Fish. --The run of fish in the Potomac, thus far, has been exceedingly moderate. A considerable amount of perch have been caught and brought to Alexandria, Va. Some of them are very fine, and sold at excellent prices.--But few shad or herring have been caught.--The former sell from $20 to $22 per hundred.

. Juliet says, a "rose by any other name will smell as sweet," but the fish do not agree with her in opinion. They stand upon names. They believe in names as firmly a Tristram Shandy.They will not bite at the hook, if the rod is held by a man named Peter. If a man named Peter cast a net or a sein they will not be taken. They do not like the name of Peter. Their antipathy to it is traditional. It has come down to them from the apostolic age. One of the disciples was namedPeter, and he fished a whole night without getting a nibble. We could cite an example to the same purport, in our own day, and our own city. But it is our policy studiously to avoid personalities. The inference is enough. Fish will not be caught by any man bearing the name of Peter. Therefore, we say to those who live by fishing, and bring up their offspring to the same calling, "if you have a dozen sons, don't name one of them Peter, If you do you, will spoil him for a fisherman, for his whole life to come."
