that The contract was by the act vi;Iated

ties Were made by the Russians, and the re-
suits OF these engagements are seen in the ar

an attempt would be made to storm the garri-

Affairs between Austria and Prussia wear

10 have summoned Prussia to withdraw her

The French Emperor had refused permits

THE OLDEST INHABrrANTs.-Chan
threw us yesterday in the way of a sort
of celebration of the pilots. We found
MIR. John Vessels, hale and hearty, glo-
rying in his health, Baltimore pilot,
born Nov. 10, 1882, and now at the age
of seventv-two years, able and willing
to do duty in bis vocation; and he does
do duty, taking his turn as well as others
who come on hand, and putting to shame
many who are Young. He has light
and buoyant step, and seems fitted to
stand some years longer. He stops not
behind the Youngest in the performance
of duty. He was born in st. Mary's
county, Md, within shor. distance of
the Parish church Of St. Inigoes. His
case led US to inquire something about old
pilots and we learned the following:
Lewis Shackeliord, doing duty, over
10 years of age, and still able to do duty
and does GO TO the Capes of the Chesa-
peake.
John Haynie, near 70 years of age,
still follows his PROFESSIONALS was born
in Virginia
Alexander Ashcomb. still on the roll
and performs duty, aged 81 years-and
born IN St. Mary's county, Md.
John Peake, aged II years in March
last, still able to do duty-born in Saint
Mary's county, Md.
George Griggs, aged SO years, ard still
among the working-men.
James Griggs, father of George, aged
90 years, moi IN active service, but still
able to recount his adventures.

citizens whose united ages may well
