1013 - H Dec. 27: 1/2 - Manager John Ellsler was presented with a beauti-
ful cane by R. Doty on Dec. 24. The cane is highly prized for tºe fact . .
that it was cut by the brother of Mr. Doty in one of the South Sea is-
lands, and that the brother was afterwards lost on the CUMBERLAND, when
she was sunk by the MERRIMAC in 1861. He fired the last gun on the fri-
gate before she sank. - - - - - - (2)
