a large attendance and great enthusiasm.
The universal determination was ex

A terrible explosiou of giant powder,
No. 1, occurred at the west shaft of tho
Hoosao tunnel on the Uth inst. The
force of coucuesion was heard and per
ceptibly felt some distance in the adja
cent country. James Mullauy, a work
man, in attempting to warn his compan
ions of tho danger, was almost instantly
killed. Putrick Donnelly, while endeav
oring to prevent the catastrophe, re
ceived feaiful and probably fatal injur
ies. William Richards and others were
more or less bruised. The building con
taining the explosives was shattered to
pieces, and even the earth below torn in
an awful manner. A number of men
were thrown down and buried in the
ruins. Considerable damage was done
to adjacent buildings. The cause of
the accident was spontaneous combus
tion of the Prown patent exploders,
which commuuicatcd to the powder.
About two hundred pounds of powder
was thus exploded, making two distinct
concussions, John Green, blr.ster, was
standing near the building, w:th a can
of about sixty pounds of nitro-glycerine
in liis baud, and being warned by Mul
lauy, with great coolucss carried it to a
placo of safety.

Th9 Cttitura, cf Fish.
Tho report of the Commissioners of
Fisheries shows that at least the need of
restocking the streams ot Pennsylvania
is fait, and thnt the woik is progressing
rapidly. Terrible havoc has been made
amoug the finny tribes, especially in the
tribe of shad, lor the he t lew yeais. By
the uso of drift nets in the loner portion
of our rivers, by tho shortness ol what
is called "close time," or the violation of
the law for its obscrvanoo, und by the
wantou destruction of the young shad
on their way to tho sea, our streams
liave been depleted til) the larger fish
eries have ceised to pay. Some species
that are found elsewhere were not
known iu l'cnnsylvatrtu until within a
very recent period, when tho commis
sioners begau to introduce them. At
present shad, pike, perch, brook and
salmon tjout, Southern black bass, and
British, New England, and California
salmon, are being cither extensively
propaged or newly introduced in the
Delaware, Lehigh, Juniata, Susque
hanna, and various smaller streams, that
in Eugland would be reckoned rivers,
but are here called creeks. The Con
estoga was Ftocked by tho accidental
bursting of a country gentleman's -h-pond,
and other streams have been re
plenished by privato enterprise. The
egiis are hatched in boxes. here na
ture unaided would produce but 2,0i0,
it brings to life when aided by art 08,
000. 'I he young fish ure cared for till
the sac attached to the lower part of the
belly is absorbed, when they attain their
uiajority and can set up for themselves.
T he State hatchitig-house completed
last fall, near Marietta. Lancaster county,
is on one of tho wcli-knowu Donegal
sprii.gs, tlio water of which is said
rarely to vary in temperature more than
two degrees during the year. The
amount appropriated last year to the
commission was SI 0,000, which would
have covered all outlay but for an un
expected royalty that the commissioners
were compelled to pay to Mr. Setli
Green for the right to use his shad
hatching boxes, it became neces,aiy
either to suspend operations (in which
cose the efi'ort to stock our waters this
year would have failed), or else to ex
ceed the appropriation. This the com
missioners very wisely did to the amount
of Sl,8-')1 .iJ2, hel'.eving thai the Legis
lature would willingly make up the- dit
lerenee. ,'1'hc explanation ol this real
ity on hatching boxes is an interesting
episode in the history of invention. Mr.
Suth Green, the, well-known fish cultur
ist, of Rochester, N. Y., found that tho
eggs were swept out ol his boxes by the
stream flowing through tl.cm. lie re
duced the euirent. '1 his resulted in de
struction, lie put mo.-quito netting
around tlie boxes nnd saved five
per ceut. One day he tipped up one
i nd of a box accidently, and noticed u
peculiar rotary ino;io:i imparled to the
water, in coiim quet-.ce ol which ll.e eges
were left iu the Lex iu sal'e'y. The
problem of hatching shad was so! d.

w.i s. J lic:C, a:; a mi an-: ol transit over i
lams, are ea-i:y made for ul kinds of
fish except rd.ud, for which none a vet
(ievis d seem to he of any use. The
shad being an exe. -suavely tiui uoiis fi5h,
afraid to pass men the shadow of n
liiide, will fail to surmount that which
would prove no oUtac-lo to salmon, perch,
bass, i r any other inhabi'aiit ol the wa
ters The cotuii.is-ion. is had one entu
: leted ou a uew plan last December at
t'olumhi.i, aud it ii believed that the
diad will ascend it without difficulty.
The iuipnrtanee of this commission, and
its work to tho people of Pennsylvania,
is very great. When the colwiywas
first settled its game und fish were
among the chief inducements t ) adven
turers. The former has iu a great
measure disappeared, like the Indians,
before the advance of civilization. The
latter means of subsi.-dauce was begin
ning to disappear when private enter
prise attracted le'lutive attention to
the necessity of preserving it. Should
it once moie become as plentiful audits
cheap as ot old, it. would be a luxury
for the rich, and a vast improvement
upon the diet, uud consequently the
well-being of the poor. When the work
now in hand has been dono successively
and fish are as abundant as in colonial
days, it wi'l be time for tame to take
iis turn. There are vast tiactsin Penn
sylvania which, with the consent aud
greatly to the advantage ol their owners,
might be used us game preservers for
mauy years to come, and it would be
found that the officers charged with
their control weic doing for the public a
work uot less valuable tluii that accom
plished by the State Commissioners (if
