ELOIN. 2 Tiero, howover, as in so many ‘other cases of oqual importance to mankind, Elgin comes to the resous to rodoem the State from impending disgrace. It may bo quite superfluous to re- mind people that Elgin is an energetio, bustling, thriving, porsevering littlo town, It bas started, luutemfl, and encouraged more industrios, per-. haps, than any town of its eizo. It has a watch factory, a cheoeo factory,woolen factorios ; it hea an insana suylum, some millionaires, ono bum- mor, and n fire fond, And mow {t has fish pouds, and yestorduy it formelly innugurated aind orgnnized a fish culturists’ nesoviation. = THE OATHERING, Tho thing waa done in tho Town Hall in an off- ‘hand, almost informal mauner, as if it were & matter of avery-day ocourrence for thls remark- ablo Buburb to project aud perfoot onterprises for tho benofit of the human race. A call had ‘eon jssued to all who took an intorest in the breeding of fish to moot thore and organize a gocicty, and in response thore assemblod quite & numbor of gentlomen ,ro prescnting some of the most important countics in tho Btato. Among those who came wero Col, XK. K, Jones, of Quincy, Xik; Natban E. Ballou, of Do Kalb County; Dr. W. A. Pratt, o Elgin ; H. Gifford, Tlgin; S. M. Church, Rockford; C. I. Howeman, ~ Rockford: M. J. B. Bawkios, XKenlakeo; D. G. Boan, Kankakee; 8. W. Ray~ mond, Ottaws; David H. Donny, Kanlnkee; Jomes M. Pyatt, Chicago; 8. H. Btoward, Kon- dull County; Juseph Jackson, Millington; Lo Ballo County; Dr. Lo Baron, the Btato Ento- mologiet ; Homer Wattles, McHonry County; Charles H. Atkins, Chicago; David 8. Ham- mond, Cook County; Lowis Ellaworth, Naper- ville; and others interosted in the movement. DR, PRATT, who was mainly iustrumontal i bringing to~ gethor the genticmen, was awaiting their arrival at the Elgin depot with this maminfi s 'bus and soveral bupgles to con- vey them ' to his flah-farm, - where they coula enjoy thomeelves by firat watching, then ontching, and thon eating somo of the cholcest specimens of broole trout before pro- ceeding to business, - This oocupied soveral agrocable hows of o dulightrnl day. Dr. Prait’s farm is situated on a high ridge, about two 1wiles north of tho limits, ~Here he has devoted bimeelf for feur years or eo to the artificial propagation of trout end salmon. The grounds reem to have beon naturally sdapted to such & rpose,—a woll-wooded hiil-side, sloping down 1nto several ravines, through which a plentiful stream pusuoes its break-neck journey, formin, o succossion of cascades, Dr. Pratt availe himeolf of these natural- advantages, by con- structing & number of artificial pouds,—there are now twenty-nino of them,—in which to culti- vate his fayarite and profitable pursuit. DAVID HAMMOND has dovoted & portion of his farm to the same purpose, and these, it appears, aro the ouly im- portant places devotod to this brauch of culiure of which Northern Illinois can boast. ‘The visitors were enthusiastic over tho sight of tho trout in theso ponds, Thore wers not very many variotios, but thore wero largo pum- * bors of them, and ench Eond contained speci- mens of grayling, brook tront, and salmon, ranging io tho matter of ago from the spawn up to 3 yoars old. ‘ From tho conversation heard around tho pond nmuuithn gentlemon, it was inferred that Dr. Pratt bad boen succeeaful in demonstrating sov- eral important facts in relation to the breeding of trout in Illinois waters, and in oxploding not a few fullacics, Ho has shown, for instance, that brook trout can be cultivated in hard water as well as in soft, and that they cau live and tlourish in » temporature higher than 65 and as high o 80 dogrece, 3 .

This was a dainty ‘way of preparning men for an aftcrnoon session. TIE CONVENTION, About 2 o'cloclk the delegatos assombled in the Town Hall, ad, without muoh formality, the moeting was called to order by Dr. Pratt, who mado the following roemarks upon the occasion : Tsuppose wa have com togsthicr to-day for fhe pur- pose of discusaing the merits of urtificial propagation of flsh, and the profite of fish culture in Ilinols; to form o fish-culture association, and devise means b which we can perfect laws for the protection of fis) aod fish-culturists, and securo better qualities of fish for reatocking our deploted Inkes and atreams, Itis cluimed by old fish-culturist in tho East that one acre of watar, froi 3 to 8 feet deop, will produco more food thau three acros of laud, ’L‘Eul may be tho case in some of those Eastorn farms, but I very much doubt it on acro of water Wil ‘Troduce we much food A thres mcres of the rich rairia soll of Tilluols, It ia probable, however, thot oro {8 wora fnonoy 1 an tcre of good water property stocked with fish, than in three acres of laud, The great advantage gained Ly artificlal batching of fish sggs, 18 that almost ull tho miout valuable fish tbat lay fheir cggs du tho fall, and fishthat deposit” (beir eggs n tho full ure thoso that take loug time to hatcli, 80 that a much smeller pocentof tho egge oro hutelied, natursily, thanamon @those which doposlt thelr eggh in the sprlng.

PROTEOTION. Mr. Ohureh, of Rockford, suggosted that the idos of fish-protection was animporiant cle- mont in {mm&g the Constitution. Ho wanted somo syatem adopted that would stop thie drain- ing of our rivors by seining, Tho only rosson Lie conld sce why tho Statehad not passod a law about this was on the supposition that fish was on- Iy usoful for the amusement of & few sporling |, gontlomen of loisure. Fish wos an artiolo of food, and all nations were dirocting their attontion to this mattor. * He was anxious for thoe protection of food-flsh in anll parts of tho Btate, and he aekod that thisidoa be included in tho Constitu- tion, It was nccordingly dono. Mr. Chburch l\'usut on to rematk that he had scen momotimes a wagoo-lond of black baes hauled with a singlo seivo. his own_town, this onco camo to guch hoight that the Council had to pass an ordinance in rogard to the romov- al of fish offal, which bad become a nuisanco, and threntened o pestilenco, The Conetitution was ndopted scction by sec~ tlon. Mr. Hammond suggestod the drafting of some 18w to bo presented at the Legislature for the protection of food-fish, s Mr. Pratt gaid thot could be dono at the fall meoting of the Socicty. FISI FOR THE EXFOSITION. The Chairman staled that the Diroctors of the Exposition in Chicago wero negotinting with Beth Green, of Now York State, with a view to Lavo an exhibition of fish. The Btato Agricul- tural Socioty had put s similar msattor in the hands of a committeo, of which ho wns one, and he thought tho Socicty would give $1,000 toward building an aquarium, Somo conversation followed npon tho subject. OTFICERS. The maeting thon procecded to elect perma- nent oflicers, with the following result : Prestdent—E. K. Jonon, Vice-Presidents—W. A. Pratt, Charlea H, Atkins, Leowis Ellsworth, C.

The Btate I;:alr Mll:l be held in Soptember, from the 14th to tho 19th, A committes of thrce—Messrs, Hammond, Ballou, and_Steward—was appointed to propare » law in relation to fish-protection, to bo pre- sented for tho consideration of tho next meet- ng. ?& voto of thanks was tondered to D.

CALIFORNIA FREIONTS, | The Towa through lines continue to bs con- corned sbout the diversion of the Pacific busi- ness via tho Ohicago & Alton Railrond. Tho fact is, thore are moro ronsons for the Jast movo than appear on tho surface. If Jay Gould shiould obtain control of one of tho three Iown lines, tho pooling arrangement would soon bo abandoned, and Gould's line would monopolize tho business, Woro there now but ouo lino to Omaha [nstoad of threo from, Chicago tho buale ness would certainly pass over it.
