1779 , says time Richmond ReiLgidus Herald.
Ito assurea us that many or time leading eta-

witnesses to Ube fadt , 'ad' that io had it

. It isas concerning MartIn -1-iaVk4ds , mm
uncle of the doctor , This uncle wasa great
hummtcr and fiomermnn. In those days Janice
river was .wclh stbcked witit shad. In 'May
thmiy came up from the sea , and hundroth of
people fond of sport would assenibIi oil time
rocks in mid stream , along the falls , and
with dip nets would supply tnemnselvee with
all they wanted.
Our hero wao at imls post watchIng. for a
catch when along camimo an imnrnomio atut-
geon and stopped to rub his aIdes against the
rock , according to the habit of. st.urgoons ,
vhemi h4r. hawkins conciuaecl .thmat it he
could only got.hIaimands.-into.tha gills of
the monster ho might succeed in landing
him. Accordingly , he crept up to the side
of time rock , stooped over , and began rubbing
the sides of the fliii near the tail , and pro-
ecedod quietly uii toward the imcd , until at
last the gulls were reached. With a sudden
thru.t time hand wait sent home to the very
inner jaws of the fish , when IL gave a lurcim
that Jerked time fisherman 'from the rock. Ho
fell astride the fisim's back , hot his hands
were held as in a vise. For a moment all
was euprlse and interest , thep jotl fish and
rIder sank In the deep , roaring waters of the
flood.
The spectators were nglmast with fright.
They thought their friend was' lost. But ,
after a few mornemits time fish and fisherman
came to the surface about 100 yards down
the river. and remnalumed at time surface long
enctzglm to breathe , then sank agaimi , A
moment later they arosa again , and then
again and again , as the waters bore timorn
away. They ' passed under Mayo's bridge ,
half a mile from time tarLing volnt.

gave chase as best they could. In the
meantime timofisli was beimig exhausted. and
the rider had discovered it and bagan to trite

below thmeumi , 'ThIs lie 'reached successfully.
Amid imere , after a struggle , lie dragged imis

iimg Iticimmnond was then a small town , and
in a little timD , this stango adventure was
kumcwn to every inhabitant. An ovation fol-
howeLl , The fish , which measured ten feet
and weighed 300 pounds , was served up in
a manner to suit ovoy taste , and the night
that folloivcd this eplsomle was spemit 1mm
