Discoverx Of Q Valuable Fish.

Several Connecticut men have taken much interest in the new kind of fish spoken of in the following from the Boston Journal: 'tIn 1879 Gloucester fishing vessel took few fish which were so remarkable that specimens were sent to an agent of the Fish Commis- sion, who sent them to Washington, where they were found to constitute an entirely new genus and species of an admirable food fish. Last September the vessel of the commission was sent to the locality where the fish were taken, about seventy-f five miles south of New port and in the western edge of the Gulf Stream. On putting down a trawl net not only was large number of the new fish se- cured in brief period, but it,was ascertained that tbare was an abundance of food for these fish. Fishing lines were then brought into acquisition and the same fish were caught in abundance. The fish were traced for sixty miles and were found in great abundance as codfish on their banks and were taken with even greater facility. The fish is declared to be as valuable as the cod and is called the tile fish. The commission will make further in yestipations --.---' .@
