A ROugh Passage.

The schooner Mary e Van Cleaf, Captain
Thorndike, from Matanzas to this port with
molasses, had severe passage. She run into
Holmes Hole about fifteen days ago and re-
NAMED until last Thursday. Since that time
she has been trying to make this port. Satur-
day afternoon the gale took her and she had
hard time to keep off the Cape shore. The
captain carried all the sail he dared to and sue
ceeded in keeping clear of the shore. While
running out to sea he ran his vessel between
Corwin Rock and Aden's Rock, feat proba-
bly, never performed by a vessel of her size be-
fore. The buoys were both gone and the cap.
tain did not know where he was until he was
just between them. The sea was breaking
over them, aud it is wonder how the vessel
ever escaped. After passing this place the
captain run down off Green Island and an
chored. Yesterday morning he got under way
at four o'clock aud came into this harbor. All
of the sails and rigging on the fore part of the
vessel were carried away, and it was with diff
Guilty that she was handled at all. The cargo
was unipjured.

How to Catch Hawks,

As the season is approaching when
hawks are most destructive to young
poultry method of catching and kill
ing these marauders will be in order.
1t is a well-known fact that a hawk
will always light on some conspicuous
place close to the poultry yard from
which to swoop down on his victims.
Taking advantage of this erect pole
with flat surface at the top just large
enough to hold strong steel trap.
Fasten this trap by a chain to staple
in the pole and await results. No bait
will be needed for the hawk will be
quite certain to light on the trap and
be caught. A gentleman who has tried
this method has succeeded in killing
all the hawks in his neighborhood and
can now raise poultry without loss ex.
cept by accident.
