Returning, the ST. Nicholas left Beaufort
at D. m, and reached her wharf about s

delightful, particularly on the return,
when a bIaciDg breeze blew steadily
from the ocean. Excellent order prevailed.

Dramatic Association will take place at the
Savannah Theatre tomorrow Tuesday, eve
ming, followed by a matinee on Wednesday
afternoon. An unusually strong bill has
been designed for the occasion, and been CIV
en- careful rehearsal for several weeks past.
There will be one hundred and fifty valuable
prizes distributed at the night entertainment
and one hundred at the matinee. Tickets
for the night 81 and matinee only fifty cents.
Aside from the fine bill offered, and the
value Of the prizes, the Fords are deserving
of liberal patronage, as they have always
been foremost in rendering aid to any chart
table Objects when their services were
needed, and we hope they will be so en-
coursged that they will shortly appear again
on our boards. From present indications
the entire number of their tickets will be
sold, and we therefore advise those who
nave not yet secured tickets to do so with
out delay or they may be left. The adver-

Words cannot make dearer the memory OF the

The tear of age, the sigh OF suffering, the sti-

a more fitting tribute for one whose life thus
closed in early manhood combined all that was
faithful, kind. jealous and true. OF him may
it with truth be said:
