4EorT.-We stopped half b our
the other day at Mr.. Palmer's trout
pond, near Boscobel, and gratified
our curiosity to SEQ how the little
speckled beauties are managed. We
were shown the different modes of
collecting the ova, and the improved
methoda OF Matching them, and of
caring for the young broods, the feed
ing, rearing, &c. Mr.. Palmer has
given much attention to the culture
of fish for a number Of years aud it il
gratifying to note that he is making
success Of the enterprise. Fish cul-
ture is an industry but slightly devel-
Oped, and if properly studied, it must
be as profitable as many occupations.
A fish carries from ten thousand to q
million of eggs in its ovsries each
Of these is as full Of vitality and rs
capable Of being made productive as
grain Of wheat.

HOW HE WHIPPED HIM.

A young John Phoenix tells how it was
as follows: ''I'll tell you how it was.
You see, Bill and me went down to the
wharf to fish; and l felt in my pocket
and found my knife, and it was gone, and
1 said, Bill, you stole my knife;' and he
said l was another, and l said go there
yourself and he said it was no such
thing and / said he was liar, and
could whip him, if was bigger'n him;
and he said he would rock me to sleep,
mother, and / said he was a bigger
one; and he said l never had the
measles, and l said for him to fork
over that knife, or I'd fix him for q tomb
stone at Laurel Hill; andhe said my grand
mother was no gentleman; and l said he
darsn't take it up, but he did, you bet;
then got up again, and said he was too
much afraid to do it again, and he trie
to but he didn't; and l grabbed him and
threw him down on the top of me like
several bricks; and tell you it beat all
and so did he; and my little cog got up
behind Bill and bit him; and Bill kicked
at the dog, and the dog ran, and ran
after the dog to fetch him back; and !
didn't catch him till got clear home; and
I'll whip him more yet. Is my eye

CUSTOM HOUSE SWEARING-THE
TRADE VALUE OF FRENCH.

One of the shrewdest men in Wall
street was recently waited on by custom
house broker, who asked him to make
an oath to the value of an importation
made to the order of his banking house.
The invoice was in French. 81 havn't
imported anything" said the banker.
"YOur house has, though, said the bank
or, "and somebody has got to swear to its
value" "What is it Let's see your
document Id6ledU en- huiLe;; that
must be Gallo. Let's see ; hltiIe means
oil, doesn't it2 and to6Ledu must be
table, and the whole put together must be
table oil. A case of it is worth-how
much a hundred dollars? Well, here
goes for a custom house oath, to the
amount of hundred dollars ;" and he
| swore.
Some days after, the broker entered the
bank in sweat. He rushed up to the
banker, and said to him, nervously: ''Mr.
| c., there is trouble down at the custom
house about your oath. Your valuation
is declared by the appraisers to be fraudu-
| lent. The table oil is said to be worth
| So, 900, and you swore that it was only
worth 500 There's HI to pay. Come
down right off,
The banker went was confronted will
his affidavit, and the evidence that the i'm
portation was a valuable painting, actually
worth $4,000, which gentleman travel
ing in Europe had purchased and had sent
home to the care of the banking house.
"Td6leat en- hitile means oil painting,
does it2" said c. Well, would have
sworn it meant table oil-and, indeed,
| did swear to it. But it is not necessary
for me to say that don't know ten word;

COnvicts Conquered with but One
Casualty.
WHEELING, w. Va, April 2l.-Forty or
fifty convicts confined in the penitentiary
at Moundsville entered into conspiracy to
escape, and on Tuesday evening last over
powered two of the guards, taking the key
of the cell, and after stripping the guards
attired two of their number in their clothes,
who were put on guard to disarm suspicion.
In this manner the relief was deceived
and captured, and the plot seemed to be
working to their entire satisfaction, when
at $50 P. NJ, the guard who should have
reported at the gate failed to appear. Sus-
picions were aroused, and the guard and
citizens being alarmed, collected at the
gate and were marched to the hall where
the insurgents were, and on refusing to
cease their resistance, they were fired on,
and q convict named Charles Moore was
seriously wounded. The remainder sur
rendered at discretion
