I saw the fish, I took his dimensions by actual measurement and I saw the liver. In the annals of Cape Cod, published by Rev. Mr, Freeman in 1863, he mentions that in 1803 Province-town had a regulation relating; to the carcasses of whales, sharks, horse mackerel, etc, which required that they be towed below low-water mark, which would indicate that these marine animals were so common as to be in some degree offensive in warm weather. Many of them were captured for their oiL Rig-lit whales yielded twenty, forty, eighty and sometimes one hundred barrels; humpbacks, fifteen to twenty barrels; grampus, one, two or three; blackfish, one barrel; sharks, from one gallon to seven or eight barrels; porpoise, two gallons, and a boatload of dogfish yielded about one barrel of oiL Now, my big fish was called a shark, though he was not of the man-eating or shovel-nosed variety. N.

E. Atwood, a distinguished and practical ichthyologist of Provincetown, pronounced the fish a liver shark or sea elephant, and considered it rare. The fish was almost entirely white, and as handsome in form as a mackerel. He was caught in 1862, inside of what is called Long Point, forming an outer boundary of Prov-i rice town's beautiful harbor. The fishermen had spread their seines there for mackerel, and this big fish had got entangled in them all about him so that he was easily pulled to the shore, where the tide left him high and dry.

Being at that time engaged in business in Provincetown I was invited to visit the monster and see him cut up for the purpose of extracting his liver. By the way, all the oil of a shark is in his liver, while that of a whale, of course, is in his flesh or blubber. I took a rule and measured this shark, and found his length to be just thirty-one feet; the breadth of his tail was seven feet and his circumference in the thickest part sixteen feet. I have stated that the liver of this shark weighed two tons, and this is how it was determined: The liver was cut in pieces and pitched into a dory; the dory carried a ton and a half in weight besides the. rower, as has been proved, bringing her down to her upper streak; the dory was twice loaded deep with this liver, and so the fishermen thought the weight was nearly three tons, but to be within bounds I concluded to call it two tons and it is so recorded in this veracious chronicle.

After the oil had been fried out I found that it made seven barrels "full and was worth at that time two hun dred dollars.

A land buyer from Ohio came in Monday and is looking at several larms with the view to buying near Mayfield. There is considerable stir in the land business in this section and while none of it is selling at "boom" prices yet it is selling at prices which indicate a healthy growtn. The grain business seems to be more quiet than during any previous year for several. There seem to be a disposition upon the part of farmers to hold their wheat for better prices. It does look hard for the farmer to take 50 cents iht bushel for wheat and pay the sawe price for flour as when wheat was selling at from 70 to 80 cents per bushel.

Plaintiff, The social given Monday evening at the Country Towns Being Depleted to Fill the Incessant Demand. In 1890 more than 18,000,000 of the people of the United States lived in cities which had a population of over 8,000. This advance in city development is said by the New York Ledger to be simply phenomenal. The history of mankind presents no parallel. The primeval forests and prairies of forty years ago are now crowded with rapidly progressing centers, filled with the last appliances of an age of invention.

To every citizen the administration of his city government is a question of first rate importance. Nearly all his taxation flows into that municipal treasury, and from it comes the school where he educates his family; the sanitation which protects his home from disease; the virtue or vice which makes his dwelling place a heaven or a helL These statements are but not too strong. The welfare of twenty millions of Americans demands more than partial treatment and cannot be expressed by mere commonplace truisms. A city government is not chosen to-day as a specific corporation constituted for a specific purpose. Probably in the 450 cities of the United States the majority of the officers are elected on outside issues, and not always because of their fitness to manage the peculiar interests committed to their charge.

And here is the tap-root of many evils, for politics are the concern of the nation far more than any city government can possibly be. They have a supreme place, but that gives them no right to monopolize every other. Men should be trained to municipal affairs as a distinct profession, as they are in Germany. The expenditure of money is vast. During the fiscal year of 1891-2 the taxation in one of our great cities amounted to fifty-nine dollars per head for every man, woman and child contained, therein.

These public funds should not be submitted to the caprice of professional politicians. Rather should the ends for which they are raised be more completely answered by a better, purer government of the twenty millions, nearly one-third of our total population, concerned in this vital question. Our country towns are giving up the majority of their youth to the city's incessant demand. The next century will see New York the largest emporium in the world, and many sister rivals scattered all over our territory. In view of these facts, we pronounce this question of city government a burning one; and if there could be any other with more far-reaching and imperative issues to our national life we declare we should like to have it named.
