II Is very probable that the scalp
law which was repealed In the last
Pennsylvania Legislature will be re.
stored In part. 1t seems to be the de-
sire on every hand to have at least a
premium on fox scalps, and II may be
that others Of the most Obstructive
animals and birds will be included 10
the bill. Hon. A. 8. Helfrich, who
will have no opposition for the nom
ination aud very little In his elec-
tion to the legislature has promised
US to do his utmost to have bill to
that effect brought up and considered
favorably, and there will be mem
bers from other counties who will do
the same. We hope they will be suc-
cessful.
At a meeting Of the Pennsylvania
Fish Commissioners at Harrisburg on
the I'd, 1t was decided to buy carp fry
In sufficient quantities to meet the
large demand for these fish. 1t was
also resolved not to furnish more than
two Thousand trout to each applicant.
The secretary was instructed to cor
respond with the Matching houses and
ascertain the number Of trout on
hand, with ~ view to a pro rata dis.
tribution. A resolution was adopted
directing the secretary to request
market masters and others to sc,
that no flesh are sold out OF season
Persons catching front less than 81,
inches long will be prosecuted an,
war will be waged on shbask cts
The commission will visit Allentown
shortly to inspect the hatchery a.
that point.
Brother Lumbard OF the Selinsgrov
Tribune came within an ace of beinl
killed on the railroad mt Selinsgrov
Junction n few days ago. He wa
standing on the west track intentl
/ watching coal oil train going up Of
the east tract. His reverie was brok
EN- by the sharp whistle OF a freigh
engine which came tanning down th
/, track on which he stood and had ap
a preached him within eight feet whe
, discoved. He leaped to one side jus
In time to escape the monster whic
d, went laundering down the track
: Several eye witnesses thought he ha
been struck, but, though scare
/; ;lspeechless for the time, he escape
!; Injury, and is still with us to cautio
4 others against carelessness whil
walking on railroad tracks.
4 The Lewistown Gazette gives Judg
d Bucher particular fits for grantin
4 the usual number OF licenses in Mi
q fin county this year. We can hardl
a see the justice In the attack. W
a know personally and positively thu
4 Judge Bucher is not in sympathy wit
Il the rum element, either in sentiineI
y or action. The stand he recent
|. took in a case under him in tn
county will justify this assertion.
Is as much his duly to grant licen,
a. 1t Is to sentence men to hang, au
% experience has taught all that !
J. takes no pleasure Ia either. 1t is h
v. duty to see that the laws are execu
r ed as laid down in the statutes, an
n not to make new ones. Personal d,
IT sires or public preiudices should n,
'f bias his judgment, and any one asl
ing 1t is not only very inoonsistel
u but extremely impertinent.
