The recent meeting OF the American
Fisheries Society, a National organization
of fish culturalistS, held at the Holland
House, New York, May 18th and 10Th,
was a most interesting affair \ large
number OF papers were read including one
by W. l.. Gilbert on ''Artifcially Reared
Trout and one by Charles T. Chamber
layne, Esq, on the Lapham bill, entitled
''Nationalism in State Fisheries - Not
withstanding the presence and opposition
OF Col. Marshal Mcdonald the National
Fish Commissioner, and his associates,
the following resolution was unanimously
passed after a protracted discussion:
Resolved further, that the aims and pur-
poses of this society are in direct antagon-
ism with any business that tends to depop-
Illate the waters to enrich the land; and
we therefore condemn purse seinng for
menhaden for the purpose of grinding the
same into guano or oil within three miles
from the shore at low water.
Dr. E. W. Gould, of Searsport, the
present commissioner of sea and shore
fisheries for Maine, was elected member
of the society. DR.. Gould was asked to
read paper before the society, but illness
prevented his attendance. The paper by
Mr.. Chamberlayne is spoken of as a fine
production.

OF the passage by the House of the sun
dry civil appropriation bill Webb says
in despatch to the Boston journal:
The effect OF the exposure which Gen
crai ogsWell has made of the Democratic
plans III connection with this bill has been
witnessed IN the country. But it seems
to have had no effect upon the Democrats
OF the House. General Cogswell laid bare
the Sophlstnes, sham economy and cant
at the llomanzed Democracy. He show
ed how the bill protects the counterfeiter,
encourages the moonsliners, puts out the
lights in the lighthouses and cripples the
life-SaVing service Yet Holman permits
nothing to interfere with his policy of
Wrecking the departments, except that he
saved the salary Of his own son in sine
cure which he had helped to create fol
him in one of the departments. Cen
Cogswell confined himself to legitimate
criticism, and did not waste time in use
