these few patches of reefs. In calm and
clear evenings. when there is not rip
pie on the CLASSY surface of The sea, you

water and sec submerged houses, towers

quietly ir and out of the open windows

by tales of untold wealth buried beneath
the sea by this sudden shock, rescued

same to the museum Of the island,

the bill and advertised for an owner re-
peatedly. but no one claiming it ho in-
vested it in city stock. Several false
claimants appeared for the note, and it
was the subject of several lawsuits,
which terminated in Mr.. Cobb remain

had a large Wen on the side other neck,
when. in fact, she was mulatto and had
no such wen. Shortly after very dark
woman with q large wen on her neck,
appcare from the Baltimore alm-house
and claimed that she was the Sarah
Ridgely, but the fraud was easily cx-
posed, and up to this time the woman
who left the bill has not been heard
from. Mr.. Cobb allowed the money to
remain with accumulated interest until
1866. when il amounted to So. 3.740, and
he then presented it to tho Union Or

the largest audience that has lately been
seen there assembled to witness the
above named excellent Club in their
representation of the four-act religious
drama Of "C9cilia, the Virgin Martyr"

manifested by that vast assemblage as
they witnessed the excellent, and in
some instances, the masterly interpreta-

play by the actors.
