Interesting to Fishermen.

The opinion of Judge Sanford in the case of the Commonwealth vs Follet has been published by the Berkshire News. The defendants were found guilty and fined. as reported by us last week. for netting trout in the Lee brook contrary to the statute. The de- fendants are conducting trout hatch cry on the Lee brook and had leased the land bordering on the brooS for Q considerable distance and claimed that they had the right to catch the trout by virtue of statute which permits ripar- ian owners to enclose streams not navi- gable and propagate and maintain fish therein and take them at their pleasure. The Judge, however, held that this statute will not avail the defendants, ob- serving that the ''Lee brook is a trout stream several miles in length and trout placed in it without providing enclos- ure for their control are placed at the owners risk and cannot be considered under his control" as required by the statute.
 An appeal has been taken to the Su- perior court and the decision of that tribunal will be awaited with interest.

AN APPRECIATED GIFT.

The local Grand Army Post has just received beautiful life size oil portrait of Col. David 8. Cowles, from whom the Post bears it's name.
 The valuable picture prized at over Sl50 was given to Walter s. Cowles. brother of the colonel. by his sisters. the late Mrs s. l.. O. Harvey and the late Miss Catharine R. Cowles, and is now presented to the Post by the daughters. I Helen and Frances A, of the late Walter S. Cowles. This gift is a copy of the original painting now in the pos session of David s Cowles, Esq, of Rye, N r., and will be prized highly ny every member of the organization, especially by those who were under the Colonel's immediate command.
 Last Thursday. Washington's birth day, number of comrades were assem- bled at G. A. R. hall Several of them brought the oil portrait from the ex- press office. Among those who assisted n unlocking and unvelling the portrait were Comrades John P. Proper and Ja- cob Finkle of the D. G Anderson Post, Great Harrington, Mass. These two men assisted in carrying Col Cowles' remains off the battle field. and it seems like coincidence that they happened to be present and assist in bringing the | portrait from the express office and un- yelling it.
 Col David S. Cowles was living at Hudson, N. r., when placed in con- mand of the 128th Regiment N Y. Vol unteers, and was acting Brigadier Gen. eral at Port Hudson, La.. when he re- ceived his fatal wound, May 27th, 1863. His last words were, "Tell my mother I died with my face to the enemy" His remains were inferred in the ceme- tery at Hudson. N. Y.
 Col. Cowles took fatherly or broth erly interest in every member of his reg iment, and he was in turn beloved by his men. One little incident will sui flee to-day to illustrate his deep interest in his men. On the voyage from New York to New Orleans one of the soldiers committed some little offense. The cap. tain of the steamship punished the sol dier by stringing him up ''spread eagle to the rigging of the vessel. Soon as Col. Cowles came on deck and discover ed the soldier he enquired who strung him up. When informed that the cap tain of the vessel ordered the soldier strung up, Col. Cowles rushed to hi own stateroom but soon reappeared anC
 with drawn sword he confronted tn, captain and in most emphatic language ordered him to release the soldier, ant
 furthermore he gave the captain to un derstand that whenever one of his mel needed punishment he (Col. Cowles
 would attend to that matter himself , Suffice to say the captain wilted and tn soldier was released forthwith.
