deposited tbeir ova in tbe pond,  which, in : as namberd are coucerued, exceeds all the
fish iu the ocean put together. They pene¬ trate to the Polar sea, inaccedsible on many accounts to voracious fish, and thete breed and maltiply beyond the compatation of man. It was supposed by Pennant that if two herrings wore allowed to live, and in¬ creased in their characteristic style, and the live.H of their olispring spared for twenty five years, their bodiea united wonld exceed the bulk of the world   ten  limes.

We oan scarce¬ ly conceal our amazement .at the nnmber of

I once closed the gill covers, aud <le th ensned iu a very short time by auObcatiou ; and on auotber occasion fast¬ ened them opeu, in such a manueV that the mouth could not exert a pressnre-to re-act ou the water, and death ensued immediately.
Tbe mouth of tht* .•^tupyt'nn ia a complete force pump, aud is cuusiauily fiiipbu'^'d dri- , ving water through the fringes ofthe gills with great force. The mouth of tho lizzard, | frog and toad may bu called a bellows, by ; means of which the animal forces air iato its \ lungs, wbich are composed of long, narrow i cylinders, extending from one rnd of their bodies to the other; they may be killed in a few miuntt-s hy fastrtning tUeir mouths open when they die for want of air. All animals that breathe atmospheric air ha^e two hearts united, called a double heart, one of which throws all the blood into tbe lungs, and the other foroes it throngh all the arteries in tha body; both are force pumps and both have valves. Fish are cold-blooded, and have but one heart of the gills, which answers the aame purpose as the heart of the lunf;s in animals. Whales are warm-blooded, breathe air, and are, therefore, supplied with a heart and lupgs, but uo gills; consequently, a whale is not a fish. A fish cannot breathe air or water alone ; they must ba mixed, and there¬ fore it would seem to follow that a fish is not an animal.
The digestive apparatus of the atnrgeon ia aimpie and complete, and is capable of secre¬ ting gaatrio juice very rapidly, and in great abundance. To prove this, I killed one five hours after ha had swallowed a frog, but there was nothing remaining of it in his stomach excjept two small bones.
Surprise haa been expressed by gentlemen that I could fresh-walerize salt-water fish.— Now, the fact probably is that all fish were originally salt-water fish, and inhabitants of the ocean; bnt the Deity having implanted in them habits of wandering, they have heen gradnally dispersed throughout all the watera tributary to the great oc ^aus, and carried by birds to every pond, lake and pool on the face of the earth, which teemed with count¬ less thonsnnds of organized insect*, eternally propagating their species to supply them with food. Mau, animals and fish, can, at all times change their residence, and soou become ac¬ climated to auy locality.
Salsios (Salmo Saiar._)—Tbe upper part of the female is somewhat larger than tbe nnder and in the male fish the under jaw curves np, so that the sexes may be easily distin- goiahed by this peculiarity; there ia a shade of blue on theback of both fish, with silver Bides, containing dark spots of an  irregular form; the teeth are on the tongue; aud the Bcales are all striated.    Tbe Connecticut river was once famous for this  magnificent fish ; tbey traversed il to its highest branchesj overcoming waterfalls and cataracts with the greatest imaginable ease, and after depo.=iiling their ova, re(\imed to the ocean,  tbin and emaciated ; they have decreased in the same ratio that men have increased, and have now become extinct.   When they enter fresh wa¬ ter, they are covered by an insect called sal¬ mon louse, which dies after the third day.— Tbey are then infested  with  fresh   water worms, which die on their return  to  sea.— Salmon cannot be caught by auy person wear ing a red shirt or cap, as tbey  bave a very great antipathy to that color,auc) wheu alarm ed will swim at the rale of thirty-two  miles an hour.    Il bas been undeniably proved by many successful experiments that they iuva- xiably return to the streams  iu   which   tbey were born, to deposit their spawn, and wl^en they go back to tbe sea Ibeir haunts art- un¬ known.
Their spawning ground invariably bas a gravelly bottom. On reaching it, they pair off, and together make their spawning bed, which is often eleven feet long aud nine feet wide. The female forms a furrow, by work iog up stream, in which she deposits berov-i, the male follows aud ejects his milt upou tbem, and covers them with bis tail; they are frequently engaged ten days in this occu¬ pation, after which tbe male fish directs his courae towards the ocean, followed ten days later by tbe female, she having spent tbe in¬ termediate time in tha deep parts of the riveii apparantly for the the purpose of rest. At the expiration of ninety days the fry are iLatohed, and have attached to eaoh individ¬ ual a small sack containing the yolk; this is gradually taken into the stomach by the nat¬ aral absorbing fanotton of the navel, and is the only food they require for some time.
dne time batched tiiere, and produce I a great quantity of young eels. I am convin¬ ced, though I uever seen either spawn or milt in eels, that they have all the necessary parts of generation, as well as other fish; they are very tenacious of life. I have knowu them ttf live five days in a grass meadow, and wht-n returued to tlm water, swim with their usual rapidity. I bave placed them one hnn¬ dred yards from the pond, and found that they would invariably turn toward the water aud make tbeir way to the nearest point evincing a strong migratory instinct. Eels are supposed to be spread over the world more universally than auy other animal ex¬ cept man, but none are seen in situations where they cannot get to salt water. For example, they are not found in Lake Erie, above tho falls of Niagara. Eels were never seen above tbe falls in Paterson, until the canal was cut; ever since that period they have been found in immense quantities and of excellen: quality. They are nothing more nor less thau water serpents, and may be called the connecting link between amphibi¬ ous and aquatic reptiles. They have been canght in New York harbor weighing thirteen pounds. As au article of food they are ex- tremely nutritious aud rich, but contain a large quantity of oil, and unless eaten with au acid, are apt to occasion derangement of tbe digestive organs. Eels are covered with a muceous substance, which makes them difficult to hold,'and has led to the no- tiou tliat they are devoid of scales. This is an error, as I have discovered them readily whh a magnifying glass.
The Bdll Head (CoWus Go6:d) is nniver¬ sally knowu over the whole continent, being adapted to all latitudes. It is a disgusting looking fish, having an oltve-colored body, with a black back. The head is out of pro¬ portion to the rest of the body, and has a long, sickle-shaped spine on eaoh side of it. They seldom exceed twelve inches in length. The habit of this fish, when about to deposit its ova, is to build a regular nest in the mnd, which it carefully lines with aquatic grass ; in this the female deposits her eggs, which iu due time hatch, and are protected with great care and apparent anxiety by both mal& and female, until large enoagh to look out for themselves. Tbese nests may be found all along the shores of the Hudson .river. When takeu from the water it grunts, by inflating the gills and muscles of the mouth.
The Sdckbu (^Cyprinus Teres).—^This is a still, dingy-colored, lazy fish, and is particu¬ larly fond of basking in the snn, with ita head towards the inlet, holding on by suction to some atone or root. Its mouth is shaped much like that of the sturgeon—the eyes are very large and without eyelids. Suckers sometimes grow sixteen inches iu leugth iu my ponds, aud weigh one and a half pounds, but their flesh is not much prized aa food.— I have examined this fish thoroughly and find his organs have not the least connection with those of respiration, his olfactory nerves are very large, aud have, ou that account, beeu takeu for his brain, and he has no ex¬ ternal ear ; he has three winding tiibes in his head, which terminate in a bag filled with nervous marrow, containing three hard bones —this constitutes the whole organ of hear ing—the organ of taste is more imperfect still; the tongue bas not eveu the papillaj, aud tbe nerves branch uff to Lbe gills, the motion of the heart is far more independant of tbe spinal marrow and brain than in the higher orders of animals, aud possesses motion for a very long time after the brain is destroyed.
These remarks apply lo nearly all fish—at least I have not fonud an exception in my examinations, Tiie first impulse iu swimming comes from the tail, wbich, witb its fin, serves. as a rndder, to ^l^e dirtiction to the motions uf lhe fish, and the other fins regulate the positiou, and guide htm through his native element. Fish smell the bait much farther tban they can aee it, and I have no doubt, from Biperin-enls tbat bave be9n tried in my ponds, that their sense of smell is exceedingly acute, aud their heariug sufficiently developed to be perfectly snsceptible of all simple sounds, having the same acoustic apparatuB tbat ia found in the centre of an animal's ear, but being enclosed in the hones of the skull in suoh a manner that the vibratory motion in water of sound cornea in contact with the auditory nerve, and thus produces the sensation of hearing.   The eye of tha
been counted in one female. They are vora¬ cious feeders, aud live on lhe small fry o' other fish. They are in great request as food, but are only in perfection when full of spawn and perfectly fresh. No fish spoil more ra¬ pidly thau they; in consequence of their be¬ ing so periahable, the authorities in London permit them to be oried throngh the streets on Sunday.
I expeot to have the following curions fish iu my ponds within the next six months.
The Tench (Cyprinus Tinea) is kuown as the physician of flsh; he is covered by a glu¬ tinous slime tbal will immediately heal any wounded fish coming in contact with him ; it bas ofteu been observed that the tvrant pike, though starving, forbears to devour the tench. He has large fins, small, amooth soales, a red circle surrounding the eyes, whioh are of a golden color, and there hangs fr( m either angle of his mouth a little barb; in his head are two stones tbat physicians make use ofi but have not oommnuioated for what purpose. They are geuerally found in large stagnant waters, witb muidy bottoms ; weigh from 8 to 12 lbs., aud are considered in Kngland one of their best fresh water fish.
From experiments that I have tried in the them, equaling in extent It-ly, France and artificial breeding of fish, I aui convinced that Spain, leave the regions of the I'ole in the tj^e ova of all varieties may be carried, after spring. Early in June tbey surround the Shetland Islands ; next Scotland, Ireland and
the ova of all varieties may be carried, after impregnation, three or four thonsand milus, iu water occasionally »>rated, and planted as successfully as if deposited by the parent fish.

The cod ia covered with loose, soft scales, and has soft, venal fins ; the air bladder is large, and teetb are arranged in unequal rows. He is confined to cold climates, and found  in
of young shad, which I use as food for my pickerel and perch.
A breeding pond should have grass around the sides, and occasional gravel beds rising to within two inches of the snrface, for the fish to spawn upon; two females and one male will atock an acre pond iu two years; and in three years it wJU ba necessary to put in a few male perch or pickerel to thin them ont. If eels and bull beads get in your pond, as they inevitably will in a short time, satu¬ rate the water with quick lime, and in a few hours the flsh will all die aud come to the surface, when they may be used as manure, and will produce, on account nf their rioh oily nature, the most luxuriant effect on laud.

E.SGLISH AXD American Issasity.—It is said
these latitudes are inferior iu quality  aud
size.    They are never seen in the Mediterra*
neau.   The banks  of Newfoundland, Nova
Scotia and New Englaud abouud with them ;
they are also takeu on   the  south and west .
coasts of Iceland, Norway, aud  off Scotland.
They spawn on  rocky grouud, and recover
after it sooner than any known fish.    The
flesh of the cod is white, rich, firm, and ex¬ tremely nutritious.    Ho possesses the power ' of compressing his air bladder, and thus con- j deustug the atr to such a degree that his spe¬ cific gravity becomes much heavier tbau wa¬ ter, and ho sink.s rapidly ; when  he desires to rise,he relaxes the muscles connected with '. hia bladder, causing the air within it to  be] expanded,  when he   immediately  becomes
specifically more light than the water, and 1 that there are in the English Insane Asylums, ascends. The flounder, sole,eel, and nutner- I at least fourteen thousand patients, and iu ous other fish have no bladder, and are there- . none of tbem cau be found a single straight fore compelled always to remain on the hot- jacket* Its nse is never resorted to.

in certain localities as long as they yield ap¬ propriate food in sufficient abundance to satisfy hia wants ; h» ia parlicnlarly fond of certain marine plants, muscles, saud-worma aud snails. The cod cau never be canght by tbe fiesb of his own species cut up for bait, as many fish oan. If stale bait is nsed, he smells it at ouce, and flees from it rapidly.— This fish is regarded very jtistly as a source of commercial wealih and national induatry, as well aa a wonder of nature in ita continu¬ auce to multiply as it does, notwithstanding the m^ rlads that are deatroyed by the agenoj of man, also in the egg shape by ravenous fishes, and eveu by their own gluttonous pa- renta, clearly demonstrating tbat without ex¬ traordinary creative powers the speolea oonld not be protracted long. Bnt nature has en¬ dowed this race of fish with the most remark¬ able fecundity, aa careful and oft-repeated observation haa shown that the ovaries of each fall grown cod contain, on an average, nine million three hundred and forty-four thousaud ova.
Their flesh is composed of firm, white, fia- koy muscles, and forms a wholesome diet, either fresh, salted or dried ; the tongues and hladdera, salted or pickled, are considered a delicacy by epicures; the liver is delioiohe, and affords a limpid oil, now well-known tb oommerce; the head ia principally composed of gelatine, and is considered the most nutri¬ tive portion of the fish, and would fnmish a large per centage of isinglass, orglne, if prop-
outer tunica always moist.   Therefore, there
being no tears for lubricating purposes, I have
never found a laobrymal sao.   There is a

ascertained that the greatest liability to in¬ sanity exists from twenty to forty years of age, aud that the liability ot the sexes is in the proportion of fifty-four per cent, of males to fourty-six of females. Among other facts developed are, tbat those engaged in agricul¬ tural pursuits, are more liable to become insane, that nutr!tion» food is Iwlter adapted to their wants than low fare, that personal restraint is very seldom necessary, all estab¬ lishing a basis u[>on whioh the treatment of the insane haa been reduced to soience.
With these factSj Amerioan statistics in a measure agree. In regard to tbe insane among the pauper population, there is, how¬ ever, quite a differenoe. In England and Wales, iu 1857, one pauper out of every fifty was insane ; whereas, only one ont of every fonr thousand ofthe non-paaper class was so. In the large towna, snch as Jjondon, insanity prevails to a greater extent than in other towna, owiug, it is supposed to the greater cerebral activity of ibe inh'abitanta. This faot has its parallel in the United States, where the largest proportb n of insane, is to be fonnd in Now England. The cities, also, have more insane thau the conntry.
The causes of insanity are various. In ronnd numbers, about teu per cent, are her¬ editary physioal causes; about sixty-two per oeut. moral causes, and the remainder are anknown. Nearly half thoae iusane from moral causes become insane from grief. In insanity from moral oausea abont fifty-one per cent, recover, but when the inaanity is from physical causes, only thirty-four. Near¬ ly half of thoae who recover Have a seoond attack, according to one authority "* Another estimates that of ten persons .attacked,^ve recover jand five die, not more'thau two opn-
Mnraell, contained tbe followiug amusing and , instructive passage:
The point  to wbich I faave next to direct : attention is mauliuesa in speech.   There are many young meu wbo seem to consider it i eaaential to manliness tbat tbey should be i masters of slang.    The sporting world, like ' ita brother, the swell mob, haa a language of its  own; hut  thia dog-English extends far beyond the sporting world.   It uomea with ita hordes of barbarous words, threatening tbe entire extinction of genuine Engliah.
Now jnst liaten for a moment to our  fast joung man, ot tbe ape of a fast young mau, who thinks that to be a man he must apeak iu the dark phraseology of slang.    If he does anything on his own responsibility, he does it on bis own "book."   If he aeea anythiug remarkable good he calls it a "stunner," the superlative of which ia a "regular stunner.'' If a man is requested to pay a tavem bill he ia asked if he will "stand Sam."   If he meed , a aavage looking dog, be calla him au "ugly t customer."   If he meets an eccentric mau, he ' calls him a "rummy old cove."   A aensible mau is a "chap that's np to snuff.".
Our young friend never acolds, but "blows up;" never pays, but "stumps up;" never , finds it difficult to pay, but is "hard up;" ' never feela fatigued, but is "used up." He has no hat, bnt shelters his head beneath a "tile. ' He wears no neckcloth, but surrounds hta throat with a "choker. He livea nowhere bnt there ia some place wherehe "hangs out." He never goea away or withdraws, but he bolts"—he "3lopBs"-hft "mizzlea"'^he "makes himaelf scarce"—he "walks^his chalks"—he "makes tracks'-7- he "cuts hia stick**—or what is the same thing, he "cuts hia lucky.*' The highest compliment that you can pay him is to tell him that he is "regnlar brick." He does not profeaa to be brave,but be prides himaelf  on  being  "plucky."     Money is a

Hut, it is also true that we had manv ' blind leaders of the blind,' to to say nothing of the immoral habits of some who claimed to be teachers. Would be teachers, being tbe trumpeters of tbeir <twn fame, would frequently assnme thefuneUon.^ of school-master, director, examiner, .ioilge and jury. In fact, we were as effectually uuder the * one-man power* then, as we cau be uow, and—save us from tbe tyranny of King Ignoramus. Neither cau the Snperin- tendenl please everybody. No, he cauuot, nor should not. 'Everybody,' is a mixed compound of every sentiment, good, bad, in¬ telligeut, stupid, and consequently couldn't be pleased with- the true Superintendent's consistency, nor with the quack Superinten- ent's pliability.
The Superintendent should carefully sttidy his profession, understand all its bearings, and guide bis examinations for iIih advance¬ ment of the qualifications of teachers.   There
