ing her vile and insulting names. she
says that not content with this, her hus.

partment The Cape Charles light, which 10
one OF the most important on the coast,

The Thimble light. near Fort Monroe also
required little attention, though for a time
last winter il was thought ii would be SER
tously injured by the ice jam. Cape Heary
light Is IN good condition. Lambert's Point
light was discontinued during the year al
IL proved OF little value. The Wolf Trap
light was completely carried away, but re-
Gently contracts have been made for the
erection OF light TO replace the old one.
Smith Point light also sustained severe darn
age by the ice. but repairs were made which
puts the light in fine condition. The lights
along the Potomac river are reported 10 l.e
well kept and in good condition. Few re-
pairs were necessary during the year, and
these were of an unimportant character
Recommendation is made that a light house
be established on the stretch between Cove

on the Blackstone Island light in the Po-

Among these East Indians there's a very

ready crept into print. The other lay, as
he was absorbed in producing IN elaborate
