taxing it 10 the iTOquOs riyer lei bag With sand,
al fastening the bag TO the body OF their victim, cast
il into the river In O few days however, account
of the heat of the weather probably, the body partially

The SrIvER-LAKE SERPENT.-if evidence has any
weight reople will begin 10 believe the story Of mon
sier snake in Silver Lake. The Perry Times has tho
following additional evidence; +" On IhGrsdav, the
10th inst, as Mr.. John Nor0en, substantial farmer
and we'll known in this neighb0rhood, was engaged in
the field with FIVE OF his men on the west shore OF the
lake between two ard three miles above the outiet,
they discovered something IN the water making for the
sb re. The distance from them wa quarter 10
half mile. They watched II for some time. About
seven feet Of the monster was above water, and the
weke left by II, in bis own language, was much
'Iarper than that pade by any boat fha IA rowed on
the lake. II continued in the same course until it
reached the rushes when il disappeared +"
We old not see Mr. Worden when in town on Sat
urday, but have The above facts from men Of csndor
who conyeTsed with hin. We have since learned that
The nor zfer was seen AZ the same time and place by
rerson on the east shore of the lake.
It will be observed that when the monster was seen
by Mr.. Worden ke was near the head Of the lske-a
locality in which until this seasOp he has been seen
AZ different times for 20 or 90 years.
