Sea Serpent again.-We understand his honor the Sea Serpent is paying a visit to our coast, and was seen reconnoitering our bay between this place and Harpswell day before yesterday. Whether he is visiting our state for the mere love of travelling, like other fashionable tourists, or has come among us to spend some of the hot summer months for his health, or is on his way down East to explore timber townships, we are not informed. He was however seen day before yesterday by Mr. Edward Ingraham and his lady and others, in a vessel coming from Harpswell to this place. They were within a few rods of him and had a fair view of him. He carried his head six or eight feet out of the water, had the bunches upon his back or exhibited the undulating motion and all the appearances that have usually been ascribed to him. Mr. Ingraham had before been an unbeliever in the existence of these monsters, but now has no doubt on the subject.-Courier.
