THE GAZETTE.
TUESDAY EVENING, JULY Is.
The SAW FIsH.-A large saw fish was latel

The SAW F1sH.-A large saw fish was lately
captured off Charleston, and IS now on eSnlDltion
in that CITY. This fish iscalled the saw fish from
q long saw-like bone projecting in a straight.
line from the snout, continuous to the axis OF
the BODY. The saw, in this instance IS three
feet and half long, and from three to tour
inches wide, the sides lined at regular intervals
of about an inch with sharp pointed teeth
somewhat resembling the larger teeth OF the
shark. The fish is of immense propotlons' eyes
unusually large for fish; lateral, dorsal al and
caudsl fms, all unusually solid and large. Inc
latter in size, as well 80 IN structure, resembles
the rudder of a large yawl. The mouth,
situated under the saw, and over foot IN the
rear Of its base, is q good large mouth-large
enough for the head Of the biggest colored baby
found anywhere this side Of Senegambla.
There are no teeth. The saw fish lives by
suction as the fishermen express it. The
gums of course, are very hard. From a
membrane in its stomach, or IN the vicinity
of that yiscus, was taken two bucketsfui OF milk,
or what scenes such to the fishermen. They
say it looked like it, and smellcd like it. They
we're afraid to taste it. Also In another part
of the entrails were found large number OF
eggs, of all sizes, from that of marble to that
of ball the size of a pound ofbutter, looking
like butter, and, upon being cut, having the
consistency of butter.
THE PROBLEM SoLvED.-A writer in the
Richmond Dispatch solves the problem about
the will and the birth of the twins, which will
remembered, VIZ The husband intended the
son should have double the amount of the moth
err and the mother double the amount Of the
daughter. Although there are both son and
daughter, the case stands the same. Wewill
say then, his estate is worth 1851. In order
to carry out the above provisions of his will, the
daughter would receive one seventh Of the es-
tate, which is $l,363; the mother would re-
ceiye twice the amount Of the daughter, or g.
.26; the son four times the amount OF the
daughter or double the mothers. s5,453
