A NEW VARIETY OF FISH IN MARKET
This morning, the fish stands attracted much
attention by the appearance Of punches OF fish,
in all respects similar to the gold FISH in the
reservoirs at the Capitol. All well grown,
varying in length from to II inches. These
beautiful fish were caught by the seine haulers
in Little river, south OF Analostan Island.
Watermen think that the young fish came from
the reser voirs through the pipes into the Capt.
toll branch, thence into the canal andthe river,
and found a congeDial feeding ground in the
deep still water, where they were taken. A
few years ago these fish were SO scarce that
they were purchased at high prices, to be kept
what curious that they should become sudden
iy SO plentiful rs to be caught in nets and
offered i'll our markets TO supply the tables Of
our citizens.
