Cleveland’s Virginia Fishing Resort.

The United States fish commissioner has received instructions, at the instance of President Cleveland, to restock with trout the stream which makes its way through the land of Mr. Harrison of Leesburg, Va., whose guest Mr. Cleveland has so frequently been when publio affairs were in such shape tha]t there was nothing for him to do but "fish and out bait.” The little stream on the banks of which the president has on many a summer’s day waited for his cork to go down rises just across the road from Mr. Harrison’s home in Loudon county, Va., and eventually finds an outlet in the Potomac. The fish commissioner will put into the stream about 1,000 young brook trout. In addition to restocking the stream it will be cleaned out and deepened from source to mouth.
