Fish Culture.
Although the artificial production Of fish
is topic upon which not a little has been
written within few years, it is nevertheless
a fact that those whose facilities are greatest
for engaging in it have rot had their inter
est awakened to the experimenting point
Among professional men there are several
instances of individuals who have given
much thought and time to the subject, and
have realized their utmost expectations
Doctors Garlick and Ackley of Ohio set the
example, and it has been followed in many
instances, and always, when conducted with
knowledge and enthusiasm, with complete
success. And judging from these examples,
it is not to he doubted that nearly every
town would have its breeder of choice fish, no
less than its short horn breeder, were those
persons who lead off in new enterprises in
possession of those advantages of situation
so indispensable in the artificial production
of fish.
Enough, however, has been proved by ex-
periments in various portions of this countr!
and also in Europe, to demonstrate the en-
tire practicability Of breeding fish for the
market or the table, and at so cheap rate
as to make it, in the hands of competent
person, quite satisfactory as pecun!ary en-.

FOREIGN VIEWS OF AMERICAN MEN. The
Illustration, the leading illustrated paper of
France,makes some astounding revelations
of the personal history of our late presiden-
tial candidates. Mr.. Lincoln, it states, was
born in Haulin, where his family is highly re-
spected. As his fortune was small, he Gi-
rected his attention to industrial pursuits, ,and
is known as "the Batboatman." Afterward
admitted to the bar, he fixed his residence at
Springfield He distinguished himself as
captain in 1.-THE war of the (des) BIack-Ha"k-
Mar" Mr.. Bell, it seems, was born near
Harlw, Tennessee. After quitting the Uni
versity of Harlw, and graduating at college,
he settled, as a lauyer, at Franklin Will: In
the United States Senate he distinguished
himself by his opposition to the Lecomplals
constitution. Having retired from public
life, he now dispenses generous hospitality
at Hoshiville. Mr.. breckenridge escapes
with misspelling of his name. But the
most novel intelligence is that concerning
Mr.. Douglas, who was born in the State OF
Illinois, in the year 1912, and who was re-
garded in the late canvass as having one of
the best chances of success All this beats
South Carolina, where the idea that Hamlin
is mulatto still prevails.-Bostoa Journal

his election. If some of our excessively sen
sitive friends would reflect lit,le,they might
probably recollect that such h;ghstruns
Southerners as Jefferson Davis have actually
been sitting in the L. S. Senate with hin
for four years. His recent election to th'
Vice Presidency does not remove him from
the body"

Lyman @. Mason----0ur Candidate for
Senator.

We have not said one word to our
readers in regard TO this gentleman. He
is so well known along the "Lake shore
counties" that we could not say any thing
to our readers of him that they did not
know as well, were it left unwritten. His
high personal character and eminent fit
ness in business capacity for the high of
flee TO which he has been nominated are
so well known that even our opponents
are poworless to say disparaging word
against him in either regard we have
named.
But it seems TO be an annoyance to
them, instead of a source of graduation,
that this Senatorial District is to be rep
resented in tho Senate of our State by so
worthy man, and in the hope to detract
a few votes from his acknowledged ma
jority, under the vain supposition that
their statement will be received as truth,
they give us through the medium of the
Clarion this week the following squib:
"With regard to Mr.. Green's opponent
we would say, we believe him to be n
highly respected gentleman, but his nom
nation by the Douglas Democracy was
the first intimation his neighbors had that
he was a democrat. He has not mixed
much in politics, and his Presidential vote
was cast for Willard Fillmore, the candi-
date of the Know Knotbing party in
1856. This is tho only political act Of
which we have any knowledge and shows
clearly that his sympathies have been,
and for aught that has appeared, still are
with party, the prominent principle of
which, is the exclusion of the foreign pop
ulation from the privileges enjoyed by
citizens until they have resided in the U.
S. 81 years. If this district composed
probably of two-thirds foreign-born citi-
zens, are prepared to endorse this princi-
pie we greatly mistake their intelligence
anu thelr PATRIOTISM.
Mr.. MAsoN's own statement that he
"Did not cote for Millard Fillmore" is
all that is necessary to that part of the
squib-which statement Mr. MASON has
given us-and we place it in contrast to
the assault. He is thorough Democrat,
was born n Democrat, has always voted
the Democratic ticket, and the Clarion
has a perfect right to make itselfa laugh
ing stock by such statements, differences
or transpostions of Republican principles,
or attempts to foist them upon the Dem
ocratic party, as those we have quoted,
and we will join in the laugh.

DIED.-An inquest was held before
Coroner p. VAN DEN BERG of an un-

of the goth inst, on board the propeller

The MAINE ELEcTIoN.--The black
republicans are in extacies because they
have not lost Maine. -Four years ago
the majority for Fremont was 24,974.-
The black republican majority now is
claimed TO be some 10000. 1t will be
considerably less than this when the
whole State shall be heard from. But
suppose it to be 10000, and the black
republican loss is nearly $4,000.
Maine has been an opposition State
for many years. 1t gave Gen. Pierce
but one thousand majority in 1852, when
he beat Gen. Scott so badly, the latter
carrying but four States.
The JOY of the black rpublicans at not
having lost it now shows how thankful
they are for States which have hitherto
been theirs by indefinite majorities.
IfFremont was beaten so largely with
twenty-five thousand majority for him in
Maine, whatkind off sign is it for Lincoln
now that the black republican majority
there is but twelve thousand, and probably
not moro than nine thousand?
Maine may go for him, and so may al
New England. 1t has happened moro
than once that the Presidential candidate
carrying all New England has not beer
elected. John Adams carried all New
England against Jefferson, but Jefferson
was elected.
The democracy of Maine have done well
They have cast more votes than at any
former election, and have reduced the
black republican majority twelve or fifteer
thousand. They will do better il

PRICE, THIRTY DOLLARS.
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE
Now in use irrespective of Price,


We ask attention to the following points of
excellence in WEST & WILSON'S Machine.
LIST. Its simplicity, and the drectness with
which the power is communicated to the needles.
This is great desideratum andin this VIC claim
decided superiority over all other machines.
I'd. The needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached to a small wheel driven by larger
one, instead of TO the long arm of a lever, as in
most machines, with power upon the short one.
The latter arrangement necessarily makes tho
motion of the needle both circular and weak,
while the former gives strength and direetncss.
3D.. The great power and directness of the
motion enables us to sew all fabrics, from gauzo
to four thicknesses of leather, with almost equal
case, and the Machine can be made to run,
without changing needle or thread, through all
the different thicknesses, from n sheet of paper
to heavy leather, and back and forth without
dropping a stitch or breaking n thread. We
know Of no other family machine of equal ca
paeity.
4th. It uses silk, cotton or linen thread from
the original spools; unlike most machines, il
will permit the seam to be turned Mt right an
giles at its highest speed; il has much more room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing to pass freely the heavi-
est garments, bedquilts, &C., and il will turn up
readily upon hinges attached to the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, as both tensions arc
regulated from above.
9Th. The Machine will do greater variety
of work than can be done by any other stitch.
IL will HEM, QUILT, GATHER, EMBROID-
Err and CORD, and will do neatly and rapid
ly every variety of sewing that can be done by
similarstitch upon the highest priced machine.
No machine will make and put upon garments
