S.-Since writing the above our
friend, Col. X. w. Hanson, has reacneo
this celebrated resort, and desires me to
add that the present Of demuohn OF
whisky. which he learns you have prom

the latitude, as we'll as the sentiments OF
our neighbors up the harbor, holding
out most tempting inducements TO col
,ivate a taste for that most delightful
beverage. As a matter OF caution
however, be urges me to add that ne
hopes, if the liquor be OF good quality
YOU will not venture to taste II, a. ne
