We are credibly informed that one Of the
denizens Of the polar regions, vertable phoca
or seal, by some means or other, recently found
Its way into the marshes of the Roanoke river,
in Tyrel county, North Carolina, where it was
quietly regaling itself upon the fish which had
become entanged in shad net belonging to a
gentleman engaged in the fishery business in
that county. The proprietor not liking such an
interloper, went after his gun and succeeded in
shooting the aHipal, which, when brought on
shore, showed BY its size that it had not ne
elected its opportunities in the matter of good
living. 1t yielded three gallons Of oil, and the
skin is now in the possession of Mr.. G. w.
Buford, of this city, where it may be seen by
the curious. We believe this is the first seal
ever seen in the waters south of New Y ork, and,
though some suppose it may have taken an in
voluntary passage South on cake of ice, the
question, we consider, still open for the discus
