manned in port Monday night, on nc
count Of heavy weather, and as she
was born fifteen years ago, she was
wise in SO doing.

A good many hunters from below
are in this section for the purpose Of
killing deer for sport. They have a
number Of hounds with them, and we
wonder if all those hounds will return
home, or whether many of them will
remain permanently located here.
