SALMON IN THE POTOMAC. Thursday
last IS, 900 young Salmons were turned loose in
small branch of the Shenandoah, near Win
chester. These fish will soon be in the Poto-
mac, and in the, course of a few years the river
ing the fish Loose in the extreme head waters
are because there are 20 black bass in those
small tributaries to destroy them; and to 10
duce lhem to ascend the river as high as pos
sibe when they return from the sea in after
wears, it being characteristic of the salmon. as
we'll as the Shad, to return to its spawning
ground Another reason is, that the waters of
those tributaries are cool and clear, aud better
adapted to the growth OF the young fish. BY
the time they come down the river they will
have attained sufficient size to prevent their
destruction by the black bass, which abound IN
the Potomac. If the young fish were put IN
either the Potomac 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 pound, when
they descend the river and seek the deep wa
tiers Of the sea- 10 the course OF three or four
years they return, Ching about fifteen pounds,
and remain in the river about three months.
The Little Falls of the Potomac, nor any OF the
rapids, will offer any obstruction to the ascent
OF the salmon until it reaches the Great Falls,
and here suitable fsh-ladder will be erected
by the time the fish return. The California
salmon affords rare spor. to the angler, rising
to the fly at seasons readily, and 10 few years
our Potomac will afford the finest sport to the
angler of any river on the American continent,
being already bountifuliy supplied with black
bass, one Of the gamest and most delightful
fish Of the country, and with the addition Of
the salmon, equally game, rare sport may be
expected More salmon will be placed 10 the
tributaries of tue Potomac next year, as 1t is
the design of the Commissioner to stock this
river with about 100000. The James, Roam
oke, and other rivers 10 this locality will also
be supplied with this delightful fish. Last
spriog nearly Que million Of young shad, sue
ces,fulIy hatched out by artificial process, near
the Loug bridge, were turoed loose in The Po-
tomac and more will be added next season.
There is no doubt of the fact that III few
years the Potomac will be abundantly supplied
with shad by artificial Matching, experience
having proved 10 the Connecticut river that
the fish can be made so plentiful that single
haul will result in the capture of as large a
number as ever recorded in the earliest days OF
the fisheries

THE Ice CRop -.-Messrs Portuer, Holland
and Schiller availed themselves of the orportu-
nifty afforded by the late freeze to gather ice,
aud by employing as large forces as possible,
and by working all yesterday, succeeded 10 al
most filing their ice houses. The rain and the
rise in the thermometer last night rendered
the ice unfit for use this morning. The ice
dealers who allowed the late opportunity to
slip by without taking advantage Of it are
blaming themselves for their dilatorness.
