Mr. RUDE Long. the noted hunter of
Marion county, while fishing at Lake
George a few days since, discovered a
huge alligator lying on the bottom of the
lake in about three feet of water, Wad-
ing ashore, he secured an old boat mast
lying on the beach and going back to
where the alligator was. he disturbed his
gatorship, and as he came to the surface
he gave the old fellow n terrible blow on
the head and started him for the shore.
He followed the gator out on the sand
and getting in good blow with his
piece of mast, dispatched the saurian in
short order. On measuring the alliga

piled at all times with the best fish and
game that can be secured from the wa

how to secure the best of everything of
this kind, and a meal at his house will
soon be one of the luxuries of Florida.
