these doubts gave way to certainty: and it
was soon discovered that woman and child
were floating on few planks or spars. The
excitement on board the vessel was intense.
When the order to lower away the boat was
given, George sprapg into it and took the
ruddcr, while four hearty tars manned the
oars.
"Buckle to it, my boys" said George,
"and I'll reward each one of you"
But the sailors needed no promise Of re-
ward. The asben oars bent ard quivered

COSTLY HARNEss.-The Boston Bee informs
lis that the manufact. rers OF the harness
lately made in Boston, as present to Gen.
Pierce, are likely to have q law suit about
it. 1t seems that the order given wa. to
make the best possibly harness to be got up,
and during its manufacture, the contracting
parties visited the establishment several
times, impressing upon the contractors the
Importance of producing the most perfect
harness in their power, without regard to
expense.
On presentation of the bill, which amoun-
ted to Sl837,61, the contracting parties
demurred.
The mountings on the harnesses cost over
$1lOO, and are mostly of solid silver, and
and of most beautiful design, representing
cak branches, leaf and acorn. The designs
nre entirely original, and are exquisitely
tasteful. The Boston Bee says, the har-
Desses cost every cent of the sum named in
the bill. The expense of the carriage was
$500, and that of horses $500. The
manufacturers will probably submit the
matter to a legal tribunal.
