Adjourned Fish Commissioners
Meeting.

M1CCbAu&s
Fish Commissioners of New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Delaware, met in
Philadelphia on Monday on unfinished
business, and 1t was definitely settled
that the sturgeon fishing season was in
future to be confined to the time inter-
vening between March 1st and July
10th.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey asked
for all fishing to be closed during the
time from July 10th, to August 18th, in
order to allow the food fish undisturbed
to travel up the river. This could not be
settled on account of the season for fish
ing of several valuable varieties in lower
Delaware being at that time a sacrifice OF
which would be great loss to Delaware
fishermen.
New Jersey asked the right Of making
arrests in Delaware waters. This was
defeated.
"The Sunday Law" was discussed. i.
Attempts were made to have the date
settled governing the time for opening
and closing the fishing for the week. It
was asked that from sunset on Satu rday
until sunrise on Monday be specified
and that none be allowed to have their
rendezvous for fishing purposes until the
Monday sunrise. It was finally settled
and from Saturday at sunset until mid
night on Sunday was the time fixed.
In case of an agreement on all subjects
presented and to be discussed, the COM
missioners will petition the legislatures
OF their respective States for the passage
of acts in accordance with the resolutions
of the meeting. Another meeting is to
be held at an early date.

Bribery at ELECTIONS.

Politics is very fascinating to the Ameri-
can citizen. When poor man deposits his
vote, he feels proud satisfaction in the
thonght that his ballot has killed that of q
millionaire. He returns to his wretched
hovel and to his ragged, half-starved family,
unaware that this very ballot-box, SO pre-.
cious to him, has not only built up the mill
lionaire, but made him and his paupers
After little space, when he offers his labor
in vain, be finds that this ballot of his is the
only property he can sell, for it is always in
demand, and in sheer desperation he barters
it for bread, as others have done before him
for whiskey. Senator Edmunds, one Of the
purest men, financially considered, in Con-
gress-which is not saying much, for it is
claimed that this able and patriotic Senator
realizes heavy income from the mere use
of his name before the supreme court Of the
United States-this eminent lawgiver has
said that elections have come ts be a mere
matter Of money and Senator ingalls,, writ
ing 10 friends in the Chicago Convention,

Saved the Value of a Farm.

Seller Cough Syrup has attained q repu.
tation almost equal to Sellers Pills, and
more can hardly be said of any other medi-
cine. The Syrup should be kept in every
family where there are children, and grown
up people find it a most valuable medicine
for coughs, colds, hoarseness and throat and
lung diseases The pills are such standard
remedy in some parts of the country that a
family never thinks of doing without them.

Thomas Baldes had singular experience
recently. He was on Miles river catching
oysters, when suddenly large namber OF
patridges began falling on the water about
him, SO he of course began to secure them,
and soon had the lockers of his canoe we'll
filed with the savory birds. On reaching
the shore, the patridges, although exhausted
when put in the locker, had regained their
strength and when he opened the door sever
al escaped. He however, brought thirty of
them safely to bis home. The unlucky
birds had undertaken to fly from Second
Point woods across the river, and as they
fly only while single breath lasts, they had
miscalculated the distance and thus came to
grief.-Easton Ledger.
