Salmon in the Potomac.


| Some $4,000 young Salmons were turned
loose on the 10Th instant in small branch
| of the Shenandoah. near Winchester. This
/ fish will soon be in the Potomac, and in a
few years the river will abound with them.
This will be welcome news to our people.
! We copy from the Alexandra Gazette, which
says:
The reason for turning the fish loose in
the extreme head waters are because there
are no black bass in those small tributaries
to destroy them; and to induce them to
ascend the river as high as possible when
they return from the sea in after Years, it
being characteristic of the salmon, as we'll
as the shad, to return to its spawning
ground. Another reason is, that the wa
tiers of those tributaries are cool and clear.
and better adapted to the growth of the
young fish. BY the time they come down
the ri> er they will have attained a suffi-
cient size to prevent their destruction hv
black bass, which abound in the Potomac
If the young fish were put in either the Po-
tomac or Shenandoah directly, they would
soon be destroyed by the black bass which
inhabit those rivers, and are noted for their
ravenous appetites. The young salmon
will remain in the waters where first placed
until they attain the weight of about a
pound, when they descend the river and
seek the deep waters Of the sea. In the
course of three or four years they return,
weighing about fifteen pounds. and remain
in the river about three months. The Lit
