PEcIcULrrRE ~ BUELNGroN.-We are glad
to see that the interesting and important expert
ments in hsh-culture, which are at present at
tracing such general and intelligent attention in
this and other countries, have not been without
their influence in this vicinity.
\ day or two since, We ayailed ourselves Of an
opportunity to visit the Conservatives Of Mr.. A.
Taylor, in the southern part Of this City, in
which Messrs. L. A and A. A. Drew have COM
menced the experiment Of growing trout, for the
purpose Of stocking a series Of fsh-ponls which
they are preparing to build early the coming
spring.
The plan adopted by the Messrs. Drew, is
nearly the same as that introduced by jacob.
Coste, Green, Ainsworth, and other successful
fsh-grOwers. 1t consists Of a trough made Of
earthen ware about two feet and a half long. ten
inc Is wide and six inches deep. This is filed,
to the depth Of two or three inches, with fine
gravel. A pipe, which leads from spring on
the hill back Of the house, conveys pure water
to the trough, the supply being controlled by
stop-cock, while a spout at the top of the trough
carries of the surplus water
BY this simple arrangement, constant stream
Of fresh water Of the temperature Of about 40
degs., is kept flowing through the trough.
month since, Mr.. Luman Drew procured
from the cold spring trout-ponds Of Livingston
Stone, ESQ, of Charles,own, New Hampshire,
one thousand trout ova, which he deposited in
his hatching-;rough; spreading them over the
surface OF the gravel, taking care that no two
Of the eggs should be left in contact Since
then, the process of Matching has gone forward
Over one hundred embryo trouts have thus far
wrigglei out of the eggs, and now appear like
small cloves, as they lie scattered on the gravel.
On closer inspection, comparatively huge
yok sack, or " umbilicsl vesicle," is found to be
attached to the throat Of the fish. This sack is
gradually absorbed into the body, and until
it disappears the fish requires 70 food,
cut suhsists entirely on the contents
Of the sack. A new phase Of existence
here takes place, for the troutlets must now be
regularly and carefully fed, until the end Of tho

the ways of legislation very fast They are
already so far advanced that they can intro
duce bills for liberal appropriations Of the public
money. with as much facility as the Old mem
bers. Mr. kellogg, Senator from Louisiana,
wants Congress to endorse lot of shaky bonds
of that State, for repairing the levees Of the
Mississippi. Senator Abbott, Of North Carolina,
is still more modest in his demands upon the
Treasury. He introduced bill Tuesday which
is indeed a stupendous affair. It is no less than
a proposition to grant land and subsidies to
every Pacific railroad, with one or two excep-
tons, for which gap can be found in the

disclosing a capacity for business that promises
