SWEETS PRIMARY school. GRAMMAR
This concise and very lucid Elementary rcatiss for
beginners Just published has been received with great
favor by School Committees and Teachers Although
it has been introduced into large number of schools
and bids fair to become the most popular and useful

Oxford n II Jan Ii, SIG
Dear Sir; Having examined your Primary School
Grammar somewhat closely, am persuaded of its
high merits. 1t is simple, clear, and well arranged
and therefore seems TO be well adapted to the young
mind. No other books, with which am acquainted
setting forth the principles of English Grammar, espc-
chilly i'll their elementary application is better cacil-
lated to secure the end at which it aims than is the
one issued by yourself From its simplicity and It's
adaptation to the capacities OF youth and children
am sure, it cannot fail OF wide circulation.
Respectfully yours.

0P The New York Spirit Ct the

RP The New York Spirit Ct the
Times tells the following:-
"Thc little steamboat "Blue Wing"
which runs from Louisville to Frank
fort, got, above the dam at the latter
place when the river was unusually
high, and the water falling suddenly,
she could not get back. While in
this dilemma, the captain concluded
TO take trip UP the river, and did
sail fifty miles farther up than boat
ever went before. Great was the sur
prise created by the advent of the
Blue Wing in those waters. The
people came from the surrounding
country to examine her, and among
them many were the original remarks
made. If the natives were astonished,
the captain and crew were infinitely
amazed. On her passage up, a tall
Kentucky hunter with a rifle upon
his shoulder, deserted her, and taking
it for some hitherto undiscovered spe-
cies Of game, hastily climbed "A tree,and
cooking his gun, awaited her approach
and doubtless would have fired, if a
companion, who knew things he new
or dreamed of, had not quoted his
apprehcnsions. "Do you call that
a steam boat?" said he" she stood a
smart chance of getting shot; | was
just going to give j, to her tween the
horns."

I'm Old CuSfomer.-The House OF

led to a pile; but he made more i'm

upon the woodworking and batter.

at length determined to give him q

his grati6cation--declar il 10 be the
best bath he had had for a long time,
and hoped they would give him as
much again next time. He was then
sent to the dungeon for twcnty-touI

flies, mosquitoes and all other intrudcrs

heard from him, the keeper was trying
to renew his eye-sight by compelling
him to push a wheelbarrow full OF Goa

points between two given points il

his age when he rcgains his freedom.

Wyeck of The New Yoyk.-We

4 Wreck Of The New York.-We
have bad long conversation with
Judge Toler, who was one of the pas
sengers on the New York, and the ac-
count he gave us Of the wreck and OF
the preservation Of those who escaped
death was extremely interesting. The
statement made by the clerk is con-
frmed by him, save in one unimpor-
taut particular relating 10 the loss OF
one Of the boats. The appearance OF
the Galveston certainly appears TO
have been providential. Had she left al
her usual hour in the afternoon, she
would have passed the scene of the
wreck in the night,a and the chances are
that she would not have discovered
it. Happily she left Galveston in the
forenoon, and having herself felt some
thing of the violence Of the gale and
then noticed portions of a wreck float
ing at intervals, every body on board
was on the lookout, and survivors OF
the New York deserted upon their va
rlous RATS, formed of portions of the
wreck. As fast as possible all were
rescued, Capt. Wright humanely exert
ing himself first to save those whose
support appeared most frail. 1t re-
quires but moment TO write OF this,
but it was the work Of hours. The
passengers speak warmly of the kind
ness and prudence of Capt. Wright. as
well as Of Capt. symptom, Galveston
pilot who was on board.
The New York resisted the unex-
amplcd violence of the gale much
longer than could have been expected,
and sank very gradually. A little be-
fore she went down the motion OF the
boat as she fell over on her side caus-
ed her bell to strike a single stroke
the knclI, as it were. Of the noble ship.
Captain Phillips was calm and deter
mined throughout tie dreadful scene.
The passengers were apprized of their
danger betimes, and the men among
them joined the crew Of the vessel and
labored long and YEARLY in the exc
cution of the orders of the captain,
who aNailed himself of every resource
to keep his ship anoat, and save the
lives Of those on board when the crisis
came. The scenes in the ladies' cabin
were Of the most agonizing character,
but il is idle to dwell upon them.
1t is supposed that from thirty to
forty thousand dollars in gold, silver
and bank notes were lost in the vessel,
belonging in part to passengers, but
principally consigned here. There
were no goods in the hold of the YES
sci. The captain lost from two TO
three thousand dollars which he had in
cash on board. Some drafts on the
Post Office Department, for about the
same amount, were lost, but no other
Inconvenience than delay will result
from this n. o. Picayune.

Woader/ul Flood. - During tie
last storm, Captain David w. G. Cook
of the schooner King, from Taunton
had a most wonderful escape in an
opcn skiI. When oil Egg Harbor, ~.
j.. the schooner upset, unshipplng her
main boom, which struck the skill,
knocked out the stern, store In about
one-third of her bow and broke her
loose from the schooner. Tile captain
leaned into her, dragging the cook al
Ter him, when the storm separated him
from the schooner. leaving two men
on board who went down with the
vessel.
The skilI upset during the night and
the cook was drowned. Captain Cook
who was dashed TO the boat succeeded IN
getting loose, and chung 10 the bottom
Of the boat. Drifting before the
waves. he on the fifth day made Cape
MAY; but when within half mile OF
the beach, the wind vecred round and
he was driven TO sea again. During
the following night the storm ragged
still more furiously and his boat rolled
over several times; still he clung to it,
and in the morning about A o'clock
landed safely about four miles south OF
Hcnlopen, where the breakers were
running mountains Highland where,
the pilot says, il is pcriIous to the land
with The highest breeze from the east.
III is truly astonishing when the
winds and the waves were dsshing TO
pieces briggs, schooners and other
strong well made vessels, that so shat
tered a boat should have lived in such
a sea and carried in safety human be-
ingTat least rs miles in a straight d.
rection, and of course much farther IN
her circuitous route. Surely Old Nep-
tune himself could not have managed
the storm with better success.
To the above we may add another
wonderful escape from death in the
same gale.
A vessel named the Mary Adelaide
was capsized at Squam Beach, and all
on board persisted except young la
dy-whose preservation was remarka-
Bile.
When the wrcckers boarded the
sloop they found il drifting bottom up
ward. They were about to abandon
il, when their attention was directed to
n noise inside the hull! They immc-
diately cut way the planking, and TO
their astonishment and joy, found n
young woman alive, who proved TO be
a Miss Lamson, a niece OF the late
captain of the sloop. She was taken
ashore and kindly provided for. She
says she stood up to her neck IN wa
ter, from the time the vessel capsized,
and lived for two or three days on the
small quantity of air in the hold, be-
tween the water line and the hull
When the vessel grounded al low tide,
she was able to sit down and had al
larger supply Of fresh air, although
the water was up to her waist. Who
can describe the sgonizing fears which
preyed upon her in that dreadful pris-
on, her cries for help, the awful appre-
henson that she must soon iall OK
haus,ed into the watcry grave which
surrounded her, her joy when rescued
and her sorrow AT learning The fate OF
her beloved uncle! Truth is indeed
stranger than fiction.
