SUsPIo1oUs.-Night before last about
u o'clock a small boat containing two
men pulled out from the wharf lear the
Ferry and partially crossing the dock,
stopped as if waiting for something. On
the approach of the Ferry Boat it moved
backwards, as if Intentionally, until it
gained position Immediately ahead of
the coming steamer, when it again be-
came stationary. Fortunately the steamer
was stopped in time or else there would
have been acoroners jury to summoned
the next day. Those who occupied the
small boat evidently had some intention
for acting in such strange manner.
Those who witnessed the behaviour of
the men looked upon them with much
suspicion.

Beg Last night the steamer Roanoke
arrived at her wharf in Portsmouth. hav-
ing on board an Engine for the 'Union
Fire Company" under the command of
Capt. John G. Rogers. This engine was
sent to New York about four months ago
to be rebuilt We have seen many En-
gines in our life, but we have never seen
one that could compare with the "Union''
in any manner. On the front of the en-
CINE is a beautiful picture, representing
the "Deluge;" on the back is one repre-
senting "Air;" on the right hand side or
condenser case is one representing "Gai-
ty;" on the left hand is one representing
"Youth;" on the front is one represen-
ting Commerce and Trade" and on the
back is one representing an "Indian
Girl"
The Company will parade in sholt
time, when our citizens will have chance
of seeing this truly beautiful piece of
workmanship.
