1’anic.-—i es,dear reader,there is a pan
ic in our city, not a Yellow Fever panic,
but a matrimonial panir. During the
last two or three weeks eight or ten cou
ples have been joined in the holy hands
of wedlock.
The white headed, the middled aged,
have like the young ones, acted under
the influence of'tj^e panic.
To all we wish a pleasant journey over
the sea of matrimony. We heartily con
gratulate you upon your new state of ex
istence, and sincerely hope that life to
you all may be one scene of perpetual
sunshine with Jno clouds to mar tire
bright sky of your existence. May peace,
prosperity and happiness attend you. and
may the dove of love ever linger near,
bringing joy and untold happiness.
Last night the steamer Roanoke
arrived at her wharf in Portsmouth, hav
ing on board an Engine for the “I’nion
Eire Company,” under the command of
Capt. John C. Rogers. This engine was
sent to New York about four months ago
to be rebuilt. We have seen many En
gines in our life, but we have never seen
one that could compare with the “Union’
in any manner. On the front of the en
gine is a beautiful picture, representing
the “Deluge;” on the back is one repre
senting “Air;” on the right hand side or
condenser case is one representing “Gai
ty;” on the left hand is one representing
“Youth;” on the front is one represen
ting “Commerce and Trade,” and on the
back is one representing an “Indian
Girl.”
The Company will parade in a slio.it
time, when our citizens will have a chance
of seeing this truly beautiful piece of
workmanship.
Suspicious.—Night before last about
7$ o’clock a small boat containing two
men pulled out from the wharf near the
Ferry and partially crossing the dock,
stopped as if waiting for something. On
the approach of the Ferry Boat it moved
backwards, as if intentionally, until it
gained a position immediately ahead of
the coming steamer, when it again be
came stationary. Fortunately the steamer
was stopped in time or else there would
have been a coroner’s jury to be summoned
the next day'. Those who occupied the
small boat evidently had some intention
for acting in such a strange manner.
Those who witnessed the behaviour of
the men looked upon them with much
.suspicion.
This morning a friend informed
ns that it was^rumored in the Navy Yard
that a large discharge would soon take
place in the stone mason’s department. The
foundation of the report is that a very
large quantity of stone has just arrived
at the Yard already dressed for use.
Why could it not have been shipped
here in its rough state, and worked up
by our own Mechanics, is a question yet
to be answered.
Accident to the Steamer Louis
iana.—We regret to have to announce
an accident to tins steamer, which hap
pened tIti- morning oil' the Horse Shoe, in
breaking nor shaft, which will cause her
to be hauled oil the line for 2 or 3 weeks.
She encountered very heavy weather
attended with snow on her passage last
night; which, however, had nothing to do
with the breaking of her shaft. We un
derstand this enterprising company in
tend chartering another steamer immedi
ately to put in her place, till the neeessu
I ry repairs are effected.
SvvKAitiNO,—This i. a pract.ire that m
man sin>uld have. il i an ugly one, ami
can iId no good for any man. but how
i mncli more is it revolting when we .heat
j small boys uttering all kinds of profane
| language. Yesterday as we were walk
■ ing around the city, looking for items we
came across a crowd of boys numbering
about eight or ten who were discussing
the question as to who should be the ow
ner of a poor half dead pigeon, which one
of them held in his hand—but such lan
guage as they made use of surpassed any
thing of the kind we ever heard. They
were not satisfied with cursing each other
—but were actually cursing each others
Mother. Actuated by feelings of pity,we
spoke to them and told them that it was
very wrong to use such language, when
one little fellow about six years of age
looked us in the face and asked if we had
anything to do with it. We came to
the conclusion to continue on our journey.
“Mistakes will happen,” tec.—Mr.
das. JO. Jones was after us about a mis
take in his advertisement of hams yester
day. He wrote that the hams are selling
at 16 cents, and the compositor made
him say 12 cents per lb.
We notice w.th much pleasure,
that the Ferry boat “Norfolk,’'’ was placed
on the line yesterday. The Norfolk lias
been thoroughly repaired and is now in a
fine condition.
The steamer “Union,” has been with
drawn from tin* line for repairs, and after
she is finished the steamer “Portsmouth”
will undergo tile necessary repairs.
Fight.-—Last night on High Street,
Portsmouth about seven o’clock, a crowd
of Marines numbering eight—under the
influence at king alcohol, got into a dis
pute together; words ran high, and in a
short time they had a regular knock
down and drag out. There is no telling
Imw Min “muss” would have ended, had
not some gentlemen intel'ered, and put a
stop to their proceedings.
The Weather.—Yesterday, as has
been before announced was a very
disagreeable day; last night about 8 o’
clock it commenced raining and contin
ued until half past four o’clock this morn
ing, the wind changing to Northwest. At
seventeen minutes past seven o’clock this
morning we had the pleasure of bidding
old “Sol” a welcome, and at present wri
ting we have every promise of a clear and
agreeable day.
