hitch his horse to the delvery-wagon IN

animal. hitherto of gentle disposition and
free from tricks, showed signs of anger
when led from the barn. Suddenly throw

five miles from the shore and had 200
feet of net ont. The shark ram
int" the net and got tangled. Fight
ing %furi"nsly to get free, the fish only
wrapped himself tighter in the net.
The fishermen let him alone until he
had drowned himself, and then, with
the assistance Of seven boats, pulled
him int" the bay, where he how lies,
near the wharf. The net was dam
aged to the extent Of twenty dollars,
but the men sold the shark to Perez
Brothers, 40 they lost nothing by it.
The basking sharks are not man-ent-

they gone into the machine, there
would have been II lively blaze.
Speaking Of this incident, IL man who
has tended a picker for several years
said that the things which come ont
of a cotton bale and evidently grow
on bushes would astonish one One
day he heard something grind inside
the picker, aud stopping the machine
found IL silver spoon. Lizards and

false teeth, small coins, knives, to-
bacco and occasionally articles OF
more value have been found. These
things undoubtedly get inside the
bales a~ccidently. but there arc other
thing. which evidently get inside in
accordance with il fixed purpose, and
by strange condolences they are found
to weigh more than cotton, and not
to be worth as much per pound on the
market. Sand, scrap iron, and dir,
are often foInd wrapped inside of Il
cotton bale for Il ballast.
