THE schooner Governor Stockley
went ashore at Benefits pier on last
Friday night. She was got Off at
eleven O'clock next day without dam
age to vessel or cargo. The wind was
blowing heavy squall with a rough
sea, and the vessel became unmanag-

LAST Friday Roland Carlisle was
down at Slaughter Beach, and he saw
a fish hawk make repeated attempts
to raise fish out of shallow pool of
water on the flats His curiosity led
him to walk out on the flats to the
spot, where he found an extraordinary
sized mackerel floundenng. He Sc
cured the prize that the hawk was un-
able to capture and brought it home.
IN every mans life, we presume,
there are odd little moments in which
he finds it impossible to call up just
the exact name, or word, he may de-
sire to speak or write to convey his
ideas correctly. Last week we were in
Just such a condition when we used
the word Levy CourW in a local,
when it should have been "Grand
Juror" Thanks TO our neighbOr for
calling our attention to it.
MIR. BEREE, of the Shawnee farm,
has bought a piece Of land of Harris
Paige,and intends to erect on it two
thousand dollar house. Mr.B.is largely
interested in poultry, he has about three
hundred hens and expects to increase
his flock to fifteen hundred and exper-
iment with an incubator.
Mr.. Harry Walton, in the same
neighborhood,i is also largely interested
in poultry, giving more attention to
spring 'iclIens than eggs.
A few days ago we were shown a

IVA, the lal year of the reign of Queen
Anne. y Noos little boob d Sehes
: ..EeeA VIDE, and about one
fourth of an inch thick, bound in
leather, with a small brass clasp. Be

tions, there was list of the Sovereigns

Of matrimony by the Rev. J. s. VIII

strictly private, only the immediate re-

icles so many of these blissful events
without return. The Chronicle re-

at first hesitaled to destroy such thing
of beauty, but the thought Of the sweet
ness enclosed overcame all scruples
and the office enjoyed a delightful
treat, for which the young couple have
our thanks and best wishes for their
iiusure health and happiness.
