curious sight. showing how numerous
and greedy are the enemies which prey
upon the spawn of the shad and other
marketable fish. No sooner is tin can
containing shad eggs lowered into the
water alongside the boat than the whole
surrounding water becomes alive with
perch, catfish, eels and other fish who
dart at the can and about it, attracted
probably by the odor of the eggs.
GOOD RESULTS ATTAINED.
So evident to the shad fishermen at
this point has been the good result of
the Matching operations which have been
carried on here for three years or more,
that this year some of the gilers declined
to receive pay for the ripe fish furnished
the Commission by them, saying that
they saw very clearly that they were
sufficiently benefited by the increase of
fish. In 1854 one hundred black bass
were brought from the Ohio River in the
tank of Il locomotive engine and cast
into the Potomac, where the black bass
was then unknown. Now this fish is SO
abundant that thousands of pounds are
caught every year. There is no doubt
that the operations of the United States
Fish Commission will in few years rev.
olutionize the fish business on our coasts
and rivers. The Commission has now
Matched out in large quantities shad,
California salmon, land-locked salmon,
Maine salmon, salmon trout, Goldfish,
whitefsh, smelts, halibut, and is engaged
in the Matching of carp, which are being
brought from Hungary. The Maryland
Fish Commission, for whose support the
State of Maryland appropriates $4,000,
co-operates at this and other points with
the United States Fish Commission, but
Mr.. Ferguson, the Maryland Fish Com
missioner, has established a Matching
house in Druid Hill Park at Baltimore,
where trout and salmon are hatched out
in large quantities.

a DINNER SUPPLIED by AN EAGLE. =
a vcracious gentleman residing near
Centreville, Md, says that as his son and
himself were standing near his house,
they deserted three dark objects about the
size of small birds far up in the air, cir
cling and darting hither and thithcr.
we watched closely, and after awhile,
they approached moro nearly the earth.
We then discovered that they were two
ducks and bald eagle the eagle en-
deavoring to capture Tho ducks, and the
ducks exerting themselves to elude their
pursuer. Far away in the distance we
could discern the main Gocs, from which
the two ducks had been separated, flying
steadily to the cover of the forest. The
eagle would pounce first upon one and
then relinquish it. in order to capture
tie otter Dropping that, he would re-
turn to his first capture, seemingly like
the dog in the fable, greedy to secure
both. This was kept up for some time,
when the eagle, suddenly darting for
ward, struck one of the birds with his
talons, then swooping upon the other
struck that too. The first bird fell at
our feet we had hardly time to pick it
up when the other fell, with the
eagle following. We picked up the Sec
ond one, and the eagle observing our
presence flew screaming away. On ex-
animation it was found that the eagle
had struck the ducks on the head, nearly
sevoring the heads from their bodies.
They were fine-sized canvas backs, and
We had them cooked for dinner.

 deal by the new settlers in these valleys along the Gila and Sali- mas, and trouble will certainly en- sue during the first dry season. Provision ought to be made against such contingency. l am one of those who do not believe there are many good Indians alive. But here, indeed, are about, sOOO Indians-1O,OCO Pimas and .2,O6c Maricopas-who boast that they have never killed a white man, except in a quarrel, or in some such way, and who are known to have been friendly when all other tribes (except the Papagos, near Tucson, ) were hos tile and murderous throughout the Territory. It was only few years ago when a pilgrim, jour- neying through Arizona, could take but one good long breath, and that was while upon the lands inhabited by these friendly Pirnas and Maricopas. Care should be taken, therefore, that neither whites or Indians trespass upon each others waters or lands.

had for many years before 186'
 irrigated these lands and raised
 wheat, which was hauled to the
 Gila,. nearly twenty miles away,
 and ground into flour by a mar
 narrn,ed White, who had a place
 on the Tucson road, about hal
 way between Maricopa Wells and
 sacaton. This mill and casa are
 now in ruins. I drove from
 Whites place with Gov. R. c.
 Mccormick, twelve years ago, tC
 Wicken burg, taking in part oi
 this same valley, crossing the Salt
 river at of near where Phoenix
 now stands; and never saw a
 white man for sixty miles. Now Phoenix contains at least 800 in-
 habitants, while the whole valley, inc cluding the Tempe, has popu- lation of 2,5OO.
 Phoenix, the County seat of Maricopa County, and the trading place of the country above descri-
 bed, is situated near the river, and contains pretty closely upon one thousand inhabitants, h alf of whom are engaged in the pur- suits generally followed by towns people. It does not seem like . town only ten years old, with it's wide streets and large overhang- ing trees. Its name was suggest ed on account of it's erection at or near the site of some former com munity, which probably flourish ed in the days of the Aztecs. Surrounding the town upon all sides are orchards of all kinds of fruits, vineyards, grain, grass and alfalfa fields. All kinds of fruits, vegetables end cereals are raised and have ready market. Wheat does exceedingly well, and keeps three mills constantly running. However much the Territory may grow, this valley will raise enough corn, wheat, bailey, hay, vegeta- bles and fruit to supply all de- mands.. The houses at Phoenix and throughout the valley are all, or nearly all, built of adobe. There is an abundance of stone near by. Fuel is abundant-the mountains are full of cedar, pine and Kindred woods; the rivers are all fringed with willow and cot tonwood, willie the bottonis abound in mesduite. Phoenix is desirably situated as an agricultu- ral feeder. It is about foo miles from Prescott in a direct way, 50 from Wickenburg, 32 from Mari copa. 60 from Florence, 200 from Yuma, and 13O from Tucson. All of these distances, except that be- tween Prescott and Phoenix, are actual ones.
 It will be seen by the above that Phoenix will have good portion of the Territory as a market, par ticularly for its fruit and grain. Near Phoenix is Touring mill in perfect runhing operation, owned by Major Vail, formerly of the First Cavalry. When I Was at Tucson, twelve years ago, Vail was bachelor lieutenant, fight ing Indians; now he is a miller, with a white hat; he is married, and has one of the most beautiful places in the Territory. His resi- dence is opposite his mill, and is, in fact a perfect mansion,' with great broad halls, roomy piazzas, shaded by stately-looking orna- mental trees, and a garden and orchard adjoining of many acres, with ditches of sparkling water coursing through them in all directions.
 A few miles from Phoenix is @ Mormon settlement, and the in- habitants thereof are carrying out an excellent system of Agricul- ture. They have a very superior body of land under cultivation,

den's Ferry. Here is farm owned by my old friend Hayden
 that would make the eye df any
 California farmer water. There
 is. no prettier place anywhere.
 The farm is situated on a bluff, at
 least forty feet above the crossing
 ing of the liver. Then there is a
 level tract of land, as far as the
 eye can reach in all directions,
 divided up into grain, corn and
 alfalfa fields, with great swelling
 water ditches upon all sides. Tn e
 dwelling is sort of manor house,
 with accommodations for any and
 all i friends of the hospitall, pproprie-
 tor who may happen along; with
 the latch-string always upon the
 outside; with yard of great di-
 mensions; dotted here and there
 with pyramids of corn, pumpkins,
 flour, and other evidences of good
 cheer. Added to all this is a
 big wholesale and retail store ad- joining, and a houritg mill in constant operation a few feet away. The whole place reminds one of the real hacIenda as they exist in Mexico and the Spanish countries.
 The climate of Phoenix and Salt River Valley is very equable the year round. The days are never cold, and the nights are cool and agreeable nine months in the year. During the Summer months the days are very warm. There are two rainy seasons- July and August, and from De cember to March. Two crops of beans, potatoes and corn can be raised. l inquired carefully re- garding the healthfulness of this country, and my information was all to the effect that, with the ex- ception of a little fever and ague tor chills and fever, as it is called) the entire valley was 3 healthful one. The soil (humus) is very rich, and is similar to the sandy loam and adobe deposits that are found in the better portions of Southern California. Mark my ptediction: In five years this valley will contain 12,CCc, and Phoenix will have become the 1 permanent capital of the Terri tory.
 Leaving tEe Salt River Valley, I will take the reader to Round Valley, which lies about six or eight miles from Florence, and is, or soon wifi be, watered by the Gila River. This valley contains two thousand acres of choice lands, which will be placed under the coming year, or as soon as the Brash canal, now n process of construction, is com- pleted. The canal is about two miles in length, along the rough banks of the river, and in places through hard rock. This ditch is twelve feet on the bottom and will carry a large volume of water. The head dam is solid mason work, built upon rock that will resist any quantity of water. AS soon as this is completed and minor ditches made, the two thousand acres will be planted in wheat, and a Touring mill erected.
 Besides the above-na med val ,eys there are at least a hrn6red little farms, or ranches, as they are called, along the banks of and between the Gila and Salinas rivers. The Pima and Maricopa Indians, who have a fine body of lands fronting on the Tucson road from about Maricopa Wells to within a short distance of Florence, also own good many ( irrigating ditches, and produce a fine quality of wheat. They also raise beans, corn, sorghum, pump ZinS and melons. They get a bet
