very near being drowned in Rum River;
one day last week. Miss Jones, with some
other young ladies, had been on a cherry

river in boat The boat became sur
rounded and blocked up by logs, and they
found it Impossible to proceed, therefore
they disembarked and endeavored to reach

and but for the assistance rendered by
Isaac Brockway, who happened to be near
! at hand, would have been drowned.-4,.o-

den this year a quantity of fine tobacco, q
portion of which has been manufactured

from an opportunity offered us Of testing
the quality of his weed, we pronounce it
unsurpassed by any We ever burned. Mai.
Cullen has always been very successful in
his tobacco crop, and thinks it may be cul-
tivated with profit in this state.-Pioneer.
