Noah Henderson, colored, who
lives in LaVilla, pulled a bunch of
Augustine grapes, weighing three
pounds, from his vines this morning.
This variety is very superior table
grape, and grows luxuriantly and
bears profusely. We are surprised
that it is not more extensively culti-
vated.- Union.
The Hattie, we learn from Capt
Joe. Marzyck, who left the above ILL
tated steamer this morning; that she
is fast breaking up and going to
pieces. The furniture, bedding, etc,
have been saved and the machinery
will all be taken out. The Hattie
was built in this city about twenty
years ago, and was perhaps worth
$1,000 She is far enough out of the
channel to offer no obstruction to
navigation, LNio2'.
We had the pleasure of meeting last
Friday, Mr.. Geo. M. Howell, Esq, of
Gettysburg, Pa, who is here tor the
purpose OF securing large tract of
Governmentland somewhere in South
Florida Tor the location OF a large
colony, which viii probable comprise
$50 persons. We hope the people
of Orange county will lend him every
aid in their power to secure him To-
cation, as his colony will be COM
posed OF an intelligent, enterprsing
and thrifty class OF people. Mr.. c.
E. Sawyer took him out in the Sor-
rento neighborbood on Saturday,
and other portions of the county will
be visited.-SOuth Florida Journal.
A large family Of very unwelcome
intruders have recently, without
permission of the owner OF the prem
ises, taken possession OF the residence
of Mr.. G. B. Benedict. Every at
tempt at their expulsion has been
met with determined resistance, and
they appear resolved to maintain
their illegal occupancy. In other
words, a huge colony OF bald headed
hornets have established a nursery in
his dwelling and have increase TO such
an extent that, having consumed the
space between the ceiling and weather
boarding, they are now extending
their domicile on the piazza MIR.
Benedict, from actual experience,
thinks that their attentions are very
pointed Union. &
