DEATH OF M. B. PERSON, ESQ.

We regret to learn, by the last Fayetteville Caro-
lnian, of the death ola worthy and estimable young
friend in Moore County. The Carolinan says:
Z" We regret to hear from Carthage of the death oil
Murdoch B. Person, Esq. He fingered several years
with consumption. He expired on the morning of
Wednesday last, I'd inst. Mr.. Person had several
years years ago represented the county of Moore in
the General Assembly of North Carolina, and had
he lived, would have been one of the most popular
men in that county. He was an amiable man in all
the relations of life, and goes down to untimey
grave, loved and lamented by all who knew him.
"Could tears retard the tyrant in his course;
Could signs avert his darts relentless force;
Could youth and virtue claim a short delay,
Or beauty charm the spectre from his prey;
Thou still hadst lived"

RAISING FISH. This doubt is novel idea &c
many, but that it is perfectly practicable, has beer
demonstrated, both at the North anti South We
have a small streamlet in RHsseli county, damn
ed for milling purposes, and have that pond
filled with fine fish ever sported in any waters
trout, redhorse, jack and perch-and that without
any artificial means Of getting them there. Our coun
try is full Of small streams that might make beauti-
full fish ponds with very small expense, to say nothing
of the beauty and convenience of having sheet oil
water near. Why shall we not raise fish as well as
chickens2 A gentleman in the vicinity of Saratoga
has realized handsome fortune in raising fish for the
hotels of Saratoga. There are hundreds of Planta-
tons at the South where fresh, delicious fish might
daily grace the table. We give from the Working
Farmer, an extract upon fish culture, and commend
it to the consideration of all having the means of do
ing likewise:
s'In the county of Ontario, New York, ] found,
says he, the plan of fish pond very commonly adoP-
ted. Its varied uses may best perhaps be learned by
a description Of two three which have visited.
West of Seneca Lake, the second of two OF three
ridges which run North and South, parallel to this
Lake, is large one, and he has constructed pond
which accomplishes several purposes. .s-.
On the side of slope, covered with marshy ground
he has thrown breastwork across 10 the extent of
about one hundred yards. This forms pond Of
from one hundred to hundred and fifty yards
square, and about nine feet Deep Some three or four
springs pour their water into 1t. The ground be-
low the pond, to the extent of some six or seven
is nearly reclaimed having been previously too
wet to cultivate.
The water of the pond is conducted off to the
southern part of the hill and lower down, through
underground pipe, that throws it on several wheels
which move a grist mill.
The fish in this pond are chiefly trout, some sew
enteen of which, according to the statement of Mr..
Lee, were put n.about seventeen years ago. Since
that time, least two thousand large sized and well
favored fish have been taken from the pond, with Out
any cost to the family. The table can, at any time,
be supplied with any number of these delicious fish.
grass grows in the pond through which the fish
make by-ways and highways, and in which they take
great delight. This, probably, is the means by which
they cleanse their surfaces of the secretions taking
place continually. The meat of the fish is said to
par,ake very much of the pleasant favor Of the grass

Giant-a veritable giant, and mistake. Angus
McKaskill is but l9 years old, it is said-is now
nearly eight feet high, and is still growing: He is
well proPortioned, intelligent looking, and. by the
time he attains maturity, will be tall one indeed.
His shoes sixteen inches long, and his cap big
around as a bingham bucket; everything else about
him in the same proportion. The gentleman. under
whose charge he is exhibited, states what, if fact
is very remarkable one, namely, that seven years
known and noted as dwarf-he was then but three
feet high, and weighed only "a pounds. Since that
time he has grown eight inches year on an average,
and has not done yet. He now weighs 400 pounds
and has strength in proportion: He offers to Lift

MOTHER however, cautioned him, when he left home,
against indugng in uncommon exertions of strength
