tiraty bare Of shipping. The oye looks in vain
along long lines or empty wharf, for the numerous
mass that are wont to grace orr waters, and ship
ping clerks industriously attempt to keep up
show Of work, while idle draymen lounge lazily on
cotton bales. This is ascribable as much to ad-
verse winds as to dull times, for many vessels have
been long due here. It is not more than once in

employed, but she died in little more than an
hour. A postmortem examination revealed the
Act that the chloroform was the rndoubted cause
