WONDERFUL PREsERvArioN.-In September last
the schooner New Connecticut, bound from
Conneaut 10 Buffalo, was capsised of North
east, Pen, and was supposed to have sunk. She
was subsequently discovered not sunk, but rgh-
ted, and Mrs. Mary Applebee, Of Golden, (now
of Black Rock after being fire days in the ca
bin, partly immersed in water, came out alive,
like one from the dead! Mrs. Applebee (says

The Balloon Ascension, yesterday, was rem
dered singularly impressive. The aronaut, at
ter having reached about half mile in eleva-
ton, was carried ny an opposite current Of air
directly over the battery, and then suddenly,
while all were eagerly gazing at him, became
enveloped in the mist, and few moments after
was completely out of sight. This sudden dis
appearance amidst the overhanging clouds, pro-
duced lively sensation, and gave rise 10 nu,
merous jeu d. esprits, some imagining the 3Iiai
navigator had taken up his encampment In the

The Figure Head.--There was considerable ex-
element in the city yesterday, in consequence
of the decapitation Of the figure OF General
Jackson, recently placed as figure-head on
the frigate Constitution. II appears that dur
ing the night of Wednesday, the head OF this
wooden image was sawed off by some person
or persons unknown. II is rather mysterious
affair. The Constitution lies at the Navy Yard,
between two seventy-fours, and il is understood
that guard, or watch, is continually kept on
board. II seems impossible that the deed could
have been executed without discovery, notwlth-
standing that the night was dark and rainy

ofseveral intelligent men who examined the pre-

gone to their work through the Navy Yard.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %, 1884.
The Committee appointed by the Sem
ate, to investigate the claim of Mr. Potter
OF Rhode Island, had long sitting this
morning, when Mr. Potter put in a Iony
exposition and argument on the subject
OF his claims, and was replied to by MIR
Robbins. The meeting ofthe Committee
had been postponed until to-day, for the
purpose ofgiving Mr. Potter the opportu-
n'ty Of being heard, and not from any
doubt in the bosom Of the Committee, of
the validity ofthe election of MIR Robbins.
The report ofthe Committee will probably
De made to the Senate on Monday and
VIII OF course confirm, as far as the opinion
oi the Committee goes, the right of MIR
Robbins to his seat. The conlirmatorv
opinion Of the Senate will be required.
before Mr. Robb ms will feel his chair
steady under him /; but think there can
not be much doubt, from all that have
heard oi the ground which has been occu-
pied by the claimants, and the facts and
arguments brought forward, that the re-
port ofthe Commttee is sust ainabIe. and
must be sustained to uphold the rights OF
the Senate.
