Preparations for the spring fish

Chesapeake have been about com
pleted, and the coming week will
inaugurate the opening of the shad
and herring catch at the mouth of
the great Susquehanna. The floats
are all now in position, and the
shore fisheries are ready and there
are probably 600 to 700 men
employed.
A new fishery is to be established
by Mr.. Walter T. jackson, who
has been extensively engaged in
the fish business for number of
years at Havre de Grace. This
new fishery is at Frenchtown, be-
tween Port Deposit and Perryville,
and freshly caught fish will be
landed hourly at Mr.. Jackson's
float. This is about the nearest
point accessible to the farmers of
this vicinity to obtain their fish,

shad and herring freshly caught,
without delay, ought to commend
this point to them. Good free
stabling will be provided for horses
at the shore.
