THE SILVER LAKE SEA SERPENT STORY
AGAIN.-I csterlay, the lst inst, the cXis-
tcncc Of monster of the fish or serpent
species in the quiet waters Of Silver Lake was
established beyond reasonable doubt. if i'll
decd there has been room for doubt for a
week past.
At about noon on Wednesday the monster
was seen by at least half a dozen persons
from different points Of vicw from the up
land adjon ing the lake. There were no
boats out. Work,ncn on the farm of Mr. A.
Macomber half a mile distant--two
young mon visiting at Mr.. Ms. on another
part Of the farm, a young man named Merrill
Of this village, from another point, and part
of Mr.. Ms family from the upper window
facing the lake. l. All saw the monster, ap =
parcntly summing himself on the surface of
the water.
A description is impossible except of hi S
movements. He moved and noundercd about
for ten or fifteen minutes. The parties were
from onc-Quarter to half a mile distant. The
water elsewhere on the lake was as smooth
AS glass, aud there could be no deception or
optical dclusion in the vision Of the parties.
All concur in the statement that he is as
large round as large log, and that thirty or
forty feet of him were visible.
The parties saw it unknown to each other.
Some of them have no personal acquaintance.
and one or two are yet almost ready to dis
believe their own senses rather than run
counter to all wcll-cstablished rules in regard
10 Snakcology.
For ourselves, we are forced to admit the
fact of the existence If a monster of the Ser
pcnt species of immense proportions in Silver
Lake. We cannot escape the conviction and
belief, unless we disbclicvc merely because
We have not seen.
We hope, however, to announce before
long that he has been captured. Every ef.
fort is being made to accomplish that object
One word more We assert, without fear o
contradiction. that there is not Il log on or il,
the waters of Silver Lakc-that nothing has
hcen placed there to create the serpent story
and that what is above stated. and wha
has appeared in THE Hyomiag Times regard
ting Serpent in Silver Lake has been related
I" us by candid, honest and iruthful men aud
womcn-pcrsons who have not fnchcd from
tcslifying to the facts as given to the public.

How THE QUEEN LANDED, AND THE EMI
KISSED HER TwIcE.-It was expected that the
Empress would have accompanied the EN-
peror to Boulogne on Saturday, but it appears
that she was prevented by delicacy of health.
When the vessel with the royal visiters on
board, was brought to q pont volant, q COM
panion ladder, covered with crimson velvet,
was extented from the shore. When this was
fixed to her deck, Prince Albert handed her ms
jesty forward but no sooner had the Queen put
her foot on it and left the deck than, as On her
first touching the soil of France, the Emperor,
who had previously dismounted, came for ward,
took her Majesty by the had, and saluted her
on both cheeks-a salutation customary among
royal personages on such occasions. Tho
manner in which Prince Albert handed her
Majesty forward, the Emperor's offering, and
her Majestys reception of the salute, were es
pecially noted as exceedingly graceful, natural
and unaffected.
The English present, who were not aware o.
royal etiquette in such matters, seemed at frs.
q little taken by surprise, and then Responded,
to what many of them supposed an unusual
act of amity on the part Of the allied soverelgns
with three very hearty cheers.
There is great virtue in kiss from an tn,
peror. When Louis Napoleon was speca
constable in London, if he had presumed to KISS
the Queen, he would have had his brains knock,
ed out with blow from chilly" by some"
his constabularly brothers.
