FISHERMAN on the straits, says The
Benicia (Cal.) New Era, after having
hauled most of his net into the boat,
found some difficulty in getting in the
remainder. Upon investigation he
found that an enormous shark had
swallowed four or five fathoms of it,
with the corks, leads, and three salmon
which it contained. After n hard iight
the monster was dispatched and towed
to shore, and after being dissected the
net and fish were taken from him.
There was also found within his cavern

have taken place in this district, they want
information as to what kinds were grown

ment of the government in 1900,
and where specimens of these can now
be examined, as also any rare or

public grounds, but removed during the ex-
tension of public buildings or other improve
