very little wind stirring, the vessel made
little progress through .he water. The
crew now ordered the captain and mate
below, which they were both forced to
obey-but shortly afterwards, the board

when the crew released their officers.
Capt. Albee went ashore, and stated the
facts to the authorities of Port au Prince;
in consequence of his representation the
crew were apprehended, tried for mutiny,
and on the 9th day after their arrival the
whole, seven in number, were executed.

A SAower Of Chalk k!!--Eztraordinary.
On the 30th of May, rs Mrs. +. Black
mer, was returning from the south part
Of the town, near sunset, she was over
taken by what she supposed hail storm
on arriving at home she mentioned the
circumstance to her husband. Mr.. +.
Blackmer, who was a little incredulous
Of the fact, as he had not seen any at
home. In taking off Mrs. Blackmer
cloak, some of the supposed hail had
lodged in the folds of the lining, and on
examination it was found to be appa-
rently small globules Of Chalk In the
evening the circumstance was named to
the narrator--who was a little incredu-
lous of the fact, Notwithstanding the
high crediblity Of Mrs. Blackmer, who
to put the matter past dispute, took his
lantern and went to his Dearborn wagon
and brought a number Of small globules
shat had lodged in the wagon-on exam
ination they had the appearance Of very
pure chalk-were Of the size of mustard
seed shot, and very white. According
to Mrs. Blackmer there was very con-
siderable fall of il, so much SO that the
wind being N. w. and in their faces
made it uncomfortable proceeding. The
cause we must leave to ADLER heads, but
there is no doubt of the fact.-Gazette.
