sells lying there, however which will be offered for
sale at public auction in a short time.
The United states steamer Huron was put out OF
commission on Thursday afternoon. Her crew was
composed mostly OF men whose terms OF enlistment
had expired previous 10 leaving the south Atlantic

soop-of-war Brooklyn, and when that ship was
ordered home IN 1867 they were transferred to the
frgate Guerriere, flagship OF Admiral Davis. The
men who were over their time were receiving one
fourth more pay, and consequently came In for q
pretty good pile when accounts were squared with
Uncle sam. But few OF their number received 'big
