In making a last haul for tbe day tbey found what wa ropposed to be a shark bead beoocne entangled in tbe bag of the net The creatu-r, whatever it was, made mighty struggles to escape, but Uie net paralized lis efforts, and It was Anally , strangled in shallow water. Hare, an feu ting a good took at tha stranger. It was found to be a Urge saw fish. It proved e ' lucky catch, notwithstanding tlie almost total destruction of tbe aelne. Securing tbe mooster on tbe beach until Saturday morning It was towed around Cape Msy Point lo this city and offered lev sale. I Our enterprising townsman Mr. Victor , Dm it* bought it for »100.

After being safely raised to II* pier ex- . perii-ooed bands disemboweled it and pickled it In a tank which had bren built expressly for lite purpose. TWe dlmen sioos of ibe fish are : Length, 18 feel and 8 inches; length of Saw, 8 feet and 6 Inches ; weight, about 1800 pounds We give a brief description of the creature's natural characteristics It ir of tbe genus j'l siffs. of a type of family between the sharks and rays, though generally ranked with the latter. It has tl* rounded and elongated form of tbe shark with the mouth and *111. otminra of the brntral surface as ie ray*, i Its distinguishing feature is tbe king flattened, oarI row and straight soon', set no tbe side* . with teeth or strong booy aplnea. f.mning , a double edged saw-like srospno, whence !

Fur bait, peelera. rlimi, hard and soft crabs, fiddlers ii and manna-noaea. were taken on board, t After a safe embarkation the main bmoe 1 was spliced and all sail made for the fish, t ing grounds. Tbe pasmge out was be- li gulled in talking of tbe kind of flab to te and bets marie as to wboahould catch I tbe most. After the ground was rue bed < and tbe klllkk let g\ preparations for « fishing began In good earnest. Each of c the party balled hts book at tbe same ■ time, and with a aancerted thud tbey c settled to ibe bottom. After hauling is their lines and rebuking their hooka ' several limes a bile was felt by each mem- 1 ber of tbe party, and a band-orcr-hand ' pull made for Uw other end of tbo Jioea. 1 ' Ose brought to tbe surface a small gud- ■ geno, another a Utile mlt water "oauy."
