The annual report of the Commissioners of
Fisheries gives an interesting account of the
progress of their work, in connection with
that of United States Commissioner Baird, in
introducing and disseminating valuable species
of fish into the streams and lakes of this State.
The experiment of Restocking our fresh wa
ters with salmon, shad and alewives, has so
far progressed, and the difficulties in the way
have been so far obviated by the construction
of fish-ways over dams and the removal of
other obstacles, that the Commissioners speak
with entire confidence of the complete sue
cess of this important movement to restore to
our lakes and streams their former abundance
of food fishes. In very short time now the
practical results of these efforts will be patent
to all, and if these shall come near the conf
dent expectation of those who have the best

One Of the most stupendous en-
tIpriscs ever attempted 10y auda
riuus man is the construction of the
Peruvian Railway, which will con-
meet the Pacific Ocean with the
valley Of the Amazon. This nine
teeuth century is full Of marvels III

mental works Of that description
than all the centuries which have
gone before it since the fall Of the
Roman empire. Bnt the Suez Canal,
Which cuts the narrow strip OF sand
that has ohstlucted the commerce
OF the world for ages, nor the Mont
Cents Tunnel through the Alps, has
presented such appalling obstacles
IL those which confronted the build
cTs OF railway at an elevation Of
1900 feet above the level Of the
sea. There is really no parallel to
this triumph of scientific faith, and
it is matter for a legitimate patriotic
pride that the men who have con
ceived and are now carrying out
the work should be our countrymen.
TO form some faint idea of the
mechanical and natural difficulties
which the construction of this trans
andine railway presents, 1t may
/ suffice to say that thirty bridges and
uaIucta, three thousand feet III
I length, and thirty-hye tunnels fifteen
thousand feet in length, were re-
quired in a single locality. To
i grade the road, as far as completed,
one hundred and forty million cubic

ABsCoNDED.-On Saturday evening,
saws the Steubenville Herald and .Ne,cs, Il
man giving his name as T. Dickson, from
Bethany, West Virginia, accompanied
BY his wife and small child, came to the
st. Charles Hotel in that city, and rep
resented that he had sold his farm, and
was on his way to the West, securing a
room at the hotel. In the evening Mr..
Harter notified him that where guests
had no baggage it was the custom to re-
cieve payment in advance. This he
promised to settle in the morning, but
when Sunday morning arrived, it was
discovered that he had adscOnded,
leaving his wife and child. His
wife was in great distress, and said
that her mother lived near Warren, on
the G. & p. road and that she would walk
down there, but Mr. Hartcr very kindly
told her he would keep her until Mon
day, and that arrangements could be
made by which she could go down on
the train. Yesterday morning she offer
ed to leave her satchel rs security for her
board but Mr.. Harter refused this, and
as she had lost her shawl, Mrs. Harter
very kindly gave her one to shelter her
self and little child from the cold. The
woman seemed to be very much of II
lady, and was much distressed at the ac-
ton of Mr.. Dickson.

Cur HIS THRoAr.-Yesterday morn

Cur HIS THRoAT.-Yesterdsy morn
ing an old German man named John
Koch, who lives on Chapline street, near
" opposite the German Methodist
Church, attempted to commit suicide by
cutting mis- throat with razor. The
following are the particulars: Koch is
shoemaker and has shop in the rear of
his house, but he has not been
working at his trade regularly during
the past few years. He went to his shop
yesterday morning, and remaining longer
than usual, his son-in-law, who lives with
him, went to see what detained him.
Upon trying the door he discovered that
il was locked, and he looked through the
window and was Mortified 10 see Mr..
Koch lying on the floor and covered with
blood. With the assistance of DIR.
Mccoy who happened to be in the neigh
borhood, an entrance was effected through
the window, and upon examination it
was found Koch had cut his throat in two
places, severing the outward jugular, the
instrument used being "a razor, which was
found lying beside him. The wounds
themselves were not sufficient to cause
death, but the loss Of blood had been so
great that it is doubtful if he RECEIVERS.
He had evidently cut himself sometime
before he was discovered.
Mr.. Koch is an old resident of Wheel
ing, and by hard labor and frugal habits
has managed to lay up quite snug little
fortune. No cause is assigned for his de-
sire to quit this "vale of tears" though
he has been suffering from poor health
the last few days, which may have caused
him to act so rashly.
p. S.-SiEce writing the above we
learn that Koch is subject to fits of tenn
porary insanity, and it is supposed he
was laboring under one of these attacks
Yesterday morning when be inflicted the
wounds upon himself Last evening he
was very low, and it was not probable he
would survive very long.
