  15. ↑ "In our last number we omitted to mention a most diabolical attempt which was made upon the house of Mr. George Trefry, at Jebogue. The particulars, as far as we could learn are these: -- On Saturday night, the family of Mr. Trefry were aroused by the smell of fire, and proceeded to search the house, in order to discover the cause, but without sucess. About 2 o'clock, Mr. T. happening to open the front door, discovered a maroon in his porch, but providentially the fire had gone out within a few inches of the powder. It had evidentally been formed by a person acquainted with the business, being bound closely with twine, and with broken pieces of crockery attached to the ends, and containing about a pound and a half of powder!! Had an explosion taken place, particularly which the family were assembled in the entry, it is impossible to say what the consequences might have been. As this is not the first thing of the kind which has occurred, it is time, we imagine, that the perpetrators were looked after, and brought to [?] punishment -- as the person who could be guilty of such an act, would as soon, if it had answered his purpose, make use of personal violence. -- Yarmouth Herald - April 19, 1834

  77. ↑ SIR, -- / WE, the undersigned, Passengers with you on board the Saxe Gotha from the Western Ports of this Province, in drawing near to the close of a voyage which had from combining circumstances been a pleasant and agreeable trip, wish ere we separate to convey to you our congratulations on your present command, and to express our satisfaction at the additional capabilities both as to speed and safety which have been effected in the vessel prior to her appearance this season. We have been pleased with the attention and urbanity of the Commander and Officers, as well as the expedition with which our short trip has been effected -- and we trust that the slight accident which on this occasion created a trifling delay in the first part of the voyage, will not prevent her usefulness being appreciated by the public. We venture to suggest that the arrangement should be so complete as to secure promptitude in her appearance at her Ports when expected -- and shall follow yourself and the vessel with our best wishes -- while we remain &c. &c.
