The steamer Weston was rather late
in her arrival, not reaching this city
until Sunday afternoon. This was
due to the storm. Many boats, the
Weston among them, that started from

wind. She came up Sunday, however,
in the wake of the steamer Virginia,
Notwithstanding a bad sea.
A lady and gentleman living in Ra-

the storm were pushing their wheels at

the whole posse were piled up one

wheels in an inextricable tangle. The
rain came and soaked them before
they could free themselves.
A man in the employ of Joseph
Mavar was the victim of a lively runa-
way Sunday. He and another fellow
had been feasting on hard cider and
thought they would race their horses
on the way home. Accordingly they
put their nags into run. The one
