130 CONCLUSION. 



For tlie 2^^1'P'^s^ ^^ removing doubts with the 

 skeptical, I here insert a notice of our exhibi- 

 tion by a visitor of the Fair Grounds, also a 

 notice of our fish ponds and nursery by the tal- 

 ented and gentlemanly editor of the Louisville 

 Courier, 



THE TROUT. 



" One of the most interesting novelties on the 

 Fair ground, was a glass reservoir, containing a 

 number of young trout, artificially reared by Dr. 

 Garlick. The Doctor himself was there, apj^aren- 

 tly much satisfied with his pets, and explaining 

 the process of rearing them to those who had 

 not been so fortunate as to read his communi- 

 cations in the Ohio Farmer, The scaly strangers 

 were really beautiful creatures, sparkling, and 

 changing their hues with every motion of their 

 graceful bodies, leaping, diving, and chasing each 

 other in the very spirit of frolic. Some had at- 

 tained the respectable age of three years ; others 

 were mere flakes of gold and silver, darting about 

 like minnows, yet I saw no indications of a can- 

 nibal nature on the part of the largest. Perhaps, 

 after all, "big fishes" do not always eat " little 

 ones!" 



Dr. G. has given complete proof of his suc- 

 cess in the branch of science to which he is 

 devoted, and deserves the thanks of the com- 

 munity, not only for the instruction, but the 

 gratification afforded by this interesting sj)ectacle."
