?iaa aaa3 Ms a LOCAL, AFFAIRS The Union League, A —Will meet at the Juniata Engine House, Valley street, on Saturday Evening, 9th March, at 7 o'clock. By order, M. Hiney, Secretary. The Republicans of -Lew is to ton are invited to attend a meeting of that party at the Town Hall, on Tuesday Evening, 12th March, at 7 o'clock, for the purpose of nominating candidates for Borough officers. jas>" Rouse's Star Combination Troupe performed Uncle Tom's Cabin in the Town Hall on Monday evening, and last evening Ten Nights in a Barroom, to de lighted audiences. There was at first a disposition to hold back on the part of la dies and others, but as all arc now satis lied that this is no merecompany of strol ling players, but well-behaved persons and withal creditable performers on the stage, crowded houses have followed their first exhibition. Papers in towns where they lately appeared speak highly of their performances, as will be seen from the following which we copy from the last Bellefonte Press. "Mr. House who, with his Combination Company, has for some time past been ministering to the pleas ure of our citizens, left on the early train '.ll Monday last, for Hollidaysbttrg. where tie proposes to remain for a time He met with such flattering success while here, that he lias concluded to revisit "its during the April Court, when under his supervision will take place tii dedicatory services of Bush's new hall, now almost completed. "He was well patronized here; and in ret-Uin gave general satisfaction. The community was very favorably impressed with the entire troupe, its members being sober and gentlemanly without an exception; and for this reason we hope that in Holli daysourg they may meet with the success they de serve. The audiences winch greeted them at this place, were invariably large and respectable, and yet, >. might be expected, there were—indeed a very fevw who protested against it. and bemoaned what they e-teemed tho demoralized condition of society. Their were not urged ouly against this particular troupe, but against theatre-going at any time 01- place, in most cases the parties objecting were those who knew practically next to nothing about theatres and ii follows that their opinions should not he taken to the exclusion of those whose observation has led them to another conclusion. Still every man lias a right to entertain an opinion for himself, and that .•pinion, when honeftly indulged 111. is entitled to re spect. It is said that we are to judge of the tree by its fruits; and if this is so, what estimate shall we place on the doings of this troupe! The tendencies of their plays were in the right direction, since their object was tiie inculcation ol sound morals, by showing that punishment was sure to follow a vicious course of life while on the other hand was portrayed the reward of integrity, and the happiness attendant upon an up right life. "Truth" we are told, "is stranger than fiction," and lest some may think tiiat the benefits re sulting to the community by the presence of this troupe, were purely imaginary, we would beg leave to eail their attention to the fact, that during the nine the fompntiy was in town, there was less riotous eon •iuct, and fewer exhibitions of drunkenness to be seen, than iu any other two weeks of the past year.— The play occupied the Attention until after U o'clock, when it was too late to commence drinking, and con sequently when the audience dispersed the people went soberly home, as became good citizens, while in the case of many otherwise disposed to drink, the next day was spent in earning the price of admission to the next play. The presence of the company was ruinous tu the owners of billiard tables and saloons Indeed we were informed by one saloon keeper in town, that their stay cost him about fifty dollars; as ordinarily lie took in from five to ten dollars each evening while after their arrival he made nothing, and in order to nave gas and fuel, closed his saloon and attended the play. In short the troupe proved itself a powerful ally of the Good Templar organiza tion. and this being the case, who would not wish it well." GENERAL ROW. —A series of distur bances, comprising smashups, fights, as saults, &e., took place at Yeagertown on Saturday night and Sunhay morning a week, which will result in several suits, such as gambling, selling liquor to minors, riot, assault and battery, &c. Dike all similar cases liquor was at the bottom of the whole affair, affording another strong argument for adopting some plan by which the traffic can be restricted within such limits as to preclude evasion of the law. In the western end of town we also hear of serious complaints made against parties who were but recently before court and escaped with lenient sentences, but who, if these reports are true, have not abated one jot or tittle of their former practices or changed the character of their visitors. We think the court would do well, in all such eases in future, by chang ing its practice of giving aininiipum sen tence into the extent of the law , and per haps a heavier raid on their jiockets an, j (Strode's run,! on Friday evening, March loth.

The county Superintendent is also expected to be present. The temperance petitions thus far for warded to the Legislature, including a few signed by "minors, sons and daughters of citizens of Mifflin county," number from 1200 to 1500 names. The Good Templars in this county now have seven Lodges, and probably a thousand members, many of whom are regaining health, strength, and home peace and happiness. Scarcely a week elapses in which some letter, circular, or newspaper, addressed "Press," Lewistown, Pa., does not come to hand. The Press was discontinued several years ago, and there are but two papers published in this county, namely, the Gazette and Democrat. teS" To convince all that we have the cheapest lot of Goods in this market, we will be pleased to show them to any w ho may drop in to see us, whether they wish to buy or not of J.

His fresh mackerel and shad can't be beat; but the latest and best, is his new Olive Chemi cal washing soap, the best in market. Fish.—The preservation of fish in our rivers and streams is drawing public at tention, and as it is in the spring, when the majority of fish ascend streams for the purpose of spawning, that their de struction is accomplished, we would again suggest the formation of a county associa tion to enforce the laws. From this time forward we may look for frequent viola tions of the trout law, which cannot le gally be fished for in any stream until after the Ist April, and in the Kishaco quillas until the loth April; and its posses sion of such fish is evidence sufficient to convict, violators can readily be punished. It is also illegal to fish with a seine or set or use any kind of a net in any of the ereelcs of this county at any time, an act which, if carried out for a few years, would stock every creek, and again ren der fish more plentiful in the river. Col. Worrall, the Fish Commissioner, in speaking of this subject, well says : "Our law is, as far as I can see, suffi ciently explicit in its provisions; but if you want fish, those provisions must be enforced, and their enforcement depends upon the people. Piratical fishing must be stopped. You can't "have your eake and eat it," as the saying is. If after the fish get up through our fisttways, and deposit their spawn above dams, and when the poor little shad fry are making their way toLheseathey shall be caught in fish baskets and sold by the bushel, how are we ever to get shad back into the river? Our law is sufficient to prevent this now, if the people living along the river will take the thing in hand and prevent this wholesale murder. Every justice of the peace has the pamph let laws, and the law on the subject, ap proved 80th of March, A. D. 1860, can be referred to at any time. If only' piratical fishing be stopped we will eventually have our fish back —and that can be stopped if our people will be vigilant and do away with the murderous fish baskets —which they can do under our present law. Now I will give the people due and timely notice that much depends on themselves, if the plans we have adopted prove such as to admit the fish above Columbia." The remarks relative to piratical fishing will apply as well to trout, pike and other fish in our smaller streams as to shad, salmon, rock, perch, &c\, in the .Susque hanna and Juniata.
