How They Caught a Sword-Fish.

The Fall River (Mass.) Nevjs of the 23d ult. tells this story: “ Capt. Whitmore, of the schooner L. T. Whitmore, which arrived in this city yesterday from Florida, reports that one day during the passage, when apparently becalmed, he threw his log to see if he was making any headway. The log was one of the new patent kind. In the course of a few moments Capt. Whitmore took hold of the log-line to pull in the log, when to his astonishment he found he could not move it. Calling two or three men to his assistance, they succeeded in getting the log close up to the vessel, when to their astonishment they discovered that they had a large sword-fish in tow. It is supposed that he grabbed the log when it was first thrown overboard, and when in an upright position; that it became wedged in his mouth in some manner, and the more the fish tried to free himself the more did he become * snarled up’ in the log-line. However, another line was made fast to him, and the crew of 'the Whitmore finally got him on board. He weighed about 300 pounds. ” The Western Christian Advocate says that “ barbaric hate is Communism. It means man without a hope—a creature of despair—a people without religion—a world without a God.
