DIR. Ambrose Lawrence, of this city,

authenticated as one of pair owned by

house in which he lived stood on the
corner of King and Canterbury streets
in that city. During his absence IN

was torn down and rebuilt of brick,
and has since been burned and again
rebuilt. Then it was that this warlike
relic of its owner was secured, and hay-

known parties, who indorse its history,
recently passed into the hands Of the
above-named gentleman. who exhibited
it in this Office. The weapon is OF the

arm was usually carried in pairs, but the
