The attempt making by Mr.. DVury to breed
trout in Canaudaigua Lake. has been men,
toned. The variety selected by him for the
purpose, is the rcd 6eiieG' tgoat, which grows
to larger size than tho brook trout: and as
they thrive in the upper lakes. there is no APP
parent reason why Mr. D. experiment should
not succeed.
The Hartford CCt1 Coayaat has the follow
ing, relating to the same subject
at is well known that the salmon always
seeks the same place to deposit its spawn, year
after year, and thar the young return fol this
same purpose, to the place of their own bilth.
The Connecticut was once filed with this de-
licious fish, and it's well known that indi.
viduals, coming from the country for a load of
shad, could not purchase any, unless they
would consent to take so many salmon off the
hands of the fishermen. They were often sold
as low as TWO coppers pound.
We heard once an elderly gentleman of
this city, now dead, say, that when he was
an apprentice. he was one of party on Fast
Day in April, 1776 or II, eve are not certain
about the year, who went with a snail net
to the Hockanum in East Hartford, and
caught salmon in such numbers as to line the
ban6s. They We're bought on speculation
by some one and carried down to the Sound
in sloop, where they aoere captured by the
British cruisers, the fish seized and the sloop
and crew dismissed. Our informant said that
the unfortunate Spectator seemed to have at E.
forwards considerable British gold
The cause of the destruction of the salmon,
was not so much the numbers caught by the
fishermen, as to the obauuctions which the
dam at Enfield placed in the way of the des-
cent of the young fish to the sail water. A
resident of Enfield, when boy, distinctly
remembers seeing, in very dry summer,
wheh the water hardly flowed over that dam,
thousands Of very young salmon on the up
per side prevented from going down, all of
Which died there in short time.
The experiment of replenishing the river
would be well worth trying.-Jour. Com.
