it seems, was caught in the Maumee river, with
a seine and took two horses and thirty fisher
men to draw it in. The Times says it was the

the end of its tail, % feet inches, and in cir

was feet Q inches. On opening it, it was
found to contain in its stomach two good sized
muscalonge, about half barrel of pickerel, to-
gether with a very respectable compliment OF
the smaller members of the fnny tribe. There
were also found in his insides two joints of stove

was SO badly injured short time since, by the
collusion of locomotives, near Latrobe, that he
is doing as well as could be expected. Reports
have obtained currency, that his leg would re-

Court, which recommended its session in Wash

re-hearing to Mrs. Gaines, widow of Gen. Gaines,

would have been probably the wealthiest per-
son in the United States. There have been
times, during the progress of the suit, when, it
is said, she might have compromised for half
million of dollars.

Cured on Wednesday, in the room occupied by
