A HORRIBLE ArrAIa-Thc following extract
~ . letter from Lanai gives an account OF most
horrible occurrence which recently happened at
a neiqhboring island, dated March I'D;
aYou wilrhave heard from Capt Green, of the On
tario that three men deserted from nm last riaay
| n;gbt To-day two Of them returned; they were
hrongbt 70 the United States Consulate Agency,
and made one Of the most horrible statements ever
heard. They, as they say, hired boa;
Of three natives on Friday evening, and started
for Hawaii There were three IN t ne BOAT VIZ
iNewYorkl; Robert McCarty, New-York city;
and Jacob Won Clief, belonging to Middletown
| POINT. fNew-Jersey)-the latter colored man.
They pulled all Friday night, Saturday, Sunday,
and their nights, and became exhausted, and were
unable TO pull any longer. Ga Tuesday they driil-
cd on the rocks at Lanai and, having been without
food or fresh water the whole time and having drank
| sal, water they were in state OF starvation lhey
were not able TO get up the p0h lpreclplcel ana
agreed to cast lots who should die Tor the ben
eff of the other two. The lot fell On Won Cliet VINO
was killed by blows on the head with stone. They
then cut his arm and throat and drank his blood after
which they cut piece from his right arm and ate It,
| After they became engthened, they got up the
pail, aud met with some natives, VINO gave tnem
| food and brought them across the island, and TO
This Mace in canoes. The natives have been exam
med and confirm the statement made by them. The
dead BODY was found IS they described, and buried
nv them This Governor will send 10 Lamar to-mor-
row for the women they hrst saw alter landipg ana
for the remains of the boat"
Another letter states that these men were tried
for murder, and acquitted. and subsequently tried
for stealing the boat and fined $50 and costs
Having no means OF paying the fine, they were
working it out on the public roads.

CoNNEcTIoN o. THE TWO RAILRoADs.-Thc To-
connective and train of cars passed over the ccnnec-
ton of the Tonawanda end Auburn and Rochester
Railroad through Rochester on Thursday.
This road is builr, says the Democrar, in the most
durable manner, with edge rail, &c. The new bridge
across the Erie Canal is said 10 be one OF the best
and most substantial in Western New-York, if not
ia the State
EFFECTS OF KNDNEss-I am almost convinc-
ed that there never yet was an instance IN which
kindness has beeu fairly exercised but that 1t has
subdued tie enm!:y opposed to IT. It's first effort
may not succeed any more than one shower OF
rain can reclaim the burning desert; but let it
repeatedly shed the dew of its holy influence
upon the revengeful soul, and it will soon become
beautiful with every flower of tenderness Let
any person put the question to his soul, whether,
under any circumstances, he can deliberately re-
sist continued kiadness2 And a voice of affec-
a.
coming evil. If the angry and revengeful per-
son would only govern his passions, and light the
lamp of affection in his heart, thatit might stream
out in his features and actions, he would soon
discover wide difference in his communion with
the world. The gentle would no longer avoid
him; friends would not approach him with
frown the weak would no longer meet him with
dread children would no longer shrink from him
with fear; he would find that his kindness wins
all by its smile giving them confidence, and
securing their friendship.

| A WARM BATH Is PREsERvATIvE TO HEALTH.
When blues and chils set minds in wrath.
| The best of cures is warm bath.
The body soohed and free from pain
| Good temper soon returns ngan.
These are times when we all feel cross and I'M
comfortable, and cannot give any good reason for it.
The best restorative is a good Warm Bath; it
causes all the little asperities of temper TO vanish
and we feel like new beings. Go up to the Foun-
tain Baths, No. Chatham-sueet; take Warm
Bath for only shilling, and you will feel hundred
| fold better.
