giving accounts of the prevalence
OF great distress among the peo-

quence of war brought through the
hostility of native tribes. 1t further

with the wild natives, giving them
encouragement, and a number of
English traders have been supply

view Of these facts a committee
waited upon President Grant, and
asked that a ship Of war be sent to

sympathizing with the colony,
informed the committee that sew.

ordered thither for the purpose of
patrolling the coast in order to the
protection of their maritime inter.

American Colonization Society as
a free colony for the blacks in

The pistols were seven chambered revolv.

and three Of the other were emitted. An
ambulance was telcgraphed for, and Jar.
oslow was taken to Bellevue Hospital, bnt
died in the ambulance while on his way

such claim is known, and the fact that

1t is now the walnut season. We, in

imagine how delicious arc the almonds,

are fresh and green; and Why we, do not
have them is marvel to me, for I
believe all of them will grow in this
country. But the difference between
them fresh and dried, is the difference of
two fruits. From now until about

where many IN hour is passed over them
