which is quite common to the oak trees
of the Virginia forests, and fine speci-

in the Washington markets this season
of the year. Mr. Hill's bough, however,
was eclipsed by a monster specimen
which the happy groom himself climb-
edto'the altitude of twenty feet to cut
from a forest tree in Alabama, and
which he brought us a rare trophy to his
bride. This enormous bough filled n

specimen of the curious growth even
seen north of Mason and Dixon's line.

New Your. Den. co.+—'I'}ie Herald pub.-
lishes the following letter from Alfredo
bubonic. the captain of the Competitor;
On April 10 I was engaged to command
the schooner Competitor of Key West, and
on the 16th I went with the owner and my
license to the custom-house to clear the
vessel for Lemon City (Miami). We start-
ed the following morning at tl o'clock and
went out as far as the hell buoy. Finding
that the vessel was leaking bhdly, We put
back for repairs. I had only four sailors,
and the pinup was the very bad condition.
On Saturday morning we hauled on the
ways and remained there until / Monday
morning ate o'clock, waiting for the high
tide. We commenced at that time to haul
oil the ways. At,“ o'clock we hauled to
the dock to take on Eli passengers for Lom-
on City. They at once came on board, and
we proceeded on the voyage. Next day we
had head winds and anchored off ' Big Bu-
hlu Honda at 7 o'clock in the morning.
We were there until the following morn-
ing. when we started again, at 5 u. m.
We got abreast of Cape Sable at ll o‘clock
in the morning, when it fell dead calm
again. I was in the cabin, when five of
the passengers come to me with revolvers
in their hands and told me that I had to
give up the captaincy. They mode inc
prisoner, not allowingr me to go on deck.
.At that time the male was on watch at
the wheel. Five passengers went to him
and compelled him to anchor.
After awhile three boats came off with
men and loaded down to the gunwnlca
with boxes and rifles. We lay there all
night and got under way in the morning:
at 4 o’clock, whou'thoy come to mo and
asked me the route for the lie-homo. light
I took the chart and told thom the route.
'l‘hoy Went on (lock and gave the route to
the mate.

We arrived at the lightlmuso the follow
lug morning at it o'clock. There they told
me to steer for Cape Antonio, as they
wanted to loud at Puntu dol Frolic, south
of Cuba, but this they changed to l’uutn
liormeos. at which place we arrived at
noon on Saturday, both.
Before we nrrlvud at rum llcrrnm;
they allowed mo to cullln on deck to stoor
the schooner, us thou-owns no pilot aboard
and it was a very dangerous place to go in
the channel. Then the party pun-coded to
loud, forcing we to get into the first boot
with them. The boats made about four
trips.
I told the party that i had to no on
board, because everything: was too slow.
and I wanted to got. away no quickly u.»
we could. I was allowed to do so and was
speaking with the mute on deck and toll
innr him that a gunbont end is lnut'h were

came around the point and uonuuclmvd to
