paratus consists of a boiler, lamp,
and aradiator. These are so construc-
ted as to produce any required degree
Of heat merely by burning the steam

spirits. Connected with the boiler are
two compound blow pipes, through
which the steam of the liquid is forced
into the stove or radiator, where the
current of air which is made to pass
through 1t becomes heated, and passes

T The Washington Telegraph states
that the President is becoming quite So.

Under the aristocratical rule of John G..
Adsms, when the East Room shone with
such magical splendor upon the dazzled

Missouri, the doors Of the President 8
House were thrown open to all classes

THE RES UE.

II will be recollected by our readets
that Captain Ross went from England TO
endeavor to find north west passage
into the Pacific Ocean His vessel was
lost, and himself and crew cut off from re-
turn to their country. They remained
four years in the frozen regions of the
north; and were providentiaIly rescued
from death, as described in the following
narrative. It was in 1888.
The Rescue.-ssRoss' Narrative in
search ofa Northeast Passage p
March rs, 1889.
At four in the morning, when all
were asleep, the look on, man, David
Wood. thought he discovered sail in
the ofing, and Immediately Informed
Commodore Ross,-who by means
of his glass, soon saw that in reality il,
was ship. All hands were immedie
ately out Of their tents and on the
beach, discussing her rig, quality and
course I; though there were still some
despairers, who maintained that it was
only an iceberg.
No time was however lost i; the
boats were launched, and signals made
by burning wet powder; when com.
ple,ing our embarkation we left our
little halbor at 6 O'Clock. Our pro.
gress was tedious, owing to the alter
nate Gains and light airs blowing in
every direction yet we made way
towards the vessel, and had it remain
ed calm where she was, should soon
have been alongside. Unluckily a
breeze just then sprang up, and she
made all sail to the southeastward, by
which means the boat that was fore
most, was soon left astern, while the
other two were steering more to the
eastward, with the hope Of cutting
her off
About ten O'Clock we saw smother
sail to the northward, which appeared
to be lying TO for her boats thinking
at one time, when she hove to, that
she had seen us. That, however, prov.
ed not TO be the case. as she soon bore
up under all sail. In no longer time,
it was apparent that she was fast leav-
ing US and il was the most anx-
ious moment we had experienced. TO
find that we were near to no less than
two ships, either of which would have
put an end to all our fears, and all our
tolls, that we should probably reach
neither.
Ii was necessary, however, TO keep
up the courage of the men, by assuring
them, from time to time, that we were
coming up with her when, most for
tunately, it fell calm, and we really
gained so, that at IL O'Clock we saw
her heave to with ali sails aback, and
lower down boat, which rowed i'm

She was soon alongside, when the

melancholy accident happened, on
Friday last, 9Th inst. at the residence
of Henry Yesler, about two miles from
Leitersburg, 10 this county. MIR. Yes
Ter and three Of his sons were engaged
in digging well, when large portion
Of earth fell ia upon them from above;
and completely buried two Of his sons,
Peter and Samuel, and nearly buried
the third one, leaving his head and
shoulders uncovered. The old gentle-
mans leg was fastened Id and some
what injured, He, however, inmedi-
ately commenced uncovering his two
sons, and when he. reached Peter he
found him dsad--he still persevered,
and on reaching Samuel he too was
ifeIess. He then extTicated the other,
who was very much injured and whose
recovery was considered very doubtful
when we last heard from him. The
buried sons were found sitting in the
same position which they occupied al
their work before the accident occur-
red. A fourth son had left the bottom
ofthe well few minutes before the
earth fell in, and thus, perhaps, NE
life was saved. The old gentleman
and his sons,we learn, were all worthy
good citizens. Oae or more Of the
we are informed, at the inn
minent hazard ofIife, assisted 10 remov-
ing the dead bodies from the well, Just
before the earth caved 10 second time
and filed i. to the depth Of six feet.
Truly may it be said, that "in tho
midst Of life We are in DEATH"
