port. That the show of sheep was very
large--over 200 being entered --and most

10 ounces. The fleece exhibited by Mr..

There was a difference in shearing Of
two months in favor of MIR. Stoves buck.

1t is claimed thai the bonds have nearly
all been subscribed for. and many of them
by people whom the government least sus-

will at the proper time seize them and

In all probability both these steamers
will be thoroughly searched before going

passengers or freight are allowed to land
War vessels are by this time already sta

nestle affairs Of the family. and very
much regrets the partial loss Of her eye

worthy descendant of her illustrious an

five grandsons. from one family. in the
