Interview in New York Graphic. I Lave often bocii questioned as to vhat prompted iue to venture mto fish culture. To make a long story short, I have been engaged iu the fishing business eiufe I was a boy. In lb:53 1 fished with set hooks anil line for salmon trout in Canada, and in that year I made a discovery that afterward proved to be the turning point of piy life. One day while fish ing, a usuj, in a stream called lien Head Creek, iu the Q;teen"s domin ions, mv attention was attracted to I the singular movements of a female salmon truiit I noticed that she made a hole in the bottom of the stream with her tail and saw that she covered it tip again. Creeping up close to the bank, I reached a tree, and unobserved secured a foothold among its branches, giving me a clear view of the water. Here I sat for more than a day, and saw the female fish repeat this action so frequently that I became fully satisfied in my own mind that this was their mode of casting their spawn and milt, and that rapidly running spring water was their usual resort for this pur pose. I resolved that at some future day I would utilize the information I had gained and throw aside my rod and line. WelL in 1861, at Caledo nia Creek, this State the present location of the State fish-hatching establishment I made a successful venture in artificial hatching. I first took some spawn of the trout and used the same method that every body else had tried, as far as I hud heard. I placed it in a vessel and filled it one-third or one-half full of water, and then stripped the milt in and stirred it with the fish's tail, be cause it was soft and as it was the style then in vogue. The tempera ture of the water I U6ed was between 51 and 52 degrees. At the end of sixteen drys I could tell which eggs were and which were not impregna ted. I counted several hundred spawn, and found twenty-five per cent- impregnated. I informed an acquaintance of what I had done, and Le s:iid it was as good as was ever done in any country. I was a little discouraged, and said I would not stay in the hatching business if I could not do better. At night I thought it over, and during the in terval I examined ths milt under the microscope and watched the little an imaloula, and supposed that in their movements taey went into the egg. I then suid to myself, suppose I do not use so much water ; suppose I do not u.se it all ? Next morning I got some spawn and milt, and did not use any water, but sifted it down anil covered it all over with miit and let it stand five to eight minutes, and then added a little water to it, and in about ten to fifteen minutes more added a little more water, and at the end of half an hour washed them off and put them in the hatching appa ratus, and in sixteen days I counted hundreds and hundreds of spawn, and had ninety -five per cent impreg nated. I did not tell anybody about it for three years. Such was my be ginning. In 1SG7 1 artificially hatch ed 15,000,000 shad, and had stocked the Connecticut river in June of that year. In 1&71 as many shad were caught in one day and had been caught in env one year in twenty years. In 1SGS I placed 5,000,000 young shad in the upper Hudson at Castkton and at CaU.kilL and have followed it up with the same number yearly. They have done wonderfully well, and so have the fishermen, as there are ten now where there was one then. Preserve the snawn while in the egg, and the fish when young and unable to swim, and all will be well. This is done to a great degree by ar tificial hatching. Not more than one in 1000 is 6aved when hatched in the natural way, owing to the attacks made on the ycung by all kinds of insects and water animals. Shad drop down into brackish water in the fall of the first year's growth. The second year they seek the sea, and probably one-half return in the third year. The fourth year they fully mature Last year I sent 113 black bass to California, and 1)9 reached their destination in good condition. These were ued to stock the small lakes, and I expect that they will do it welL The shad placed in the Sac ramento river have thriven and in creased beyond my hopes. The key" in making a success in stocking our waters with fish is in putting each kind in 'the water that is suitable for them. There is as much sense in sowing wheat on the bare shingles on the top of a house as to r-utunc nsh in the wrong water. ErooK trout are only suitable for clear, cold water, of which the tern peratore never goes above 70 degrees. Salmon trout will live only in clear, n,,M Wn lakes. Thev need the purest water of any fish in this coun try. I have put brook trout, 6almon trout, greyling, California and Ken nebeck salmon and California brook trout in a large aquaria, and as the water became warm the salmon trout began to suffer first, and died before the mercury went up to 74 degrees. The brook trout went next, the grey ling next, California brook trout fo;n-th, the Kennebec fifth, and the California 6almon last The salmon trout died twelve hours before any of the rest, and ali of the others died within four hour hours of each other. All of the fall epawing fish want clear, cold water. White fish will not live in water above 72 degrees. I have seen a haul of this class of fish in a seine, and when they got into shallo vr water where the teroper atore was 74 degrees ten rods from the shore, the fish began to '-turn up." The spring and summer spawning fish, such as the bass, will live in water aa high as 86 degrees, or even warmer. Black or lake bass nted purer water than many other kinds. They want large, rocky rivers, where there are cray fish and dobsen. Lake George is a beautiful lake for bass, but they do not seem to thrive in it Last summer I went down there and made a thorough examina tion, and I found there were no crav fish in the lake ; sol had 1800 put in, which will soon stock it, and I have no doubt they will make it one of the best bass lakes in the country. The cray fish are prolific breeders, and carry their spawn undtir their tail until hatched, and afterwards care for their young until they can take care of themselves. I think it is safe to say that every female raises 500 young every year. Rock bass and yellow perch and bullheads are good fish to put in some waters. Bullheads in particular are prolific breeders. They make a hole in the muck or bank large enough to admit themselves, and then dig out a room two feet in diameter. Here they lay their eggs and watch over them until they are hatched, and care for the young fur three weeks. I put GOO bullheads in Chautauqua Lake two years ago and novr a pailful can be taken in a short time. Four years ago a gentleman sent me 500 California brook trout and spawn, and I hatched and raised them. Now some of them weigh 2$ pounds. Last March we took (iO.OOO spawn from them, and distributed all but 20,000, which we aro raising. They are a great deal easier grown than our brook trout, and I would like to see large shipments of the Fpuwn made in the Atlantic States. . Argument Court Proceedings. - Held Ma ecu 18, 1S79.

Wilson, of this place, were referred, have acquitted tbe Reverend gentleman of all the accusations brought against him. The Riot Damage Act of If 19 should be repealed. It was the result of the religious Catholic riots of 1811, and should not be brought in to cover a case of riot or Insur rection, such as took place in July, 1877, in doten States in this Union of States. The Executive Committee of the Juniata County Sabbath-School Association met at Dr. Elder's, on Friday last, and arranged a programme for the next Convention, to be held at Thompsontown, on Wednesdny and Thursday. May 28th and 29th, 1S79. When a State sends its troops and puts down a riot, it does not follow that the State should py money damages that the rioters themselves incurred when they raised their lawless hands against local and State authority. To pay such damages is to pnt a premium on rioters. JJiuiel Spicher, an aged citizen of Dela ware township, died at his borne, suddenly, last Thursday. In the morning of that day be was in his usual health ; be went to the barn to attend stock, and just as he entered the door of the house on his return from the tarn he fell dead.

An exchange writer writes of oats sowing in Kan las as follows : " I have a friend out here, who loads his oats on the wagon, ties three harrows alweast to the rear end of tbe wagon, then he takes a position on tbe sad dle horse with a bag of oats in front of him. When all is ready be starts the team and begins to sow, the wagon following with the balance of the oats and the harrows on be hind." This fish story from tho Perry county freeman: We were shown recently by Charles H. Smiley, of this town, a perch nearly nine inches in length, and of good width, that had been taken from the stom ach of a salmon preseuted to tbe gentleman by one of his Duncacoon frbnds. The perch was still in good condition, exceptipg a small portion of tbe tail which bad been digested. This, from the Altoona Tribune of last Wednesday A most remarkable mirage happened to a Hollidaysbtirg man the other day. He says be was invited by a friend to take a drink, when, raising the glass to his lips, he discovered in the glass a miniature hearse, standing beside an oicn grave, into which was being lowered a coffin. It is needless to say be did not drink that liquor, and has had no relish for liquor since. It is said that there are two Mrs. Mary Olivers in Washington tbe one has ex- Senator Cameron in court in a suit for breach of promise, and the other is a clerk n the office of the Comptioller of the cur rency, which place she secured on the rec ommendation of the ex-Senator. The name of one or the other of tbe women should have been changed. Mis. Nancy Weidman, residing near Van Wert, died unexpectedly at 4 o'clock on Friday morning. On Thursday evening she enjoyed her usual health, and listened to the reading of two newspapers by County Superintendent Smith, who has been mak ing his home at her place. At the hour mentioned above, a waiting maid in tbe em ploy of Mrs. Weidman aroused Mr. Smith. He hastened to Mrs. Wei l man's room and found her dying. She breathed but a few times, after he reached her bedside) The suit of Mrs. Oliver against ex-Sena tor Cameron for breat h of promise and the. recovery of fifty thousand dollars damage baa been in progress since last week. The city papers coutaiu lengthy reports of the evidence as given iu the case in court. The reports are about as full of obscenity, as re jiorts that could be gotten at any regular erm of county court, where cases for un law to! intimacy between the sexes come up or settlement. Cuuntiy newspapers at every regular court could fill their columns with just such obtcene articles, but they snuplf make a brief statement of such cases. On Sunday morning a brakeman named John Kennedy, while in the act of coupling cars at Manarunk station, Mifflin county, had his lett hand caught by the bumpers. The hand was so crushed that a dispatch was sent to this place requesting that sur geeos be summoned to render service to the lacerated and broken band on the arri val of the train. When the train came in, Dra. Crawford, Banks, and S-indoe were in waiting to attend to the surgical and medi cal requirements of tbe case. Two fingers and the thumb were amputated. Mr. Ken nedy left on the 10:10 a. h. train for Har risburg, where bis wife and children live. All that is necessary to get a forcible ex pression from Father Frysingcr, of the Lew istown Gazelle, is to mention that some one has been taking advantage of the fish, and it is expressed immediately, as per ex ample, as f ollows, from his paper last week : Captain Dunn, we hear, played a good joke ou a canal seizing party below tho dam locks by opening the gates and Hooding them out. The idea entertained by some people that tbe canal can be seined with in.imnirv will some dav be knocked out of their heads by a prosution. The canal is much a part of the river as is Kisliico- quiilas, Jack's, or any other creek, and be sides is inhabited by bass, to take which or have in possession is subject to a fine of ten dollars. Politicians in town have been en gaged in crookedness, as is evidenced by the statement of the borough election board. The board states that when the borough election box was opened last Sat urday morning the box was minus the ticket and tally list of the votes polled at tho election in February. This is the second time, according to the statement of election boards, that ballot-boxes in the custody of officers in the borough have been tampered with. Such outrages merit severe punishment A number of citizens have brought an action against the election board iu the bor ough "on a plea of debt for a pemlty." The time for a hearing has been fued for March 28, between the hours of 9 oi 1 10 o'clock A. M., in 'Squire Loudon's oflice. Soon after President Lincoln went to Washington, he attended the Foundry church, occupying a seat within the altar while Bishop Simpson preached a mission ary sermon. Alter tne collection was taxen at the close of the sermon snd the congre gation was about to be dismissed, an irre pressible brother rose and proposed to be one -f a given number to raise one hun dred dollars to make President Lincoln a life director of the missionary society. The proposition was put, and Brothers A, B and C responded eliblr. But the inevitable pause finally came. A balance was want ing. When the Bishop announced, " Who will take the balance I"' the pause became slightly impressive. The tall form of Lin- coin was seen to rise, a long bony arm was extended imploringly, and he said, " Bish op, this is tbe first time I have ever been placed on tbe auction block.

Tnc other day, while a Detroit Justice of tbe Peace sat warming his feet by tbe stove, and his nose by a cigar, a stranger entered and presently inquired : " Judge, how much will you charge me to read over about fifteen lines of printed matter from a book I have f" "Why. can't you read them ?" replied His Honor. " I can, bnt I want to hear how the lines sound w hen read aloud. I'll give you a quarter to read them to me." "All right," replied the Justice, I can't m ike two shillings any easier." A vomiu entered the door at that mo ment and the stranger put down the book on the desk, clasped her hand and said : "Begin at the pencil mark there, and read slowly." His Honor's chin dropped exactly eigh teen inches by dry measure as he saw that the reading matter was the nsual form of marriage, but he didn't back down from his word. It was the chespest marriage be ever attended, and he didn't half enjoy the chuckles of the bride and groom as tbey went out Detroit Free Preu. Tuis is the difference in cases: If a man is on the cars and sees a young lady he doesn't know from Eve, and never saw be fore, trying to let down the window he throws down his paper, takes off his hat, bows himself double, smiles clear round to his after-col'ar button, says sweetly, " Al low me I" and closes the window with graceful skill and charming courtesy. If his sister says, "Tom, won't you please let this window down for me " he tucks his paper savagely under his arm, aud stalking across the aisle, stands on her feet while be bangs the window down with a slan that fills her face and and hair with dust. And if his wire, holding the baby in one arm and a lunch basket on the other, tries to let down the window, and says timidly and suggestively, " Oh, dear, I don't believe I can get it down," he grunts, says Eh ? oh !" and buries himself still deeper in his paper.
