The following is a sample of the manner 1 n
which Humbugs are “done up” by our Yankee

part of the. country is wild with excitement. The
i ininense snake, with various descriptions of
which the papers have ls?en crowded for two
weeks back, bat length captured. You have
undoubtedly heard all the particulars of his
appearance, the many doubts and sneers as to
the existence of a luiu. natural oilbln oliavuv
ter in a lake but fbur miles long and not quite
three quarters of a mile in width. At any rate
it Ims newer been doubted. Daniel Smith an
old whaleman, came hew about two weeks
since, after hearing of the appearance of the
creature, and while here had the good fortune
to see him. He immediately sent to New
York for an okl shipmate of his and his “irons,”
and on Friday last noth arrival with harpoons
cordage anfl everything necessary to secure a
monster. Many st rangers who arc stopping at
the Walker House in this city, attracted to
this part of the country bv the excitement in
regard to the monster, and who hud obtained
no glipmse of him, laughed at them for their
pains, but they kept on with their preparat ions
in spite of sneers and ben. Boats have been
stationed all over the lake for upwards of eight
•lays, and the two whalemen had a sharp I<»<4c
<mt kept all 1 lw* time, l»eside watching them
selves.
This lake has several outlets, the largest of
which runs through this village and finally emp
ties into or lieeomra the Geneasee River. In
tbe vicinity of lids outlet he was seen first, and
on Sunday he came to the surface, displaying
about 30 feet of his sinuous body, remaining,
however, but a v»ry few moments. The wliale
nien had 1,200 fifct of whale lint* in their bout,
the end of whifch run ashore and fastened to a
tree. On Monday morning everything was on
the alert. The shores were lined with town’s
and strangtrs, anti everybody seemed
excited: About 9 o’clock the ani
mal made his appearance between the whale
men's boat and the shore, revealing twenty or
thirty feet of his length. He lay quiescent up
on the surface, when the whalemen's boat mov
ed slowly toward Inn. Mr. Smith of (loving-
Um, poising a Lilly-iron in the air, (a Lilly-iron
is a patent liarpoou, w heavy cutting knife be
ing attached by ths middle to the end of the
iron by a rivit. As ioon iw the knife enters
the body of an animal this movable blade turns
at right angles to the wound, and being entire
ly blunt and Hat on one side, it is impossible to
extricate it except by cutting out. When they
had got about ten feet from the animal the iron
whistled through tbe air and went deep into his
body.
In a moment the whole length of the monster
wm lushing the air, at a bound revealing hw
whole enormous Isngth, aud then making the
water boil in every direction; he described rapid
foaming circles, and arcs of circles, with such
a swiftMM the eye would scarcely follow him.
Then be darted off in another direction toward
the upper part of the lake, the suddenness of
his movement almost dragging the bout under
water. Line was gradually given him, and, al
ter the space of half an hour, it was plain that
his strength was almost exhausted. The whale
men then came ashore, and gradually Imuld the
line in. The body was within fifty feet of the
shore, when renewal life appeared to have been
given him, and with one dart he carried nearly
nil the line out. This was the lust great effort.
He was slowly dragged ashore, amid the wild
est excitement and tumult ever known in the
vicinity of Silver l«ake. Four or five ladies
fainted upon seeing tlie monster, who although
ashore, was lashing his body into tremendous
folds, and then straightening himself out in his
agony, with a noise and power that made tlie
very earth tremble around him. The harpoon
hud gone entirely through a thick muscular
;surt of him al>out eight ieet from his liead.
The snake or animal is tifly-niuc teet five
inches in length, ami is a most disgusting look

THE DAILY EXAMINER.
exudation. The. body of this creature is variu- \
ble in size. The head is about the size of a full
grown culfs; within eight feet of tbe head of the i
neck gradually swells up to the thickness of a
foot in diameter, which continues for tffteen |
inches, and then tapers down the other way, con-|
stoutly increasing in size, however, as it recall's :
from the head, until the Ixxly of the monster
has a diameter of over two feet in the centre,
giving a girth of over six feet. It then tapers
off towards tbe tail, which ends in a fin which
can be cxpundol in the shape of a fan until it
is three feet across, or closed in a sheath. Along
the belly, from the head to the tail, are double
rows of tins, a foot in length—not opposite each
other, but alternately placed. The head is a
most singular afiair. The eyes are very large,
white, staring and terrific.
Attached to the edge of the upper and lower
lids, which are like those of a human being, a
transparent film, or membrance is seen, while it
protects the eye of the animal, does not intefere
with its vision. He has no nostrils, or gills ap
parently. The mouth of this serpent, or what
ever it may be, underneath is almost the. coun
terpart of the mouth of the fish culled a sucker,
possessing the same vavulgar power, pursed up
—but it can be stretched so as to take in a
body of the diameter of a foot and a half. No
teeth can be discovered. A hard bony sub
stance extends m two parrailel lines around the
upper and lower part of the head. His color is
a dusky brown on the sides and back,, and un
derneath the belly it is of a dirtywhite. It is
sinuous like a snake, but has along iss back, and
on each side, a row of hard substance, knob
like in shape—the largest raised fbur inches from
the surface of the body, extending from the
head to tail.
The news of bis capture spread like wildfire,
and before night hundreds, and hundred of peo
ple from the neighboring towns and villages had
collected to see this wonder. The animal still
has the harpoon in him. It passed tlirough the
muscular portion of the back and touched no
mortal part. He lies in the water, an ingenious
contrivance of ropes having beeu placed ou
him while he was on shore, keeping his body in
a curve, preventing him from getting away or
proving dangerous. Lie cun use but his head
and tad, with which he occasionally stirs up the
water all about him for rods. He keeps his
head under water except when he rears it up as
if looking around, and presents a most fearful
aspect. When rearing he expands Ids inquth
and exhibits a cavity blood-red, most terrible
to look upon. As he does this air rushes forth
with a heavy, short puff'. I have no more time
to write you. The hotel is full, and people have
great difficulty in getting a meal in the village.
Boiue of them go up to Castle to get their
meals. The wlialemen contemplate keeping the
monster in his present position until an agent
of Air. Barnum arrives, who has been telegraph
ed. He is expected Itere to-night. Very truly

Heavy Rain IStorm. —Night before last
there was tlie heaviest fall of rain in this city
-k*M*wn f<w ywwv. About midnight the
citizens were startled from their slumber by a
tremendous peal from “heaven's artillery,” in
stantly followed by such a torrent of rain as
brought to mind the time of the universal Hood,
when “the windows of heaven were opened and
the fountains of the great deep were broken
up.” For the space of two hours the rain
poured down with almost undiminished vio
violence, amid the constant. Hashing of lightning
and the crashing of heavy thunder, such as is
rarely heard, save in a tropical climate. Much
damage was done to property by the filling up of
cellars in which goods were stored, and the un
dermining of the foundations of houses in pro
cess of building. A fine two-story brink buikl
ing by Mr. Augustine Shoemaker, on Ijombard
street, was washed down anil is a mass of ruins
A portion of the now branch sewer, on Second
street, also gave way and caved in. The first
story of the Empire Stone Works was almost
entirely submerged, the engine; and boilers being
covered mon* than two feet with water. This
resulted from the back water from Chouteau’s
Fond, near which it is situatal. the Poplar
street sewer being inadequate from obstructions
and other causes to carry oft’ all the water.—
Much damage was done, the particulars of which
we have not learned.— St. Louis, IGt/i cnst.

night into a fruit store,'under the Louisville Ho
tel, by party of fellows who were shouting “cutch

WANTED, 20,000 Subscribers!
NEW PROSPECTUS
OF THE
ATLANTA WEEKLY EXAMINER
A New Southern Enterprise!
SUBSCRIPTION ONLY
One Dollar per annum.
The Weekly Examiner will after the first day
of August next, he issued to subscribers, at the
low price of ONE DOI,LAR per annum, paya
able invariably in advance.
Many reasons have induced the proprietor of
this paper to embark in an enterprise never be
fore attempted in the South, and which has
proved, not only successful in the Anti-Slavery
States North and West, but has received a pat
ronage iu the Slave States, that had better be con
fined. though at greater expense, to the South
ern Press.
To obviate, tnen, the objection, as far as we
can, to the price of the Weekly Examiner, we
from and alter the period designated will forward
I it to subscribers at one dollar, per annum, and
, this will place it within the reach of the poor, as
| well as the rich.
To politics, news, and literature, the Examiner
will be devoted. Our position in regard to the
first is already well understood. It is unnecessa
ry, therefore, to say more than that it sustains
and will sustain, the DEMOCRATIC ANTI
KNOW NOTHING PARTY of Georgia and
the I nion, to which the South can look, with
confidence, to the maintenance of her rights, and
a strict adherence to the Constitution.
The NEWS DEPARTMENT of this paper
shall be unsurpassed by any weekly paper in the
South. Atlanta occupies a position, and embra
ces facilities, for the receipt and transmission of
NEWS, unequalled in the South. Every ad
vantage will be taken of these, to make the EX
AMINER a valuable news paper to our farmers,
who, in the main, subscribe for weekly papers
only.
The Literary and Miscellaneous Department
will also receive a large share of attention.
During the session of our Legislature, one of
the Editors will be present to report the proceed
ings of that Body, for the Daily Examiner—these
reports will be transferred to the weekly and each
subscriber to it, will thus have a complete history
of the session.
A correspondent to furnish the proceedings of
Congress, and a New York correspondent, have
also been engaged. In short, every thing that
can reasonably be expected of a weekly paper,
will be laid before the subscribers to the Exam
iner.
! A large and fine assortment of new typo has
been ordered, and is now on its way from New
York. We hope to receive it in time for our
next week s issue, when not only will the ap
pearance of our Daily and Weekly be greatly
j improved, but a large quantity of reading matter
| will be added to both.
In adventuringupon this novi enterprise—one
, so important to Georgia, and the South—the Pro
; prietor anticipates a generous support. It is the
first established paper in the State, or the South,
i with a large circulation, that has reduced its
| terms, that it may be within the reach of any man.
. As such, it is hoped and believed that the enter
prise will prosper.
We appeal then to the people, to subscribe;
particularly do we call upon the DEMOCRACY
and ANTI-KNOW NOTHINGS, to stand by
us. Send in your orders, by tens and by hun
dreds, and we will send you a large, well printed
piper equal in its every department, to any week-
V Southern paper.
MOST IMPORTANT TO THE LADIES
Dr. Geissner’s celebrated Menstrual Pills have
been long and widely known as invariably cer
tain in removing my stoppage, irregularity, or
suppression, of the menses.
In the Female Hospitals in Vienna, Paris,
and Berlin, they have entirely superseded the use
of all other remedies ; bectuse, where a cure is
attainable by medicinal agencies, they are cer
tain of success. Their efliacy would be almost
incredible, if not vouched for by indubitable tes
timony, in numerous instances producing returns
of the monthly period after all hope had been
abandoned.
In every case from whatever cause the obstruc
tion may arise, as also to prevent pregnancy
where the health will not admit of increase of
family, they arc always efficient; for which
reason they must not be used during pregnancy,
though al ways mild, healthy, safe and certain in
their e fleets.
Married ladies will find particular instructions
in the directions, in which are stated the various
symptoms by which the causes of the suppression
may be determined.
Price, One Dollar per Box, containing explicit!
directions.
Each box will be signed by Dr. R. G. Geish
ner.
Principal Office, 127$ Liberty Street, New
York City.
Responsible agents will be appointed for their
sale as soon as practicable. In the meantime, all
orders are to be addressed to Dr. R. G. Geissncr,
1275 Liberty Street New York City, or to box
2456 N.Y. Post Ofliee, and a box will he sent by
return mail, as they are putupin sealed envelopes
and can be sent with the strictest privacyt o any
part of the United States.
