For some time past fishermen who have been
fishing in Little River, Blount county, nine
miles from Knoxville. have suspected the
presence of some vicious animal in the water.
A number of trout lines have been bitten in
twain, and other damage done to fishing
apparatus. Mr.. l.. P. Speck, having lost a
line in this way, determined to catch the
monster. He prepared line of unusual length
and toughness, bated for the fish, and sue
ceeded in hooking him. 1t was with difficulty
that the animal was landed, being so vicious
that it snapped like dog at everything in its
reach. The monster proved to be fish of
uncommon strength belonging to species of
pike, sometimes known as mountain salmon.
This fish weighed nearly ten pounds and
measured two feet and seven inches in length.
The fish was as spiteful as shark and is sup
posed to have been an old maid or an old
bachelor on the wrong side of forty.-Rnor-

RUGBY AND THE RAILWAY.
To the Editor of the R,qbeian.

To the Editor of the Rugbeian.
Dear Sir,-I was much interested by
reading six numbers Of your paper,
dating consecutively from Sept. End,
which were kindly forwarded me by an
official of the Board of Aid. They were
the first had seen since July, 1881.
Time after time small notices of the
colony have appeared in the papers,
and they were never encouraging reports,
in fact, one or two went so far as to say
that the colony had broken up. But
the papers throw a different light on
the subject ; from them it can be seen
that you still exist and that you are
even thriving
Rugby has not answered expecta-
tions, nor has it made the progress
it ought to have made since it's
foundation. But it would be a rather
wild idea to expect much progress as
long as the town is 50 far from rail-
road; and it does not say much for the
enterprise of it's originators that the
whistle Of the engine and the changing
of the bell is not heard to-day in the
very centre of Rugby. A town in the
Northwest is founded just where a
line Of railway is expected to be made
and when the line strikes that town a
regular boom ensues, and the idea that
a town can be made success of with
out railroad facilities is never dreamt
Of
Now go ahead and do away with the
obstacles between Rugby and Sedge-
moor and have railway, if only it be
one like the narrow. gauge railroad of
which you speak in the issue of Sept.
9th. Rugby, two years old, ought to
have a population of 1000 or more,
and with railway, there is no reason
why by the time it is four years old,
there should not be treble that number.
There are numbers of English people in
this city and many are interested to
hear of Rugby; and one paper remarked
truly when it said "that the failure of
Rugby would be calamity to the
South, for if it succeeds other similar
ventures will follow, by which many
wildernesses will be populated"

A CHANCE YET FOR RUGBY

To the Editor Of the R,ybeian.
Draw from their dusty hiding places
the Bulletins of the ''Board of Aid to
Land Ownership, Limited" do not omit
the limited" it is significant and we
know the meaning of it now read in
them of the Boards estate of 300, 900
acres" and the bright days that would
come when those wilds were filled with
a busy wealth producing population,
and compare them with the first class
mortgage and the Manager who is not
allowed to manage, of the present, and
then say if it is not the most noted
recent instance of pompous promise and
puerile performance?
Whatever the Englisnmen may have
thought, the founder of Rugby had no
such foolishpess in his head. The one
reason for it's existence was that it
might serve as base of operations
toward the delopment of the country
beyond, and the idea of it as place
for health or pleasure seekers to spend
money in was Of minor consequence
That original plan is now in the way of
accomplishment. Shall Rugby range
itself with it, and so get the benefit of
the prosperity that will follow, or shall
it continue to be mere side track
leading no where and ending in a jump
ing off place.
Upon the answer to this question
depends the future Of Rugby, and the
way to ensure it's prosperity is not to
climb into the mauger and vociferate

Special to the R,ybeian.
Oct. l9.-Within this littleburg quiet
ness reigns supreme; we have no irregu-
larities to report and nature are in
harmony. The echoes Of the reverber-
ant forests, when the fast changing
leaves have found "their time to fall"
will soon, now, be awakened, and rude
Boreas will 60 headlong on as is his
winters won't. A general smile prevades
all faces, but what is the cause we can
scarcely say. Some attribute it to the
coming amongst us again of our genial
friend, S. H. Shapes, the Chancery
Court Clerk others say it is owing to
the cleansing and whitewashing of the
Courtyard fence, which, when COM
pleted, will give more homely and
pleasant appearance; again, some see
it, looking to the bright near future, in
the fact that Rugby and Wartburg are
in unison in every good work, and must
grow up together. Whatever promotes
the growth of one must enhance the
other. Wartburg being the county
seat, Rugby must at times unfurl her
banner here, and if we cherish an honest
pride in her emolument, it is because
we think she deserves it.
We hope there is nothing Chronic
in the uncertainty of our. Home
Guardian, but we feel like child that
wishes to do something naughty, and
keeps looking around, and over his
shoulder to see that his guardian does
see him commit the naughty act. Un-
certainty makes us bold. z.
