On Thursday July 25th, while
returning from Baltimore with a
load of coal for Douglass Bros
factory, the pungy William b. Coul-
bourne. belonging to Herbert McNeal
and commanded by Capt. Pearlie
Waller, sprang leak just above
Smiths Point. A heavy wind was
blowing, which gradually increased
to gale. Everything was done by
the brave young Captain and his
crew, consisting of Edwin Corsa aud
colored man, TO keep the boat afioat
and make either Reedville or Coan
harbor, but it could not be done and
so the boat was beached on the
Potomac shore. The yswl boat was
lowered but could not live and the
three sailors had to swim for shore,
which they reached in safety, thank
tul that they had escaped a watery
grave. Efforts were made the next
lay to save the vessel but availed
nothing as she was perfect loss.

AN OYSTER resolution introduced
IN the Constitutional Convention by
Mr.. Bristow, of Middlesex, will be
found under our Convention pro.
ceedings. The oyster matter had to
come up sooner or later, but we
would like to have seen the initial
steps taken by some representative
Democrat in the Convention. Aside
from the fact that Mr.. Bristow is n
Underwater man, he is a Republican.
How far this fact may influence
members Of the Convention we do
not know. 1t may be the cause of
developing serious opposition, and il
may not. The first of Mr.. Bristow's
views will find favor with the ma.
]ority of the tongmen-that no tax
be required for catching oysters
but what he wins in their affections
through it he throws away by his
proposition to open the State to out
slders = not indiscriminately, it is
true, but quite as an entering wedge.
The oyster question will afford
ample subject for discussion soon
enough, so it is not we'll to let
Mr.. Br;stcw open it up any earlier
than can be possibly helped.
