To those interested in the improve
ment of fish culture in the waters of
Puget Sound and its tributaries, espe-
cially such as favor the Introduction OF
spawn from the Columbia river, it might
be well to take into account, before
going to much expense, the effect OF
location and other environments that
affect ali forms of animal life. All ami
mails are more or less affected by their
surroundings. All the natural elements
combine to form the organisms, limit
their development and control thcil
growth. Probably the waters of the
Columbia and that part OF the ocean to
which the fish 60 after having lett their
eggs in fish water, causes the difference
in the flesh grain, its fatness, firmness,
&C.. as well as the superior size of the
fish and in all probability, it the Co
lumbia variety was introduced here in a
short time they would simulate to a
certain extent the varieties that naturally
inhabit these waters. The shad and
trout. recently introduced into the waters
of California, are assuming already dis"
tinct characteristics from the original
stock, which is becoming more marked
as the species develop. Possibly, if the
Columbia variety were introduced sue
cessfully here, they would mix with the
natural habitsnt of these waters, improv.
ing them somewhat, and deteriorating
themselves also, thus producing Il modi-
fed variety resembling both but it is
hardly probable that the new intreduc
tion would reach that state OF perfection
and size they arrive at in the Columbia
One thing can be done. We can prevent
the Wholesale destruction of those we
already have. by legislation to protect
them during the spawning season.

On our last trip across the Sound we
visited the garrison near Port Townsend.
This port lie now occupied. by some
twenty. seven men OF Company G, 2lst
U. s. Infantry, under comand of Capt.
Burton. While retired and secluded
and perhaps of little value as military
position, it is the neatest and prettiest
military post of its size perhaps in the
United States, at least the neatest ever
visited by us. Mr.. Ricbit, the first sergt.
Of the Company, very kindly showed us
over the whole grounds.
The Revenue Cutter, Oliver Wolcott
was lying at the wharf, undergoing a
thorough overhauling, Capt. Seldom, and
Leiutenants Mitchell and Cheater, as
well as Engineer Hassell did everything
in their power to make it pleasant, in
showing us over their vessel, and in ex-
planning the use of each part OF it. We
were surprised to see how neat and beau
titul as well as convenient were all of its
internal arrangements, and the pains
taken by officers and men in keeping
everything in trim.

quality, especially in the clothing depart

Oar Carriers New Years Address.

The Carrier-boy of The CLARION thus
held forth to our local readers on New Years
morning:
The great Centennial Year, with all it's pomp
aud glory,
Has passed into the realms Of Nations song
and story;
Brave deeds have been recounted, of old and
recent times
By orators and poets, in grand and graceful
lines;
From ev'ry nation, ev'ry cline, the people
hither came,
To learn that half had not been told of our
justly earned fame.
Had you the time, had the space the country
I'd review,
But this ''mortised" block suggests to me that
idea to eschew.
Whate er may be the special boast of the hun
dred years that's fed,
The happy thought to cheer us hence is, the
RAIDS are very dead :
Their thieving and corruption had gathered
such a storm,
That nothing could suppress it but TILDEN
and REFORM;
And Samuel J is just the man to thwart the
greedy hordes
W no would defeat the nations wish thro' cor
rupt Returning Boards;
That he'll be installed in office, no candid man
doubt,
And the PEG lie will rejoice when Grant steps
down and out"
Our own great stare is prospecting since STONE
assumed the reins,
And peace good will, takes the place of
Gatling guns and Ames.
Retrenchment is the watchword and Honest
Rule the leaven,
That ushers in the dawn of the New Year,
Seventy-Seven.
The CLARION sends its greetings to its read
ers far and near
With hearty wish that all may have abundant
JOY and cheer;
And to it's friends in Jackson this CARRIER
wants to say,
That he would be remembered on this happy
New Years Day.
If his speech has been too prosy, you can
give it spice,
By smiling on it's author, your faithful carrier
RICE.
