  ing 
  this 
  coast 
  with 
  food 
  fishes. 
  They 
  had 
  taken 
  no 
  account 
  of 
  

   fancy 
  fishes, 
  but 
  had 
  endeavored 
  to 
  spend 
  the 
  moderate 
  appropria- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  for 
  some 
  permanently 
  useful 
  purpose. 
  The 
  re- 
  

   ports 
  as 
  to 
  other 
  shad 
  having 
  been 
  caught, 
  the 
  Commissioners 
  have 
  

   not 
  been 
  able 
  to 
  authenticate. 
  

  

  This 
  season 
  the 
  Commissioners 
  had 
  brought 
  across 
  the 
  continent 
  

   a 
  large 
  number 
  of 
  white-fish 
  eggs, 
  and 
  had 
  succeeded 
  in 
  hatching 
  

   about 
  25,000. 
  They 
  were 
  now 
  alive 
  and 
  well 
  in 
  Clear 
  Lake, 
  re- 
  

   moved 
  from 
  all 
  risk, 
  having 
  been 
  placed 
  there 
  three 
  weeks 
  ago 
  in 
  a 
  

   healthy 
  condition. 
  These 
  fish 
  had 
  come 
  from 
  the 
  northern 
  lakes 
  of 
  

   New 
  York. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Stout 
  exhibited 
  specimens 
  of 
  Orchilla 
  and 
  of 
  a 
  liquid 
  dye 
  from 
  

   the 
  same, 
  which 
  he 
  had 
  prepared 
  by 
  a 
  peculiar 
  process, 
  and 
  exhib- 
  

   ited 
  specimens 
  of 
  goods 
  which 
  had 
  been 
  dyed 
  with 
  this 
  preparation. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Kellogg 
  submitted 
  specimens 
  and 
  descriptions 
  of 
  new 
  plants, 
  

   LiUum 
  Bloomerianum 
  var. 
  ocellatmn 
  and 
  Aniseia
