The long frost of last winter has proved very destructive to pond-fish the kingdom over, except in those pools & lakes thro’ which passed a constant current of water: nor did the expedient of breaking holes in the ice avail.  Mr Barker, who has been writing an account of the late frost, thinks that it did mischief.  A current of water introduces a constant current of fresh air, which refreshes continually the air of the pools & ponds, & renders it fit for respiration.
