A Mermaid w. rooo;

A hermd'd.-We received several DAVIS
since letter, from an intelligent medical
friend at the South giving description Of
mermaid which he saw in the possession
OF an English gentleman recently arrived
from the FeJee Islands via the Pacific
Ocean and the West Indies. The letter
y loo lengthy for publication in our columns
Notwithstanding some naturalists have
been disposed to treat the existence or this
creature as fabulous, there really exists n
mass of evidence that mermoids b,vo -,
only frequently been seen, but that thew
nave also been taken alive in various parts
OF the WORLDLY y. Sun. .

wAt the great Clay meeting in Har.

Rg-At the great Clay meeting in Har-
risburg, Pa, when Mr.. Morris was in the
mids, of his speech, some mischieyous
boys, or no less mischieyous men. Loco
focos probably with view 10 break up
the meeting, raised the cry of Fire /! Sus-
pecting the motive and with a view TO
counterfeit it, the cry of " False alarm "
was sounded from all sides of the House.
In the midst of the hustle, tho clear voice
of Mr.. Morris was heard far above the din,
in thrilling accents -" Yes, "
Mr.. President, we shall soon get up fire
among the people, which will be no FALSE
ALARM !" The cheering response which
this exclamation, showed most
conclusivoly that the enthusiasm for /" Har-
ny of the West" is even now ready to
burst forth and oyerwhem this Union.-
For the space of about a minute, there
was one continued cheer, and not soul
went out to see whether the alarm out Of
doors was true or false.-Rai. Reg.
