It was made of inch-and-a-half planking, solidly spiked together with 2O-penny nails !, and was 1Sx40 inches in size. Of course Harry will appreciate the shoes, but hel wonder what in thunder Greif wanted to ship his winters firewood all the way from ] WTangell 10 Petersburg for.

 Messrs. Woodbridge k Lowery came in from their Ham Island marble quarries last week for a few days stay in town. They brought with them one of the prettiest pieces of clouded marble that was ever seen in any mans country. It is about six inch es square and two feet long, very dark and takes beautiful polish.
