FISH CULTURE.

The food problem what to eat, and
how to get its without doubt that
which earliest occupied the attention
Of our rude progenitors, as 1t is now the
most important to the great mass Of
mankind. From the remotest ages
when men, rudely clad 10 skin. Of low
er animals, captured the 6nny ocou-
pants of river and lake With bone hook ,
or coarse nets, or with spears through
holes cut IN tho ice with the Clipped
and polished stone hatchets which still
remain to toll Of their makers progrsss
in art, down to the present day per-
haps ish have furnished larger pro.
portion Of tue daily food of our species
than any other edible ahim |.
While the Walton like-have
made the takiog Of fish delicate and
fascinating sp' It, the myriad uncouth
fishermen Of every cline have made It
the great occupation Of life, and have
thus maintained one of tho greatest
supplies Of human nourishment. t.
the poorer 81 sses Of our large cities
the cheaper fish spurned by tie dsint-
Ter consumers Of fresh cod, salmon,
shad, and trout, constitute 20 mean
share Of their daily sustenauce, and the
streets ring the year. round with the
horn of the fish veoder.
As the earth's population Increases
and competition WAKES sharper the
supply Of food becomes more uncertain
and more expensive. How heartily
then can we welcome and applaud
whatever increases and ohespens
wholesome food! The efforts making
sloug the Atlantic coast to propagate aud
multiply valuable fishes like the sal.
mon, now scarce aud expensive, are
repIete with interest aud importance.
Fish culture is al art now arrived at .
high degree of perfection, aud folly
recognized % such By the several sea-
board states, IS we'll a. by tho United
States government. The New Eng.
land states have spared neither pains
DOR expense to secure large supplies Of
salmon eggs, getting them at first from
Canada, later breeding them at home,
besides obtaining Others from German
6.h breeding establish ueo's, and from
the Sacramento River, Gu, which
last, iohabiting a climate so vsrm, may
bo expected to thrive in Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Va, etc. The New England
streams teemed with this noble fish
years ago TO such On extent that, it Is
said, apprentices and workhouse pau
rers complained if they we're fed with
them more than three times a week
They we're nearly exterminated how
ever by dams interfering with their free
passage up stream, and by accumula.
lions Of sa~.dust buryiug their eggs,
etc. 10 future all dams will be requlr
cd to furnish 6sb.wav at some point,
and other measures will be taken to
perpetu.te this most v.lnsble family Of
food fishes. Ef,rts are also on foot to
supply tho waters ofthe interior With .
greater variety Of fish BY artificial
processes, which W. hope will amply
succeed. = -" u

THIEVES Our town Of late seems to
have acquired the possession of set Of
vagabouds who are making it q business
to plumber stores and residences during
the Slumbers Of the owners. About two
weeks ago n thief entered the private
room of Mr.. w II. Harvey in the
night and. strange to say, succeeded in
removing from the pockets of the sleeper
a gold watch and money without dis
turbiug his SIumbcrs. And later in the
night a man was seen making his way
stealthily along Third Avenue, barefoot
ed and a ladder across his shoulders.
When commanded 10 halt he threw
down the ladder which, no doubt, he
intended 10 use in reaching the window
Of some unsuSpecting family, and turned,
besitating whether to give battle or
take fight. The discharge of a revolver
however settled the latter course as thu
most expedient and he put distance
behind him with marvellous rapidity.
Sincesthen no traces of his identity have
been found.

that steam boat riding wasn't in their
line of amusements so, broke through
the army of deck hands for the nearest

heard of the Others was that they were
crossing the third county from the scene
of action at the river.
Among its river notes the Cincinnati
Commercial has the following item.
Trade on the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
road has been on the increase ever since
its opening. The heaviest shipments West
have been confined to tobacco. and those
East to grain. This week the packets Bos.
toms and Fleetwood have carried about
1000 sacks Of grain, intented for Peters
burg and Richmond. The exchange OF these
two products between Virginia and the
West promises to give large traffic to the
4 Ohio Railroad next season.

store was closed and doors locked that
night after the usual way, but the fol.
lowing morning It was found that the
back door had been opened through
the assistance of pair Of pincers opera
ting upon the key, which had been left
in the door. The thief directed his at
tentiou to the money drawer exclusive
of other valuable articles, not wishing
to cumber himself with goods that
might lead TO his detection, but as the
sales had been made upland deposited,
there was nothing left but q triAing
sum in smaller change. The money
drawer was left just out side the door.
A small box containing sundry articles
of jewelry left with Mr.. Woodcock,
who occupies one side Of the room, was
also taken, but nothing Of value from
the same window where were several
sets of silver ware, was touched.
Perchance disappointed and Disguised
with his exploits in the grocery bust
ness, he decided upon the probable
better picking at the post Office and en-
tered that place apparently without
difficulty. In the wilderness Of mail
bags and government vouchers &c,
he managed to get away with Uncle
Sans fractional to the amount of ten
dollars, but turned his nose up ata stray
twenty five dollar roll Of stamps which
were lying conveniently at hand. Ev-
identity he is very particular thief and
hard to please as he paid no heed to
a stock Of cigars and books and musi-
cal instruments in the same building
He seemed to care but little for any
thing that was not in the shape Of
money.
