A River "Sea Serpent,

Austin Rice, of East Deeriield,
plain, unimaginative farmer, who for
nearly fifty of the seventy years of
his life has resided in his quiet home
on the banks of the Connecticut River,
said few days ago: II was near the
bridge, little over week ago, when
! heard what seemed to me like Srunt
hlowed by splash. | looked into
tB river, and, not more than twenty
dvc feet away, saw big snake.
''its head was out of water, and its
body raised some six or seven feet.
At the neck the snake was about as
large rs mans leg at the thigh, and
the body was about rs large at an or
dinary stovepipe. His eyes were as
large as those of horse, and his
mouth, which was open, was nearly
foot across. The color of his body
was black, and white stripe around
his mouth extended down to his
paunch. l followed the snake, trying
to keep alongside OF him. At one
place he started for the bank, and /
started away from it, His power of
locomotion was 50 strong that he had
no trouble in keeping still in the river
against the current. When he got
alongside a 5oatEouse where some
boys were hammering, he heard the
noise and raised himself about ten
feet into the air and then fell back in
to the water and disappeared"
Mr.. Rice's reputation for veracity
among his neighbors aud acquaint-
ances is good. Boston Herald.
