The New Fish Law.

The Pennsylvania Legislature has
made radical changes in the fish law.
The most important of these refer
to sunhsh, black bass, pike, or pick
erel, the season tor catching which
opens on June IS, instead of May 80,
as heretofore. The time for closing
the season has been extended from
December 81 to February IS The
season for catching trout opens the
same as before and closes on July 81,
fifteen days later than the old law re-
quired. 1t is absolutely forbidden to
catch fish at eny time IN the year, ex-
cept with rod, hook and line, or with
hand or dlpsy, the line having not
more than three hooks. The old law
forbids hand lines.
The fish specified in the new law
as game fish are: All species of trout,
black bass, rock bass (not rockfsh),
strawberry or calico bass, pike-perch,
or Susquehcnna salmon, pike, pick
erel, sunfsh, or muskallonge. Rock
fish, or striped bass, is called foolish,
and may be taken with rod, hook and
line, or hand line, at any time of the
year. Catfish, eels, suckers and carp,
can also be taken with rod, hook and
line, at any time of the year.
The new law provides penalty OF
$1oo fine for any one that plants Ger
man carp In any water of the State,
and this fish may not even be used
for bait. A heavy penalty is placed
on any person who catches black bass
less than seven inches long, any trout
less than six inches, any pike, picker
el, or pike perch, less than nine inches
long. No limit is placed on the size
of sunfsh.

A Remedy For Smallpox.

As everyone is more or less afraid
of the dread disease. smallpox, which
just now is giving several of the towns
in Luzerne County some concern, and
as it is liable to come down river, the
following recipe clipped from the
Stockton, (Cal.) Herald, may be
found interesting at this time. The
medical man who furnished it to that
paper says it has been used in
hundreds of cases and will prevent or
cure smallpox, though the pittings are
filing: "Sulphate Of zinc, I grain;
foxglove (digitalls), grain; half a
teaspoonful of sugar, mix with two
tablespoonfuls of water. When
thoroughly mixed add four ounces of
water. Take a teaspoonful every
hour. For children, smaller doses
