—Of fishing in Colorado, Mr. J. II Batty writes:— 
At the Twin Lakes the fishing is tolerably good, but the 
fish arc small Should a party tit out with a park team 
when at. the Twin Lakes, and follow the Arkansas River to 
its head at Tennessee Fuss, and thou strike the head waters 
of Eagle River, and follow it down until nearly opposite the 
moiintuin of the Holy Cross, they can catch trout to their 
hearts content, and probably kill some elk and mountain 
sheep. The trout of the Eagle River run large, and large 
flies or spinning tackle should be used to take them. 
Another party wishing to hunt grizzlies can go by 
pack traiig front the hikes up Twin Lake Creek about 
ten miles to the fork, and tlicu follow the left branch 
of the creek to Elk Pass, where the Elk Mountains are 
crossed. From the Elk Mountains there is an old Ute trail 
going to Rock Creek and loathe snow ranges of the Rocky 
Mountains, where grizzlies ‘are common during the Sum- 
mer. There are trails leading to Rock Creek uud Engle 
River, which were made by the U. S. Geological Survey, 
under Dr. F. V. Ilayden in 1873. I have fished the Engle 
River thoroughly, and can recommend it as a Aral- etnas 
stream for large trout, I caught eighty there in three hours 
with grasshopper., for bait, with a green sapling for a pole. 
Many of my tisli weighed two pounds each, and I had but 
few "fish that would not turn the scales at twelve ounces. 
—The annual report of L. Maddoeks, Secretary of the 
Maine Oil ami Guano Association, shows that the number 
of Arms engaged in the manufacture of porgle oil and guano 
in that State last vfar was fourteen, with a total capital of 
$310,000 invested in factories and $300, 500 in fish gear. 
Thirty-seven vessels and twenty-two steamers were em- 
ployed; 501 fishermen found employment at sea. and 304 
men at the works. The total catch was 031,801 barrels 
porgies. of which 10,400 barrels were sold for bait; 1,031,- 
037 gallons of oil, find 10,395 tons of guano were manu- 
factured. The products of the fishery shows an increase of 
more than thirty per cent, over the previous year. 
The fishing arrivals for Hie week ending Feb. 18th, 
were ten — four from the Grand Banks, two from Georges, 
two from Newfoundland, and two from New Brunswick. 
Total amount of halibut brought in, 140,000 pounds. 
Schooner Glenwood, of this port. Captain Merry, ar- 
rived at Boston on Tuesday, with 30,000 pounds of had- 
dock, which were sold for $5 perewt., her stock amounting 
to $1,500. The Starry Flag, Star of the East, Zephyr and 
Mav Queen arrived on Wednesday, with good fares. 
The scarcity of fresh fish the past fortnight has caused 
a lively demand for frozen herring, and the vessels which 
have recently arrived from Newfoundland and New Bruns- 
wick are. disposing of their cargoes in Boston and New 
York at very temuncralive prices. No disasters have oc- 
curred thus far to the herring fleet, and business bids fuir to 
prove quite successful this season. 
Schooners John 8. lhesson, William II Foyc, Howard 
ami Flying Scud arrived from the Grand Hunks yesterday 
They brought in good fares of halibut, the l’resson having 
50,00(1 pounds, the others 30,000 each. They were qui ckly 
sold at $11 and $8 per cwt. 
Two of the Folly Cove fishermen came in on Sunday.' 
one with a thousand pounds of cod and the oilier with 90 u 
pounds. They sold quick at five cents a pound, netting 
$50 and $45 respectively .— Cape Ann Advertiser, 10 Hi. 
— A Ih-I lain*, Ohio, correspondent gives some useful 
hints to those who purpose fishing the Nepigon the coming 
season. He says:— 
"I have boon on the point once or twice, when worked up somewhat 
tiy nil occasional fish story in your paper, to tell yon something of some 
wonderful trout ft pnrty of five of us took from the pool* and ruplds of 
the Nepigon last duly, and especially of eleven Hint weighed just forty- 
four pounds, taken ut the foot of Ihe first rapid us It swirls around a 
short heml, not u ipiarter of a mile from where the river rolls out of Luke 
Nepigon, and some distance above the “Big Fall®. ’’ The angler who 
misses the falls and the upper waters misses seeing the finest scenery 
and catching the largest trout. My experience is, that (he region of 
.voter® about a mile below the falls, and ut the head of Long Port-igc, 
furnishes Hie finest sport on the entire river. If the angler has the 
nerve to canoe It over to the rocky Island lying just below the head of 
Long Portage, he muy have o famous time. Our party made the trip 
several linn -s. It Is u big risk for fish and fan. and if nn oar should by 
any chance give way, the most convenient place to look for the canoe 
and cargo would lie nt Camp Alexander; hut he who knows Hie awful 
road uhovu would have lint small hope of finding nothing,"

Eniron Foiirst and Stub am:— 
Having been much Interested In reading the adventures of numerous 
correspondents in the Foubst and Stiiram, I venture (no pun intended) 
lo contribute my share to the general fund, if "yu Editor'' shall deem it 
worthy of publication. 
At a little past "high twelve" of a bright September day In 1873, party 
of four robust men "might have been seen" wending their way toward 
liic railway station In one of our thriving New England villages, encum- 
bered with sundry traps and accoutrements, suggestive of the gentle art 
of which Sir laank Walton was the typical follower. The writer being 
one of the four aforesaid, is for ced by uu ungovernable impulse to ebrou- 
icle some of their adventures. 
The party comprised Ed., Bill, the Col., and myself, which latter p- r- 
nonage was, some few days luter, yclept Dr. bv the Col., owing to a little 
otrcumstaucu that happened In camp, whereby he was necessitated to 
exercise his ingenuity in the construction of uTnnctl needed medical In 
elruiuent from the ferrule of his bait tod. The flmt two were familiar 
with lh? Maine (whither we were bound) and Adirondack wilderness, 
white the last two were more acquainted with the Virginia and Carolina 
wood* and swamp*, having spent three or four years hunting and being 
hunted in those localities. The reader will understand from the forego- 
ing that we felt fully able to cope with the hardships of camp life for 
two or three weeks. 
Tho mouth of the river where It e optics into Lake Mollychuokanrank 
w as our destination, at which we arrived by boat rail, backboard, Ac , 
two days later. Wo were fortunate to And a vacant log camp, much bet- 
ter than the bark one built by Ed and Bill some year or two previous, 
which wo had intended to occupy; so we took possemlon sans reremtno . 
It being late In the dsy wlu-n we arrived, we proceeded to establish our- 
selves in housekeeping, and did no fishing until the next morning, when, 
without waiting for such a trifle a* breakfast, all hands were out on Hie 
lake by diy light whipping away with considerable more zeal than sue- 
cess. However, before long Ed h id a rise, nnd succeeded in hooking Ids 
fl*h, which, after a few minutes' piny, was lauded In the boat - a Due two 
pound specimen of the speckled trout. The rest of us managed to get a 
Jew apiece, and then we returned to camp to satisfy the inner jnau, 
The routine of camp life being *o generally understood by your read- 
ers. I will tcfntlu from giving ilctAlla of ours on thl* occasion, only re- 
marking In pasting Hint upon your humble servant, a* tho youngest of 
tho parly, devolved tho duly of keeping tho camp fire burning at night, 
which twees -luted a midnight excursion each night. In scanty raiment; 
but lo return to onr mutton The Col,, though n novice with tho fly rod, 
by no means an unskillful ouc, was ouu day Ihrowlug from a large rock 
on tho shore nnd struck a noble fish. Not having hi* net at hand he 
was In somewhat of u quandary, but resolving to do or (lie, ho proceeded 
to land Mr. Salmo f'on/lnalit like l’at played Hu< fiddle— by main 
strength. lt» gave a strong pull, after having reeled the line up short, 
when snap) went the red in three pieces, and about the same lime the 
OoL made a I unite Into the water up lo his middle, and sewing llw Hue. 
succeeded In landing his fish, which proved lo be Ihe largest one c night 
dating outstay, tipping Hie scales easily nt three pounds. 
Our catch \vn* not rentaikable, a* the water wo* unusually low, so that 
the fish were not running much, bnt we contrived to bring out nil we 
wanted for ourselves nnd friends, besides living on them (the fish, not 
onr friends), while In cninp. till II wu» dtfltciill to change our Innar gsr 
meat* Sunday morning, for the an* protruding from our fii-sh. Tills (o 
he taken as we took our trout, cum pro no stills. Perhaps I ought to call 
this fin I* here, but shall have to relate our experience In climbing Ml 
Observiitory. 
Wo embarked st about nine A. M. one day, after having drawn the 
blanket aero** tho entrance to onr camp, with anotlco attached, informing 
CAltcrs that the family were away, and pulled for the “old mill" at the 
mouth of the stream that flows from the Richardson pond*, distant aim at 
two mile*. Thu wind wnsdend ahead, and lota of II, bnt an ash breoir 
prevailed, n* It usually will, nnd we Iniuled near tho old mill In u little 
less than an hour. Here wo found a party from— .podunk- the spokes 
man of which, attired In knee breaches nnd umbrella, met us ns wo landed 
nnd escorted os to their enmp. This genUeman— Smith, wo will call 
him, although Hint wns'ntblannmo, any more than Podunk wns his res 
Idunce— Insisted that wo should sample his poison, of which I should 
Judge he had twenty gallons of various kinds. "You see," say* Smith, 
"Ihe hoys are terribly nfnild of bugs nnd worm* In thl* ere lake water, 
sowehnveto put something In to kill 'em," We sampled, nnd then 
ant down n few mlnuto* to smoke uud compare note*, when wo girded 
onr loins for the ascent. As yon look from the old mill the mountain 
appears a short mile away, but alas! In this Instance, a* In many others, 
appearances were deceptive. We trudged gnlly nlong to the first pond, 
n'onnd that to thonecond, nnd still uo rising ground; having taken our 
course by the sun when w* struck Into tho woods nt the mill, which wu» 
the Inst place from which we could see the mountain, wo were confident 
a* to our direction. Soon after leaving tho second pond tho ascent 
proper began, nnd the next mile, for “npplshne*"," rather bore aw ny 
the palm frim uny tiling I had before encountered. We were In a truly 
primeval forest, the limber being mostly spruce, with a scattering of 
pine, fir, and stunted cedars; the underbrush was composed of what I* 
Called moose bush, from Its furnishing food for that noble animal. 
Signs of deer were plenty, hut the unlinnl h!m*elf did not appear. In 
doe time wo arrived at tho summit., and a scene wns opened to onr vision 
which amply repaid for onr tlreaorau tramp Far oil to tho south could 
be seen the White Mountains, their lops just showing nbovo the clouds, 
while to the east and north wore Mis. Bald Pule, Abraham. Kntahdln, 
and 1 numerous other peaks unknown to iih byname. A few farms and 
houses could he scun in the direction of Farmington, hut elsewhere 
nothing civilized met the eye. Thu Megnllowny, on |b« west, looked 
like n small trout brook Just under ihe mountain, hut In fact wnasuv- 
oral mile* distant, nnd of snfilclcnt volume to float a steamboat In the 
sonlhwust, but n few miles dislunt, was Ml . O- tertian*, whose rocky nnd 
barren summit prevented onr senmg the Megnllowny settlement, which 
lies just the other slilo. The lakes lo he smut from our position were 
fully twenty In number, comprising the whole Rungeley chain, which up 
peared to be almost, under our foot, and many other" of lessor size, which 
fringed with tho Autumn foliage of nearly all the eolors of tho rainbow, 
and guarded by the lofty ami solemn peaks, make n picture fully equal 
to any foreign oeuiviry. Before descending we mapped out u course tlini 
would take us through several groves of birches, where we anticipated 
finding n few rnfTcd grou«o with which to vary onr fish diet, I being tin- 
only armed -member of the party was obliged to attend lo this plen>nnt 
duty, uud before we reschml our boat had hugged six without going mil 
of our way a particle. 1 should say, that a person hunting one day 
on the side of this mountain could shoot all the ruffed giouse he could 
carry.
