Experience in Shark Catching-Exc
Adventures with the Sea-tiger.


4 correspondent of the Baltimore Amer
ieaa, writing from Cobbs Island Va, gives
his recent "sharking' experience thereabout
in this manner. He says ..
During my visit to this pleasant place, I
made one of party who determined TO seek
larger game than even a strong pulling
sheep s-head fish. Nothing less than the cap
tpfe OF shark would satisfy us. Engaging
the services Of two experienced fishermen,
we anchored our boat in channel some
sixty feet deep. The shark lines were not
long out before gentleman from Richmond
announced, not only orally, but by being
drawn overheard, that he had hooked a fish
and needed assistance Mr. Cobb, a COM
papion, quietly stood by and let the gentle
man do the work of pulling the 6sh to the
surface, when he saw that they had hooked
monster, which came up tail foremost, and
would soon have stove the boat had not Mr.
Cobb's knowledge Of the habits of the animal
suggested great prudence in this case.
The gentlemen played" with the shark
for some fifteen minutes-if undergoing the
hardest labor they ever encountered could be
called "playing Mr.. Cobb took a
favorable opportunity TO thrust a spear in the
lungs of the fierce sea tiger. AT the first
touch of the weapon, the lashing of the sea
with the powerful tail of the fish filed the
air with spray, and the fish darted to the
bottom, soon TO be pulled again TO the surface
for another blow from the lance.
About forty stabs rendered the shark sufi-
eiently quiet 70 allow himself to be lashed
alongside the boat, and the hook to be cui
from his mouth, an operation requiring some
care and skill. Not content with this capture
we soon took another, but much smaller
one-say about six feet long-which gave vi
comparatively but little trouble. The large
shark, (of the species usually termed man.
eaterl when hauled upon the shore by the
united efforts Of eight men, was found Ia
measure twelve feet in length. His body
was as large round as a -four barrel, and bis
jaws opened twenty-one inches across being
Of sufficient capacity to take in easily a large

We alluded few days ago to "the great gathering
for the Union" held by the friends Of Bell and Everett at
Salisbury, in the State of North Carolina Among the
eloquent speeches delivered that occasion by
the Hon. William A. Graham, in the course Of which be
paid the following just trbTte to the commanding and
the time conservative national position occupied
by the great States of Virginia. North Carolina, Ken
lucky and Tennessee. The distinction attributed TO
them by Henry Clay has been well by the part they
have played every critical period in civil history
aud that distinction will never be forfeited
under any conjecture. We quote from Mr.. Grahams
speech as follows:
During the term Of my service in the Senate Of the
United States (said Mr. G enjoyed the society of Hon.
Henry Clay much young, inexperienced politician
can be supposed enjoy that OF old and experienced
one. recollect that he said to occasion =

Union through all future time. They North Carolina
Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. need not remind
you, my countrymen that indebted to Virginia
for many, very many benefits. What did Virginia do
about year ago, during the Brown foray? She stood
firm and true the very embodiment of Justice, and re-
PEELED the invaders from her soil Shortly afterwards,
when delegates sent to tell her row is the time
to secede she did not in the slightest degree yield to
their proposition, but replied the Union good enough

exposed the plot and plans of the seceders as foreshad
owed BY Yancey in 49, and carried out TO the letter at
Charleston In concluding, he referred to the singular
propositions of Ex-Gov. Wise as the final act in the
drama He closed by eloquent appeal in behalf OF
the Union.
