A Tale sf tbe Sea—Two of tlie Men of the Lost Steamer MissoarL The Jacksonville Republican gives an oooonnt of the finding by Captain Gid eon Low, of the sea boat “Ebenezer,” on Grand Key Island, two of the men from ihe los steamer Missouri. The captain was hunting on the island and discovered a hut. Near the hut he saw what he supposed to be a dead maa, bat on a nearer approach the person .raised nimsel: with great effort on his elbow, and giving a vacant stare, he ut tered, “Thank Grod, at last! I thong 1 my last hour had come.” Near by was the dead body of the other man. i hey left the Missouri on the 22d day of October, and, after many perils in leaky boat, landed on the island. They subsisted on spiders, crabs, snails and prickly pears. On tne seventh day after iandu-g, one uitfi. name was not known, but the letters A. S. were marked on his arm. The living one, by name Bichard Smith, was taken on board the captain’s vessel, and proper treatment soon restored him to his natural health, and. the Ebentzc-r being obliged to pnt back on account of storms, he was left 3.z Grteu Turtle Kej. in charge oi toe ueputy A-tatric t: C maul, who forwarded him to Nassau, Nqw Providence.

If that- maxim is true there must be alarge quan tity of true love “laying around loose” in this region. At least such a fact is indi cated by the frequent complaints entered before the magistrates recently. The chain of wedlock seems to gall not a few who would fain loose or break their shackles and be free as once they w< re. Most of these are of the colored class, who in many iustancss “agree to dis agree,” and come before a magistrate to adjudicate their differences.
