The United States Consul at Altona, in Hol-

recent improvements at that port there is
regular draught of water winter and summer to
accommodate the largest mercantile ships. The
Tamerane, of Philadelphia, arrived at Altoona
Dec. 9, drawing 20 feet OF water. Tnis IS great
improvement for those engaged in the North
German trade, as hitherto all ships to Hamburg
encounter lighterage, while they come to the
port Of Altona without breaking cargo.

1t having come to the knowledge of
the Post of the Grand Army of the Re-

for the comrades assembled to declare
that such tickets, so far as this organ

that they were evidently gotten up for

"A very friendly and amiable dog

of his much lanen.ed brother dog
"Tray," except honesty, which last was
the cause of his death. At the house
where he had last boarded they were
in the habit of feeding him meat highly
seasoned with horse-radish, which, IL
seems, he had no particular relish for,
and under the circumstances concludea

CRY one day, he went into neighoor s.

jumped upon the table and in very
