Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     On Sunday afternoon, a monstrous catfish weighing 40 pounds, was caught on board the steam-boat Enterprize; when taken on deck, a bunch of tape worms some thousands in number came from his mouth-on opening his maw the following articles were found in his belly. The maw of a large fish full of provisions, the claw of a hawk, one pound salt beef, the jaw-bone of a hog, the teeth of which were partly digested, a lightwood knot, and about a pound of cornbread besides several rib bones of a hog; this is a fact that can be attested by the Captain and mate of the Boat, and by a gentleman of high respectability of this city.
