The Fish LAW.

-
Farmers who reside in the vicinity oi
our fresh water lakes and ponds complain
bitterly in regard to that portion of the
fish laws of Maine which pertains to the
capture of black bass and white perch.
The law now reads "Noperson shall take.
catch. kill or fish in any manner for black
bass or white perch between the first day
of April and the first day of July fol-
lowing" Now, the commencement
OF the close time on the first day OF
April is all right. but TO have it
end on the first day of July is unjust to a
large class, for about this time having, the
busiest season OF all the year commences,
and the industrious farmer has not mo-
ment to spare for recreation. The city
dweller, on the contrary. usually has va
cation in July, and therefore plenty of time
for sport accordingly he fishes and depletes
the ranks of the perch and bass. So that
when the farmer has leisure TO fish the
last of July or first of August. the fish are
either caught or scared SO that he can
hardly get a nibble. 1t is manifest that
the trainers of this law were not hay-mak-
ers, for had they been they would have OBJ
waited its present disadvantages. The
close time should terminate the 18th OF
June or the Goth of July, then all could
have hand at the royal sport of angling.

the comment made that other excursions
had been given for fifty cents, Under
the circu instances we think the officers
of the the Flora were more liberal than
those of any other boat giving excursion
this season. The excursion was given
for the benifit of the Sunday School and
the children were taken free. We think
anyone who would refrain from going,
under the circumstances on account of
price were not only illiberal but very
small souled.

LETTER FROM COLUMBUS
COLUMBUS. OH1o, Jan 25. 1882.

COLUMBUS. OHIO, Jan 25, 1882.
Ed. SPIRIr-Dear Sir: 1t Is now al
most four weeks since the organization
of the Legislature, and very little Of i'm
portance has yet been done. Afew 10
cal bills have passed the House, but M
bill of general nature has yet become
law, no not even the joint rules of the
two Houses have been adopted So The
work is going on slowly. Shortly after
the organization, we were told, by our
Republican friends, that tue session this
winter would be very short one. This
was encouraging to the minority as we'll
as to the majority side of the Hose
for am certain there is- meta man on
the minority side who wishestesprolong
this session single day., but it looks
qnite different now. AT THIS early date
about two hundred bills, have been, in.
troduced in the House, and about one
third as many in the Senate. All these
bills must be considered or some body
will be mad, so it looks as though this
session would not be as short as was a,
first anticipated. by our friends on the
other side However, they have it in
their power to make this session short
or long one. nS
Temperance measures are pouring
into the Legislature as, freely as the
wafer flows in early spring time, yet the
real temperance agitators are having
nothing to do with them. There are
no local option petitions this year, and
no petitions come from that large body,
which knocked so earnestly at the door
of the last Legislature. 1t looks as
though the temperance people have re-
pudiated the Republicans and do not
propose to ask for any temperance leg
islation this winter. They say that the
recommendation in the Governors mes
sage is shrewd dodge to give the Leg
islature power to regulate the traffic in
liquors, that it will take at least three
years to get such constitutional amend
ments through; that the intention is to
stave them of, for that length of time,
and at the end of course, it will be de-
feated. Colonel Pond has come to the
front with his bill this winter. 1t is
about the same as the one introduced in
the Senate last winter, and passed in
that body, but failed TO become a la "
by being defeated in the House. A doz
en- or more such bills are pending In
both Houses. Mr.. Littler introduced
one in the House, repeating The first
