and Increasing.
BRUNSWICK. Jan. 22.-Since my last many
things of interest have occurred, of which l
have endeavOred to keep you informed by
telegraph. Death has exacted a terrible
tribute, and his shafts fell quickly in our
midst as to startle the most needless. 1t is
sOmbre work for the correspondent to con-
stantly record the darker chapters of current
history, and your readers will overlook my
failure to keep up regular letters.

Colonel Risley have all passed away within a
few weeks. There have been several acci-
dental deaths, some of which were shocking in
detail. The aged mother of Messrs- j. and NJ.

arrived from Europe, died suddenly on Thurs
day of last week of heart disease, it is sup
posed, -. - ~, ,,,. ,,,.,. o,o,..
All the elections have been held. Business
has been improving and increasing. Immense
quantities of fertilizers, cotton, naval stores,

aggregate more than double that of any pre-
viOus year. There are now over forty vessels,
all nearly of unusually heavy tonnage, dis
charging and loading at the various docks.
