The Prince Frederick calvert Co., Md, }

nes-. sJd adds:
"For several winters past this branch OF trade
has been growing, and preparations have been
made by DIR. Richard Stanforth, at Deep Land
ing, to go into the business on . much larger
scale than ever before. He has Just completed
a pond, In which the fish are placed when
caught, and 30 kept alive to await shipment,
This pond has been made in creek on the Deep
Landing farm, by using wire fencing above and
below, 80 that the water passes freely with the
tide the fish are kept till called for. This pond
will hold from two to three Thousand bushels of
fisll, which are taken out when wanted by large
dip nets DIR. Stanforth buys all the catfish
that are brought to him alive, and quite mum.
Der Of seines oil both sides OF the river will be
constantly run after cold weather sets in for the
purpose Of supplying this demand. After the
season fairly opens it ia expected that large
Quantities Of tish will be shipped to market
every week quite large force OF hands, skill
ed in the business, will be kept employed in pre-
pairing the fish for shipment The fish are
skinned and cleaned, and packed In boxes with
ice, and shipped on the Patuxent steamers to
Baltimore and thence through the canal to Phil.
AdelphiA, which is the great catfish market OF
