sary Of the esteemed host We cen not
doubt that the-guests will reap hearty en-
ioyment from the reunion and will have
special reason to wish Mr.. Iawless and

While fishing in the river. near the ferry
landing, on Thursday, Capt. Raphael Mousse
caught a very large specimen of fish
commonly known as the stingaree, which
measured 3S15 inches in length, including
its tail, and IS inches III width. The Cap
tain says it is the largest stingaree he has
ever seen, and as he is a veteran sailor and
river man, we conclude that the speci-
men is indeed remarkable for its size.

Chapel again on Sunday, and a large con-
