UU * w V. v (•» u VM V- Q * w—. - — —— '**’future of Washington.• * *The Paupack creek, In Pike county, is the dwelling-place of a monster more wonderful than the sea-serpent, if one can believe the stories told by people in the vicinity. They describe the beast as having a head like an ape and square shoulders like a human being. From the shoulders of the creature there extend legs, or arms, which terminate in great claws. The body of the monster, which is fully six feet in length, is of a reddish-brown tint, very like that of a lizard, and terminates in a tail like that of a fish. The creature's body is bare of any covering, but about the head and neck is a mane of reddish hair. It is needless to say that the oounty is excited over the strange animal. Various parties surround the creek each day, in hopes of capturing the beast, but up to the present lime tbeir endeavors have not been orowned with suoeess.I JT*CwABLas Jour's
