DsCHARGING SHIPS AT Observation-Disclosures have
been two Instances recently of merchant vessels ar
irving at this port in distress and being compelled to
discharge cargo, which it is well to put ON record
for the information of those interested in shipping ON
this ocean, and as showing the facilities afforded at
this port for discharging ships. The ship Lorenso1
of Boston, with 1925 tons of guano in bulk, was
discharged in twelve and n half working days, bY
forty natives, the guano sacked on board and carried,
from the wharf to the storehouses, at a cost altogetheI|
of So, 600. The Frank ": Ihayer, also of Boston
discharged ! $50 tons Of wheat, partof which was in
bulk and had to be bagged. in nine working days. by
fifty natives, at a cost of about 81 200, besides $500

From this commencement Of his political career
he was several times returned to the Legislature
and was a member of the Convention of 1864. Hi
last service was in the Assembly of 1866. Ukeke
record as an orator, is one of eccentricity of though
and speech, and whatever may have been the value o
force of his arguments, they were put IN such q fantad
teal way, that he always secured listeners among hi
fellow members. When about to die. he requisite
that no "wailing" should be done over his bod
that the grief of his neigbors and friends should fin
expression only in the use of hymns and prayers.
