Show A Domesticated Perch. Mr. Joseph tiproula, near Mendona, has a very large black perch in hia spring, and which he has had in there for five years. He can go to the water's edgo, pick it up, rub it, feed it, and play with it, all of which it aeema to enjoy as would a dog, horse or other animal. We tried it, and it waa as playful with us as with Mr. Hprouls. He caught it five years ago out of the North Fork of Holston with a hook, and put it in his Hpring, and has kept it there safely and made a special pet of it ever since. It is about twenty inches long and four to six wide. Arlington (Va.) Virginian. |
