Yesterday forenoon, about half
past ten, residents Of this city we're
startled by several cannon shots.
1t is nothing unusual to hear one
shot from the incoming steamers, but
three or four or five in succession is
something entirely out OF the usual
experience. Much speculation was
the result and all sorts of theories
were advanced. Some suggested that
q British man-of-war had come into
port and was about to settle the fish
cries question, but had been blown out
OF the water by the United States
gunboat Humphreys, commanded by
Captain Brown. 1t was eventually
learned that the firing was on board
the Norwegian bark Jerusalem. As
the name indicates, the vessel is an
old timer, and like the merchantmen
of years ago carries cannon, plenty
OF blank cartridges, il not canister
and no telling how many terrible cut
lasses and other instruments OF death
that used to be provided against
the bold, bad pirates on the high
seas or the low seas. 1t is explained
that the captain of the Jerusalem or
dered this firing simply to attract
attention to the fact that be had got
down the river with q full cargo fol
his vessel and no lighterage. The
Jerusalem registers 901 tons and the
fact that that is one more ton thar
800 certainly justi1es the captain II
his extraordinary iubilation. Tbs
