 Great Fishing.-A striped Bass weighing forty pounds was taken day before yesterday, by colored servant living with Benjamin BaiIy. Esq. on the banks of the Harlaesa rir- CT, a little south of the Bridge. The 6sh was discovered by the man from ths eDd of inc dock, which projected some distance int0the river. At times he would sail gently along mast the dock into quite shOal water, but how to capture him was the questions. No net. nor hook and bait was at hand, and as the golden opportunity might not last long, our hero quickly resolved to encounter him single handed in his native element, and af favor able moment he leapt from the dock directly upon his back. The affrishted fsh dar,ed from under him as though shark was in pursuit. and as luck would have it, took di- rection for the shore. and ran up nearly high and dry into the mud. Before he could. get fairly a6oat again and have a plenty of sea room to make his escape, the colorrd man seized him by the gilIs, dragged him up on the beach, and secured his prize.-N.Y Psst.
