The Weather, Present and to Come.


The very heavy rainfalls since last Sat-
urday have greatly interfered with the
wheat and hay. On Saturday afternoon
there was regular cloud-burst of rain
accompanied by as heavy hail as ever fell
in Staunton. On Sunday there was another
rain storm, and about dawn Monday an
other cloud-burst. The heavy flood has
greatly damaged the gardens.
DR.. Hicks, the weather prophet, predicts
for July that the last storm period Of June
will run into the opening days of July. which
so far has been verified. He says storms
all through the spring and summer OF 1895
will be directly under the pressure of the
Jupiter equinoctial center, and hence,
"cloudbursts, waterspouts,' and the like
are some Of the characteristics to be looked
| for, with drouth and hot winds in regions
subject to such. From about 5th to It'll,
! look for very warm wave, ending in severe
storms. The 10th to 18th is another storm
period which will result in high tempera-
ture, black clouds, and much storminess
and buster, with hard local rains. The
18th and 10th are reactionary storm CEN
tiers, calling for high temperature and re-
newed storms. From 21st to Oath is a
marked storm period. Expect one of the
warmest spells of the summer, ending in
active thunder storms, about these dates,
with change to cooler following. The
9th to Goth, constitute reactionary period
in which warm weather will end in summer
storms,

The Fish Law Officially Construed.

The fish law affecting the Shenandoah
river and it's tributaries, three OF which,
North, South and Middle rivers. are in
Augusta county, has been puzzle, in that
the special law of March I'd, 1894 is in APP
parent conflict with the general law OF
March 5th, 1894. Mr.. J. c. Baker, the
Commonwealth s Attorney of Shenandoah,
gives the following official construction of
the two acts which Will be of interest to
fishermen:
WOODSTOCK, VA, June -, 1895.
Dear Sr:-In answer to yours OF this
morning, [ will say, the act approved
March 81, 1894, for the protection OF fish
in the Shenandoah River and its trlbuta-
ries, is special law governing the time
and manner of catching fish in the streams
therein mentioned. and is the only loac ap-
plicable to those streams. The act APPROX
ed March 5, 1894, amendatory of section
2l0s of the Code of Virginia, is general
law in relation to unlawful fishing, and
does not apply to the Shenandoah River
and it's tributaries, except so far as it pro-
vides prohibition against injury to fish
boxes, &c., of the fish commissioner, OF
any private person engaged in the artificial
breeding of fish, and injury to fish eggs and
young fish placed in the streams. This
general provision, OIL provision OF the gen
eral law, is applicable to the Shenandoah
River, as well as other streams, for the
reason that there is nothing in the special
law in conflict Herewith, and being gen.
eral law it applies.
Our special act of March 2, 1894, pro
hibits the catching of any fish of amy des-
cription, bg ana methods or means, from
Shenandoah River and it's tributaries be.
tween the LIST day of April and the 10Th day
of May in each year.
1t further provides, that black and pond
bass can be killed OIL captured IN said
STREAM and it's tributaries at no time except
with a hook and line, (which shall not be
construed to include trot line), and then
subject to the provisions of section one OF
the act, viz. between the LIST Of April and
18th of May, in which period they can not
be killed OF captured by any means.
This is the only time April LIST to May
18th, in which any one is prohibited from
catching fish in the Shenandoah River
The method by which fish may be taken at
certain seasons differs, but the time i'll
which fish may be captured applies to al
alike.
A general law never applies where the
provisions of the special act are in conflict
with its provisions.
An examination Of the Acts OF March "a
and March 5th, 1891 will show that the
time for catching bass, as provided IN the
act of March 2, is in direct conflict with the
provision of the act OF March 9Th and the
act of March %. being the special law is the
act by which taking of fish from the Shen,
andoah River and it's tributaries is govern
ed. Very truly,
J. G.. BAKER,
A fOrnaV far the Common wealth.

HONEST VS. DISHONEST.
SILVER AND SILVER-PLATED WARE.

Owners of twelve large department stores
in New York have been indicted for SELL
ing inferior goods.
Cheap metal goods stamped ''sterling'
OF s'coinn have during the past year been
widely advertised and sold to the public
who supposed that owing to the compare
lively low price of silver bullion they were
buving genuine article at small cost.
Legal investigation has recently shown
that large quantities of these goods stamp
ed sssterling'' Oh ''coin'' are made OF brass
OF other cheap metals, either timed over OF
bearing light wash of silver. Govern.
ment assays were made and thirty out OF
thirty-one Of the samples purchased fell
short IF the requirements OF the law. low
this gross deception is being brought to
light under the New Y ork State law.
Silver-plated spoons, knives and forks,
and other table ware have also been lnclud-
ed in these misleading advertisements, and
great quantities Of worthless stuff palmed
off as first quality goods.
One result of this investigation is that
'sDry Goods Silverware" becomes unsafe
able and is no longer advertised as leader
in those big department stores.
TO be assured that you are getting value
received for your money every time, buy
your silverware from legitimate ]eWeler

"DOte" Bell, a noted negro thief OF
Staunton rearing, who is out on his own
recognizance taken by the Allegheny coun-
ty court, enlivened his liberty the other
night by shooting at another negro. He
was bailed to answer the charge of trying

Shepherd house at Clifton Forge, and in
return for being prosecuted, has threaten.
ed to burn Mr.. Shepherds house down, a
threat which keeps that gentleman con-
stantly on his guard.

writ of error from the Court of Appeals in
the case Of his client, Joshua Slower. a
white man and persistent petty thief, who
incurred life sentence lately for stealing
two or three pounds of bacon-it being his
fifth conviction for petty larceny. It
seems the poor wretch is an habitual
drunkard, which makes him steal to get
| liquor.
