1How About Dr.. Pdessley's Grave ?

The Northumberland Press is
much elated over n complimentary
notice 'hat. Gown by the Dallas
Post. We concur with our name
sake in its views of Northumber-
lands pretty girls and manly
young men" but we scarcely consid-
er the following extract a deserved
compliment:
"Dr Priestley the discoverer Of
oxygen lived there, and his grave is
pointed out to the visitor as shrine
at which the scientific tourist espe-
cially should pause and mediate"
To Northumberland rightfully be-
longs the honor of having had DIR.
Priestley as n resident. DIR. Priestley
was an eminent scientist and his
discoveries in science will never be
forgotten.
But, how about DIR. Priestly's s
grave? Is it marked in a manner
becoming to man so renowned in
sciencel But few years ago we
were told that the resting place of
tho late DIR. Priestley was marked in
the most modest way and that his
grave has been sadly neglected and
we are led to believe that the con-
dition of affairs have not yet chang.
ed.
We are glad to note that at least
some of Northumberland's citizens
know about DIR. Priestley's lasting
service to science. Some few years
ago several historical and scientific
tourists landed in Northumberland
to seek information concerning the
scientists grave and his late resi-
dence. The grave was found as a.
bove described. The house was
found after an extended search and
numerous inquiries. The family
that lived in the house formerly
occupied by DR.. Priestley knew
nothing about a man by that name.
Northumberland no doubt is
proud of DR.. Priestley and his ac-
complishments, but it would be n
very appropriate thing for them to
erect suitable monument to his
memory and keep his grave in an
b.
inviting condition.

illegal Fishing.
BEAvERTowN, Pa. JUNE "a, 1896

BEAvERTowN, Pa. JUNE "a, 1895.
EDITOR PosT:
There is quite q stir amoug our
fishermen on account of the illegal
fishing that is practiced by some
parties about here. Not only are
the trout caught out of season, but
the pike, the only other game fish in
our waters, are scooped up in good
ly numbers by that great extermin-
ator of fish, the scoop-net.
Some years ago this wonderful net
was in vogue in these parts and used
so extensively, that the fish dis
appeared from our streams like the
population of country that is
stricken with the plague. About
three years ago notices, cautioning
persons against illegal methods of
fishing and hunting and fishing out
of season, appeared in public places
throughout Beaver and Spring
townships. Although the writing
on said notices was very poor; the
spelling of the Josh Billings variety ;
and the purport considered Joke,
they certainly had a desirable effect,
viz :-scoop-net fishing was almost
entirly discontinued, and slowly but
surely, the fish were accumulating
in our streams. We are sorry to say
that the scare has worn off and this
summer scoop-net fishing was again
begun with APPARENT renewed energy
Hardly day passes that the Mid.
dlecreek is not infested by these
robbers of fish in squads of two or
more nets. On the Goth inst. a party
of eight from Adams township was
fishing in the Middlecreek with five
scoop-nets. They spanned the creel
with their nets from shore to shore
and made quite a good catch in.
Guiding quite number of pike
Such fishing is certainly scandalous
and illegal as everyone knows, and
should any one be prosecuted foi
the same he will find it the most ex-
pensive fishing he can do, as the
penalty is 800. fine and forfeiture
OF nets. The Penna. Fish Commits
sioners has given due notice and
somebody will suffer for it, if the
practice is not discontinued at once.
Our fishermen are thinking them
selves imposed upon by these would
be fishers and will certainly max @
an example of some one very shortly
if they will not desist. The only
reason for not having done it, is be-
cause the penalty is so great that
they would be blamed for informing

Discord in Republican Ranks.

The discord in the republican bul-
warks of h @ state is assuming
alarming proportions. The rupture
in party so victorious is an error
objectionable. The aspirations of
Governor Hastings to become chair
man of the convention is not meet
ing with any opposition by Senator
Quay or his friends. Governor
Hastings is anxious to have still
more than this at the hands of the
Republican Convention next month.
He asks, ye demands, the reelection
of MIR. Gilkeson as chairman of the
state committee. Here the trouble
arises. Mr.. Quay, too, wants to ',e-
come the chairman of the commit
