MYSTERIOUS VESSELS, | An evening paper publishes the follow- ing: Ai American fishing vessel arrived | olf Halifax Saturday evening, and attracted | much aitention by displiying unusual sige | nals. She proceeded in as fur as York, re- doubled, and holding off and on during the night, was a mystery to the men at the mil- itary signal stations, ‘Then she came to an- chor immediately off.Point Pleasant, and after daylight her name) was made out to be the Alsilla, Some of her crew came ashore | ina boat, and were loating about the Point. They told some of the engineers stationed at e torts there that they were looking for bait. While the schooner was off late Sat- urday evening the guard at the Point Bat- tery were aroused by a ferryman from the North-West Arm boathouse, who reported that the grass by the shore was on fire. aad there was danger of it spreading around and into the battery. | A.corporaland five men were sent. and successfully extinguished it. It was supposed to be set on tire by a careless mutch from some loafing smoker, bu others siid it had been set by a boat’s crew from’ the schooner, and might. hove been asignal. [tis a coincidence that two or three ‘other -American schooners have been at Anchor up the:-Arm for some time previously. and on Sunday: afternoon one of them came around te the eity. Heavy guns were heard firing in «the direction ot the Point at noon on Sunday, and were sup- posed to be from some of the forts there, as if for ball practice, but this was not acknawl- edged by the guards, . However, the Alsilla disappeared on Sunday night without ‘re- porting herself here. Until navigation is again opened through lock No.2 of theold Welland canal, now being rebuilt, no extra charge for canal tolls will be made upon vessels that are compelled to go round via Allenburg in order to reach St. Catharines from Lake Ontario. \This order will chietly effeet and benefit the smill class of vessels that carry lumber from Lake ports to St. Catharines. “ Perhaps the most judiciously edited imag- azine in:‘the World.’’—THE National, N.
