on June Goth, in the Nisi Prius court,
Dublin, before the Lord Chief Justice and
a jury. in which the Crown proceeded by
criminal Information againt Mr.. Stand
ish O'Grady Hutchinson, of Castle
Tough, county Glare, for having refused
to act as high sheriff Of Queens County.
For the defendant it was stated that his
property in Queens County was only
valued at 94l2 a year, and as let to
tenants, and that, therefore, he was OF
possessed of lands sufficient to answer
the claims that might be made upon
him. The bulk of his property Was in
the county Tipperary, fer which county
he had no objection to serve. The jury
found that he had refused to act, but
disagreed on the question of sufficiently
of his lands, and we're discharged. On
June 30th, the attorney general obtnined

which the Lord Chief Justice will sit for

Catching a Big Shark.

was one of the crew of the British bark
Active, which was surveying the west coast
of Africa from Possession island to Cape
Cross We had been at work in Hottentot
bay, on the coast of Hottentot land for
three or four days, when monster shark
was seen cruising around the vessel We
had just finished dinner, and every.
body crowded to the port rail to get
sight of the big fish. We had men
aboard who had sailed every sea, but
no one had ever seen shark like this
He had come straight in from the ocean,
and he made three circles around the bark
and then took up position just off her
starboard quarter and only 10 feet away
as if to wait for something to happen. No
one put his length at less than 20 feet, and
his spread of jaws would have enabled him
to take in Il common -four barrel.

has ever seen IA shark out of water While
it is not much of "A trick to hook one, it is
great deal of trouble to get big fellow on

allow Il hook to be put out In this case
however, the fish was of such bulk that his
presence would be a menace to quarter
boat pulling about the bay, and the cap
tain ordered the second mate to superin-
tend his capture. A shark hook which
believe no draft horse could have broken
by steady pull was baited and flung over
on the opposite side. 1t had scarcely
touched the water when the shark sank
from sight, passed under the keel of the
bark, and next instant there was cry
that he had taken the hook. He started
straight out for sea as fast as he could 20,
and when brought up at the end of 200 feet
of line the "snub" shot him out of water
half his length.
1t took just SIS minutes to get the fish
alongside so that bowline could be slipped
down over his head. 1t took seven men to
play" him. A dozen times over he dragged
them six or eight feet along the deck as he
made Il rush, and several times he preached
his full length above the surface AS many
as Is of us lent hand to hoist him on
deck, and three or four men at once fell
upon him with sharp axes and made an
end of him. He measured 81 feet lacking
an inch. He had seven rows of teeth in his
jaws, and when we pried them open it was
seen that barrel had plenty of room be
tween them.
AS soon as the monster was dead two
men set to work to rip him open, and we
made some queer finds There were two
empty meat cans, a beer bottle, an old shoe

world am in I go home at 10 O'Clock
every night and remain half an hour,
sometimes longer. How do manage
it? Easily enough. At that hour my
wife goes into the sitting room, closes
the doors, places two easy chairs
vis-a-vis, sits down in one, closes her
eyes, and concentrates her thoughts
upon me. I go to my room at the
hotel, turn out the light, close my eyes,
concentrate my thoughts. upon my
home and especially upon my wife,
and presto! I occupy the easy chair
in our little sitting room directly in
front Of her. A perfectly Ineligible
conversation ensues between Us, al
though not a word is spoken. She tells
me how things are going on at home,
whether the children are well, about
her own health, which has been deli
