Thrilling Story.

An extraordinary story is told BY Captain
Wallace of lover and his mistress, who were
saved in singular manner from the jaws Of
a shark %
a transport, with part of a regiment on
board, was sailing with gentle breeze along
the coast Of the Colony; one Of the officers
was leaning over the poop railing, converslne
with a young lady who had inspired him with
the tender passion. The fair was in the cabin
in the act of handing paper to her lover,
when. overreaching herself, she fell into the
sea, and, supported by her clothes, drifted
astern; the officer lost no time in plunging in
after her, and upheld her by one arm. The
sails were quickly back, the ship lay to, and
preparations were made to lower boat, when,
to the dismay of all on board, large shark
appeared under the keel of the vessel, and
gliding towards his victims; shout OF terror
from the agonized spectators called the atien-
tion of the officer to the approachlng danger I;
he saw the monsters fearful length near him !;
he made desperate effort, plunged and splash
ed the water so as to frighten the shark, who
turned and dived out of his sight. The cur
rent had now carried the officer and the lady
close to the vessel, when the shark appeared
again, and was in the act of turning on his
back to seize one OF the hapless pair, when a
private Of the officers company who was stand
in the hammock nettings, jumped fearlessly
overheard with baycnet in his hand, which
he plunged into the back of the shark, which
instantly disappearing, the three were released
from their perilous situation

them TO a stiff clay soil, with light loan on top.
(these trees formerly stood on stony soil }
and they have now been standing over nine
years, and not a black knot has ever made its
appearance on one of them, (here about
twenty in number.) | am OF opinion that a
heavy dressing of clay around the trees would
greatly benefit them, if hot entirely stop the
disease. form this opinion from general OBJ
servation.
Now, 10 cure this disease, l would suggest
taking sharp knife and cutting out most of
the affected parts, then take some raw tar and
plaster over the wounded parts. This seems to
kill the disease, and the tree heals very rapid
