CORRESPONDENCE.
Harrisburg, Penn.,
On the 4th of July 1821, a deer was caught
in the Susquehanna mountain in range with
the North Blue mountain. He had taken to
the water, was seen before he reached it, and
had hardly got 100 yards before he was overtaken
by some men in a canoe who had started
after him. One stroke of the pole (which
is used to push the boats across the river)
killed him, and they drew him in triumph to
shore. He was 5 feet long. His horns were
yet tender--about a foot long--covered with
a skin, I cut one of them, and it bled considerably.
His eyes, which were black, turned
green after he had lain some time.
