Caught a Live Pig at Sea.

One of the oddest things a fisherman ever caught was a young live pig, which was the haul made by Charles Johns, in the Delaware, near Bristol, Penna., a few days ago. He was fishing for plain fish when he saw the pig swimming down stream, evidently almost exhausted. Moved by an impulse of playfulness he threw his hook toward the pig. The pig made a desperate bite, took the hook in its mouth, and was helped and steered safely ashore by the fisherman.
