Col. WEBER, one of the fish
commissioners, informs us that they
have been examining the waters of
the upper Merrimack and its tribu.
taries, and find salmon in consider
able numbers, large and small. AT
Bakers River several were found
abou5ADur inches in length, prOba-
bly, those put in by fish commission
er a. Ii. Powers last year. In the
.Pemigewassett, at Warren, they
were from six to seven inches in
length, and were doubtless those
put in a year and a half ago by
Gen. John Mcneil. Several large
fish were seen at Livermore Falls
by credible witnesses, and on Sun
day last quite a number were in the
still water below the AmOskeag
dam in this city, This seems to
settle the question of the practical
bility of the iishways beyond a per.

Death I'm the CITY Wells.

The relation Of typhoid fever to contami-
mated well water, which has been already
referred TO In this column, is being thor
oughly Investigated by the board OF health
Of Rochester, n. Y. Discovering last sum-
mer that some forty persons had contracted
typhoid fever and other kindred diseases
from a single well, the board requested the
physicians OF the city to report all cases Of
this fever to them. The numerous cases Of
which knowledge was thus gained were ex-
amined by the sanitary inspectors, and the
relation of the water which was used, TO cess
pools, sewers and privy vaults, was no.
ticed. Water from the suspected wells,
on examination by Professor baltimore,
of Rochester University, was found to
contain salt IN large quantit es, and
the Professor, i'm his report on the
subject, claims that the amount of this con-
stituent In well-water may be relied upon as
a test Of its purity. He argues that as nearly
all the salt used for domestic purposes es-
capes either through the water closet or the
house drain, sewage might be expected to
contain n large amount OF salt, and analysis
proves this to be the case As the sewage
works its way through a porous soil or
through erevices of the rock, IL carries the
salt with it, and the presence of more than a
few grains to the gallon in any well is a suf-
ficient evidence of the vitiatei character of
It's water. If his views be correct, a test
capable of the most exact determination has
been discovered, which, If properly turned to
account, will be of great usefulness in the
protection of communities agsins. the evils

Ex-Secretary Fish has promptly respo1ded
TO the request of Edward L. Pierce, of Massa-
chusetts, that he would name the treaties
which Senator Sumner had delayed TO report
tOthe Senate. Mr.. Fish gives, with spaclfi-
cations, the list OF no less than niue treaties
which had been transmitted to the Senate
for its action, and referred b. that boIy to
the com mittee on foreign relations while
Mr.. Gunner was its chairman. and which
RENAME 7 Enacted upon when he ceasef TO be
such Chairman. Summers appoint ment as
Chairman of the committee on foreign reIa-
tiOns expired on the ith of March, 1871. His
successor was appointed on or about March
10, ISL. IL ia observed by Mr.. Fish that one
of these nine treaties had been referred to the
committee nearly fifteen months before the
expiration of Summers service as its chair
man, and that eight of them were acted upon
and approved within three weeks after the
appointment OF his successor.
The fact is that Mr.. Sumner. while a schol-
arly ran and a hard worker in the line Of
some special questions or hobbies, had not a
good business head or any great capacity for
the ordinary run of committee work. He
knew as little, practically, about business
details as about art matters; though in the
latter particular he was fiattered by the pic
ture dealers into the belief that he was an
expert, and the result was that he acquired
