The Paupack creek, in Pike county, Pennsylvania, 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. Tho body of the nionster, which is fully 6 feet In length, is of a reddish-brown tint, very like that of a lizard, and terminates in a tail like that of a tish. The creature's body is bare of any covering, but about tne heai and neck is a mane of reddish hair. It is needless to say that the county is excited over the strange animal. Various parties surround the creek each day in hopes of capturing the beast, but up to the preseut time their endeavors have not been crowned with success.
