CooKINo WITHOUT FIRE.-There is
place in Oregon called the Smoky Valley
where the people have very curious
way OF cooking. They do not have the
trouble OF making FIRE every morning
when they wish to get breakfSs'. They
Jus, walk ou, with their kettles, cofre
pots, and whatever else they need, and
cook at the boiling spring. The water
seems a great deal hotter than common
boiling water. and all they need TO do is
10 hang their kettles in il short time and
their food is nicely cooked. They are
able even 10 bake in it. The bread is put
into a tigh, saucepan, and lowered into
the boil ng food Tor an hour or two, and
then drawn up mos. exqui'iiely baked,
with but thin rim Of crust over it. Meat
is cooked here, and beans, which are the
miners great luxury. II takes but min
ute TO cook eggs, or 10 make pot Of cof-
fee or tea; but If there should chance TO
be "slip between the cup and the lip"
the food would be gone beyond recovery.

GAME FISH IN THE PoToMAc.-The
following is an extract from letter writ
ten by W W. Shriver, Esq. OF Cumber-
land, in 1860, and just published in the
New York Turf, Field and Farm:
The experiment Of trsnsplanting the
game fish Of the Ohio river TO the head
waters Of the Potomac river at the town
Of Cumberland, Allegany county, Nd,
was contemplated by me before The COM
pleiiou OF the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road to Wheeling, but no satisfactory
mode suggested itself until the completion
OF tha, work in 1853. In the following
year | made my frs, trip. but made sew.
eral afterwards in The same year, convey
ing the fish in perforated bucket made

motive, which being supplied with fresh
water at the several stations kept the fish
alive. fresh and sound; they were young,
small and carefully selected. On the ar
rival al Cumberland they were put into
the basin of the Chesapeake and Ohio ca
nal, from which they had egress and IN
gress to the Potomac river and lie irlhu-
taries above and below the dam al Cum
berland. | am pleased TO learn from
yourself and others that this, my frs, Pis-
calorial experiment, the object OF which
was 10 supply the waters OF the Potomac
with some OF the varieties Of game fish
equal in size and quality to any that ever
inhabited the fresh waters Of any country,
has been crowned with complete success,
and feel that | have been fully compen-
sated for all the time, trouble and expense

varieties Of fish lransplanied:-Green bass
varying in size from lib. 10 5lbs; perch
varying in size from lib. 10 l5lbs; salmon
yarying in size from lib. to l3lbsi Jack
salmon varying in size from lib to 3Ibs;
blue cat varying in size from lib. 10 20

known 10 exist in any OF the streams east
Of the Allegheny Mountains from the falls
Of Niagara, north, 10 the Gulf OF Mexico,
south, while they exist in every stream
west of the Allcghanies and in every lake
and stream south and west Of the Falls OF
Niagara and as far south as the Gulf OF
Mexico. These fish, like almost all
fresh water fish, ascend The streams with
the first rise in the Spring, say April or
May, Tor the purpose Of spawning and
remain up all Spring and Summer, and
descend with the first rise OF water in the
Fall. say October or November, for tie
