been the ''fish fry" there, whole families
frequently going to make a pleasant day
of it.
On one occasion, two or three negroes
were quietly angling there, relishing the
sport as keenly as old Izaak Walton could
have done had be been present, when, all
OF sudden, . great commotion was OBJ
served in the middle Of the lake. Upon
closer observation, it was observed that
an alligator and gar, both of large size,
were engaged in deadly conflict. At
times, they would rise tO the surface, and
by their fearful strife produce q great
noise and violently agitate . large Dor
tlon of the surface Of the lake. Then the
combatants would suddenly sink, and for
moment all was tranquil. But this
was only for brief space; for they would
again rise, the gar fast hold of the fore
leg OF his adversary, chewing and "mom-
licking" equal to the feat of q real biting
and gouging bully. The alligator tried
the same game, but the skin of the gar
was too hard and smooth for his blunt
teeth to hold on.

ton, and fairly made the lake boil. The
contest became more and more exciting;
the darkeys dropped their fishing.rods.
and looked on in wrapt wonder. sLooky
dar, Sambo, fore God all de fish and gar
and alligator are dar barring witness to
dis awful fight"-and sure enough the
surface for a wide space around was cov-
cred with every species of fish and num-
Der Of alligators, all seemingly attracted
by the noise made by the combatants
and spell-bound in contemplating the
conflict. Suddenly the belligerents
plunged beneath the surface, and within
few moments the late scene of strife
was hushed and quiet-they and the vast
concourse of the inny tribe having sunk
from observation, and night rapidly
closed over the dreadful strife.
Early next morning q party of gentle
men, accompanied by the negroes, Wis.
tied the lake to ascertain the result of the
battle. MIR. Gar was nowhere to be
found, but after little dragging with
hooks the alligator was brought up from
the bottom, "dead as mackerel'-hls
throat completely cut, and the fore feet
terribly "chawed." These facts are
vouched for by some of the most re-
spectacle gentlemen in Clarke. Those
who have seen the alligator gar can readi-
ly understand how, with its long Jaws
and sharp teeth, it could cut the throat
OF an alligator, and with other psculiari-
ties make very ugly customer for the
most powerful alligator.-Mobile Tn
