EITRAORDINARY RUN OF SALMON,--The recent fresh in the rivers Ayr and noon, after so long a drought, coupled with the earlier time for the removal of the stake nets, afforded scenes on Thursday which gladdened the hearts of all interested in the re.stoeking of these, of late years, almost bat ren rivers. Salmon were seen disporting themselves at the mouths of the rivers, making clear leaps out of the water; and in the river Ayr, it was estimated by the miller and his men, and by delighted disciples of Walton who watched the sigh', that at least 500 salmon leapt the dam-dyke at the Ayr mill on Thursday. Now that the upper heritors of the Ayr and Dome have got their rivers re-stocked, a grave responsibility rests with them, to meet and put on watchers to protect the fish in the spawning season: If this is not done, they may be, sure that, as in years past, parties who neither know nor care for the difference between clean and foul fish will spear and use them.—..4yr "MITI tiser.
