A shark, of the man eating species,
vas seen, 8 few days since, by Capt.

the river at the piers every evening,
especially that portion of them who do
not desire to 60 on wooden leg all the
days of their lives. They will keep
out of the water during Shark season.

occurred recently. Two workmen we're
