The fish Commissioners of the State are up in ariiH against the fisherman who are taking fish out of the Susquehanna river by illegal methods.

Of course tliose da m s are owned and controll ed by big corporations who are fight ing for tho supremacy iu freight matters, whilo the mm with the spoar may want a mess of fish for himself and his hungry children, and not having the money to stand a suit in court is compelled to sti p up and meekly pay his line or g. to jail Below Columbia dam tho fish ars so plentiful that they have be come a drug, aud if that obstruction were out of tho way tho fishermen of tho upper Susquhonna would not need to resort to illegal methods to obtain a mess of fish.

O-l'i. Jacou CiiAMtii, Middleburgh. It may not be generally known, but such is a fact, that hot water will much moro tilVctually quench thirst than ice water or even ordi nary cold water. Most people shrink from tho thought of drinking a glass of hot water ou a warm day. Natural ly such would bo tho case, but tho shrinking from it is u mistake. It would prove a little heating tempor arily, which will lx followed by an agreeable coolness and an abatement of thirst that will surprise. It will not cost much to mako tho exper iment. Recent decisions of several courts iu the slato have about definitely outlined tho sources from which auditors are expected to draw their pay for their various services ut elec tion time. Judgo MePhersou, of hebunou, and Judgo Simonton, of Dauphin county, have concurred in tlio decree that for holding meetings for receiving certificates of Humilia tions aud nomination papers, hear ing objections thereto, and with drawals and tilling out certificates for watchers, tho township must pay tho auditors, but for arranging bal lots, correcting proof, going to and from tho printing ollico aud dis tributing ballots to tho proper of fices of any toWuship, tho cost must bo paid by tho county commission ers, hueii a rule seems exceedingly explicit aud should obviate any fu ture misunderstanding between au ditors, thoir townships and the coun ty commissioners about pay for tho election services rendered. The Rain. m "All signs fail in dry weather," is an old saying winch carries some truth with it, but tho heavy rain-fall over the whole Atlautic Slopo on Monday night was au exception to this rule. We did n.t have a good, soaking rain since June, and every thing was parched and burned, but on Monday t he t roe f rogs commenced to crook, toad stools had sprung up during the night, the flies bit liko mad dogs, spiders were busy weav ing their nets, and surest of all, grand pap Jacob Boufcr of Middle burgh, had mowed his lot. This last sign had never failed to bring rain and our people began to take hope when in tho after-noon of Mou day, tho fluids began to thicken, the weather-vanes pointed to the sounth-eat, and the heavy vaporous clouds banked up like huge bowlders in tho north-west.
