The association formed in California
for the purpose of introducing Eastern
fish into the waters of that State has re-
oeived first installment of 10000 young
shad, hatched in the Hudson River just
week before, and brought in large tin
cans filed to the shoulder with fresh
water. They proved TO be in excellent
condition on their arrival on the Saora-
mento, and were taken thence higher up
the river to Tehams, where it was pro.
posed to plant them. The expenses OF
this enterprise are borne from an appro-
priation on the part of the State OF $5,-
900 for this special purpose.

over the position of his head. Horses
used for heavy work, as drawing wagons
or carts in cities, and plows and harrows
on farms, very rarely, if ever, are found
hampered with tight cheok-rein. And
it is in the case of these horses that the
greatest complaints are made. Conse-
quently these complaints are to some ex-
tent ill-founded. The fact is, the check
rein, under some circumstances, is as
necessary to the control of the horse as
the bit and bride, and the rest of the
harness. 1t is only when a hard-worked,
heavy-lsien brute is too tightly reined
up that it becomes a hindrance to his
power of working; and the owner OF
such an animal, If he knows any thing
at all, would not permit him to be SO
Inconvenience by it as to impair his
usefulness.
