It has already proved a snccess and wil! doubtless be a per- Man Dt arrangement. oe Decline of the Potomac Fishertes The Inspec.or of Marine Products has transmitted bis annual report to the Board of Health. The report says: “Tne decrease of the shad ard berr fishery of the Poto ic duripg the past reason has been of a most slarmuing coaracter. Very few of the large seine fisberies have been continued terotghout the season, ‘something unprees dented In these waters. The gill neta and pound nets bave continued as usual, though | Witb very meagre resv ts for their labor and Investment. The cause of the decrease is Without«oubt tbe great amount of fishing done Within afew years the gill nets es Fecially have multiplied many times. It is Rot relative to this report to attempt to show the influence of the different kinds of nets in bringing sbout this state of affairs. Very little of the water ecmirg through the Peto mac reaches tbe Chesapeake without pass jog through meshes of bumerous nets, and it is fearcely possible for fish to ascend iiver without capture, especially as there is bo gencral Interim, rrost of the nets being tu Active use at all how the day and n'got.

The most evisent cause, bowever, seems to lie in the great overfishing of the waters of the river. Very many laws bave been proposed for tha pur pose of remedying the evil, by legislative action in general, each line of fishing or dif- ferent net interest advocating laws which Bear upon the cpposing interests. The state of Maryland proposed a law during the early spring, which, if it could be carried out and epforced, would baye largely solved the problem: The report quotes from “Martin's Gazet leer of Virginia and the District of Ootum bia,” published in 1835, that “in a short sea son 0 shed abd 779,000.000 herring were taken In this river.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ASSESSORS, The annual report of the board of asses- sors, showing the transactions of that office last, bas been prepared. It states that at the outset the board encountered formidable difficulties.

On the whole, bewever, ‘they have pot been entirely unsuccessful in the dis- obarge of their duties.

Of this number 6,468 (2,298 bein; blank) have been returned representing in value for Washington $10,936,250; George- town, $1,368,268; county, £384,089. Total @MOUNL, $12,688,598. REAL PROPERTY.

This ts Indispensibly neces sary from the fact that in mapy cares the | descriptionsof property heretofore given are defective and incomprehensible. The map of Georgetown is incorrect and needs attenu- len. A plat book for the county is needed, showing tbe various divisions and subdi visionsOf farms and tracts icto lots, their location, &c. 1t is also recommended that the office of | Wm. T. Watker, Dr. Riley was | ssessor be placed on the same footing as | the other heads of the various departments rointment for @ term of service parallel with them. The advantages of a permanent #3+tem are fully set forth. Within the past five years the population anc real estate value of the District have Jargely increased; as @ consequence, the or- dinary duties of the office require longer time and greater skill and judgment. In ad- | dition, the assessment of personai property, with its large amounts and delicate ais- criminations. greatly prolong the time of | Decessary service, and call for mature views gained only by experience.
