7S7 lbs. of the 1864 crop, up to same date. 18th
March (Saint Patrick's Day) There were fourteen
vessels in port that day loading with sugar, and
had on board an aggregate of 7,7S5,4l6 lbs. The

is surprising the amount of expense and trouble
men will incur in order TO make each other miser-
able. Wise and grave ~seigniors in London, with

forego the culture Of eatable corn to grow bitter
hops and call in half Of Ireland to help harvest
them, then, with the Thames sewerage and rotten
barley meal, brew n witch broth and send it TO the
uttermost ends of the earth in vessels. that in their
