A MERMAD.-The Yarmouth (AIass.) Regis
ter states that short time ago as Mr.. II. s.
Dill and Mr. Benjamin Higgins, two reliable
residents of Eastman, were going off the flats
on the flood tide, with their large boats to
catch blue fish, when about three-q quarters Of
the way down the fats they discovered fish
of very singular appearance on the bottom.
in about five feet of water The fish started
when they were about fifteen feet from it it
protruded its head out of water--and to use
the expression of Mr.. Higgins, "he did not
believe anything could look so much like a
woman" 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 beau
ty; but the cerebellum was what Fowler calls
Judas j, firmness terribly developed, with
the other qualities wanting. If there ever
was mermaid, they say they have seen one.
1t appeared TO be about fifteen feet long, of a
very whitish COLOR except the TAIL which was
nearly black. When it moved, it went face
downward, but turned over when it put its
head out, which made it exactly face towards
them. 1t put is head out twice, and they had
perfect view of it; and no living person can
convince them but that they have seen mcr

CROSSING THE PLANs.-The State Journal
says: "a party Of Western people are now
preparing to start from Sacramento in few
days for the Eastern States, across the country.
The enormous rates of fare charged on the
steamers, is the principal cause Of their taking
this route In the party there are several Ia
dies and children. There are some thirty in
ALL All of them have crossed the Plains, and
some Of them several times. They hope to get
through in about seventy days, and spend sew
eral days at Salt Lake City in that time. The
gentleman who are in the company are very
certain that they will be able to sell their mule
teams at the East at nearly their cost, and are
sanguine that their journey, at the utmost, will
not cost them over $3.50 for each adult. Owing
to many favorable causes the journey is made
with much less fatigue and privation to men
and animals, and in much less time than in
coming from the East The party will take
the old Carson route. 1t is thought that com
panies will be starting across every week for
some time, either through to Missouri or to Salt

cinnati, and killed all the hands. For this, a
large reward was offered for Mason; to obtain
which Little Harpie was decoyed to Natchez,
and there informed against him and betrayed
his friend. On Mason's trial, Harpie himself
was recognized, tried, found guilty, and the day
Mason was hung, he also expiated his crimes.
Mason was remarkable man. He was dis
tingushed by a long double row of upper and
under teeth, that clenched together with the
energy and tenacity of a steel-trap.

A CRINoLINE JoKE-At the recent season
for masquerades in Paris, many attempts were
made to ridicule the prevalent style of female
attire. The most successful one is thus de-
scribed eat another of these balls much
merriment was excited by the appearance of a
young gentleman of about twenty years Of
age, slender, fair and guiltless of beard, who
had attired himself in the extreme of the pre-
vailing feminine fashions. On his head, or
rather at considerable distance behind it, he
wore tiny pink satin bonnet, stuck on the
end of immense steel pins, about half yard
long, fastened firmly into the back hair, put on
for the OCCASION; his dress was, of course,
enormously wide when he entered the ball
room. Making his way to the center of the
largest saloon, he proceeded, by means of
some ingenious hidden mechanism, to develop
the ample folds Of his skirts, until his gown
literally assumed the dimensions of balloon,
filing the ballroom entirely, from wall to wall,
and driving all the company into the cor
ners, and forcing them out into the adjoining
rooms"

A WHITE CHIEF AMONG INDANs-The set
tiers in Sierra Valley say that the Indians who
live about Pyramid Lake, have white man
for a chief He is Dutchman, who was
whipped and branded in Sacramento, for horse
stealing, in 1850. Afterwards he went to the
mountains and so ingratiated himself with the
Indians that they made him Captain. He is
seldom seen by the whites, but the Indians
often tell Of him. Two years ago, party of
immigrants crossing at the Henness Pass, near
Sierra Valley, left wagon behind containing
sick man, intending to return for him in the
evening. When they returned he said Dutch
Indian had been there and carried off several
articles of value, and threatened to kill him.
