iSeaaoorthy.-A local appeared in the
GAZETTE of yesterday stating that re-
ported mutiny had taken place at Lewes,
Delaware, and that surveyor Goodrich
and q. s. Shipping commissioner Young
of Philadelphia, lad gone to the Break
watee to examine into the case. .s...
Upon arriving at their destination, the
surveyor found that it was not case of
mutiny but that sailors on board of the
vessel had protested to the captain that
she was not seaworthy, and according TO
law he was obliged to put into the nearest
port, and summon a surveyor. Mr.
Goodrich made thorough survey of the
vessel and found her perfectly seaworthy
The sailors who must pay for the delay
yielded reluctant obedience, and the
vessel left for her destination-Genva.

A Bulldog Kills an Alligator.

One day last week an alligator was seen
swimming in Sampit river, near tho
wharf Captain David Steele's bull dog
was soon brought forward, and, upon
viewing the enemy, plunged off the wharf
to meet it. The alligator saw what was
up, and made for the dog. While they
approached each other, not sound could
be heard from the spectators, who were
expecting the moment they met to see
the dog submerged, never to rise again !;
but the dog got the first hold, plunged
his ugly teeth in the head OF the ierocious
monster, and caused it to sink. 1t soon
reappeared, looking as fierce as ever.
The dog and the alligator were soon mouth
and mouth. nip and tuck, until it was
thought that the dog had conquered, the
alligator disappearing. The dog, being
exhausted, was then picked up by boat:
The gator, however, soon appeared, and
made for the opposite shore. Several
persons got in boats and pursued him un-
til he got under the wharf, VIXEN one OF
the party fired a pistol, and as soon as
the report was heard, the dog leaped from
the boat and under the wharf. 1t was
nip and tuck again for awhile, but the
dog, soon gaining the advantage, brought
out his foe dead. The reptile measured
five feet and several inches.-Georgeto'0n
