"FHE MISCHIEF or SANDER" Tracts
have been known to produce the most bene-
fcial resaits, in rccloiming the vicious; reform
ing the abandoned; and convicting the heed
ltss. They are more apt to be read than long
dissertations on religion or morals; and are
generally written in familiar language, and III
the attractive form of narrative. The intern
perate man has been made to renounCe his de-
structive propensity, and to regain bis rospecta-
Bile stand III society, by the influence OF a tract,
in which the consequences of lntemperance
were wildly iourtruyed-and we hope that the
tract now before US entitled "The Mischiefs
Of SANDER" may have a similar influence in
arrcsting the tongues Of sldndGrers and recall
ing them to a sense Of justice and propricty.-
The Philadelphia Daily Chronicle says Of this
tract--'a better dissertation upon thls subject
was never presented 10 any community, 1t is
written in familiar style, is comprehensive
and thorough in its viows, striking in its illus
trations, interesting in its anecdOte, impressive
in It's appeals, and is withal, exactly calculated
to communicate that everyday instruction
which is SO much needed in every walk Of life,
We have rarely derived SO much pleasure from
any production, destgucd for the use Of "lhe
masses ofsocely," as we have from perusing
this, and we most heartily recommend it to the
pubic, as we'll as the Institution by which it
was issued We repeat it, nothing can be bet
ter calculated to produce a healthy tone Of
moral sentiment, and to keep it constantly in
active exercise, than such papers as the ore
which we have noticed The tract was writ
ten by Rev. joseph Il. Jones, D D., Of Phila-
delPhia."
The tract may be had at the room of the
American TIacl Society, North street.

HoRRlBLE AFFAIR--.A Mother Murdered BIZ
her Son-A young man named James Fields,
is in jail in Leavenworlh county, Ia, charged
with the murder of his own mother. The
Banner says:
The 6end in human shape had taken his
mother to support--to live with him--he TO
provide, she to do the house work. Thus they
lived until the old LADY health became so i'm
paired that she was scarcely able to leave her
bed, when one day, Sunday, June 7th,) he
came in and ordered her out Of bed to get him
some dinner, g and be damn quick about it,
for he was going to shoot her" The old lady
obeyed the injunction and whilst she was
bending over the fire preparing his meal, he
took the barrel of pistol loaded with powder
and ball, and with coal OF fire he set it Off
the ball took effect iu the upper part Of the
thigh, and ranged through into the abdomen.
She fell bleeding on the floor, where she lay
while this demon and murderer endeavored to
stop the blood by filling the wound with tow
and salt, and washing her with cold water and
spirits. He then let her lay till the next day
noon, hid in his bed behind blanket, which
hung between Aer and himself, that his eyes
need not meet the dying and suppliealing looks
of the mother. On Monday she became so
much worse he called in the neighbors As
they came he fed; but justice pursued and
overlook him, and he is now in custody, await
ing his trial at our next District Court.

and only occasionally could even private

day, or to Him who made and blessed lt-all

After awhile however, the bells commenced
ringing their merry peals, and little children
and teachers were seen IN every direction

perhaps were heard 10 resound with the ac-

way to the various temples of divine worship
The Ginning of the church bells was truly
cheering-more so than even those of my own

and they seemed TO be all uniting in one sweet

Slips from the off &c of the Newport (R I)
Herald, dated Yesterday, were this morning re-
celved by private hands, announcing The sink
ing Of the brig Sutledge at Martha's Vineyard
and the attendant loss of thirty Hues, The
principal particulars of this dseadful catastro
phe condense into as brief space as posi-
ble.
The Sutledge, Capt Graham, of and from
Picton, for Fall River, sailed on the 18th inst.
with 50 passengers, men, women and child
ren, and on Saturday morning, about three
O'Clock, the weather being thick and foggy
she struck on The Sow and Pigs, ledge o
rocks in the Vineyard /; soon after which the
tide caused her to slew round and she backed
of the ledge, filled and went down bow fore
most, in ten fathoms water.
Previous to her going down, the boat was
got out and the passengers rushed into il,
when the captain gave orders to shove her
from the brig. He then jumped overheard and
swan TO the boat, and kept her as close 10 the
brig as possible, picking up such as jumped
into the water. The whole number thus pick
ed up alive was 81.
The schr. Dusky Sally being near, sent her
boat to assist and succeeded in saving more
alive, who were in the water, and more from
the rigging of the sunken brig. Sixteen bo-
dies, women and l2 children, were also
picked up by the two boats, which, together
with the survivors, were put on board the
Dusky Sally and brought to Newport An
other vessel was at the same time picking up
what was adrilt from the wreck, SC.
The passengers were all foreigners-m mostly
Scotch, and were on their way to Pennsylva
MIA, where they expected 10 find work in the
mining business The Odd Fellows and 9TH
er humane citizens of Newport, made liberal
contributions for the relief OF the survivors,
and collections were taken yesterday in all tn e
churches for the same purpose. The bodies OF
the drowned were decenlly inferred by the au-
thorlles al Newport
