A number of persons claimed they saw the strange inhabitant of the water, and described it as haviog a head like an alligator. Naturally it aroused the curiosity of some of our young men who are anxious to write their name far up on the tablet of fame. George Gar rett became so excited that he went to the authorities and asked whether there was a law against shooting otters or beavers. He was informed if he shot either in Reynolds dam he would be ex. onerated from the fine, He went out there several times but stood far enouglr from the shore so that the devil fish could not get hold of him in case it jumped out on the bank. It is said our ood friend Frank Sasserman spent a day on the breast of the dam, waitin Jatiomiy for a chance to make himsel] amous, by coming up High street with its hide dangling to his belt, Every time there was a ripple in the water Frank s heart ¢ od up his throat A beaver is an inhabitant of the northern waters, and the only way one could get § he terranean channel that is said start up in Canada and feeds our big » ring.
