Ho waas that monlqu employed in emptving a tank, and in_catonivg the fish thav wero foft floundering when Lho water was drawn off. In his eagerness, he had oue under onch foot, oue in onoh hund, snd, to make sure of a Afch, ho triod to socure ono by taking its hoad boswoen bis front teoth ; but tho fsh was too quick for bim, aad, wrggling Lol (500 from tho toach, made its way into the pharyux, A flsh of the sumo sort and ulzo wag produced ; it was like s poreh, about 4 inchos loug, with a most formid- ablo dorsal flu, the spines of which, whon eract- od by botng pushed the wrong way, 8:00d out at lenst an inoh. A floger pasiod into the throat easily folt the fish, Horo was = very protty cassl—but a8 tho firat point was to enabla tho man to breathe, in loas time than it taltes mo to writs if, o bod was brought out into the voraudsh, and bo was laid upou it and tracheotomized.

Pull tho fisn out! any ono would 8ay ; but although 1t was oney to sielze tue tail, thero wore tha croct spiues of the fins, which would have Jacorated the parts paat recovory bad tho fruitleas attompt boen made. Then it was sugieated to push the fish down into tho stowach; Lut alag! it lay doubled up with its bead to the left, and this could not bo done. Thon, when this was ascertained, 1t was hoped that the hoad might by turned upwards with 8 binat hook, and so bo_draggoed ont, But the flah would not move. Boit was necessuyy 10 leave the puaticut for & few hours— lio waa broathing freoly, and nourishod with boef-ten enemsts. Next moroing it was found that the fish had bacowme docompoeed, and way euslly broken up Into & putrid pulp, somo of whinfl mado its wav into the trachea, whilst the spiuos_offerod the greatest obutaclo to suv ro- nioval by the mouth, In order to afford room for olonring tho throat, the wound made in tisclicotomy wae enlarged upwardu throngh the juuotion of the alm of tho thyroid; but tho putient wns very exhaustod, and diea boforo reliof could bo givou.
