 The wind was playing great pranks yesterday The maximum speed was thirty-six miles an hour, but some of the oysternen who went down the har- boz in the morning said that it seemed as if it was blowing at the rate of 50 miles an hour easy. About a dozen boats, including the Fair Haven and the City Point fleets, went down in the morning to work on the oyster beds, bu tthe gale was too fierce and they had had to give it up and return to their moorings. They reported quite a fleet of craft in tn clover harbor and all remain last evening. Oystermen say that the gale will not injure the oys- ter beds from the mud covering the oysters.
