Woodruff at Washington Depot for the cultiva- tion of four acres of tobacco and one acre of potatoes the coming summer on MT Woodruff's land near New Preston Railroad station.

wreckage Of vessels of every kind
and it is impossible to approach Reg

of twelve miles from the city the
roads, bridges and foctraths have
been destroyed. Even the face OF
the country has been changed.
1t has been impossible to get into

not from their injuries, but of slow
