A letter from Monmouth, dated the 13th inst. says--
"About eight o'clock yesterday morning, two fishermen going down the river, in their truckles, fishing for salmon, found their net much heavier than usual; and which, on coming to shore, they found contained a huge monster, the upper part bearing exact resemblance to a man, the middle to a beast, spotted like the leopard, and a tail like a fish, the hair on his head green - he had red eyes, and tusks five inches and a half in length, and he measures, from head to tail, thirteen feet and three quarters. He is now deposited in the Town Hall, for the inspection of the curious."
From the Lancaster Gazetter, November 24th, 1810.
