A BIG CAT-FIsH.-Thc St Joseph { No, }
Evening West gives the following description
of the largest catfish ever taken thus Far
up in the Big Muddy:
"He measures seven feet eight inches from
his nose to the tip Of his .ai, and is four feet
and half around the body. His strength
was proiigious; it required a winllass, run by
horse power, to draw him from his element,
and it took two hours and a half to do il.
His gross weight is four hundred pounds and
fraction. 1t is impossible to say how old
he is, though he looks as though he had
lived thousand years, or thereabout. Some
think it is the identical cat taken into the ark
by Captain Noah"

\ CrRrors Discovery. has lately been
found in the township Of Greenbush, a Ratchet
firmly embodied ia the heart Of white oak tree.
The tree was perfectly sound, and nothing was
noticeable Indicating that such a thing was en-
bcdled therein, until II was struck upon by the
axe. Upon examination. twas asccrtaine,l that
the Ratchet stuck there when the tree had about
thirty years growth, and that it had remained
there more than two centuries, as more than two
hundred years growth was counted outside of
where the Ratchet lay. We think that must be
the identical Ratchet with which the "wOodman"
