Officer Dchrest had a little skirmish with

The gross proceeds of the evening’s enter-

.It is thought by many that this gang
may be implicated in the recent dcpreda-_

it seems hardly probable as most of them
were sailors who came into this port that

their determination to sell their lives as
dearly as possible, they stood in breathless
suspense, watching the tree, every instant
expecting a panther, or leopard, or at least
a bloodthirsty- whangdoodle to pounce up-

About this time the youngest sportsman

the happy discovery that he was still alive.

a tailor would be around in a few days to
take the measure of the purchaser and
take the goods to make up, which would
be done ata greatly reduced price. He
showed four pieces of cloth to one gentle-
man, the price being for two of the pieces
$45 each,__and for the other two $20 and
$13 respectively. After much talk in en-
deavoring to ipersuadc the gentleman to
purchase the $45 piece, he offered to pre-

last ofler aroused considerable suspicion
and no bargain was consummated. This
