GALE or LAKE liURoY AND PRovIoENrIAL
ESCAPE OF $50 i'EEsoNs.--By passengers who
came in the G. Western last night, we lcara that
I heavy gale has been lagIng on Lake Huron
Tor several days, dong much damage to vessels
and cndlnycrinr the lives OF many persons.
Among the vessels mentioned as having
suffered, is the new and elegant steamboat Ms
sour. Capt. Wilkins. The vessel left our port
or the upper lakes, on the 2Oh ms. with l50
passengers, forty OF whom were females.

he blow commenced, tn, brick work anl

"hicli compelled the engineer 10 quench the fire
n order that the disasters might be reineiied.
Baiorc this was accomplished however, the force
of the waves carried away the ruddcr post, thus
rendering the vessel entirely unmanagelb!c.

Of the elements, all OF thirtv-siX hours, and so
imminent was the danger that all on board, save

Temperance in Ireiand.--The following
anecdote is related as illustrative Of the
progress Of the Temperance reform OF
Ireland
One day in the streets Of Cork, man
of the name of Barry, corn dealer, on
his way 10 the Savings Bank, was met by
u tavern keeper named Murphy; the latter
said 10 him. "Why do you not come 10
see me as often as you used?" To this
the other answered." cannot do any such
thing now, as Father Mathew has desired
me 10 keep out of'he way of temptation" :"
81 am sorry TO see you looking so very
badly" said the tavern keeper, . why
your quite yellow "Why." said Barry,
'.if my face be yellow, SD is my pockets
TOO. thank God" and he pulled out of his
pocket four sovereiens, which he was 60
ing to lay up in the Savings Bank. Not
less than four hundred new books have
been opened in The Cork Savings bank
since the spread Of temperance there.

From The Ne,o York Erenino Post

One of the Evening papers remarks
,a, none Of the democratic journals have
replied TO MIR. Clay's attack upon Mr. Ed
ward Livingston. We have no doubt that
the silence of others is ascribable 10 the
same reasons as our own.
We stood aghasl at the atrocity of the
attack. Is nothing sacred from this ap.
pailinS frenzy Of party spirit! Can not

The whole speech Of Mr.. Clay seemed 10
us unholy; bis profane invocation of the
Almighty; his prodigious falsehoods seem.
ei 10 US all Of piece with this attack upon
one Of The greatest aad best men that the
country has produced. We shrank from
tho whole SUBJECT.
Another reason caused our silence. We
thought repy utterly uncalled for. We
could not believe for moment that any
one was so profoundly ignorant, so wholly
rnnlorlned Of The past as to suppose that
Mr.. Clay spoke in good faith, aud that Mr..
Livingston was really Jefauter. Per-

Accepted Trstimony.-As The Federal
party have accepted the testimony Of Col.
Richard M. Johnson as unimpeachable,
lie, them take the following along with the
rest of his evidence. In his speech at
ChiIlicothe, Ohio, he said.
ale had been acquainted with Martin
Van Buren, for twenty-eighl years, and
that for the last twenty years he had been
on terms ofthe greatest intimacy-and it
gave him pleasure to state that in the
whole of his political connections he never
knew one more upright in Principle or of
purer morals, and very few possessing ta-
lent of higher order than Martin Van Bu-
rem. No stronger advocate of the war
policy was to be found in 1909, and no
ADLER defender Of il in 1919, than Martin
Van Buren. He spike Of what he knew
and what he felt to he true, aud of which

4 Hard go JorMe Swigs.-At the dem
ocratic meeting in Wheeling on eth ul-
lino, while MIR. Allen was speaking he
marked that while Col. Croghan was hs-
roically defending Fort Stephenson against
vastly superior numbers, Gen. Harrison
was lying in safety and idleness eight
miles distant. This gave great dissalis-
faction to the Federal hullies aud black
guards in attendance. Mr.. A. was dc.
nouncd as liar and u scoundreI, and loud
calls were made upon Col. Johnson to
give his version of the transaction. The
Col. stated tina, his friend Allen was in
deed mistaken in what he had said: that
instead of 8, Gen. Harrison was at leas,
l2 miles from the scene Of action!! In
fifteen minutes the wings had every one
sneaked of.

Ttras Crops.-An Austin paper of l2'h
ult. says Of Cotton :Of the prospects Of
The present crop Of Cotton can speak
very favora5ly. Few Of our farmers,
however. have embarked very extensively
in its culture, owing TO the great influx of
emigrants, which creates corresponding
demand for corn. The export Of this sea-
son will probably not exceed $50 bales
from Jackson county.
The corn crops were also extremely
promising, aud it was supposed prices
would not exceed 25 to 37dc. per bushel.
