This is ac- counted for in @ great measure by the high Winds mentioned above. As there is a great decrease of these fish on all the shores of the Potomac, I would agaiu urge the passage of @ law prohibiting the catching of herring after the Ist day of June of each year.” OTHER FISH. Of sturgeon, he says they have been very plentiful this’ year." Whenever there is @ scarcity of shad and herring sturgeon are very plentiful. rains. OYSTERS a@re next referred to, and he says:—“ Here, also, we have a large decrease in the receipts, of the river en up last winter, compelling the .

A large quantity of what is termed “smothered oysters’ have been received here, which were condemned when found. They are detected by asmal! black spot on ear the center of the oyster, caused by being transplanted too thickly. They present a firm appearance, and may be easily sold for good oysters. Another Kind unfit for food are what is known & “sour oysters,” which are also easily sold for good oysters. By opeuing them ard examining the liquor, which is thick and of the consistency of molasses, the meat puffs up and becomes whiie. This is caused by not having suffictent air while in the vessel and becoming heated. + Winter killed” oysters are easily detecte1, as the shell opens and the oyster drops out. Tuey are 80 called from the fact of being planted in shallow water, aud during the winter they the flat or top shell,» become chilled and dic. Tae great majority of the oysters condemied during the winter of Isi4-5 were of this kind, and they are gen- erally found during @ hard winter. He hat also coudemned oysters for another cause :— After they are loaded the fishermen wash or rivse them off by throwing water over then. This water becomes putrid after standing a short Lime, and tue oysters feeding oa it, it makes them sick, and they soon die. These are detected by an examination of the gills, which turn black. UNSOUND FISH. In examination of fish, he finds by expe- rience that the surest indications ‘of un- soundness is the sinkingof theeyes. Incases where the fish has beeu drowned, which is frequently the case in hauling a seine, or where they are kept in alive box, the eyes and body puff out and the color changes, andi these are easily detected. In some instances perch, rock and catfish turn green under- neath from feeding on grass, and people re- fuse to buy them on thisaccount. They are, however, wholesome, and just as gool as any fish of that species. Heated fish—those which are brought here by steamers and packed too thickly, and landing are stored in ice— commence to spoil as soon as they are exposed to the air. 8) By Would suppose that fish which are broken were unsound, bat such is not the case. Trout and taylors are of very soft nature, and when packed in ice they become eut and broken, but are stillin a bealuny condition and fit for food. OPENING OF THE OYSTER TRADE. The opening of the oyster trade this fall is more favorable than it has been any year since the war, the qualities are fine and dealers experience difficulty in supplying the demand for them. During the month of August —_ were landed at Alexandria, NV nd being in violation of the corpora- a., tion ordinances, which forbids the lauding of oysters in the shell prior to the 30tn of the month, they were brought to this market and sold at areduced price. Tae Inspector, therefore, again urges the passage of a law similar to that of Alexandria, as the female oysters are full of spawn and not fit for food al that time. [It may be incideutaily stated here that oyster catching in the Chesapeake and its tributaries gtves employment to 50,000 people.—ED.} THE POTUMAC ALIVE WITH YOUNG SHAD. He continues his report: “The Potomac river is now alive with young shad. Tue: &re about three inehes long, the fishermen are using them as bait for larger fish, they are canght by oucketafal, and by some used as table food. Thuis practice should be stopped by some protective law, as nearly, if not quite, as many are canght in this way 48 will spawn in our river.” The report then refers to the United States Commissioner of Fish aud Fisheries, Prof. Spencer F. Baird, having made surveys at the Great Falls of the Potomac with a view to planting a fish- way there and being now in communieation with General Babcock and Engineer Samo on the subject. He says such an establish- mept has decided as practicable, and before another year we may have this addi- uonal source » G poe ofsupply. Great credit is due . Baird for the zeal and en: he has displayed in stocking our river ‘wiih choice Osh—bis efforts so far having been crowne’ with success.
