The Litchfield County post., 1827-02-02

Enthusiastically received by the people, and
returned the expression of their loyalty by
the most cordial manifestation of his pleas
ure in again being among them; the whole
Imperial family present formed a group of
not less than ten or twelve persons. Thew
have been assembled from Italy and Hun
gary on matters of great Importance to
the amily-among other things, to move
Maria Louisa to an Hungarian fief, and to
give Immediately over to the Duke of Luc-
ca the principally of Parma in exchange,
for the Luchese states, which would then
be annexed to the Grand Duchy Of Tus-
cany; and as the Grand Duke has no chill
dren, and is not expected to have any, it
is also supposed that provision will be
made out of his states after his death for
the young Napoleon. A veil of secresy
FhaEgs however, over this business, and no
reliance can be placed upon the surmises
of the public"
Stolen child.-In the last number of the
Matches (Mississippi) Ariel which has
reached us, we find an advertisement Of
fering 5000 for the recovery of child Of
Mr.. Benjamin Clarke, of Arkansas Ter
rtory, four or five years old, who disap-
peared in very mysterious manner, in
October 1925 since this time nothing
could be heard of it till October 2, 1926,
when letter was received by the father,
mailed at Matches, which stated that the
child should be delivered on the Ouachita
IF &000s n
enclosed to Matches, directed to the wri-
ter, ct. Tutty) the balance to be paid
when the child was delivered. Mr.. B. ac-
cordingly enclosed note of $50, in LETT
ter directed to said Tutty, which letter was
called for by person owning the name,
and he was Immediately arrested. The

Morris he is now in gaol at Matches, expi-
ating, by imprisonment, the miseries he has
caused in the minds and feelings of the

ted state.
Monsters Of the Sea.-The following state
mcnt is communicated to the editor of this
paper, by an acquaintance, who will vouch for
its authentcity:-
Extract from the Journal of a supercargO
of vessel recently returned from the East
Indies.
ION our voyage out, in lat 40 S. long. a
bout 90, E, we were surrounded for several
hours by number of Sea Monsters, of de-
scription which neither the Captain, (who had
been to sea for 20 years, and or voyages
to India nor any one on board were acquain-
ted with or had ever seen. They were spe-
cies of serpent, and carried their heads three
Or four feet out of water their bodies APP
peared of an irregular shape, resembling
sunken rock, and were covered with barna-
cles i; their tails were forked like fstl's, and
very large.s We had very distinct view of
two of them, which approached us from
direction abeam of lis, and without apparent
ly taking scarcely any notice of us, passed
close under our bowsprit: and to avoid run
ming on them we were obliged to keep the
vessel off, being fearful of injuring her copper
They appeared to be 80 or 40 feet in length,
and at times moved through the water with
great celebrity. Some them at short dis
lance off, exactly resembled the representa-
ton, and their appearance generally was SIM
liar to that have seen of the Sea Serpent,
which appeared on our coast some time since.
There were eight or ten of them, and they
continued around US from noon, when they
were frst seen, until dark" ..
