RIPE PEAcHEs-Mr. j. b. Clagett exhibited
to-day some very hne samples Of the new seed
hing peach, which attracted considerable atten-
ton last year. They are OF medium size, beau
uful in appearance, and delicious in taste. But
their great feature is the fact that they ripen
about thirty DAYS earlier than any ether peach
ever known in this locality.

Narratives of the Survivors.


John Gribble first class boy, says that he was just
passing round the capstan in mastering for his
watch after the ship had made the first lurch to lee
ward, when he heard Captain Burgoyne sing out,
answer came "Eighteen.n The ship kept on heel
ing over, and never came UP again. Went out on

have thought thnt at one Time Captain BnrgoYne
was one OF the five OF them who got hold OF the gun

washed away. The fact, however, seems TO be that
after the ship capiized Captain Burgoyne was seen
clingng to the keel Of the pnnace and that those In
the launch were never able TO get near enough to
pull him on board. Besides the pinuace the Cap
tain had amldshps, OH her hurricane deck, three
boats one within the other, two launches and gal
