F. Bullock, and the reader will agree with us when he reads the following. Last week sometime Messrs Bird and Worley put out some set hooks in the river, tying them to overhanging lambs. by some means, one of the hooks caught to a limb about 8 feet under water and all efforts to unlodge it proved fruitless. Finally, Mr. bullock, who was assisting in taking in the hooks, said he could get it, and procuring a saw, immediately began to undress. The weather was warm, and of course, there was no danger in going into the water, at least Mr. bullock thought so. he dove to the bottom, carrying the saw with him, but he got the limb and hook. he made three dives before he accomplished his purpose, each time bringing up his saw. The strangest part about it was that the limb was sawed in only one place.
