—Some parties at Wampum have arranged
an ingenious and successful way of catching
fish. It is a boat in which the seats are so
arranged that the boat can be dipped, the
water almost coming over the side. Just
after da skin the eveniug two men take
their places in the boat and row up one
side of Heaver river for a distance of about
a mile, keeping the dipped side of the
boat as near as possible to the bank. This
cotriranee can only be used when the river
iB on the rise, as the fish then congregate
along the shore. As the boat passes along
the shore the fish become frightened and
jump into the boat After going up,the boat
is rowed to the other side where the same
tactics are pursued. No light is used, and
the darker the night the better. The part
ies using this system have been at it for some
time, and every night come in with a large
catch. The fish are unable to escape owing
to the bottom of the boat nearly touching
the bed of the river, thus forcing them to
jump directly into the boat. There is no
law coverihg this ingenious method of
poaching, but it is probable that the Fish
Warden will find some method of stopping
it.

On Tuesday evening last the Council
held its regular monthly meeting, and the
reading of the minutes of the last regular
and special meetings aud the consideration
of the bills presented occupied considerable
time. Quito a number of small bi;ls were
approved, and a warrant was ordered
drawn in favor of Mr. Osborne, the paving
contractor, for S6OOO on account.
Tbe petition for the paving of Diamond
St. was reported to be completed, and in
proper shape, and the ordinance for paving
it was adopted. The paving is to be 20
feet wide, the side walk 14 feet, anil the
walks around the Court Hon** and
Diamond Square 0 feet.
Tbe tbiug done that evening of most
general interest was the passage of a Dog
Ordinance, which has been printed, and
will therefore be in effect in ten days. It
provides for the muzzling of all dogs in the
town, during the months of July and
August, and authorizes the High Con-table
to catch and impound all unmuzzled dogs
found on our streets during those mouths,
give notice to the owners, if known; hold
them for 48 hours, and then kill and bury
them; the H. C. to have $1 for each dog so
caught, killed or redeemed.
Several complaints were laid in against
the method Mr. H. W. Christie is taking in
the laying of his water pipes, ie opening a
long ditch and allowing it to remain open
for several days, and a motion to notify
Mr. Christie to till and tamp a.- per ordi
nance carried. The same notice will also
begiven to all the licensed plumbers. No
ditch can leinain open longer than 48 hours,
and all crossings must be covered at night,
and guarded by a lighted lamp.
The dralt cf E. Clay St. from Franklin to
Monroe was adopted; the offset at Franklin
St. is 29 fact.
The profile of E. Wayne St. from Main
to McKean was approved of.
C. Duffy was ordered to build a board
walk, along his property on Willow or
Fairground St.
The people of Centre Ave. are to be
notified to make their sewer connections
before paving; the E. Jefferson St. sewer
must be completed in 3 days; and a com
mittee of the Council will view the
Orphans Home drainage.
The question of the health of the town
wa j seriously considered, and on motion
the Board of Health were requested to
meet with the Council to consider the
matter; the Police were ordered to report
all nuisances to the Council and to make a
tour of the town, once a week.
An ordinance regarding throwing
rubbish in streets nnd alleys was adopted.
The wing walls and fills for the Centre
Ave, bridge was talked over, and the
matter is not yet settled. In that con
nection also, it was stated that Mr. Ott
had shipped his iron pipe here and that
Mr. Fullerton would not let him enter the
ground, and the sewer Committee was
authorized to give bond and go ahead.
Mr. Slater is moving his house back, and
the Finance Committee will attend to his
damages.
Changing the location of the fire plugs
will, in some cases, lessen the water
pressure, and the matter was talked over.
Curved pipes instead of elbows would be
better.
The Fire Committee was authorized to
buy new hose for the Ist Ward Co.; the
Council was invited to the Pipe Line
picnic; and adjourned till next Tursday
evening.
At the meeting of last week the Frank
lin St. sower was adopted, and bids order
ed to bo advertised for; Long & Doyle
