a FEuGE SNAER.-Itis well known that there
nave heen divers runors through town relative to
= large monster, which, it was said, was seen
above this place short timea ago. Each account
We saw was so distorted by cxaggeraton, that we
concluded II to be fiction--a hoax to test the
creduiity of the town; bat we have since learned
that such huge animal has been actually seen.
We had the circumstances from gentlemen of We
racity. a son Of Mr.. Spillman, and son of Mr..
Hoagland, on last Friday week, about one mile
and half above this place, on the Kentucky side
OF the river, while walking along the bank, saw
IN the edge OF the water an animal bearing every
appearance OF q huge snake They approached to
within about forty steps when it took to water,
and swan nearly to the Indiana shore, when it
disappeared. Another gentleman, who was riding
By, upon his attention being directed to it by the
boys, distinctly saw 1t, though it was near this
shore Of the river, which proves it to have been
very large, to be distinguished at such distance.
1t was supposed to be from twenty to thirty feet
IN length. 1t was of a very dark color and had
something like a shining svery ring about its
neck It's trail IN the sand and across the roads
have been seen. 1t has appeared several times
within few years, and about the same placc,and
has been seen by several persons.
