is by leaving the peace at home to chance,
instead of pursuing it by system, that so
many homes are unhappy. It deserves no.
tice, also, that almost any one can be cour-
teous and forbearing, and patient in a neigh
boris house. If anything goes wrong, or be
out Of time, or disagrecable there, it is made
the best Of not the worst; even efforts are
made to excuse it, and to show that it is not

The artificial reproduction aud cultivation
Of fish have, for some time. been practiced
in parts OF Europe. In France it is now
carried on to considerable extent, and the
produce of some Of the streams and ponds
yields large profits The subject is now at
tracing some attention in the United States .
The New York State Agricultural Society,
IN their last premium list have offered prize
Of 500 for the best Essay on the '.Produc- (
ton and Preservation If Domestic Fish for
Ponds
Drs. Galici, and Ackley, known as dis
tinguished surgeons, of Cleveland, Ohio are
the first we believe, to introduce the artificial
spawning and domcstication of fish in the
United States. DIR. Gariek being an en-
thusiastic amateur in thisline commenced the
business III connection with his associate, DR.
Acklcy, upon the farm IF the latter, two or
three years ago. They made several trips
to lake Superior and Fort STANLEY in Cana
da, to procure troUt for stocking their
streams, and IN every instance were perfect
~ successful. except the FIRST when they lost
a large number Of fish in transportation. At
ter this, by personal attention, they found
that by reducing the temperature Of the wa
ter in the vessels containing the fish, to 80
degrees, by the application of ice, the resp.
ration and circulation in the fish was so re-
dgccd that they experienced no difficulty in
transporting them any distance with perfect
success. In this way they have procured at
different times, $50 full grown trout
Feeling an interest in the success of this
enterprise, and while visiting Cleveland a
short time since, we called on Drs. Garlick
{, Ackley who very kindly conveyed us to
the farm and fish nursery, situated about
three miles from this city. The farm con-
tains about 100 acres. Through the timber

fish two years old, and the lower one for the
fish after they have become SO large as to lie
able to protect thcmsell cs from the voracious
appetites OF the older fish Of their race.
At the head of large spring and near
the upper pond is situated the Matching
