was last week loading ship for dis

thousand feet of boards upon the end
of one of the wharves when the snow
storm overlook him in his Iabors and
prevented his getting his lumber on

close OF the day, he was gazing sor-
r"wfully upon the huge pile, enveIoped

would be of serinus Inconvenience L.
MN were no to await. as he supposed
he should be compelled TO day or

he was accosted by young man of his
