On the first of last November the Fish
Commissioners of the State gave notice
that all fishing in Island Pond, "Spec'
tacle" Pond and Back Pond, was pro
hibited for the space of three years from
that date, under provisions of the act
approved Nov. %, 1876. This prohibi
ton does not expire till Nov. /, 1882
We are informed that many times Of
late this law has been disregarded, and
fishing has been INDUCED in where still
forbidden. This is all wrong. 1t i;
outrageous. The good which must
follow from the observance of the law
is plain to every one, and the evil
which must come from its disregard il

Fish Protective Association can dc
something in the matter, and we would
suggest, if necessary, the calling of a
meeting of all who feel an interest in
the subject, for an expression of the
general sentiment. We believe that
this alone would do much good.

large part of the marriage service
was rendered by the Pastor in the sign
language, the proper responses being
also made by the parties in the same
way. The Church was appropriately
trimmed for the occasion, by the fore
thought and love of friends,-the pair
standing during the service under IL
triple arch-way of Evergreen which
spanned the chancel. BY special re-
quest the service was preceded and
followed by the singing of appropriate
