chung to his post longer than he
should have. Last January he was
obliged TO seek the mild air Of

he got about with much difficulty,
he soon secured land and made
arrangement to have a home built.
He moved into his new home in
August, but was not long 10 enjoy

last few months, the end coming
peacefully at noon, Saturday, No

There was report going the
rounds yesterday, to the effect that
Captain Calhoun, of the bark Cey-
lon, was going to be held to answer
for carrying away Arthur Feather
stone, the escaped convict Mar
shall Hitchcock stated yesterday
that he had not seen Capt. Calhoun.
He would investigate the case, how
ever, and if he was satisfied that
there was collision between the
captain and Featherstone, he would
act. It is safe to say that nothing
will be done, as the general opinion
seems TO be that the master Of the
vessel is innocent Of any wrong
doing.
