JnhrisUy,
Devil Fish.
Whilst Judge Jn'o. L. Harris was
fishing last Week at Dart’s Landing,
he hooked one of those hideous mon
sters known as "devil fish.” He de
scribes it as being about five feet in
length and about six feet from tip to
tip, with great huge eyes resembling
goggles, protn.di.tg out of its head.
Its tail about four feet long and two
inches in;, diameter at the body and
tapering to a point. Its arms much
like its tail, an I its enti e body striped
• across wiih different dolors.. The
Judge was fishing forsheepheud when
the ugly monster seized his line and
.started off.- The sudden jerk given
when t te line-became taut so fright
ened the creature that it sprang at
least fo ir feet out of the water into
the air, giving Judge Harris a.fair-
view of its proportions. Wo iieed,noi
add that the fislrng line was snapped
as easily as. a thread and Mr. “Devil ,
Fish” disappeared from view ’nealh
the briny waters of Wilson’s Creek.
The impression made on the mind of
our worthy Judge must have been
strong and lasting, for he obs< r/ed,
after describing the entire scene, to
one of our city past< rs, “Sir, if you
had seen that monster as I. beheld
it, you would firid’no trouble pext Sun j
day in portraying the ‘Old Fellow*
in such glowing colors, as to arougq
the hardest sinner.'” . . rJ j
Since, writing the aboye we have!
been informed by Mr. Cooper that 5
,ii s monster is not a d'lvil fishbut.u^. j

A, Big Day.
■ '! 01
Ju’y 9th was indeed a big day for
Brunswick. •, jWofk. whs suspended and
; our peoplo, together with a large ex
cursion party from along the line of
theB. & A. B. B., entered upon.the.
pleasures of the day determined.upon,
a good time. First on the list was the ;
race In-tween the Henrietta, the Bet- f ,
sey and the' June L., os published in
former issue. The race was an excit- £
ing oue, indeed, to many, hut espe
cially so to those who had “planked
their money.” The trip arouud the
marsh island (7 miles) was made by
the Henrietta in ono hour and nine
minutes, and by the Betsey in one
hour, nine minutes and thirty seconds
The Jane L. abandoned the race before
she reached the judges’ stand, conse
quently her time was not taken.
The next eventof the day wus the
Grand Parade through our streets, of
the Oceanic Fire Company, which, to
our simple mind, was a nobler sight,
by far, than all the boat races this side
of next January. Its presence speaks
.volumes for the safety of our prop
erty. We looked with'pride upon the
Oceaniesas they moved along with
engine all decorated. They are in
deed a fine body of men, and should
have all the encouragement they need,
not only from our City Fathers, but
from our citizens, whose property
they stand ready to protect at all haz-
i.rds. The appeal of the Foreman
for material aid was warm and earnest.
We involuntarily felt for oar old pock
et-book, but alas! to our sorrow, re*
membered we were an editor. Never
mind, Oceanics, we “made a resolu
tion.”
Of the Ball, the last—and to many
the greatest event of the day—we are
unable to say much, from the foot that
we were not present. We learn, how
ever, that it proved a success, and
netted the Company $100. Long
lire the Oceanics!
