FIGHT WITH A SHARK-A few days ago, as
one Of the fisherman OF Hunsfanton, Nor
folk, was employed catching crabs near the
shore Of that watering place, he observed
something OF a most formidable size approch
ing him in the water. The tide was reced
ing. and the man, who was without compan-
ions, was within fifty yards ofthe shore, but
much above the waist in sea. when nothing
daunted, he struck severe blow at his new
acquaietance, which he soon discovered to be
a shark \ regular combat ensued the man
aiming heavy blows at the head of the fish.
and the latter fighting with his tail, with
which he struck the fisherman two or three
times severely on the chest. The man for
tunately for himself, never lost his presence
of mind, or his strength and ultimately sue
ceeded in capturing the monster. The tide
continuing to e5b, the shark was left on drv
sands, where the old man was seen standing.
with much satisfaction, over his captured en-
envy. The shark measured nine feet inlength.
and was presumed to weigh about 80 stone.

In closing the first year of our labors
in Mineral Point, we should do injustice
to our feelings were we to let pass the OPP
portunity thus afforded, of expressing our
thanks for the patronage we have recev-
ed, as well as for the assistance rendered,
in commencing the publication of the
Tribune, We feel the more gateful, from
the fact that, notwithstanding we have
opposed the political views of many Of
our citizens, instances are not wanting to
satisfy Us that we have ever enjoyed their
friendship and best wishes, as well as a
liberal patronage. These manifestations
of friendship VIII ever be remembered
with pleasure, and we trust, stimulate US
to renewed eyertion in striving to render
The Tribune worthy of continuance OF
the patronage of all. With the best
wishes for an, (and $ old Zac" in partic-
ular) we wind up the first volume Of the
Tribune, hoping that those indebted to us
will step up TO the captains Office as
soon as convenient.

arranged, but the uncle became aware of
the plan, and while the lover and his
friends were lowering about the house.

Mr.. James Brady, who reside few miles

distance from home, the vital spark having
yielded to the stubborn will Of the tyrant-
king Alcohol. Mr.. Brady was about so years
of age, and has a left a respectable family to
mourn his his loss. We hope this event may
arouse the friends of Temperance to renewed
exertion. not only to reclaim the inebriate,
but to convince the dealer in intoxicating
drinks that honor, justice, and love Of human
ity demand an abandonment of the traffic, and
that higher motives than love of gain 10 the
