Dreadful SIRipyyreChE--DiSas-
trOus Results Offsae Storm.

The severe Northeast storm of Sat
urday night and Sunday was attended
with most disastrous consequences to life
and property. There is at present reason
for supposing that upward of sixty lives
have been lost. Eight vessels are ashore
on Squam Beach, and the crews and pas
sengers must have persisted within sight
of the land. The following are the par
ticulars as far as they are correctly ascer-
tained:-
The ship John Minturn, Capt. Stark,
New York and New Orleans packet,
went ashore on Sunday morning about
o'clock. Five Of the sailors and one
passenger reached the shore, much ex-
hausted. Capt. and wife, their children
and servant, and thirly-sevcn persons,
passengers or sailorssperished in attempt-
ing to save themselves. Ship Orleans,
Capt. -, New York and New Orleans
packet, was driven ashore on Saturday
night, soon after the storm commenced.
Total loss: Saven and missing not as
certained. Schooner Alabama, from
Philadelphia for New York, went ashore
on Saturday night during the height of
the storm, and every soul on board per-
ished. Seven in all. Vessel total
loss. The following was received yester-
day by the Underwriters

The persons saved were Hospitality
treated by the people of Point Pleasant,
at Squam Inlet, and every attention bes-
slowed upon them that their deplorable
condition required.
The surf was still running very high
on Sunday night, and no communication
had been held with the vessels that still
held together. One of the bodies, that Of
young man, from the schooner Alabama
was found on beach on Sunday morning,
having come ashore in the night,

THE EMIGRATING SPIRIT OF AMERI-
cANs.-The Hon. John Wentworth, of
Illinois, himself an emigrant to that State
from New Hampshire, in late speech
thus happily hits off the emigrating spirit
of Americans: s'He had friend in Ohio,
as long ago as it was Oh the frontier. He
had been moving away from the inroads
of society, until he had reached the banks
of the Mississippi, and was about to move
again. He asked him his reason. He
said it was the dying advice of his father,
"to keep twenty miles beyond law and
calomel, and doctor and lawyer were
within fifteen miles, and he thought ittime

The barque Bayfield,, which left Liv-
erpooI on the 22d Of October last with a
cargo Of gunpowder, spirits, &c. bound
for the west coast of Africa, was struck
by lightning on the 25th of November,
and set on fire directly overthe magazine.
After Intellectual attempts to extinguish
the fire, the crew took to the boats. Be-
ing about three hundred miles distant from
Sierra Leone, which was the nearest port,
they made for it, and after nine DAYS of
want and suffering, without particle of
provisions or fresh water, they succeeded
in reaching that place with the loss of
three of their number who died from
starvation.-Balt. Amer.

DeatI, of Esr. john #. Esraddee.

DIR. john F. BRADpEE, Of Uniontown,
Fayette County, says this mornings Des-
patch, died on Friday night last, in the
Western Penitentiary in Allegheny City,
of Pulmonary consumption. DR.. BRAD
DEE was. doubtless the most extensive
mail-robber in the Union, having COM
mitted depredations to an amount exceed
ing 100000, in the fall of 1910, OF
which he was convicted in May, l64l,
and sentenced by John BALDWIN, Of the
u. S. Court, to TEN YEARS imprison-
ment in the Western Penitentiary, nearly
five years of which he had served, at the
time of his death.
At the head of well-organized band
of counterfeiters and robbers, he was, for
a time, the very terror of the nelghbor-
hood in which he resided-but, so cum
ming withal, that time and talents were re-
quired to fasten upon him the evidence of
his guilt. To DR.. Kennedy, then mail
agent, the community is indebted for his
detection, which, notwithstanding his
wealth, was speedily followed by con-
viction, which dispersed his gang, and rid
the country of so great nuisance.
During his illness, BRADDEE make a
very full confession Of his misdeeds, ac-
knowledging the justice Of his fate, and
giving particulars not before known. II
We can possibly obtain this, it will appear
in our columns.
Mr.. BRADDEE. at his death; was about
forty years of age, aud previous to his con-
viction, had been accustomed to an active
life, which doubtless rendered his con6ne-
ment more severe.
His wife, who clung to him in adver-
sity, with all the affection of woman's ma
ture, is now residing at Uniontown Penn
sylyania.-Pitts. American.
