Event Details
Advices from Liberia to the 16th of April communicate nothing important. The Colonial schr. Hard Times, of 24 tons, belonging to Louis Sheridan, a colonist, had been lost on the coast, together with a cargo worth about $1000. Africa's Luminary of the 16th says,—A very large and beautiful snake as much like the Anaconda of South America as anything else we ever saw, was killed on Tuesday by a native, (a recaptive,) named Samuel Bell. Its length was thirteen feet, and the circumference of the thickest part of the body fifteen inches.
