she would have found means 10 be liberty ere now-is
still locked up in cell, for the purpose OF estying
against villain who On trial-day will perhaps be in
Texas 1--WE beg pardon Of sister Texas We mean Caliior
MAJ and his bail will turn Out wisp OF straw. Now
will any one tell riy this girls testimony could not be
taken in writing properly raversed and authenticated
and herself set al liberty What kind of justice is this
that lets the scoundre 60 free and keeps his victim
in Jail

place in the world is now provided with large and
beautiful Tent admirably protecting from the weather
and abundanty supplying those within, while asubs'ana
plank csusewsy leads from Its enirsncecurain over the
snowike sand down 10 the water where safe and con
venient landing has been erected The TWO neat and
agile crafts the Ware and IOGs make regular uips be-
tween the Island and the City and the poiieness and
hospitality of Mr. Reed offer every possible inducement
to citizens who wish occasionally escape into free air.
Tie seabaihing Il, Coney Island and the delicious purity

visitors have been provided for liberal scale, We
presume this will become one postthronged resorts
in the vicinity of,he City.

There was no insurance, and the pecuniary loss
$4,000 is very to the truly and noble old
man to whose life Of toll and sefmaryrdom are
indebted for such splendid results The only edition OF
his costly work a very limited one, and the exant
