A Sea Monster.

The strange animal killed near East
port, Main, has been on exhibition in
that city during the past two weeks:
This animal, part fish and part beast,
is over thirty feet in length, and girts
twenty-one feet. .aIt has5one enormous
dorsal fin, two side belly fins, and a
broad, shark-like tail. About one-third
of its length from its tail, in connection
with small fins, it has two huge legs ter
minating in web feet. It's mouth makes
line of five or six feet in length, the
whole extent Of which is set with innu
merablc small teeth, very much resem-
bling in size and shape the Kernel of a

other Like the hounces once the style, Of

which was estimated to have weighed
when captured about eleven tons, has
no frame work of bones, its most solid
portions consisting of cartilage incapa-
bic of preservation. It's skin is dark
and toug Oh, like that Of the elephant and
rhinoceros. There is no record of his
species, and to none il it a greater Won

is being drawn to it. Among others
who have had an opportunity of seeing
it, is Professor Baird. Of the Smithsonian
Institute of. Washington, who is yet un-
able to place it in tie known list Of the
animal kingdom. When first discovered
it was swimming along leisurely, and
when pursued took to the land, and
when captured was a hundred and
twenty feet above high water mark.

none took effect until the gun was loaded
with small spikes, which took effect.

Dry her tears.
Not long prayers, but earnest zeal;
This is what is wanted moro.

Bread unto the famished deal
From thy store.
Not high sounding words Of praise
Dues God want, meath some grand dome
But that thou the fallen raise;
Bring the poor from life's highways
TO thy home.
