THE CATFISH TRADE. The Prince Freder-
lick calvert county, Journal says that the cat.
fish trade of the Patuxent river has become
quite an important business, and adds:
For several winters past this branch OF trade
has been growing, and preparations have been
made by Dr. Richard Stantorth, at Deep Land
ing, to go into the business on mucn larger
scale than ever before. He has just completed
pond, in which the fish are placed when
caught, and so kept alive to await shipment.
This pond has been made in a creek on the
Deep Landing farm, by using wire fencing
above and below, so that while the water pass
es freely with the tide the fish are kept till
called for This pond will hold from two to
three thousand bushels OF fish, which are taken
out when wanted by large dip nets. DIR. Stau-
forth buys all the catfish that are brought to
him alive and quite uumber Of seines on
both sides of the river will be run constantly
after cold weather sets in for the purpose of
supplying this demand. After the season fairly
opens it is expected that large quantities of
fish will be shipped to market every week;
quite large force Of hands, skilled in the bust
ness, will be employed 10 preparing the fish
for shipment. The fish are skinned and clean
ed, aud packed 10 boxes with ice, and shipped
on the Patuxeut steamers to Baltimore aud
thence through the canal to Philadelphia,

country.
