A SEAL on THE SusQUEHANNA.-A few weeks
ago Mr.. Joseph NJ. Simmons and others saw,
near Spesutia Island, an animal which they sup
posed to be genuine seal. On Tuesday of last
by Mr. Thomas j. Ross, of Conowingo, lying on
a fiat rock in the Susquehanna river, near the
Cecil county end Of Conowingo Bridge. Mr.
Ross and "Noah,' fisherman, started in pur-
suit in boat, armed with shot guns. They an.
preached within % yards of the strange animal,
but wishing to examne& more closely, refrain
ed from firing. The seal would not permit any
closer inspection, and dived into the water 1t
was shortly afterwards seen swimming about in
the stream, above the bridge. The next day
McsslS. John Shurc and George Alhcrts hunted
for it in q boat and came up with it in Jobs
Hole, famous and mfathomablc spot in the
river. Mr.. Shurc fired at the seal, from Il dis
lance of only 10 feet, but the charge of No. 4
shot glanced harmlessly from its head, and it
quietly slipped into the water. 1t was seen
again Thursday afternoon swimming down the
river, probably disguised with its reception in
our waters and on its way to the sea. 1t is de-
scribed as an animal about the size of a New
| foundand dog, Of dark gray color, with large
head and large eyes. Those who had a good
view of the creature say it appeared to have
been wounded above one of its eyes, as though
it had been struck with a club. In swimming
the only portion of it visible was the head.
