THE QUANT1co EXTENSION. railroad
extension to Quantico has now been open to
the passage of the day passenger trains for one
week 4 gentleman who passed over the new
line informs us that the condition of the road
bed is remarkably firm for a new road. The
track is smooth, the cars gliding along without
i jar, due not only to the new rail, but mainly
to the modern style Of coupling the rails to-
gether. The scenery along the new route is
also very pleasing. About four miles FROM
Brooke's Station, Aqua Greek is crossed by a
substantial draw bridge, from which an exten-
.ive view Of the Potomac may be had. From
this point the road RUS in full view of the
river. As We turn into the Quautico wharf
We have our first glimpse Of the Peuusy yanla
Central in plain but strong bridge over Quau-
tico and route graded on this side to a
junction with the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac track. We learn that through
ti;ket has been arranged with the Pennsylvania
C.ntral, and in about a month the all raj! line
to Washington will be in full operation. Fired

THE FISHING SEAsoN.-The Washington
Star says in relation to the Potomac Fisheries ;
The fishing season for shad and herring in the
Potomac river is almost over. The hauls at
the various seine landings have been unusually
large this year, but the fishermen do not re-
gard it as profitable season, because the
prices have been very low. The difficulty
seems to be that there are no facilities, for
speedy transportation Of fish to other mari ets
when glut exists in this market; MessrS.
Gibson and the Knight Brothers have made
some heavy hauls, and since they introduced
operations have been facilitated materially
Captain Gibson led off in this Improvement
last year at his landing at Strong, Point, and
was SO far successful that Mr.: VIM Knight
has adopted the same method of hauling at
Fair Landing, and with satisfactory, results
These two landings are considered the best on
the river, and the gentlemen who run thcm
arc experienced fishermen.
