Melvin certainly offered to t tke a boar, and go
along•side but the fun was by that time become
public, and he could not rt any companions. The
truth is, the Mark Monad is in love with a Mrs.
Pattypan, of this town, who was in the lia44 of
taking a boat at the first signal, freighting it
with all kind of meet fare, and paving a visa t;)

there was a salute fired. Whether the Lady was
offended at this, we know not ; but true it is, that
her not answering the signal was the cause of the
alarm. Books are opened at the libraries for sub-
scriptions for the untortunate sufferers by tliestorm
of Thursday.

ants, to enjoy their morning and evening hunge,
