The Restoration of shad.

Everybody living along the line of the
Susquehanna river would be pleased to
have its waters swarmipg in season with
that most desirable variety Of fish, the
shad. 1t is with regret that the older citi-
Eens look back to the time when they were
far more plentiful in Pennsylvania chief
river than suckers now are, and the
younger generation can scarcely believe
the stories about the great hauls that were
made before what was deemed an improve
ment of navigation caused an unquestiona-
BILE destruction of those fish.
Much has been said about, but very little
done towards restoring them to the Sus-
quehanna. Expert pisciculturists have
given their opinions as to the best method
of effecting that purpose. Laws have been
passed for that object Fish commission
ers have been appointed and empowered to
adopt measures for getting back the alb
sent and lamented shad. Eggs innumera-
BILE have been Matched and the little fry
put into the water at various points with
the expectation that like well-behaved
young shad they would swim down to the
bay at the proper season and return in due
time grown to a nice size for the gridiron.
All this has been done and yet the Susque-
hanna continues to be almost as devoid of
shad as it is of flying fish or electric eels.
But it appears that something is going to
be done to restore these fish to the waters
they used to inhabit in countless numbers.
The fish commissioners of Pennsylvania,
Maryland and New Jersey are going to hold
conference to devise some means where
by better protection will be afforded than
has hitherto been given them. The sub
ject is of great importance and it is to be
hoped that the efforts to effect something
that will furnish the people with plenty of
shad will not be fruitless, although it must
be confessed that what has heretofore been
done with considerable expense and
good deal of display has not furnished
many tish.-PatriOt

A ouANoE TO GET THE BEST DEMOCRATIC

price of the Weekly World is S1.00. On
receipt of $22O we will send the two pa.
pers to any address in the county, for one
year. Clubs of five persons at one post Of
flee can get them for $1,000 II ordered at
one time. This is very liberal offer, and
is made for the purpose Of extending our
circulation and not because there is any
money in it.
We do not believe in the chrome busi
ness. All the county newspapers are pub
lished at rates so low that the margin oi
profit is very small, and unless all subscri
bers pay up, the loss is nearly equal to the
profits. We consider that our readers gc
the full worth Of their money out OF thii
paper at $3.50 year, and we cannot at
ford to give every subscriber gold watcf
or a piano, at that price. But we will dc
this: Every subscriber who will pay uI

receive for one year, Good Cheer, monthly
paper devoted to the interests Of home ane

reading matter. A sample copy can bt
seen at this office. This offer will stanc

to get $200 worth for $3.50, should attend
to it at once.

The Liquor Law.
EXTRACT FROM THE CHARGE OF THE CoUR
TO THE GRAND JURY

TO THE GRAND JURY.
1t is possible that there may come before
this grand jury inquiries in regard to the
| violation Of the law in reference to the sale
Of intoxicating drinks. There have been
instances where apparently well-founded
charges of this sort have been ignored. Per-
haps no act upon the statute book is oftener
broken than this and grand juries ought
| not, by refusing to present such case,
on proper evidence, encourage persons in the
violation of the statute. There is 10 rea-
son, whatever mans ideas may be in re-
gard to temperance or to prohibition or to
intoxicating drinks why one should not as
grand juror act independently of such
notions, fearlessly discharging his duty by
returning to court case clearly showing
violation of the liquor law. A violation
has occurred whenever person sells
liquor without license when person,
| licensed or unlicensed, sells to one of
known Incorporate habits or to one who is
! intoxicated at the time, or furnishes to
such without selling, or to minor, or on a
Sunday, or allows intoxicating drinks to
be drank on the premises. The statutes
have specifically pointed out all these mat
tiers, and a juror is not TO carry out his
own opinions but the law, as he is bound
by his oath to do. 1t Is sometimes diff
cult to prove violations of this act. Per-
sons acquainted with the facts are reticent,
hesitate to make disclosure, and you have
to act as In many other cases, upon circum-
stantial evidence. II a sober man goes in
to hotel or saloon and comes out intox-
icated, the presumption is that he was
there furnished with an intoxicant; and il
the place is unlicensed that the law has
thus been violated; if persons more OF
less sin liquor" are seen hanging ebout u
saloon on Sunday, the fair presumption is
that they obtained the liquor at that sa-
loon. have said thus much, because COM
plants have come before the court from
one portion OF the county that this act is
daily broken, to the scandal OF good cit-
| zens, the decentralization of youth, and the
disturbance of the peace and good order of
the community. This ought not to be.
The court is no more stringent on this sub
ject than the law, and all that is required
is that the statutes shall be enforced II
matter Of this kind should come before you
at the present term, give to it fair and
careful examination and, if you find
reasonable ground to believe that the
charge in the indictment is true, present
the bill for trial, and let twelve OF your fel.
low citizens, after the defense is made, de-
| eide the issue between the accused and the
commonwealth.
Renewing the licenses of certain appli.
cants from the borough OF Centralia, the
court reminded the licensees that It would
not need the same positiveness of .es;i-

to convince a jury, but that evidence of
drunkenness or rowdyism on the premises
would be sufficient ground from which the
court might infer his unhtness to hold Ii.
cepse.

The following remonstrance was filed in

Russell, Pastor of st. lgnstius' Church:
To THE HONORABLE, THE JUDGES OF THR
Court OF QUARTER SESSIONS OF THE
PEACE OF THE COUNTY OF COLUMBIA,
PENNSYLVANIA
The petition OF the undersigned citizens
of the Borough of Centraia and vicinity in
the said county, respectfully showeth that
your petitioners labor under great incon-
venience, annoyance and even danger, ow-
unlicensed places that sell intoxicating
liquors in the town and immediate neigh
borhood; and through them the peace and
quiet OF our Borough are much disturbed
especially on Saturday nights, Sunday
mornings and during the Sabbath day by
the noise, rowdyism, blasphemy and i'm
moral language of men, and even Of grown
up boys who in the past were received in
to the taverns and saloons of this town and
were allowed to remain in them by the
tavern keeper until they became intoxics-
ted, as their drunken conduct on the
streets testified to, when they left the sa-
loon, tavern or hotel on Saturday nights or
early on Sunday morning; and that pistol
firing and such have been of frequent oc-
currence on the aforesaid occasions, to the
danger of good citizens We therefore
pray your Honorable Court to
First, To refuse to grant any more new
licenses to any person or persons in this
town or vicinity; and We ask in Gods
name to take steps to lessen the number of
taverns and drinking places in this town
and vicinity.
Second That the District Attorney be
directed to ascertain who are the violators
of the liquor laws in this town and vicinity
and when he gets the names of those who
sell intoxicating liquors on Sunday-the
first day of the week-or to any person of
known intemperate habits or 10 minors !;
and the names of those who sell without
license, that he then be directed to prose-
cute each of them for violating the laws of
this Commonwealth.
Third, That your Honors will, when re-
newing licenses for any in this town, or
neighborhood, place such restrictions on
the applicant or applicants as will compel
them to observe the laws of the State and
If it seems good to your Honors, ask them,
nnder oath, will they in future obey and
observe the liquor laws Of this State and
your petitioners will ever pray.
