Columbia River SaImOn.-S Superir

Columbia River Salmon Superin-
tendent Titcomb has distributed in the
tributaries of the Passumpsic in this Sec
tion over 100000 of the Columbia river
salmon which have been hatched from
eggs at the Hatchery this spring. The
fish varied from two to. three inches in
length, and were distributed in Sleeper's,
Moose, Wells and Passumpsic rivers.
Mr.. Titcomb thinks most of the fish will
find their way to the ocean and come up
the Connecticut river, but he does not
expect that they will get back here again.
Five millions Of these salmon will be dis
tributed through the rivers of the Allan
tic seaboard this summer. A few oi
these salmon were placed in Lake Morey
at Fairlee as an experiment and the lake
will be screened, and it is hoped the fish
will grow and multiply there. The Co.
lumbia river salmon is among our finest
of food fishes, and is everywhere in de

For Sunday Observance.-T The Rev.
DR.. M. D. Kneeland, the secretary of
the New England Sabbath Protective
League, spoke in the South church on
Sunday evening presenting the need of
better Sunday observance and the work
of his society in strong light. He said
there were three Sabbaths mentioned in
the Bible, the ancient Sabbath OF Genesis,
! the Hebrew Sabbath as defined in the
ten commandments and the Christian
Sabbath as defined by Christ. In some
parts Of America we had forgotten all
these and were observing the Sabbath
less than continental Europe. He
touched upon the Sunday newspaper,
the Sunday bicycle excursion and the
amusements, and then told what the
league had done in the two years it had
been organized. In Massachusetts it
had closed the Sunday theatre and
stopped the so-called sacred concerts; it
had closed the barber shops, bakeries
and photograph galleries and stopped
the wheels in some of the big factories.
BY big fight with the corporations it
had stopped the Sunday excursion train
and the Sunday steamboat excursions.
The league hoped to accomplish all this
in the other New England states. He
said the opposition to the work of the
league in the churches consisted of the
Indifferent, the selt-indulgent and the
States must be aroused to their duty
and realize how the Sunday is being
secuarized, especially in the cities. A
collection was taken at the close OF his
address 70, the benefit of the league.

SOMETHING TO KNOW.


1t may be worth something to
know that the very best medicine for
restoring the tired out nervous sys.
tenn to n healthy vigor, is Electric
Bitters. The medicine is purely
vegetable, acts by giving tone to the
nerve centers in the stomach, gently
stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing
off impurities in the blood. Electric
Bitters improves the appetite, aids
digestion and is pronounced by those
who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try
it. Sold for SOC. or S1.00 per bottle
at A. f. Hargrave's drug store.
