Fishing Ertraordinary.-A few days ago, the Isle of Tree was visited by a shoal of whales, which were no sooner observed, then several boats put out to sea to surround .inem The 'sleaderso were shaving creek, when a native, Mir. D. Mclean, who chanced to be riding by, jumped off his horse, taking with him the bridle and his trusty dirk. Itis well known, that if one whale bleeds, and IS stranded, the rest of the shoal, by some ia tality, follow, and are easily secured Mr. Mclean, seeing the leader quite close, jumped upon its back, and stabbed it in the belly, The moment the monster took into the saline element, it turned belly up. Donald put his bridle about it's tail, and swan with it to an adjacent boat! In this manner the unequal fight was carried on for about an hour, when Mr. Mclean, after having secured eleven

 whales, felt exhausted, and had to give up tine contest. DamfrteS Courier.
