| THE FOREST CITY,
This steamboat has been suddenly chartered for this
especial trip. She is Of the line Of going
steamers plying between Portland and Boston, and Is
consequently well fitted for coastng service. The boat s
have recently been used for he accommodation Of ladies'
and families, and although now used by the sturdy
Of toll and adopted sons Of Mars will doubtless be no
them.
