increased the discomfort of the ro TO me,
was the news | received by an Indian mes
scnger, with letters announcing that the Pea
cock had not yet arrived.
We finally succeeded in reaching the top
of the hill, which is about fifteen hundred
feet high, by zigzag path, literally climbed
by steps which had been made by the hor-
ses' feet, and without which it would be
impossible 10 mount it in the direction we
did, the clay is so slippery.
After reaching the crest Of this ridge, we
were amply repaid for our labor by one OF
the most charming views saw in Oregon,
extending to distance over the luxuriant
country, while at our feet lay one of the
beautiful prairies, bedecked in every hue Of
the rainbow, with the Chickeeles winding
throughit. We descended, and passed over
the prairie to some Indian lodges, whose in
habitants were squllid anil dirty as usual ;
and as an evidence of their want of natural
feeling, near by lay one of their horses,
with one of his lore-legs broke short and
just hanging by the skin. To the question,
why they did not kill the horse, they gave
no answer, but looked at the interpreter
with apparent contempt and, listlessness.-
DESTROYS of avoiding The loiges, with their
Inmates and vermin, we proceeded about a
mile beyond them, and encamped on the
edge of fine forest of pines.
Notwithstanding hard rain fellrduring
the night, we passed it very Comfortably
The Indians supplied us with some fresh
salmon, which they had already begun 10
take in the rivers that were in sight from
our encampment. They reported that the
river was navigable for canoes, though occa'

Arctic WHALE FIsHNo.-Our English
papers make the following mention Of tho
company which Captain Penny has formed
for prosecuting the whale fishery and loca-
ting permanent settlement in the Arctic
regions ;
"He designs to employ propellers in
whale fishery in the bays and inlets Of Da.
vis's Straits. A colony is TO be founded in
the inlet known as Northumberland inlet,
or Hogarth Sound, in about the same lali-
tude as Archangel. In this locality there
are not only excellent fishing grounds, but
great stores of mineral wealth, especiSlly
plumbago. The company will send out two
screw steamers Of 500 tons each, in the
spring months, 10 the seas between Green
land and Nova Zembla, and later in the year
the steamers would start for Hogarth Sound,
so as 10 arrive before August. They would
remain there until the ice forms in Novem-
Der, when they would return to England
with the produce, leaving the settlers 10
prosecute the inshore fishery, and store up
The proceeds until the return Of the steam
crs in the spring"

Where will II endt

We published some time ago an account
Of the production Of living insects, resem-
bling flies, from inanimate matter, by means
of peculiar application Of gaIvanim. The
experiment was made by distinguished
.savan Of Liverpool, in the presence Of and
Nouched for by number of learned gen.
tlemen. The following do not go quite so
far, but they show the progress of the age
ARTIFICIAL PRoDUcTIoN OF FIsH.-The
French Government is continuing 10 act on
the admirable discovery of Gehin and Re-
my, fishermen of the Vosges, for arti6cially
formulating the eggs of fish. 1t has, in
particular, caused ito be practiced on a
grand scale at Huningen, and the fish pro-
duced by it there are, on arriving at GER
tain degree of maturity, to be sent into diff
ferent rivers and canals. In the Southern
Departments, also, the same system has
been practiced with extraordinary success.
1t consists in collecting the spawn of the
female fish, instead Of allowing them 10 de-
posit il in the beds Of rivers, and in apply
ing il to the mit of mates, instead Of leav-
ing the males to do it themselves. The
eggs thus prepared are preserved until they
become haiched. The consequence is that
many thousand fish are thus produced from
each females spawn, whereas only very few
indeed are obtained when the fish are left TO
finish the formulation themselves, owing to
the eggs being devoured by other fish,
washed away, or injured by dirt. Rivers,
streams, canals, lakes and ponds can thus be
made TO teom with fish and a new branch
of commerce is thereby created, whilst an
abundant supply of wholesome food is OBJ
tanned. The expense of applying the sys-
TEN of Remy and Gehin is very trifling in
deed These men have been recompensed
by the Government for the great services
they have been the means Of rendering TO
the public. Their plan is applicable 10 all
sorts of fish that spawn in rivers.
ARTIFICIAL PRoDUcrIoN OF CmcKENs.-
A Mr.. Cantlo, in New York, announces to
the American public that his patent appara'
tus is the only earthly means Of Matching
eggs at all to compare with nature, which
it perfectly initiates. For one hundred
dollars he supplies a machine equal to fifty
setting hens, and as true and regular as a
clock. Nearly all the prizes in England
have been taken by fowls hatched with
these machines. They arc no experiment,
as three thousand are now in use in Eng
land, by farmers and the learned societies.
