me Fish Commission.

We are informed that Leslie A. Lee, Prof.
of Natural History at Bowdoin College, will,
this evening, read a paper upon the work OF
the United States Fish Commission during the
season of 1881. The scene of its operation
during this season lay along the southern
shores of New England, it having been extend
ed from year to year, changing annually its
headquarters, Peaks Island being occupied in
this way in 1873
The object of this commission is one OF the
most important that eng lagos the attention OF
our government, being an investigation OF the
alleged diminution of food fish along our sea-
coasts and in the lakes of the United States
with view to obtain the necessary data for
restoring the supply. This work commenced
in 1871 at Woods Hole, on the south western
portion of Cape Cod. 1t was continued in 1872
at Passport; the next year at Portland, and, as
has been said, this last season along the SOUTH
ern shores of New England. Prof. Lee was an
assistant in this last seasons work and he will
give an account of it this evening. Incident
ally this investigation of the fishes leads to the
most thoroughly scientific exploration of the
profound depths of the sea that has ever been
attempted Thoroughly equipped and proyid-
ed with all the appliances known to science
they are making us familiar with the "Won-
ders of Creation as exhibited in the varied
forms of animal and vegetable life at these
great depths of the sea, and an account OF
them by one of the actors in the work must be
full of interest.

North Conway.

The thirteenth annual installation of the
officers of Mt. Washington Lodge, No. 81, of
A. F. and A. NJ, took place at Masonic Hall
Thursday evening. The ceremonies were
highly interesting to the large audience pres
emit. and were rendered more especially so from
the choice selections of music by the North
Conway Musical Association" consisting Of
some twenty members, under the very skilful
leadership of Mr.. Thomas P.i Murphy, whose
fine piano accompaniment are too we'll known
to need further introduction. The following
are among the selections upon the occasion =
"Gloria from Mozart's 18th Mass" CANCEL OF
Peace by Keller" chorus from the Mes
siah, 'sAnd the glory of the Lord" song
CLARK to the sleigh bells" by 7. P. Murphy.
The citizens of North Conway are certainly
under great obligations to Mr.. Murphy as well
as to the association for inaug urating this most
delightful company of native musical talent.
We trust that they will invite the number of
good singers in Fryeburg to join them, and be
able to give as good chorus of fine voices as
are heard among the mountains of the old
Granite State. The festivities closed by q
grand ball. H.. W.R.

Father McKenna.

The month mind of the late Rev. J. F..

at St. Dominic's church by a solemn requiem

O'Dowd, master of ceremonies. Within the

Rev. P. f. Healy, S. j., of the Georgetown,
D. c., College, Revs. 7. P. Linnehan of this

nounced the absolution, then delivered feel
ing eulogy of the life and Christian labors of
the deceased. The services were very solemn
and impressive and were attended by very
large congregation. Appropriate music was
rendered excellently by the fine choir OF st.

The Police Vacation.


Thursday morning under the heading of
Another Order from the Mayor" the Argns
published the following:
SIT has been the custom to allow to each
officer of the police force vacation of ten
days during the course of the year, and SO far
several of the best of the officers have not
been off duty for one day, and the ten days
would, up to within few days, have been put
to their credit in the case of sickness. Some
thing like week ago Mayor Senter ordered
Msrshal Bridges to report the men on duty and
not to allow of any vacation unless substitute
was furnished, or the pay stopped
The Mayor was out of town Thursday and
did not return until Saturday. He says that
in a communication to the Board of Aldermen
he stated he should order the Marshal to adj
here strictly to the rules and regulations in
future, unless otherwise ordered by the Board.
This was done because departure from the
rules, favoring sick policemen, had led to
part of the late difficulty. As the rules make
no provision for vacation, under the above
notice several of the policemen would be de-
barred from one, but the Mayor will right
this matter and equalize it,

A curious state of things has developed in
Cape Elizabeth. For near two years Jesse
Dyer was in law with Curtis & Soule to drive
them from an ice pond which they had leased
from him. The Supreme Court decided that
Jesse Dyer had no right to have the ice pond
he claimed, hence no right to lease it; that the
whole thing is a public nuisance. But in spite
of this decision Jesse Dyer has cleared the dam
and has already allowed his partner (Burnham)
to cut ice; has scraped away the recent snow
from the pond and is in full movement to har-
vest the usual crop. Query-Does the Supreme
Court have any authority in Cape Elizabeth?
