SEEING THE MERMAID "A reliable Eastman cor
respondent states that a week or two ago, as Mr.. FL.
s. Dill and Mr.. Ben Higgins, were going off the flats
on the food tide in their large boats, blue-fshing,
when about three quarters of the way down the flats
they discovered a fish of a very singular appearance
on the bottom in about five feet of water. The fish
started when they were about fifteen yards from it !;
when about fifty yards from them, it protruded its
head out of the water-to use the expression of Mr..
Higgins, s ne did not believe anything would look so
much like a aCOmGR.' 1t looked straight at them,
and had scales on its face like the back of an alligator.
The features of the face were made for beauty, but
the cerebellum was what Fowler calls a Judas Jr.,
frmness terribly developed, with the other qualities
wanting. If there ever was a mermaid, they say they
have seen one. 1t appeared to be about fifteen feet
long, of a very whitish color, except the tail, that
was nearly black. When it moved it went face down.
ward, but turned over (the side coming out of the
water,) when it put its head out, which made it ex-
aetly face towards them it put its head out twice,
and they had q perfect view of it, and no living per-
son can convince them but that they have seen a
mermaid.-Yarmouth Register.
