dollar. The supposed cause for thia
change is, that the Governor is shurt
OF money and wants to replenish his

naN, was stolen by some of the peni-
Tertiary convicts, who swan the river.
and carried it down the canal in tow of
another and larger boat. The convicts
were in charge Of two of the guards.
Mr.. Huffman is justly indignan. at
this outrage, as his property has not

the robbery and to the fact of the boat
being towed down towards the peni
tentiary.
