We had again a limited sup.ly of Wheat of home pit

to meet their present wants, the trade was in a very inactive
state, at about Monday's quotations. The show of Foreign
W:.eat being large, that article ruled very dull, and prey is
rates were with difficulty supported. The- best grindll
Barley moved off steadily, at late rates. In ocher kinds nest
to nothing was doing. Malt moved off steadily, at low rate,
but Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour, commanded scarcely la
attention.

SINGULAR MODE OF CATCHING`
ALLIGATORS.
The intrepid fisherman killed a sucking-pig, and rang
moderately thick stick through the entire length of 61.
body, which he cut open. To the middle of this stick 11°
attached an iron chain, eight or ten feet lonr, by meek'
of a cramp, and then further elongated the chain
fastening a curd to it. Armed with two strong barbed
iron lances, he went on board his light canoe, and rut'
nut a short distance from the shore, while we remained ill
the hut watching his proceedings with great interest en'
curiosity. At a venture he threw the pig into the river,'
and scarcely a minute had elapsed ere a pair of enorruotl.
widely-extended jaws rose above the surface and quickly
disappeared with the treacherous prize. The fishermen
took advantage of this moment to fasten the end of the
rope to his canoe, and also to attach his two lances by
long ropes to the boat. The voracious animal soon de-
voured his booty and drew the boat, which of course foi_
lowed his every movement, first to one side of the river
and then to the other, always seeking for the deepest
water. The rope being continually drawn tighter and
tighter, the alligator darted with great violence above
_
th surface, whereupon the negro vigorously thrust 0.10
lance at his head, and the monster again dived. Certain
of approaching victory, he stood calmly, with uplifted
lance, watching fir an opportunity of throwing it again
whenever his adversary might rise above the sal':
face. We were much astonished at the man's patient
assiduity, for there was once a pause of half an hour
during which the animal did not appear, but as he
gradually became weaker ho rose more frequently,
and at last always with his jaws wide open'
The numerous w.nunds lathered by the lance, en",
consequent loss or' blood, so completely ezdausted the
pour alligator that he had great diffieulty in drawing the
boat after him; but suddenly collecting all his remain-
ing strength, he puled the bob on one side with such
violence tlat the fi,herman fell into the water. In en
instant he dexterously flung himself into the boat, en'
continued to striae his antagonist with his harpoon'
The comic: last( d n( arty an hour and a half, when the
alligator yielded w,thout resistance to the superior forte
of the negro, who gradually brought his boat alongside
of us, and then suddenly leaping on shore fastened the
rope to a cocoa-palm in front of his hut. He then fear!
leosly approached the animal, which was n, arty covered
with water, and deprived him of all possibility of escape
by inflicting several deep uiids.Ltiofe
when the alligator was abandoned his fnaote.exTtinlici:
animal was above 20 feet lonz.—From a Correspondent.
