A Fish story.

A friend of ours tells how, being at tht
wharfboat the other day, to learn what the
prospect might be for an opening of the
fishing season, and, a number of those who
follow the ''calm, quiet, innocent recrea-
tion" of angling and hunting, being present
conversation naturally took a fishy turn
and stories innumerable of exploits and
successes with hook and line were told.
4 At theconcIusion of some narration which
demanded an extra allowance of credulity
on the part of the listeners, Capt. G. allowed
that that WASH 'tanything to what happened
him and his friend Capt. G. one day. They
were, he said, going down the river in a
cIinker boat tos shoot ducks. When approach
ing the mouth of Red river, a large duck
was observed sitting on the end of n stake
"sticking out of the water" Capt. C. drew
up his gun to fire at the duck. Just as his
finger pressed the trigger, a "sockdolager" of
catfish leaped from the water, directly in
line with the shooter and the duck on the
stake, and both fish and duck were killed
by the shot.
This was unanimously conceded to be a
very curious occurrence, but it was sug-
gested-of course by one who had read the
story of the horse pulling the plug out of
the barrel in order that he might slake his
thirst with the water therein-that the fish
and-duck affair might have been still more
remarkable, as, for instance:
If the catfish had been sticking out of the
water, with Capt. G. sitting on his tail, and,
just as the duck pulled the trigger Capt. C.
had bobbed up between, and both been
killed. Or,
If Capt. q. had been sticking out of the
water, with the boat sitting on the top OF
his head, and the catfish had fired just as
the gun leaped out of the river. Or,
If the stake had bobbed up and taken aim
with the catfish while Capt. &. was sitting
on the top Of the duck. Or,
If Capt. G. had blazed away with the boat
at Capt. c., while the latter was sitting on
the muzzle OF the gun, as the duck just rose
from the water. Or,
Ifthe boat had been sitting on the stake,
and the catfish had fired off Capt. G. at it, at
the moment Capt. C. stuck his little head
out ofthe water. Or,
If the catfish had been rowing Captains G.
and G. down the duck, and the river had
jumped out of the water when the boat was
about to let go with the stake. Or,
But here Capt. g.. broke in with the de
mand, "What re We givin' u.s. The story
told about shooting the catfish and the duck
is true. can prove it. Ask Capt. G."
Capt. c., on being appealed to, also insisted
upon the entire reliability of the narrative,
and said, ASK Capt. G.v'
