Fisnery Licenses.-- The Dominion Gov- ernment has been in the habit of granting licenses to tish in the rivers of the several pro- vinces. But, if Judge Fisher be right, that Geyernmen: transcends its power in doing so. His decision is that the Federal Government has no power to t licenses to fish in rivers beyond the point where the tide rises; that the right of fishery is incident to the owner- ship of the land, and belongs to the Local Gov- ernments, or to private owners, as the case may be. No doubt the question will go to the Su- preme Court or the Privy Council for final adjudication. —Monetary Times.

Any contributions to the library of the senool will be thankfully received by the superintendent, Mr. Paradis. —Grand Falls cor. St. John Tel.
