enterprises ON Friday, and to commence .
Journey on that day in preference to any 9TH
Ct. lheir holy day Is the thirteenth Friday
OF every year. Before placing themselves at
table, they turn their chairs on one leg. and
amuse themselves by turning over the salt
ceilers. And what is beyond belief, although
the Society has been in existence more than I

enjoyment Of the most perfect health; none Of
them have been shipwrecked, and the thunder

Senator Gwin to palm off upon the Government
a barren tract of land for fortification purposes
at the entrance of the San Francisco, for the

by Senator Broderck and Mr. McKibben. .It

2lst inst, every justly denounced in the Senate
by Mr.. Fessenden as an outrage. If, as that
gentleman stated, it is absolutely necessary to
have portion of this property sufficient to
erect fortifcation upon, the Government has
power to condemn, and obtain possession at a
fair rate, and not to submit to SO gross an out.

the whole ranch on which Lime Point, (Which,
We understand, is directly opposite Fort Point,)
is situated, is not worth 81 600 1t is our opin.

out the prospect Of selling the site mentioned
