FISHING ExTRAORDINARY.—One of the most ex-
traordinary feats in the annals of angling was.achieved last
week by the Rev. John Morgan, of Llanrhaiadr Dyffryn
Clwyd. While fishing in the well-known salmon pool below
Glan-y-Wern, Mr. Morgan observed a fish of extraordinary
size making several leaps. After a few unsuccessful throws,
the Rev. Gentleman succeeded in hooking a salmon, and
after an hour's play he was brought close to land; such,
however, was his strength and the violence of his struggles,
that a landing net was necessary to insure his capture. He
proved to be of the extraordinary weight of 231 b. 7oz. The
Rev. Gentleman, with his well-known liberality, divided his
noble prize amongst the poor at the almshouses, at Llanr-
hatadr who
heir of course had good reason to rejoice at the
Ches suc-
cess of worthy pastor'B pi4cdprigl euterpriao.--ter
