Diving for Sturgeon.

Quite a novel mode of catching fish was
invented, or at least practiced, by youth
in Brownstown, near the mouth of the
creek, one day last week. He was, it
seems, bathing, or about to bathe, when he
perceived in the water, little way beyond
him, fish of unusually large proportions,
swimming along within very short dis
tance of the bank, and rapidly approach
ing him. He had not previously expected
to indulge in the pleasing sport of angling
for any of the finny tribe, and had not
therefore provided himself with the necess-
ary equipments. But as he saw the mag
niticent specimen of the sturgeon species,
so near and yet so far-apparently-he de-
termined to make one effort to secure the
"monarch of the lakes" As the stranger
approached the bank on which Clark (the
name of the bather) was standing, the
latter prepared to dive. and before the stur-
geon was quite opposite his diving place
the youth gave leap, a plunge, and dived
beneath the water, and before the astonish-
ed sturgeon could either escape or recover
from the CONSERVATION caused by the sud-
den disturbance of the waters, he was a
prisoner in the arms of the youth, who
could with difficulty retain his hold of his
slippery customer. The struggles of the
sturgeon were pertinaciOus, and nearly
crowned with victory; but by the aid of a
companion he was laid painting on the
bank, a proof of the triumph of muscle.
After resting awhile from the fatigue
caused by the combat under water, Clark,
aided by his friend, carried the sturgeon
home, where it was weighed, turning the
scale at Just seventy pounds. Clark is only
about fifteen years of age, yet he accom-
plished what very few would have the
audacity to try, and naturally felt some
what elated at the result of his experiment
in new branch of fishing. g.-Detroit Post.
