QUITE FIsHY.-A cat fish was caught
on Saturday from the Mississippi river
that weighed one hundred and thirty
seven pounds. The most remarkable
thing was that this same fish contained,
in his stomach, cannon ball weighing
six pounds, that evidently showed had
been there for a long while. The ball
was nicely inclosed in thin sack OF
membrain, thrown round it by nature,
which, no doubt, prevented the iron from
ipjuring the fish. Various speculations
are rife about the matter. But most
people believe it to be gunboat fish, one
that followed 10 the wake of the vessels
of war during the late difficulty, and
picked up everything that was thrown or
shot from the boats. 1t is indeed re-
markabls.
