cargo of Dreadful Accidents, Narrow Es-
capes, Steamboat Explosions. Murders, Ship.
wrecks and Sea Tales, (as to the nautical

necessary supply of provisions, &C., DC.
when to my utter astonIshment, | discover
that can procure all the articles stand in |
need Of, within six miles of my plantation, at

weekly, SO that it may give fair statement
of the actual market prices?
