A Rare Occurrence.


A remarkable haul of eels was made
the other day by Cosmos Eckenrode,
who was fishing along the Tulpehocken.
There is variety of eels known as the
tandem eel which isvery seldom found
in this State, though common in the
West. A popularity of this variety is
that they travel, when migrating, single
file, about six inches apart, and main
tain that distance exactly during the
time of their progress If ore of the
lot shoots ahead too rapidly the one fol-
lowing Immediately grasps him by the
tail, in order to drag him back to his
proper place in the line They appear
to have remarkable instinct for dis
tance, and the variation Of an inch will
cause the rear eel to exercise his au-
thority to put the brakes on the one
ahead.
While Mr. Eckenrode was fishing he
hooked one of the travellers, very re-
markable circumstance, as they seldo m
bite while migrating AS soon as be
had hooked it he, ofcourse, gave haul
OH the time, which caused this particu
lar eel to shoot ahead He was
Immediately grasped by the one follow
ilg, and as that one likewise shot ahead
the next one did the same SO that when
Mr.. Eckenrode began to.haul out lie
found solid rope of ees. Dropping
his rod and line he grasped the living
rope and began TO haul in hand over
hand He keep hauling in and piling
up the eels until he was utterly eX-
hausted, when he was obliged to stop
and cut the connection. He quickly
ran for assistance, and number of the
neighbors came to help him take care
of his rare catch. When they were all
gathered up and loaded on wagons it
was found that he had S75 pounds
About $50 worth were sent to the Read
ing market, and the rest was distributed
among his neighbors.
The news of his remarkable catch has
spread ali over the upper part of the
county, and a great many tisherm; n
have been endeayoring to repeat it, bt t
without success, since, according to
naturalists, an occurrence of this sort is
one of the rarest in ishing.-Re0ding
