of freight for two dollars presented, which We
thought rather exhorbitsnt. On the next trip
OF the same steamer, she brought us a fierce OF
dollars, making six dollars in all, the previous
bill not having been settled. Mr.. c., went to
the boat to pay the bill, but 1t being more than
he expected, ne only carried four dollars, which
was handed the clerk, and = moments delay
asked TO step up to the house "a very short dis
tance) for the remainder. The Captain refused
to wait, ordered the box Cfwine TO be reshipped
and ths whole OF the money to be ready On his
return. Asseyeral of rs were III, We we're par

For the benefit of the writer of the above,
however, he would state that the Captain OF 1.-THE
Julia has been removed. and that Captain Bob
