He said thatwhen near Knightstown a short time ago, he saw a crane dive down into a pond and seize a fish, which he swallowed and flew off, and after rising to a considerable height in tho air all at once the crane blew up with a loud report, flying into a thousand pieces, and descending in a shower of flesh and feathers, while the fish dropped unharmed into the water and sailed off as lively as ever. The fish, he said, was one of a lot imported from the Old Country, and can swell themselves up into a ball, and the fish swallowed by the crane, brought it’s power to swell up into play, to the destruction of the crane.
