ton, when the evils of his nature first be-

teacher is one Of that class, who, from de-
sire Of personal grandizement, or earthly
co npensatlon, chooses to please, rather
than benefit, and, by unlimited Indulgence,
prevents the furious passions from open ac-
ton, thus presenting fair surface, while
the disposition remains unchanged. Let
parents and teachers but realize the impor-
lance of their stations, and faithfully, and
consciensciously discharge all their duties,
caring not for earthly reward, but, by pa

The Investigating Committee says
the N. Y. Star, holds its session with
closed doors, and for obvious reasons.
If the Press were admitted, much Of
the testimony on which the report is to
be predicated will appear probably in a
mutilatcd form before it reaches Con-
gress, and premature publication
might prevent important facts from be-
ing disclosed. To ascertain the amount
Of dcfalcations is no difficult matter,
but to learn how, when and where they
were effected, as guide for the future.
and to ascertain distinctly whether the
Secretary ofthe Treasury, and conse-
quently the President, did not know Of
and conceal the defalcations until after
the election, are matters Of great mo-
ment for public information. Tho
Committee, we learn, will pursue the
investigation without delay, in order to
report in time for the action Of Con-
gress.

SERIOUS ACCIDENTAL very serious ac-
cident occurred on Saturday the 25th inst.
on the Hudson near New Baltimore. Libcr-
ty Johnson aud William II. Kelly were en-
ployed in drawing iron from Hudson to Troy
on the ice. On arriving at New Baltimore,
MIR. X. gave notice to Mr.. J. that tho ice was
giving way under the pressure Of his load,
and, at the same instant, gave spur TO his hor.
ses to avoid the dagger. The next moment
all were preciptated into the liquid element

while Mr.. X. struggled hard for existence -
Johnson FASTENED to his relief lie saw him
but in such a condition as to render his res
cue almost bopeess--hc was lying under n
cake Of ice. lie spoke to hin,-urged him
not TO give it up, but make one effor, more.
Kelly heard him, and putting forth all his
remaining strength, came up between the
cake and main body Of ice on the opposite
side from where Johnson stood. After pla-
cling him as securely as he could, Johnson
returned TO his team, and while in the act Of
unlashing his two sleighs, he broke through.
The ice lying in sloping position toward
him, rendered q grasp upon II very difficult.
After several frui,lcss attempts, he at length
succeeded in joining his companion, who was
almost inscnslblc, and they OF length gained
the shore and soon reached house, whore
they received assistance. The teams were
owned by Mr.. Johnson, by the loss oe which,
we ore sorry to say, he has experienced a
heavy calamity.

FTecIse Time UnKHOWU, %
In addition to these known losses, there
have been reported 81 vessels Missing, con-
cerning which, there is very little doubt but
they are lost with all on board. In the above
named vessels there were reported The loss
Of 753 lives. This does not probably include
all the lives lost by these disasters, but only
those mentioned with certainty. Many OF
the wrecks were fallen in with at sea, and
the fate Of the crews were wholly unknown.
Undoubtedly the loss of life has been great,
and many crew has been wholly swallowed
up, and no one spared TO tell the melancholy
tale. Surely "there is sorrow on the sea-"
sorrow that never will be fully disclosed un-
