% A LIVING WHALE TRANSPORTED BY THE
GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY FROM RIVER DU
LoUP. TO PoRTLAND.-We mentioned in
our last impression that a living whale
has been transported by rail from River
du Loup TO Portland. We have now
some further particulars OF this remarka-
bic fact. On Monday evening last, this
dweler OF the seas, measuring fourteen
feet in length, well boxed and covered
with sea weed, passed Island Pond on his
way to Boston. He was captured at the
River du Lour for Mr.. Cutting, the en-.
terprising proprietor OF the "Aquarial
Gardens" of Boston, at an expense of
S400, in addition 10 which is TO be added
s400 for freight by special train through
to Boston. We are told that tank is
made specially for his whaleship of /
inch plate glass, and having pipes from
the reservoir at cost of $4,000, Mr..
j. Martin superintendent OF the Eastern
division OF the G. Il. r. R., accompanied
this special train, and saw that this ex.
traordnary visitor received his drinks at
every wafer station.
Alter the above was written we re-
ceived the following further particulars :
This new railway traveller over the Grand
Trunk arrived safely at Portland at A.
NJ. yesterday, all alive, and like "Mark
Tapley," quite jolly, after his long ride
OF 4iO miles. A special train was in
waiting 10 take him on to Boston. He was
sent in a large box, covered with sea-
wood. and al each watering station the
hose was turned upon him, when he
blew off famously, making quite as much
noise as Putting Billy."-NontreaI &C.
