when you are embarked and fairly at

with the best consequences to reform
such a custom and to suffer traveller

preparations in quietness, to set apart
few days, when these are finished, and
to receive their good wishes for his

1t is not always in ones power to

All sailors entertain an opinion
which has undoubtedly originated for
merly from a want of water, and when
it has been found necessary to be spar

they have drunk enough; and that when
water is given them at discretion, they
generally kill themselves by drinking
beyond measure. In consequence of
this opinion they give them water only
once in two days, and even then in small
quantities: but as they pour this water
into troughs inclining on one side,
which occasions it to run to the lower
part, it thence happens that they are
obliged to mount one upon the back of

CRESTVIEW.

Crestview, Fla, August 16.-A
large concourse of relatives and
friends followed the remains of Mrs.
Wallace, wife of W. G. Wallace, of
Crestview, to the Crestview cemetery,
where she, after an impressive fun
eral service, held by Rev. Wilkes,
was gently placed to her last resting
place, meath the many floral offer
ings. Mrs Wallace leaves to mourn
her untimely death her husband and
two little children, one, Clinton, a
little boy aged eight, and the other,
an infant only three weeks old; also
she leaves an aged mother and father
and a number of sisters and brothers.
Besides these Mrs. Wallace numbered
her friends by her acquaintances; she
therefore had her place to fill in the
town as we'll as in her home, and
she shall always be thought of as
filling the place in heaven.
Mr. and Mrs. Hare are now COM
fortably domiciled in their new home,
which is built on the California bun
galow style, and is rightfully looked
upon as the prettiest home in Crest
view at present, though Crestview
has prospects of others in the near
future.
