Report of the United States Fish Commission. miuiuni ineunitea atates risn oniniis sion, at the conclusion of their sum mers work, have returned to Wasl ington, and are now engaged 111 drawing rip their annual report. The followinp; facts are a summary of their year's labors: The place selected for their head quarters the present vear, was the pleasant little fishing village of Noank, in Connecticut. Situated at the end of Long Island Sound, and looking out on the Atlantic Ocean, ininwav between New London and Stonington, with a population prin cipauy engaged 111 n.suiug, it was well suited to the purposes of the Commission. To aid them in their labors the Secretary of the Navy sent the small 6tea"raer The Blue Light, Capt. Beardslee, of Washing. ton Navy-Yard in command with a picked crew of eight or nine men The chief work of the steamer was to carry the party to the scene of their dailv labors, and to do the heavv work of dredging and trawl By this aid of steam, the amount of work done in the season was at least quadrupled. Including the scientific gentlemen, their fami lies, their assistants, the crew of the .blue Light, and the numerous scien tisls who were often visiting them. about seventy persons were constant ly assembled at Noank, studying tisues, their food, their habits and their habitats. While investigating the question concerning the tood nshes ot the At lantic, great attention has been paid to llie food fishes of the lakes and rivers, lender the direction or Jrror. Build, Mr. Livingston Stone has been employed on the Macleod Riv er, a branch of the Sacramento, ob taining salmon eggs, of which he has secured some 0,000,000. The salmon of the Macleod are very vig orous fish, growing rapidly and lar ger than our Eastern salmon, weigh ing 20 and 30, and occasionally 50, pounds. This species is especially adapted to the wanner waters of the country, and the eggs thus obtained have been distributed in the head waters of the Susquehanna, Potomac, James, Delaware, and even the Mis issippi. They come forward much earlier than those from' the colder waters of New England and Cana da, the ova being obtained in Au gust and September, and the young fishes, fully hatched, intrusted to their future homes in November and December. Of the 6,008,003 eggs obtained bv Mr. Stone, 1,000,000 were restored to their native river, that the source of supply might not be dried up; the other 5,000,000 were distributed in the Middle and Western States; 750,000 were sent to Michigan, and 150,000 to Utah. Half a million were placed in the hatching-house of Mr. Alexander Kent, of Baltimore,to be distributed over Maryland and V lrginia, and another large amount to a similar institution at Bloonis- burg, N. J. Besides these salmon gathered from Oregon and scattered in the warmer waters of the country, Mr. Charles G. Adkins, of Bucksport, Me., on the Penobscot, has obtained 2,500,000 eggs from that river. These fishes, adapted to the streams of New England and Northern New York, are slower in coming to matu rity than the Western fish. They are secured in' October and November, and placed in the water in. the fol lowing February and March. From Maine and Oregon, therefore, 7,500 salmon eggs have been this year gathered and distributed in all the rivers of the land that run to the ocean. But in addition to this, Prof. Baird has succeeded in obtaining eggs of the land-locked salmon of Lake Seber, in Maine. This species ot salmon, though now fresh-water, is supposed to have run up thither from the ocean, but never to have returned. They are a small fish weighing from 3 to 8 pounds, but very fine eating; 150,000 of these eggs have been secured and distrib uted among the rivers of New Eng land and ' Michigan that run into lakes. The two principal sources of snp ply of shad ova are at Castleton, N. Y., on the Hudson, and Holyoke, Mass., on the Connecticut; and at these two places some 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 eggs have been secured. Salmon eggs are sent across the con tinent imbedded in moss; but shad are so lively, being hatched in five or six days after they are impregnated, that they can only be distributed as living fishes. Large cans, therefore, are made, holding ten or twelve gal lons of water each, and in cacli can are deposited 5,000 or 10,000 ot the little fishes. These 5,000,000 or 6, 000,000 shad have been distributed over New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and as far West as Iowa. The Southern States have also received their quota 50, 000 having been for the first time deposited in two streams in Texas; so that in three years from this time it requires three years to bring the shad to full maturity the shad will be our national fish, and will be caught in every stream in tbe Union. Some of these shad eggs have been deposited in the tributaries of the Mississippi and of thereat lakes. But the latter is "i experiment, . the shad hitherto lav ing always found his way to s"'1 water. But small shell-fish, of the same species as the shad freil" P011 in the bottom of theoi. having been found in the depths of the great lakes, it has K-en determined to try the experiment of both shad and salmon for lakes. But it is no experiment to stock rivers running to the sea with food fishes I" 1807 the ova of shad was first carriol to the former hatching place'"' tl,e headwaters of the Con-e'i-ticiit. During the three years required for their growth, the Con necticut was so empty of ii.ih that the fisheries of the lower part of the riv er were wholly abandoned. But in 1870 large schools began to pass up the river, and they have continued to grow in numbers and in weight till this year, when in the height of the season shad were sold on the spot where they were caught at f 3 per 100. Streams in Southern Mass achusetts have been restocked with ale-wives, so that 100 tons of fish food are now taken from streams that six years ago were without a fish; and the supply of this fish in the streams has restocked the mouths of the rivers and the shores with larger and more nutritions fish, at tracted thither by the plenteousness of thjeir favorite bait. It is an interesting fact, develop ed by these investigations, that the fish when too young to take care of itself, is best cared for by man, but that when instinct is once fully de veloped, nature is better than man. The impregnation of the egg is much better secured by artificial means than when left to the fishes them selves; but when hatched, nature takes better care than man. A few years ago the young fish were care- i u n v cooped up, rattened, and in trusted to himself only when fully started in life. The consequence was that when once left free in his na tive waters he became the prey of his numerous enemies, against whom he had no instinctive resources. But when the young of any fish, first loosened from the yokebag, finds it self alone in its native waters, it at once sinks to the bottom, where its color renders it undistinguishable from the sand by which it is sur rounded. . As it grows up, it learns self-preservation by flight, so that the proportion of survivers is found to be larger under the let alone prin ciple than under man's most careful tuition.

It is so seldom that this much abused individual has an opportunity to speak for himself, that he may per haps be forgiven if for once he be comes garrulous, aud even a" little spiteful. Any one who is acquaint ed with newspaper work under stand the peculiar and not over- comfortable position occupied by the proof reader, but for the ben efit of the uniniated the situation is briefly reviewed. To describe it geometrically, a square may be im agined in the centre of which stands the proof-reader; at each corner are his natural enemies, the writers, the printers, the great reading public, and last and worst of all himself. A cross-fire is usuallv considered a bad thing to get into; but when the cross is doubled, so to speak, it be comes more than human nature can well bear. TLe writers agonize if a word or comma of their precious manuscript be altered; the composi tors also row if "copy" is changed; the great public wonder how the stupid wretch of a proof-reader got things so mixed: and his own con science troubles him because he has not been more relentless, even at the risk of the first two classes of critics. He stands alone, in the cen tre of never ceasing fire. Truly it needs a marty's courage, or a stoic's indifference, to maintain a calm front. But then, if he is thus as sailed, he has also jnst grounds of complaint against at least two or ders of foes. The writers perse verely say what they evidently don't mean in a language that might as well be Syriac, or do their worst in covering errors of sense and of grammar under illegible chirography. And the printers are not much bet ter, lime is money to them, it to any ; and the first interpretation to- the ottentimes cabalistic hieroglyph ics they are called upon to '.'set is accepted and acted on, regardless of the' frenzy of the horror-stricken: author, or the bewilderment of the long-suffering reader. But as the contributors are gener ally the least merciful. Our proof reader proceeds to accuse them. first. The most direct mode of con viction is to give a few instances of the manner in which they perplex: and overwhelm both printer and proof-reader by carelessness in con struction of sentences, etc., which have required only a moment's time, perhaps, to put upon paper; bu; which call for careful study or lucky guess work, occupying much time, before they became intelligible to the reader. Such slips are most frequently owing mere to the want of care, but sometimes, are not due to a perverse contempt for the sim plest rules of speech. To begin at home: An attache of this office, whose manuscript unfortunately came to our proof-reader's notice, in a Bingle article, was guilty of the following: "Hats are manufactured in a dozen establishments, not more than three, however, being of any size Two powder factories, or rather, we should sav, explosive factories." Pretty rough on the hats and the powder factories, that. It -:s hardly necessary to specify wticn particular section of theould coun thry this editor hails from. Another gentlemen vno wrues for the Press is sometnes a little careless about his spelling. -inis dou't matter much !d ordinary cases but when it cons to "stageerer. for stao-gerer. and almost UiegiDie t tl,nt it becomes a matter for five minutes'rrayerful cousiderationt not always rewarded by success. In this connection, it must be remem bered that Andrew Jackson was ac- used ot baa spelling, oui, ooun J.nidoloh. defended him by declar ing "that a man must be a fool who could not spell words more ways than one." Iu the JPress office all the editors would not be absolutely certain of carrying off prizes for penmanship; but so long as there is English at the bottom of the obscure bothooks and hangers, there is always a fair chance of getting at it, and nobody complains. Occasionally, however, there is a muss; as when, for instance, a cor respondent in writing of the wonder ful restoration of Chicago, since the fire, grows classical and speaks of "ATejitune rising from the ashes;" or when a reporting committee-man deliberately says: "Visiting mem bers were invited ti l"ko 8eats " the floor." . , On the whole, it isn t a bad idea, after all, to write moderately plain ly. This conclusion is reached on reading a sentence of one of our Grange frieuds, which should have read:"" We are not taking the ragtags is a and bobtails of creation luto our Order," and which was so penned that the compositor was really jus tified in calling a t a to , and send ing in a proof sheet with : We are now takinz the raar-tags and bob tails of creation into our Order!" a piece of news which would certainly have astonished the Grangers at large, as well as the particular cor respondent. We. .noticed in Moore's Rural New Yorker, an account of the no ble conduct of a Newfoundland dog, which bravely plunged, to rescue a drowning person, "from a bluff fully fifteen feet out of the water." It would be hard to say whether the compositor was to blame for his evi dent servatism in the matter of fig ures, for probably the "copy" was here only a conundrum. Pnnctuation is a matter for which the compositor and proof reader are responsible; yet, in some cases, the fault, if there be one, should be at tributed to the writer. The import ance of correct punctuation was strongly illustrated, recently at a meeting of the Ways and Means Committee, when it was shown that a comma in one place was worth 2, 000,000. In the tariff bill which went into effect Aug. 1, 1872, the free list was extended by the addi tion of several hundred articles. Among the number added were 'frnit plants, tropical and semi-tropical," for the purpose of propoga tion and cultivation. In engrossing the bill, or in the process of copy ing it for official printing, a comma was inserted after "fruit," and all fruit was thereby placed upon the free list. The custom officers how ever, not noticing the change, con tinued to collect duties on fruit un til the error was discovered. .The Ways and Means Committee report ed a bill to remove the comma, in accordance with intent of the law of 1872. The amount of tax illegally collected is not far from $2,000,000. The comma, like the tongue, is a little tiling, and like it will make nonsense, just according as it is used. Take, for instance, the old nursery rhyme. With the commas misplaced, it is so nonsensical that it needs a commentary to explain it: Eyery lady in Uie laud Has twenty nails on eaeli band, Five and twenty on hands and feet ; This is true without deceit. After the position of the commas Sfld the meaning is clear : ; : Every lady in the land Has twenty nails, on each hand Five, and twenty on hands and feet ; This is true without deceit The omission of a comma has fre quently given a very awkward turn to a sentence. We remember an epitaph which suffered severely from such an oversight. It ran pretty much as follows: "Erected to the memory of John Phillips, accidentally shot as a mark of affec tion by his brother." A printer meddling with a verdict of a Coroners jury, struck out a comma after the word "apoplexy," making it read thus : "Decease came to his death by excessive drinking, producing apoplexy in the minds of ;the jury." A correspondent introduces a piece of poetry, to the editor of an American newspaper in these words: "The following lines jwere written fifty years ago by one wb nas ior many years slept in his grave mere ly for his amusement." A comma at -"grave," would have rendered the.entence, at all events, compre hensibly though nothing would efface it .absurd diction. JOTTINGS BY THE WAY.

There is a very curious fact mentioned by Catlin, who traveled in the West, and wrote two volumes on the Indians. He states that the calves of the buffalo, if they are caught and the air from the lungs of a man is strongly breathed into their nostrils, will become so fascinated by that peculiar influence that they will run after the horse of the hun ter, and follow him five or six miles. It is said, and Mr. Catlin affirms, that in Texas, or in other parts of the country where there are wild horses taken by the lasso, if the hun ter succeeds in taking hold of their nostrils, and then forcibly expels air from his luugs into the nostrils of the horse, he will follow him any where, ana become pertecUy tame. These facts deserve to be studied. I have heard that- when Mr. Karey acted so powerfully on very violent horses, both in this country and in Europe, he had somethipf to do. with their nostrils also.
