SALEM, August 3.-Yesterday at seven
O'Clock, a. Nj. Mr.. Benjamin Stone, liv-
lnS at Marblehead Neck, saw from his
farm, near Inner Pig Rock, and moi more
tlian 200 yards tlon, the beach, something
That lac took Tor number of porpuises,
following one after another. The novelty
eXclled his attention, when The whole i'm
mediaieiy disappeared, aud in less than "A
minute came up together again: he now
discovered IL 10 be an animal Of an extra
ordinary length he had an opportunity
OF viewing him from That time until about
O'Clock, part OfiIe lime with Mr.. John
Hathaway, of hJarblehead farms. The
creature appeared 10 move very slow, aud
cIrcLIarly, with his head partly under wa
Ter; aud al times Mr.. II. thinks lie could
see about twenty proiuberances. Mr. II.
at first as he expresses himself, was lit
lie Futtered. Al hall past IL O'Clock, the
Hon. Wn. Read, Mr.. John Humphreys,
and several other gentlemen of respecia
billy, saw distinctly, the same animal,
through glass, lying west of Tmker's
Island, and distinctly noticed the protu-
berances OH his back, so often described /:
from the rlppIes in the water, his length
appeared TO he at least 100 feet.
lie was also seen by several men on
Jiuker's Island, who communicated the
Sole TO Mr.. Stone. Several boats and
s;JOps being becalmed near, must also
have seen tile same object. All the time
OF his being near the beach, the wafer
was entirely unruit'ed, and alr. s. says lac
could have seen a tom twice the distance.
