bought another good place Of
Of 100 acres, and besides I own
and operate an up-tO date gin and
mill; and should my land and
other interests be placed upon the

around $50, 600.

Scare on an Ark.

The storm which broke over this CITY
and neighborhood yesterday evening
caused considerable CONSERVATION upon
the large ark anchored on the flats a
short distance north of Fort FoUie. A
ugboat with a number of patrons was
in the act of coming alongside the floating
resort when the wind caused the tug and
ark to collide with force. There was
a binding fash of lightning synchronouss
with the collision, aud the Jingle OF
broken bottles and glasses, which had
been caused by the conclusion incident
to the collision, was supposed by all on
the ark TO have been the result OF a
stroke of lightning. There was dis
position OIL the part of some OF the COM
pany to resolve themselves into a prayer
meeting or Bible class, and cards doml-
noes, &C., lay on the tables unused
Subsequently several Alexandrlans EN-
barked in a small boat for home, but
their fraiI craft was swamped few yards
from the shipyard. All finally reached
terra firma, one of the party, however,
minus a pair of shoes.
