A LARGE EEL I'VE saw at George Pin
ney's- saloon, No. 13 West State street, an
eel caught in the Scioto, some twenty
sinches or two feetin length, and nearly as
thick as mans wrist. How an eel of this
species got up thisfar passes our compre-
,hension. Mud eke are common enough.
,bnt this is one of the regular salt water fell
lows. It attracted great number of Wis
itors. -. -a4seL L -.--ls--'---- ------l-z- |

rEAGs.-The efforts of the police in taking
up persons found lettering round the city,
,ubable or unwilling to give an account OF
themselves, If persisted in, will have the eff
