RESTOCKING OUR STREAMS WITH
FISH.

AS opportunity offered. the SPECTATOR has
had few words to say In aiding Colonel Mar.
shall Mcdonald. our State Fish Commissioner
in his efforts to fulfill the important mission
in which he is SO earnestly engaged. We oc-
casionally have protective laws. but they are
indifferently obeyed. 1t requires more than
legislation to secure early benefits The abso-
lutte determination of the people to protect the
streams from the habits of rowing parties and
persons dIsregarding the rules of angling must
be exercised If the public blessing of wel-f1lled
streams with fish are ever to be obtained
Colonel Mcdonald is now at the State hatch
cry near Wytheville, which is operated by the
United States Fish Commission with which he
is also engaged. Last Wednesday, one OF the
railroad cars of the commission arrived In the
city under charge of Mr. Geo. H. II. Moore with
principal streams of the county-the car hav-
Ing left the hatchery at Wytheville the morn
ing of the day it arrived here. AT Waynesboro'
junction, Mr.. Moore sent forward me ssenger
with five hundred California trout to be placed
in the South river near Weyer's Cave. After
reaching the city, he despatched, by special
conveyance, two thousand salmon which were
placed in Middle river above Mr.. Andrew
Bowling's mill dam. He furnished Colonel W,
L. Bumgardner. the Augusta County Commits
sioner, supply of red-eye perch and Lake
trout for the Fair Grounds lake, which were
through the activity of Messrs M. G. Treiber
and Harry Wagner, soon at liberty in their
future home, and these gentlemen also went up
to Buffalo Gap with the quota for Buffalo
branch. On the way down, Colonel Parsons. at
Natural Bridge station, received:some Lake.
and California trout for bis ponds.
Later and in the fall season has been gen.
orally considered the best time to make trans
fers from the Archery to streams but perhaps
the want of time after having to depend on
theirown efforts, the young fish could not put
up a winters store of food, and for that reason
may have persisted. Colonel Mcdonald is now
trying an earlier transfer with the hope of bet
ter success in our streams. The car which gave
US the call Wednesday returned to the hatch
cry Thursday. 1t is a complete home for the
young of the finny tribe as they go out from tn e
spring-pools of their birth to cut their way for
the future in ripping currents or beneath the

THE SPECTATORS PARNASSUS CORRESPOND

Augusta and settledin distant States were from
the neighborhood of Parnassus as appears by
the frequent references which come to us in
their letters expressing the pleasure derived
from reading the Parnassus correspondence as
it regularly appears in the old journal which
goes to many reared in Augusta, and who have
caused its weekly visits to be made to them in
their far-away homes. This accurate cores

TEMPERANCE LECTURE.-Rev. E. D. Hanna,
of the Ohio Wesleyan University, of Dela-
ware, Ohio, delivered a lecture on temperance
in the End Baptist church on Monday night
last. The notice was short, and, cons =
quence, the audience was not large. He IA
vSred the use of the ballot as the only effec-
tual way of protecting the homes of the peo-
pie against the ruinous effects of the saloons,
and maintained the proposition that there
were noaO but two parties-the prohbitionists
and the anti-prohibitionists. If the Republi-
can and Democratic parties are dead they have
the appearance of being very lively corpses.
He assumed too much and proved too little
and that was the matter with Hanna.

EIy's Cream Balm was recommended to
me by my druggist as q preventive to hay
fever. Have been using it as directed since
the 9th of August and have found it specific
for that much dreaded and loathsome disease.
For ten years or more have been a great suff-
erer each year, from August 9th till frost, and
have tried many alleged remedies for its cure,
but Ely's Cream Balm is the only preventive
have ever found. Hay Fever sufferers ought
to know of its efficacy.
