AN ALARMING EXPERIENCE.
Received November 21, 8 36 a.m. PARIS, November 20. French fishermen while raising a drag-net in Erquy Bay, off the coast of Brittany, found at least fifteen hundred huge octopuses in it, whose projecting arms fastened on the side of the vessel. The use of hatchets, cutting the cable, and loss of the net alone prevented the boat from capsizing. Two sailors were poisoned by tho animals' tentacles.
