A Wonderful Memory.
There are not many people who can
recall events of half a century ago with
distinctness, when such Is the esse the
events are likely to lose in the descrlp.
tlon or else be exsggerated in the narra
tion. Three remarkable events were told at
this office yesterday aa having occurred
here in the years 1855, 1856 and 1857,
and will bear telling to the general
reader. Those whose residence in the
city goes bsck beyond that period, will
have an opportunity to refresh their
memory, or at least be put to some very
bard thinking. The facts relate to nat
ural events, and are as follows:
In the year first named, 1855, there
was a great flood tide, In which the
water rose on Middle street as far as
Broad street, meeting the tide up Broad
street so that all below the Intersection
was a flood of waters.
In the following there was a gale of
wind, or some such cause that caused
a stage of low water that persons could
walk across the bed of Trent liver op
posite the city, with exception of one
place which could be jumped across.
In the next year, 1857, there was s
great freeze in which the rivers and
sounds froze, and that the Ice was three
and a half feet thick, and people went
from here to Hstteras on the Ice.
It is desired that these astonishing
facts should be corroborated by several
eminent and satisfactory citizens who
are still with us. One trust worthy gen
tleman on whom we generally rely for
our remlnscences said that be did not
remember the occurences himself but
that it is quite possible that they did oc
cur, perhaps during the glacial period.
Large Tobacco Sale.
The sales of tobacco at the Farmers'
Warehouse yesterdsy were tbi largest
of any day since Christmas, and prices
were the best.
One grower received better than
twelve cents averages for his tobacco.
Farmers will find a good marset for
their tobacco In this city at the Farmers
Tobacco Warehouse.
Tbree Boys in a Boat.
Three boys were sailing In a boat In
the river at a point off Pollock street
yesterday afternoon when the boat cap
sized with them. The boat was a small
skill and they were playing la It and
causedthe boat to tip over.
Fortunately none ot the boys fell Into
into the water, and only one of them got
his feet wet. The cutter crew saw their
dilemma and went to their rescue, haul
lng In the capsized skiff.
