Abstract from the Report Of ne Com
Missi0ners.

From the report of the Commissioners of
Fisheries and Game for 1880, the following
extracts are taken:
The total number of fish eggs to be hatchcd
in Maine this winter will be about two mil
lions.
Several hundred salmon taken ut Bucks
port for purposes OF propagation have been
labelled with platinum tags affixed to the
dorsal fin. \ record of each of these salmon
has been kept, and each tag has a reference
number. We request that any one obtaining
possession or knowledge ofany ofthese marked
salmon at any future time. will send the tag
to the Commissioners, or TO c. q. Atkins,
Esq, Bucksport, with such account of it "a
may be possible. We hope by yearly mark
ing all the adult salmon caught and liberated
in the Penobscot river 10 learn more of their
habits. Besides our desire to obtain report of
every marked salmon that may be caught in
the future we wish especially that
whenever possible some of these salmon
may be delivered alive to Mr.. c. G. At
kins ut Bucksport to be placed in the breed
ing establishment ~ Orland. An extra price
will be paid for these fish.
Eight new tshwavs have been completed
this year Thirty tishways have been care
fully inspected, and improvements and re-
pairs made to msnv of them.
Although violations OF the hsherv laws
have been gradually decreasing. yet more
offenders have been punished this year than
ever before within the same time. Besides
the prosecution. already made. there remain
in possession of wardens evidence and war
rants against offenders not vet brought to
trial There are other offenders resting in
fancied security, but whom we hope to bring
to Justice at a near future time.
In conclusion we would ask the indulgence
of those who have made demands upon us
the past year if we have failed to meet the
requirement of all. and we beg to call your
attention to the immense territory under our
Jurisdiction, and the multfarious duties that
demand our time and energies, in conjunction
with the fact that never in Maine, nor in any
State of the Union or province OF Canada,
has been equalcd, in any one year, the work
accomplished by our department in all its
branches, within the year past

A Decided Shock felt in this City and
Suburbs.

Last night mt twenty minutes of ten an
earthquake shock was plainly felt by the ma
Ioritv of the people in the city. Many were
startled from sleep by the unusual and mvs-
tifvinc sound and jar, the cause of which they
could not satisfactorily explain other than by
attrlhuting it to an earthquake or explosion.
To people who had not retired and were sit
tiny quietly in their houses the sound ap-
peared somew hat like thunder. faint at first
but gradually increasing in volume. accom-
panied by a rattling not just like anything
else but somewhat such a noise As if chains
were being dragged over bare ground. The
tbunder-likc roar increased in intensity
houses were felt to vibrate. light ornaments
on shelves were seen to move. The climax
was reached in loud explosive sound the
whole not occupying more than four or five
seconds. Some describe the sound like the
rolling Of Il table or bed or castors. gathering
strength as its moved, and coming in collision
with the wall with a sudden and loud concus-
sion. 1t might also have sounded like balls
| in the famous game of nineplns witnessed by
Rim Van Winkle in the Adirondack Noun
tains.
People coming in from the country report
like experiences IN the Ireland district of

in like manner. and from parties living we'll
nigh to Brunswick we hear similar reports.

SEVERE STORM.
Telegraph Poles Blown Down and
Much Damagd Done.

/ NEw YORK. ;. T. NJ. VIA New Haven.
/ The se,erest sleet storm for eight wears
/ occurred here and along the coast between
midnight of Thursday and this morning. All
| telegraph wires from the Western Union and
other companies building. including the wire
of the New England Press. were wrecked by
! the great weight of ice accumulated upon
them. OF the five hundred wires leading 10
all parts of the country from the Western
Union building not one has been working
since IL o clock this morning Hundreds Of
| telegraph poles in this city have been dragged
into the streets by the strain of the ice laden
wires, and masses of broken wire arc trailing
from house tops into the streets, in many
places ohstructing travel. No dispatches
have been received from the south,
west, north or east since i0o'clock this morn
ing by the Associated Press.
All mails are behind time to-day. from IN
) hours. Telegraph wires in Brooklyn and
on Long Island have shared the same fate as
those of this city.
There was great eNcltemI NJ in the offices Of
the Western Union Telegraph Co. through
the forenoon. wire after wire refused 10 do
duty. The great operating room in the upper
part of the building was fu- the first time un-
able to handle the daily business in press and
private dispatches. No estimate can he
formed of the number ut wires down. One
of the officials of the company said the loss
would not exceed S3J0. .o00. Another placed
a rough estimate ut halt y million, including
of course loss ON business. In Canal street
eighteen poles are stripped of their wires and
the storm has left the latter dangling from
every lamp-post, awning and tree On
Narick street from Dominick to Carmine.
seven poles lay across the car tracks buried
under confused mass of iciclc- fringed wire.
Houston street is inst As bad No ears could
get through on either street. The elevated
railroad travel suffered from wires being
flung across the tracks necessitating slow
rate of speed, with frequent stops by each
train 10 enable a man 10 60 out and cut the
wires.
The Sound boats arrived safely this fore
noon but had tempestuous trips. The busi-
ness at the produce, cotton and other ex
changes was almost suspended to-day, owing
to the great storm. No accidents were re-
ported at police headquarters to-day, owing
to the fact that wires connecting with all the
station houses were down. The fire depart
ment wires are down and it is impossible IL
get an alarm of fire from any quarter.
Arrangements have been made with the
police to run TO the nearest engine house in
case of 4 fire and give the alarm. Most of
the streets are blocked up with broken tele
graph wires. Reports from all places by
mail tonight, state great damage has been
done bv the storm TO trees. houses, telegraph
wires and roadways.
