the reptile settled inte the water, and
with its horrid head elevated about two
feet above the surface, began to move
off toward the centre of the lake, re-
peating the noise, which sounded like
the below of bull, and lashing the
water into foam for q distance of at
least forty feet behind the head.
When the monster raised its head
first, the two ladies who sat facing the
scene screamed and tainted. The other
two, though terribly frightened, kept
their eyes fixed upon the monster antil
it disappeared. The men seemed par
alyzed by the sight, and state that they
were unable to make stroke of the
oars. They were not near enough to see
the shape of the head, but unite in say
ing that the body of the animal was at
least two feet thick ut the neck, and
gradually increased in size down to the
water. The belly seemed of a light col
or, and the back black.

A Hfdesus Msnsfer Discsvered In
Lake Ontario.
From the oswego Palladism, June Ill

JfIOm OsNeRO ounO iA'J
We know that it has been customary
for the manufacturers of the marvel
lous to revive at intervals the story of
the "Sea Serpent" which has gone the
rounds of the papers ''many time and
off," and been laughed at by the public
as it should have been. In the face of
this fact, we do not hesitate to present
the following statement, which We be-
lieye to.be true in every particular, for
the reason that We have it upon the tes-
timony Of eight persons, six Of whom
saw, each for him or herself, all that is
contained in the statement, and two
others, who for reasons given, saw only
q portion thereof. If we were permit
ted to give the names of those who
make the statement, NO one at all ac-
quainted in Oswego would doubt it for
moment. The following is the state
ment: Last evening about 8 o'clock, a
party of four ladies and four gentlemen
Of this city went out upon Lake Ontario
for ride in o four-oared row-boat.
They went up the lake about two
miles. 1t was still daylight when
the party started. The evening
was pleasant with almost no wind,
and the moon, though not shining very
brightly, made objects plainly discern
able on, the lake. There were number
of sail vessels in sight, and also few
row w-boats. On the return of the party,
when opposite the hill upon which the
Sheldon residence stands, some three
hundred feet from the shore, and about
ten o'clock, the occupants OF the boat,
who were singing at the time, heard
peculiar noise which attracted their at
tention. About two hundred feet ahead
of them, and within one hundred feet
of the shore, they saw what they at first
thought to be o log floating in the water.
The peculiar noise was repeated, and
this time it was apparent that it
came from the vicinity of the "log.'
The steersmar headed the
boat towards the "logn as he
said, for the purpose Of rescuing
the cast away abullfrogr immediately
that the boats head was turned, the
party all saw most horrible sight. The
form of hinge snake was raised fully
fifteen feet into the air, and brought
down into the water three or four times
inquick succession. A noise similar in
nature to that heard previously, but
greatly increased in power was heard /;

From the Troy Times, the llth.
A nlethsd Minister Elopes with ,
Girl Of Sixieen.

The quiet village of North Adams was
thrown into the widest excitement on
Sunday last by the discovery that Rev.
S. A. Merrill, the late pastor Of the
Methodist Church ut that place; had
elOped with beautiful and interesting
young lady, named Houghton, leaving
q wife and nine children. 1t seems that
both parties had been absent. from the
village since Wednesday last, but as
the young lady had told her parents
that she was going to visit friend in
the ueighborhOod, and Mr.. Merrill had
lately been appointed to another charge,
rendering his absence from home neces-
sary considerable portion of the time,
no suspicious were aroused until Sun
day, when the failure of either parry to
appear, taken in connection with the
remembrance that there had been some
former scandal in relation to them,
suggested that there must be something
wrong. Accordingly, on Monday morn
ing, the friends of the young lady came
to this city, and found that on Wednes-
day night last, Mr.. Merrill had put mp
at the Troy House, registering his name
as s. A. Merritt of New York, and that
on Thursday night he had stopped at
the American. From this it appears
that the young lady did not reach Troy
until Friday. when it is supposed that
he met her at the depot, put her aboard
the Troy House coach, and that they
stepped together at that house for a
shsrt time, but left for the West on the
same day. During Thursday, Mr.. Mer-
rill made one or two attempts to bor-
row money, and was refused, $50 being
the sum that he desired. Whether he
finally succeeded in "raising the wind"
we did not learn, but q report received
from Utica yesterday, states that he had
stopped in that city, and was again try
ing to borrow money. He procured
ticket on the Central Railroad, from
o conductor on, the Troy and Boston
road, with whom he was acquainted,
telling him that he did not know
whether he would 60 to Utica or farther
West, and would pay for it when he re-
turned. The brother and brOther-in-
law of Miss Houghton were in the city
this morning, and intend to give the
reverend villain pursuit and warm
greeting when they overtake him. The
young lady is but sixteen years OF age,
and in addition to being one of the
most beautiful and accomplished young
ladies of North Adams, is most respecta-
ably connected. .~-.-- ---..,,
Mr.. Merrill is well known throughout
the Troy Conference as u preacher of
remarkable eloquence and power, and
has occupied some of the most impor-
