to a great degree, as federal buildings

banks of Annapolis river in Nova-
Scotia,about 35 miles from the mouth
thereof— that along this river are
large bodies of ground which

high water mark—that the waters
continue to rife higher every year—
that he had often heard an elderly
person declare, that they had rated
so much there, that the tides extend
now 50 miles higher up Annapolis
river than formerly. The only rea
son of these remarks is to excite en
