FREE :an, Umlor the trees that afternoon, Across the meadows aDd down the lane Sloped the sun to the west full soon, Never a shadow nor cloud of pain : A seaman fell overboard lrom the English war steamer Ariadne, and a cutter was sent in search of him. At the time there was so heavy a sea on that the cuttcr capsized. The heavy sea completely prevented the Ariadne, a long ship, from bcin? steered close to the struggling men, and the first cutter was accordingly manned. To the horroa of every one, this boat, as she was .being lowered* was stove In—the officers and men being precipitated into the water. Two officers and eleven men were thus straggling iu the water close along side the ship, and a similar number some hundred yards oft No other boat Was available, and life-belts, gratings, ropes—in fact, everything that could be got hold of—were thrown to those near the ship, and they were all fortunately except one man, who was killed by getting under the ship's counter. Attention. which had been temporary diverted, was now again turned to the unfortunate officers and men of the other boat, who were one by one seen to be swept exhausted into the sea, until only five were left. The Ariadne was then backed astern full speed, and brought within reach of the survivors, three of whom were taken off the cutter, and one swam to the ship from a spar to which he had clung. And now came the most heart-rending scene of all. The fifth, and last survivor had managed to float alongside, his hands had grasped the boat falls, his safety seemed in all human probability assured, when nature, so long and so severely tried, could hold out no longer ; his strength failed him. and he fell back into the sea. Not yet, however, was he given up by his gallant comrades. Mr. Ellis, boat-swain, and one of those who have lived to tell the tale of the ill-i"ated captain, sprang into the water and swam to the assistance of of the drowning man. He succeeded in getting hold of him, and had brought him abngside when he, (Mr. Ellis,) was struck by a bolt on the side of the ship, which was rolling dreadfully, and, partially stunned, be was obliged to let go his hold in order to save his own-life, and the twicerescued sailor sank before the eyes of all. The gloom which this catastrophe has cast over those on board the Ariadne may be more easily imagined than described. In all eleven lives were lost by the disaster. When, first, thy winning grace I found; When, after, grace with love was crowned; When, later, love was marriage-bound ; I was all thine, Sweetheart.

"Fashionable young ladies consider evenings at home as the greatest "bores" in existence. rjpjIOMAS jr ALONE Y Dealer in Wholesale and Retail Dealer iu Suffered no Losses in all its Past History Tiie evening was pretty warm, so 1 sat in my cabin with my window and door open. I was reading by the light of a wax candle, put in a swivel-stand-; but, although I was interested in the subject, I could not help being aware, in a sort of dreamy way, of the sounds which reached my ear from time to time. There was ; the harsh grinding and rattling of the ! steam winch at work discharging the 1 cargo!; the cries and curses of the coarse ; men "at work; the striking of the bells on board: the lapping of the water at the wharf; the sounds of the great ferry I boats which crossed from East Boston to i Boston proper. I was beginning to feel I tired, and was thinking of tnrning in for i the night, when the lamp that hung in the passage revealed the figure ol the "second . mate," a great rough, sulky-looking fellow, with as warm a heart is ever beat in human breast. "Oh," said I, "come in; sit down and spin ine that long-promised yarn of yours. Take a cigarette— 'tis the only thing I smoke; I'll keep you comi pany.1' So saying, I produced two of the j little weeds, and we commenced slowlv to exhale.

We peeped into the eorner where the two young scapegraces dwelt. Yes, the metalic sound proceeded from that direction. We sU'etched our necks. There before our eyes sat the two little creatures, with the bundle between them, cosily but secretly dividing the spoil. Such a combination of daring and folly almost made us commit ourselves. But we watched our chances, and pounced0 on them, and clapped our hands on their mouths. In an instant we had them tied up and gagged. The contents of the bundle we quietly concealed about our persons, and dropped overboard when we went aft. We set a watch over the boj's, and 1 read them a lesson in whispers, which put the terror of death on them.

"All! doctor, I'll never forget that voyage. t was forever thinking that the blackies were rising, or that they had fired the ship, or that they were On deck, I walked on needles and pins— every sound startled me. I had taken all possible precautions, had my arms ready, Dkc.; but it would have been madness to havp thought of resistance. I had all the burden on my own shoulders, for I never told the skipper, and the 'second' did not seem to understand the affair nor to appreciate our danger. Bat the native doctor did ; and assisted me ably. Even my turn below was no rest; 1 could'nt sleep —I dozed and started till I was called on deck again. O, man, it was awful! Suspense, doctor, is a terrible thing! T felt just as if I were living over a volcano— never sure but that an eruption might occur. It would almost have been a relief to have had the worst. My hair turned gray, doctor—no mistake. " The 'second' even noticed that. I turned shaky and fanciful. No, doctor I didn't drink "; that had nothing to do with it. How I rejoiced at the close of each day! We made a pretty good voyage; and I almost felt as it the land, when wo first sighted it, was paradise! When we actually got that cargo safely »n shore, and I felt my thioat still uncut, I almost thought it too good to be true—no mistake!" The St. Bernard Dog.

Suddenly Barry, who had been lying on the fleor of the great kitchen of the monastery, sprang up, and ran to the worthy brother who then performed the duties of head cook to this hospital establishment. It waa wellunderstood what the dog wanted. A small cask, containing bread and win* was fastened to hi* neck, and, attended by a colleague similarly provided, he rushed out into the tempest. A l*ague from tke monastery, he found a little boy, four years old, lying half dead in the snow. Ilis mother had been struck down by and buried under an avalanche. Lying down by the boy, Barry licked his face and bands till he came to himself, and then, with coaxing whines, induced him to climb upon his back, and twine his arms about his neck. And in this manner the dog and child made their appearance at the monastery gate. The untired dog then led the good monks to the buried mother. But they were two late. She was passed recovery. A rich merchant of Berne adopted the orphaned child, and seven yean later, took the worn-out dog into his house. But Barry could not exist without laboring for man, and soon died. A picture of him, with the rescued boy up«n his back, yet clings in the old monastery, and he himself, the little cask still upon his neck, stands stufed in the museum at CENTRAL BOOK AND MUSIC STORE, ,obuv BJNGHAMTON BOOTS.

I'm not going to enter into time or place; but suffice it that onr ship was it good one, and that we were on a voyage with a right heavy load ®f coolies. We were very tightly packed, I can tell you, and no mistake. Well, we had the blackies on deck pretty much, and we (lid all we could to ventilate and purify them ; and as yet we had had no disorder among them—all was going pretty well. "The skipper was much engaged below —he was one of the kind that believe in keeping the steam up—high-pressure, you know. In fact, I had command: the 'old man'never interfered.

It took us all our time to look after those boys. Sometimes they fought—sometimes they leagued in mischief; but if they were out of sight, you might be sure they were doing no good. George was the name of one, Harry that of the other. The whole of the ship was against them, and they against tho whole ship. It was a game, and the little wretches played well. Of course, they were thrashed from time to time, but that seemed to act only as a stimulant. "Well, one day tho coolies got up a great affair—at least, it was a great affair to them, poor creatures. They were to give a sort ot offering to their god—or at least one of them. They wanted to be in his good books, you see, and so they made him this gift. I don't know all that was in the bundle, but I think there was rice, and 1 know that there was monev. The 'offering was fixed in the truck" of the main-mast—the truck, you know, is the button affair at the very point of the mast. ell, it was fastened up during the day, and the sign was, that if the god came in the night and took away the bundle, he was Well pleased, and meant to bless their voyage. It was fastened all right, and they set a watch of their own to keep a tight eye to the bundle, so that they might see the god swoop down and carry it away.

Opira.—The consumption of opium in this country is increasing enormously, and veil informed persons say that the druggists of New York sell enough of the article to keep 10,000 confirmed opium eaters constantly supplied. There are but few Chinese here, and dealers in the drug say that its consumption is confined almost exclusively to Americans, as foreigners other than Chinese rarely use it. A great deal of it is sold to servant girls, who are supposed, however, to procure it for their mistresses. That the vice of opium eating is becoming common in other parts of the country is rendered probable from the fact that a bill has passed both Houses of the Kentucky Legislature providing that., on the affidavit of two respectable citizens, any person who through the excessive use of opium, arsenic, hasheesh, or any drug has become incompetent to manage himself or his estate with ordinary prudence and discretion, may be brought before a jury, and on proof of snch a state of facts may be committed to the custody of one or more persons to be appointed by the court, with power to confine such person in any private asylum or in one of the lunatic asvlums of the State.

So the supper was excellent, and the efiect upon the Spaniards was extraordinary. Stout old ladies were heard exclaiming, through mouthfuls of unwonted fowl and tongue, that they thought it was to be anything like this, they would have brought Tio Jorge— Uncle George. Where was he on such an occasion ? Why was he not having a slice off the estrmyjero? The nephews of these old girls, meanwhile, organized a cutting-out expedition, and having discovered where more champagne was, made a gallant attack upon the stores. A British vessel on the Mediterranean station, detailed to the coast of Spain, sometimes makes the mistake of attempting to begin friendly relations by a ball. The result, in every instance, is the same. The society of the place flocks t« the entertainment, and the entertainers never hear of their guests afterwards.

HaTinfc recently made large additions to his stock of " W ell, evening shaded into night, and a deuced dark night it was too—heavy masses of cloud scudding across a sombre sky: not bad weather, but rather threatening, you know. I was on watch, feeling rather anxious as to how the night might turn out. Our doctor, a native, came to my side. He was a very intelligent fellow, 1 can tell you, and well educated. lie did'nt believe in the god coming down and taking away the bundle; but he was'nt a fool to express his mind before the coolies. They are rather dangerous cattle at times. You read now and again of their rising in mutiny, killing the officers and crew, aye, even setting fire to the "hip, and playing the deuce generally. Coolies are not to be trifled with, especially when there is a great crowd of them. Of course, they are ignorant and superstitious, and such are always dangerous. Life with such people is at a discount, and no mistake. Well, the doctor and I were devising plans for ventilatin|the ship by kindling fires, etc., and so the watch passed. When eight bells struck jit midnight, 1 turned in as soon as 1 was relieved. It seemed scarcelv a minute before I heard eight bells strike again, and 1 v its t»-rced to know that it was four o'clock in the morning, and time for me to be ©n deck to take my watch. The 'second"' said that the wind had not risen higher than when I went below, but that the night had been intensely dark. It was so at the time he spoke. I commenced to pace to and fro—wishing heartily that my watch was over—and, as time passed noticing the gradual diffusion of the uncertain light of early morning. "Suddenly, my blood was fairly frozen in my veins by a devilish ijp'roar. I thought at first that it was mutiny—then fire. While I was composing rny mind for action, the screaming was renewed tenfold. Coolies streamed and crawled on deck in dozens. They were all violently excited, but did not seem disposed to do any mischief. I sent one of the hands to ascertain what was the row, before I gave my command; but before he returned, the native doctor sprang to my side with a glassy terror-stricken eye a'nd trembling nmbs. 'Mr. Topsal,' says he, 'our lives are in danger! Who could do it? You must adt very prudently, Mr. Topsal, or this will be our last voyage.'

All therefore, in want of any part or paroel of a gentleman's gar ment, from a Shoe to a Hat, can be suited. Particular attention also paid to the fitting and making of o a P3 Ibon Clads.—Admirers of the old wooden line-of-battle ship, with its heart of oak. and the thousand memories that song arid romance have helped to endear, will pluck up spirit again from a rather provoking accident that has happened to one of the best of the British iron-clads. The Hotspur, commanded by Lord John Hay, was run into by what the Armi/ and Jiarij Gazelle doscribes as an "old Dublin pig-boat," and besides having her ports and boats carried away " was maided so severely" as to be obliged to put into harbor for repairs. The old pig-boat, oo the other hand, appears to have sustained no in jury at all, and went on her way without any difficulty. It will be remembered Unit at the battle of Lissa the most formidable iron-clad in the Italian Navy was run down and sunk by Admiral Tegethofi in a wooden vessel. The same thing, if «ve mistake not, occurred in other wars. It would seem, therefore, that iron-clads are not yet invincible even to unarmored antagonists. The Ohio liquor law which enables the wives ot drunkards to recover dauir ages from th$ sellers of liquors is being used as an instrument of blackmail. Dissolute husbands and unprincipled wives atColuaibus, have combined their talents to make a handsome income from the saloon-keepers. The husband gets drunk, and the wife straightway demands of the sinful publican the payment of twenty, twenty-five, et fifty dollars, as the case may be, on peril of a suit for damages. This law evidently needs a little doctoring. THE BEST OF FLOUR, FEED, &c., STEAM ENGINES, BOILERS, CRACKERS, T E. PERKINS, .

Thus, in the United States the proportion of insane to the population is 1 to 1,031. Of our native born people the insane are 1 to 1,261 ; of foreign immigrants as 1 to 496. This is bad enough, but in California the difference is even much more marked. In that State 1 in 48S) of the whole people are insane ; among natives, 1 in 858, among foreigners, 1 in 284. If the same proportion prevailed in the whole country, the insane of the United States would number 135,760, instead of 37,382. Probably the principal reason for this difference is to be found in the severance of social relationships, and the lack of sympathy and of friendly intercourse to which the foreigner must necessarily submit when coming to a strange land. New York and Erie. During the past fortnight New York anil Erie stock has been the excitement of New York and London siock brokers. It ran up as high as 68 cents, and fortunes have been made and lost in it. A New York paper says of a scene in the Board : " Orders to buy came from all directions, and the brokers rushed back and forth yelling even more than is their wout, which is saying a great deal indeed, as any one can testify who has ever had his senses confused by looking down from the visitors gallery, which, by the way, was crowded, despite the disagreeable weather. Report assigns from §600,000 to $4,000,000 lost to a single account from Baltimore. The New York accounts, on the same side, no doubt suffer to much larger sums, but the Street is accustomed to heavy and violent differences in the fortunes of Wall street speculation. It may be noted in this instance, however, that nearly all the losses fall at home, while the profit-; inure to the Exchanges of London and the Continent, and their correspondent a behind the scenes in New York.

High Heels.—Nearly all the corns, bunions, incurvation of nails, etc., which are peculiar to civilization, being unknown pedal troubk'3 in savage or barbarian life, are traceable to high heels. Notwithstanding shoemakers know this to be true, -tliey continue the fashion, which givesemployment to chiropodists—or, as they are known in plainer language, corn doctors— a lucrative profession, which thrives by the folly of those who rather be lame than wear easy sfyoes or boots of vulear patterns. Any eley itlon of the heel drives the toes into closes quarters, and corns develop to notify the individual there is not room enough at the point of the shoe. Being too tight across the ball of the great tQe joint inflames it extensively; that is a bunion. If the pressure is not removed, which is the only permanent lelief, a distortion of the toe joints follows, and a perpetual crop of corns is certain as seed time and harvest. No heels—none of that trouble.

FREE :an, Umlor the trees that afternoon, Across the meadows aDd down the lane Sloped the sun to the west full soon, Never a shadow nor cloud of pain : A seaman fell overboard lrom the English war steamer Ariadne, and a cutter was sent in search of him. At the time there was so heavy a sea on that the cuttcr capsized. The heavy sea completely prevented the Ariadne, a long ship, from bcin? steered close to the struggling men, and the first cutter was accordingly manned. To the horroa of every one, this boat, as she was .being lowered* was stove In—the officers and men being precipitated into the water. Two officers and eleven men were thus straggling iu the water close along side the ship, and a similar number some hundred yards oft No other boat Was available, and life-belts, gratings, ropes—in fact, everything that could be got hold of—were thrown to those near the ship, and they were all fortunately except one man, who was killed by getting under the ship's counter. Attention. which had been temporary diverted, was now again turned to the unfortunate officers and men of the other boat, who were one by one seen to be swept exhausted into the sea, until only five were left. The Ariadne was then backed astern full speed, and brought within reach of the survivors, three of whom were taken off the cutter, and one swam to the ship from a spar to which he had clung. And now came the most heart-rending scene of all. The fifth, and last survivor had managed to float alongside, his hands had grasped the boat falls, his safety seemed in all human probability assured, when nature, so long and so severely tried, could hold out no longer ; his strength failed him. and he fell back into the sea. Not yet, however, was he given up by his gallant comrades. Mr. Ellis, boat-swain, and one of those who have lived to tell the tale of the ill-i"ated captain, sprang into the water and swam to the assistance of of the drowning man. He succeeded in getting hold of him, and had brought him abngside when he, (Mr. Ellis,) was struck by a bolt on the side of the ship, which was rolling dreadfully, and, partially stunned, be was obliged to let go his hold in order to save his own-life, and the twicerescued sailor sank before the eyes of all. The gloom which this catastrophe has cast over those on board the Ariadne may be more easily imagined than described. In all eleven lives were lost by the disaster.

I was reading by the light of a wax candle, put in a swivel-stand-; but, although I was interested in the subject, I could not help being aware, in a sort of dreamy way, of the sounds which reached my ear from time to time. There was ; the harsh grinding and rattling of the ! steam winch at work discharging the 1 cargo!; the cries and curses of the coarse ; men "at work; the striking of the bells on board: the lapping of the water at the wharf; the sounds of the great ferry I boats which crossed from East Boston to i Boston proper. I was beginning to feel I tired, and was thinking of tnrning in for i the night, when the lamp that hung in the passage revealed the figure ol the "second . mate," a great rough, sulky-looking fellow, with as warm a heart is ever beat in human breast.

We peeped into the eorner where the two young scapegraces dwelt. Yes, the metalic sound proceeded from that direction. We sU'etched our necks. There before our eyes sat the two little creatures, with the bundle between them, cosily but secretly dividing the spoil. Such a combination of daring and folly almost made us commit ourselves. But we watched our chances, and pounced0 on them, and clapped our hands on their mouths. In an instant we had them tied up and gagged. The contents of the bundle we quietly concealed about our persons, and dropped overboard when we went aft.

I had taken all possible precautions, had my arms ready, Dkc.; but it would have been madness to havp thought of resistance. I had all the burden on my own shoulders, for I never told the skipper, and the 'second' did not seem to understand the affair nor to appreciate our danger. Bat the native doctor did ; and assisted me ably. Even my turn below was no rest; 1 could'nt sleep —I dozed and started till I was called on deck again. O, man, it was awful! Suspense, doctor, is a terrible thing! T felt just as if I were living over a volcano— never sure but that an eruption might occur. It would almost have been a relief to have had the worst. My hair turned gray, doctor—no mistake. " The 'second' even noticed that. I turned shaky and fanciful. No, doctor I didn't drink "; that had nothing to do with it. How I rejoiced at the close of each day! We made a pretty good voyage; and I almost felt as it the land, when wo first sighted it, was paradise! When we actually got that cargo safely »n shore, and I felt my thioat still uncut, I almost thought it too good to be true—no mistake!" The St. Bernard Dog.

Suddenly Barry, who had been lying on the fleor of the great kitchen of the monastery, sprang up, and ran to the worthy brother who then performed the duties of head cook to this hospital establishment. It waa wellunderstood what the dog wanted. A small cask, containing bread and win* was fastened to hi* neck, and, attended by a colleague similarly provided, he rushed out into the tempest. A l*ague from tke monastery, he found a little boy, four years old, lying half dead in the snow. Ilis mother had been struck down by and buried under an avalanche. Lying down by the boy, Barry licked his face and bands till he came to himself, and then, with coaxing whines, induced him to climb upon his back, and twine his arms about his neck. And in this manner the dog and child made their appearance at the monastery gate. The untired dog then led the good monks to the buried mother. But they were two late. She was passed recovery. A rich merchant of Berne adopted the orphaned child, and seven yean later, took the worn-out dog into his house. But Barry could not exist without laboring for man, and soon died. A picture of him, with the rescued boy up«n his back, yet clings in the old monastery, and he himself, the little cask still upon his neck, stands stufed in the museum at CENTRAL BOOK AND MUSIC STORE, ,obuv BJNGHAMTON BOOTS.

It took us all our time to look after those boys. Sometimes they fought—sometimes they leagued in mischief; but if they were out of sight, you might be sure they were doing no good. George was the name of one, Harry that of the other. The whole of the ship was against them, and they against tho whole ship. It was a game, and the little wretches played well. Of course, they were thrashed from time to time, but that seemed to act only as a stimulant. "Well, one day tho coolies got up a great affair—at least, it was a great affair to them, poor creatures. They were to give a sort ot offering to their god—or at least one of them. They wanted to be in his good books, you see, and so they made him this gift. I don't know all that was in the bundle, but I think there was rice, and 1 know that there was monev. The 'offering was fixed in the truck" of the main-mast—the truck, you know, is the button affair at the very point of the mast. ell, it was fastened up during the day, and the sign was, that if the god came in the night and took away the bundle, he was Well pleased, and meant to bless their voyage. It was fastened all right, and they set a watch of their own to keep a tight eye to the bundle, so that they might see the god swoop down and carry it away.

Opira.—The consumption of opium in this country is increasing enormously, and veil informed persons say that the druggists of New York sell enough of the article to keep 10,000 confirmed opium eaters constantly supplied. There are but few Chinese here, and dealers in the drug say that its consumption is confined almost exclusively to Americans, as foreigners other than Chinese rarely use it. A great deal of it is sold to servant girls, who are supposed, however, to procure it for their mistresses. That the vice of opium eating is becoming common in other parts of the country is rendered probable from the fact that a bill has passed both Houses of the Kentucky Legislature providing that., on the affidavit of two respectable citizens, any person who through the excessive use of opium, arsenic, hasheesh, or any drug has become incompetent to manage himself or his estate with ordinary prudence and discretion, may be brought before a jury, and on proof of snch a state of facts may be committed to the custody of one or more persons to be appointed by the court, with power to confine such person in any private asylum or in one of the lunatic asvlums of the State.

The dancing went cheerfully on till ubout half-past one, when the lady of the house bowed affectionately to her friends by way of bowing them out. The family, she said, were going to supper ! Yet families of this kind have no objection ta sup—ay, and right well, too —at the foreigner's expense. We remember a Yankee man-of-war giving a ball in a Spanish Mediterranean port. Yankee officers are well paid, and the most cheerful of hosts. Champagne cocktails -are found to enliven the eagle, and are freely supplied to the friends of that bird. So the supper was excellent, and the efiect upon the Spaniards was extraordinary. Stout old ladies were heard exclaiming, through mouthfuls of unwonted fowl and tongue, that they thought it was to be anything like this, they would have brought Tio Jorge— Uncle George. Where was he on such an occasion ? Why was he not having a slice off the estrmyjero? The nephews of these old girls, meanwhile, organized a cutting-out expedition, and having discovered where more champagne was, made a gallant attack upon the stores. A British vessel on the Mediterranean station, detailed to the coast of Spain, sometimes makes the mistake of attempting to begin friendly relations by a ball. The result, in every instance, is the same. The society of the place flocks t« the entertainment, and the entertainers never hear of their guests afterwards.

HaTinfc recently made large additions to his stock of " W ell, evening shaded into night, and a deuced dark night it was too—heavy masses of cloud scudding across a sombre sky: not bad weather, but rather threatening, you know. I was on watch, feeling rather anxious as to how the night might turn out. Our doctor, a native, came to my side. He was a very intelligent fellow, 1 can tell you, and well educated. lie did'nt believe in the god coming down and taking away the bundle; but he was'nt a fool to express his mind before the coolies. They are rather dangerous cattle at times. You read now and again of their rising in mutiny, killing the officers and crew, aye, even setting fire to the "hip, and playing the deuce generally. Coolies are not to be trifled with, especially when there is a great crowd of them. Of course, they are ignorant and superstitious, and such are always dangerous. Life with such people is at a discount, and no mistake. Well, the doctor and I were devising plans for ventilatin|the ship by kindling fires, etc., and so the watch passed. When eight bells struck jit midnight, 1 turned in as soon as 1 was relieved. It seemed scarcelv a minute before I heard eight bells strike again, and 1 v its t»-rced to know that it was four o'clock in the morning, and time for me to be ©n deck to take my watch. The 'second"' said that the wind had not risen higher than when I went below, but that the night had been intensely dark. It was so at the time he spoke. I commenced to pace to and fro—wishing heartily that my watch was over—and, as time passed noticing the gradual diffusion of the uncertain light of early morning. "Suddenly, my blood was fairly frozen in my veins by a devilish ijp'roar. I thought at first that it was mutiny—then fire. While I was composing rny mind for action, the screaming was renewed tenfold. Coolies streamed and crawled on deck in dozens. They were all violently excited, but did not seem disposed to do any mischief. I sent one of the hands to ascertain what was the row, before I gave my command; but before he returned, the native doctor sprang to my side with a glassy terror-stricken eye a'nd trembling nmbs.

Apr. 28, 1870. ■*D 0 © M The undersigned haying purchased of Thorns a Waddell the Strong Steam Mill, and assumed the business of said e stablishment, he would respectfully give notice that he will be at all tlmea prepared to sell to the trade GENTS' FURNISHING GOODS! w CD s of all kinds, such»ns he nas supplied his customers with for many years, and add«d greatly to the capacity of his establishment, to meet his increasing trade He is now, better than ever hefore, able to do all for any customer that low prices and prompt service can do to make up an inducement for purchasing. All therefore, in want of any part or paroel of a gentleman's gar ment, from a Shoe to a Hat, can be suited. Particular attention also paid to the fitting and making of o a P3 Ibon Clads.—Admirers of the old wooden line-of-battle ship, with its heart of oak. and the thousand memories that song arid romance have helped to endear, will pluck up spirit again from a rather provoking accident that has happened to one of the best of the British iron-clads. The Hotspur, commanded by Lord John Hay, was run into by what the Armi/ and Jiarij Gazelle doscribes as an "old Dublin pig-boat," and besides having her ports and boats carried away " was maided so severely" as to be obliged to put into harbor for repairs. The old pig-boat, oo the other hand, appears to have sustained no in jury at all, and went on her way without any difficulty. It will be remembered Unit at the battle of Lissa the most formidable iron-clad in the Italian Navy was run down and sunk by Admiral Tegethofi in a wooden vessel. The same thing, if «ve mistake not, occurred in other wars. It would seem, therefore, that iron-clads are not yet invincible even to unarmored antagonists. The Ohio liquor law which enables the wives ot drunkards to recover dauir ages from th$ sellers of liquors is being used as an instrument of blackmail. Dissolute husbands and unprincipled wives atColuaibus, have combined their talents to make a handsome income from the saloon-keepers. The husband gets drunk, and the wife straightway demands of the sinful publican the payment of twenty, twenty-five, et fifty dollars, as the case may be, on peril of a suit for damages. This law evidently needs a little doctoring. THE BEST OF FLOUR, FEED, &c., STEAM ENGINES, BOILERS, CRACKERS, T E. PERKINS, .

Thus, in the United States the proportion of insane to the population is 1 to 1,031. Of our native born people the insane are 1 to 1,261 ; of foreign immigrants as 1 to 496. This is bad enough, but in California the difference is even much more marked. In that State 1 in 48S) of the whole people are insane ; among natives, 1 in 858, among foreigners, 1 in 284. If the same proportion prevailed in the whole country, the insane of the United States would number 135,760, instead of 37,382. Probably the principal reason for this difference is to be found in the severance of social relationships, and the lack of sympathy and of friendly intercourse to which the foreigner must necessarily submit when coming to a strange land. New York and Erie. During the past fortnight New York anil Erie stock has been the excitement of New York and London siock brokers. It ran up as high as 68 cents, and fortunes have been made and lost in it. A New York paper says of a scene in the Board : " Orders to buy came from all directions, and the brokers rushed back and forth yelling even more than is their wout, which is saying a great deal indeed, as any one can testify who has ever had his senses confused by looking down from the visitors gallery, which, by the way, was crowded, despite the disagreeable weather. Report assigns from §600,000 to $4,000,000 lost to a single account from Baltimore. The New York accounts, on the same side, no doubt suffer to much larger sums, but the Street is accustomed to heavy and violent differences in the fortunes of Wall street speculation. It may be noted in this instance, however, that nearly all the losses fall at home, while the profit-; inure to the Exchanges of London and the Continent, and their correspondent a behind the scenes in New York.

High Heels.—Nearly all the corns, bunions, incurvation of nails, etc., which are peculiar to civilization, being unknown pedal troubk'3 in savage or barbarian life, are traceable to high heels. Notwithstanding shoemakers know this to be true, -tliey continue the fashion, which givesemployment to chiropodists—or, as they are known in plainer language, corn doctors— a lucrative profession, which thrives by the folly of those who rather be lame than wear easy sfyoes or boots of vulear patterns. Any eley itlon of the heel drives the toes into closes quarters, and corns develop to notify the individual there is not room enough at the point of the shoe. Being too tight across the ball of the great tQe joint inflames it extensively; that is a bunion. If the pressure is not removed, which is the only permanent lelief, a distortion of the toe joints follows, and a perpetual crop of corns is certain as seed time and harvest. No heels—none of that trouble.

This created a vacuum in the first opening, and au artificial current in the water under the ice, setting toward the hole where the pump was in operation The fish in the lake w?re so benumbed by the cold as to be powerless to resist the current, hence they were floated directly into the opening of the ice, where they were scooped out by the thousand.

He painted the seaside, and placed on the beach various common objects of the seaside—shells, urchins, crabs and a lobster. But, alas, he painted the lobster large, ostentatious, and—red ? Whereupon it was suggested by his critics that it was necessary to paint near by the geyser which alone could have boiled it. The poor fellow has never recovered. c. J, -REED, Proprietor. H.
