woods
and in violation of our laws hunt our deer with
packs of hounds, while they feed on our fish,
caught by net spear and trap"
The demand for black bass has been steadily
increasing from year to year. Good accounts
are received from most of the waters of the
state stocked with bass seven years since, and
subsequently. Twenty-Five ponds and lakes, in
a wide range of localities in the state, have
been stocked the present year.
The Penobscot Salmon Breeding Works at
Bucksport have not been in operation this year;
the lateness of the appropriations at Washing
ton for the U. S. Department of Fisheries did
not admit of the usual contribution from that
source. In consequence the commissioners were
unable to sustain the works and will have no
salmon eggs or fry to distribute next year. 1t
is in contemplation to resume operations in
Bncksport the coming year. The beneficial
effects of the distribution of salmon eggs and
fry is apparent in Penobscot and other waters
by the large number of small salmon that have
been seen and caught. Land-locked salmon
have been distributed in several ponds and lakes
in different localities.
