buy a cook store. Upon examining a
Dumber of different patterns he concluded

'With a poipoi4e, In 'a
letter from St.
'John's River. Florida, he says : " I will. ,
write you of my, last struggle with a large
porpoise. Yesterday, as I was rowing up
in what we call the witchtide,' this mon
,ster came running between me and the
bluff. l .i:truck-him on the head with-my
'oar. lle gave a sudden .dart and went
ashore like Jersey lightning, and , I went
. alzfrost as quickly after him. Then he
eit for the _deep .water wain, but
chanced to open his huge mouth. This
was my chance, and I rammed the oar in
his mouth and down" his. throat. Then
ratite a tussle ; I e pulled and I pried.'Af
ter a long struggle he quica;l down. 1
can for the boat and got my largest
:sword; . With it I gave hitu l a gash in the
throat that made him wild with pain.
After a while I got a chanc.”o make:him
fast to the boat with a line around his
tail. A. mail calm to my assistance and
we pounded him i with clubs until he was
dead. We waited for the next tide, as it
was haul wor to tow a dead porpoise. Ile•
doesn't float when dead. By hard work
we got him ashore and to camp. , Then
we measured him.' Ile was nine feet ten
inches long, two feet thiee inches in
di
ameter, and would_rsobably have weigh
ed nitue than siklitindred pounds."
• Anorr siz ”qtris ago, Mr. Libby. of
'Burton, Maine, Itrit down to th e e pool
and went out fishing with a party. Soon
after they .startett be began to grow
hoarse and be slightly pressed for breath,
but he thought it:Was caused by damp
ness and fog.that was rising from the wa
ter. Be bteadily grew worse until he
could hardly whisper. About noon the
Party landed on one of the islands to cook
their'fish and eat their dinner, and ,Mr.
Libby, who was standiu.g . , be' side the tire,
found himself unable to sßsk. The par
ty went - bome next day, deeply deploring
the condition of their , friend, who showed
no signs of improvement. . For three
years Mr. Libby remained,, in a mute
state, communicating to hbt" friends by
the use of a slate. Mr. Libby . was pre
. railed upon to go down to tti pool again,
fishing, and the party with him lauded on
the island• where three years before ho

and pt:Oceedsd to dinner, and as Mr. Lib

- suddenly_ slipped on a small stone and fell
on biti'•=side. When he arose be found
himself able to speak as well u ever he
