Oysters we're higher in price yesterday than
the Oldest inhsbitant can remember. They
sold in bulk from the oyster sloop at from ten

the price OF Oysters are various. The men
are not to be found to dredgs for them; next,
the oystermen have lately experienced a

from fear of water-guerrillas. Then the work
