The Cultivation of Carp.

Mr.. john s. Dallam, who has taken consider.
able interest in the cultivation of fish in this
county, has received the following letter, from
Major T. b. Ferguson, State Fish Commissioner:
"Dear Sir: The propagation of the imported
carp ut the breeding ponds in Druid Hill Park
has been so successful this season that hope TO
be able TO make very large distribution OF this
most valuable fish to those persons in the State
who desire to cultivate them, and have made
arrangements with the Adams and Baltimore
and Ohio Express Companies which will enable
me to supply the wants of the applicants much
more conveniently than heretofore. Last season
| issued to each applicant twenty of these fish,
but it was necessary for the parties desiring
them to send to the Matching house in Druid
Hill Park for their respective quotas. | am now
happy to announce that | can send the fish by
express through the co. operation of the conf
panies above mentioned to any of their stations.
This arrangement will save applicants much
trouble and expense. | would much prefer,
however, to issue fish at the ponds, and in order
to induce those wishing them TO come for them,
will issue lea, fish in addition to the usual num-
Der supplied to those who come for them, and
thus relieve us of the necessity of shipping.
=. "The number of fish to be sent to parties de-
string them will be fixed for the present at forty.
The cost of wagonng TO the station, express
charges and return of the cans to the Druid Hin
hatChing-housc will be 81, which amount will be
collected BY the express agent on the delivery OF
1ne 1iSn. Inc parlcS receiving inc llsl must DC
provided with vessel to which the fish can be
transferred on their delivery. The number of
transporting cans belonging to the commission
or is limited, and there is of course an urgent
necessity for their prompt return.
81 have received the most encouraging ac-
counts of the success which has attended the
cultivation of this fish by those who have hith-
erto been recipients of them, and it bids fair to
fill want which has been much felt in this
State This fish is so admirably adapted for do
nestle purposes that every one in the State who
has even small pond, such as is usually devoted
to the collection of ice, should prepare it for
rearing the carp. The carp, being largely q veg
etable feeder be raised at very little expense,
and can be utilized for the consumption of the
waste Of the kitchen and garden. | trust that
the arrangements which have made will enable
you and your neghbors to avail yourselves OF
the advantages presented by the introduction of
this fish into the United States by Prof. Baird.

WAITING FOR THE RETURNs.-The telegraph
office and other places in Bel Air were crowded,
on Tuesday night, with an anxious throng of
men and boys, waiting for election returns.
The districts Of our own county began to come
in about eight o'clock, and as nearly all of them
reported majorities for Hancock and for Web
stcr, ii was soon evident that although the coun-
ty had gone Democratic on the Presidential
question, it had also given a majority for Col.
Webster, the Republican candidate for Congress.
The first returns flashed over the wires from
abroad indicated Republican gains, and the
Democrats were accordingly somewhat disheart-
encd. Later on in the evening it was announc-
ed on what seemed to be reliable information,
that New York had gone Democratic. The
dropping spirits of the Democrats revived at
this, and the Republicans in turn became dole
full. The announcement that Talbot had car
red Carroll county by 300 and Baltimore county
by 200, did not add to their comfort. Many of
them left in disgust. About one O'Clock, how
ever, a dispatch was received saying that New
York had gone for Garfield and Chinese cheap
labor by $4,000 majority, and Indiana in the
same way by 1000. This was damper to DEM
ocrats, and took away the last hope of the cleo
ton of General Hancock.
