The POTOMAC FISHERIES. The run of shad
in the Potomac this season has been very light,
owing partly to the backHardncss Of the sea-
son and the freshcts, bat in greater measure
to the destructive methods Of fishing with long
seines, giil-nets, &c, which are killing eff the
fish. La the olden times thousands Of shad
were caught at single haul Of the short seines;
more than are now caught in weeks fishing
with the long, seines. It has been said that
fishermen make as much money at the high
prices now as they did then, with moro fish and
low prices That is not SO. Fortunes were
made in those days at the fisheries, but now al
most as much money is sunk in fishery in
one season as can be lost 10 the same time in
establishing Q newspaper. The fishing grows
worse each year, and will continue to do so I'M
til the fishermen cease to catch al the shad
entering the river, and allow q portionto reach
the upper waters Of the Potomac to spawn, Or
until they take measures to breed them arti-
fcially- Washington STAR ...

advertises for contractors to break up four
thousand acres prairie land for three dollars an

This is farming on scale hardly appreciated in
