Heitry'■ Cox of this city. ’Tis now on exhibition at Me Conn &.Marlin’s, and will be raffled in a few days. . ■■ -i ■ —Thieves still prowl around this town. They are no respecters of per- sous, but go for all alike—legislators, Counoilmen and all. Blue is after one fellow with a sharp stick. —Friend Grubb of the Gazette says that our people are soon to have an invitation to visit Darien and partake °f the hospitalities of that city. We hope (hat he is not mistaken. —“Hot and dry” is still the cry. Say, City Fathers, can’t yon give Newcastle street “a wettin’?" We will have no shell road before long, if this drought continues. —Don’t forget to go to Lebcn’s, young man, before starting to see your sweetheart. She would appre flinty a package of those choice cau dle.-. We know they are nioe, for we have tried them. —Mr. Aymar has just fini-hedtlse pulpit for the 1 a/ e.i Presbyterian Church. The style is similar to that oi the Prosbyteriau Church of this city, with very few improvements ad ded. Mr. P. has quite a reputation in that line. _ The ladies of ?ha Mite Society will give another of those delightfnl entertainments for which they ore so famous, on Friday night (16th inst.) at the residence of Mr .Wm. Dart on Union «t. Come ono and all, and lei us have a good time. —Thanks to friend Powell for the finest specimen of watermelon sent us this season. It weighed 27* pounds. A few knowing ones hinted to us a few days ago, that they had hud bigger ones. Now we don’t car • “a hill of beans” i abort their bigger ones, for they took good care not to even let us •eethem, much less taste a piece. Nev- • er mind, friends, we forgive you this time, especially if you will try and beat friend P, Come now, * ‘fetch tun’ JnhrisUy, Devil Fish. Whilst Judge Jn'o. L. Harris was fishing last Week at Dart’s Landing, he hooked one of those hideous mon sters known as "devil fish.” He de scribes it as being about five feet in length and about six feet from tip to tip, with great huge eyes resembling goggles, protn.di.tg out of its head. Its tail about four feet long and two inches in;, diameter at the body and tapering to a point. Its arms much like its tail, an I its enti e body striped • across wiih different dolors.. The Judge was fishing forsheepheud when the ugly monster seized his line and .started off.- The sudden jerk given when t te line-became taut so fright ened the creature that it sprang at least fo ir feet out of the water into the air, giving Judge Harris a.fair- view of its proportions. Wo iieed,noi add that the fislrng line was snapped as easily as. a thread and Mr. “Devil , Fish” disappeared from view ’nealh the briny waters of Wilson’s Creek. The impression made on the mind of our worthy Judge must have been strong and lasting, for he obs< r/ed, after describing the entire scene, to one of our city past< rs, “Sir, if you had seen that monster as I. beheld it, you would firid’no trouble pext Sun j day in portraying the ‘Old Fellow* in such glowing colors, as to arougq the hardest sinner.'” . . rJ j Since, writing the aboye we have! been informed by Mr. Cooper that 5 ,ii s monster is not a d'lvil fishbut.u^. j rf the same family (R.iy)‘kaow^s ; il e Whip.ur. J . | A, Big Day. ■ '! 01 Ju’y 9th was indeed a big day for Brunswick. •, jWofk. whs suspended and ; our peoplo, together with a large ex cursion party from along the line of theB. & A. B. B., entered upon.the. pleasures of the day determined.upon, a good time. First on the list was the ; race In-tween the Henrietta, the Bet- f , sey and the' June L., os published in former issue. The race was an excit- £ ing oue, indeed, to many, hut espe cially so to those who had “planked their money.” The trip arouud the marsh island (7 miles) was made by the Henrietta in ono hour and nine minutes, and by the Betsey in one hour, nine minutes and thirty seconds The Jane L. abandoned the race before she reached the judges’ stand, conse quently her time was not taken. The next eventof the day wus the Grand Parade through our streets, of the Oceanic Fire Company, which, to our simple mind, was a nobler sight, by far, than all the boat races this side of next January. Its presence speaks .volumes for the safety of our prop erty. We looked with'pride upon the Oceaniesas they moved along with engine all decorated. They are in deed a fine body of men, and should have all the encouragement they need, not only from our City Fathers, but from our citizens, whose property they stand ready to protect at all haz- i.rds. The appeal of the Foreman for material aid was warm and earnest. We involuntarily felt for oar old pock et-book, but alas! to our sorrow, re* membered we were an editor. Never mind, Oceanics, we “made a resolu tion.” Of the Ball, the last—and to many the greatest event of the day—we are unable to say much, from the foot that we were not present. We learn, how ever, that it proved a success, and netted the Company $100. Long lire the Oceanics! GENERAL-ITEMS. Another steamship lost. The Saranac—offVancouvers Island. No lives lost. 4@"*Jessie Pomeroy—the Boston boy murderer—is to be hung at an early day. JBSy-Monticello, Fla., had a very destructive fire on the 8th. Nine bus iness houses were destroyed.
