AN ODD FIsH.-An old fish, the name of
which is not known, has just been found at St.
Mary, Lake Superior, in hollow log brought
to saw mill. 1t is about seven feet long,
thlrty-one inches in girth, and like the gar IN
Its tushes and the coat of mail, but with other
resemblances to the alligator and shark. In
his stomach were found twenty-nine copper
and silver coins, a good sized bowie knife and
scabbard, and revolving pistol with five bar
rels, all loaded and capped. He appeared as
ferocious as a tiger, biting and swapping at
everything within his reach, and such was the
power of his jaws and his triple rows of teeth,
that he bit the end off from plank two inches
thick by four wide. The person who furnishes
the account of the fish suggests that he belongs
to the genus filibuster.
