DISASTERS on THE BAKEs.--AgRysgat Loss
of LSfe.-The committee appointed by the citizens
Of Cleveland, Ohio TO consider the causes Of steam
boat disasters on the Lakes, have made their re-
port, from which we gather the following facts
From 1880 to 1850 there were seven explosions
on the Lakes, by which lis lives were lost during
the period between 1886 and 1850 eleven steam
boats were destroyed by the fire, causing loss Of
S04 lives from 1910 to 1850, period OF ten years,
there were thirty-one collisions by steamers, BY
which GO persons were killed The loss Of life on
the Lakes, during the last ten years. from explo-
sion, fire and collisions, amounted to 977. The
committee were unanimous in their adoption OF a
memorial to Congress setting forth the defects IN
the present system Of Lake steam navigation, aHe
suitable remedies

The MAN1rEE OR SEA Cow.-It is stated that
Barnum of the American Museum has offered
$4,000 to the captors for this strange animal
The Charleston Mercury thus speaks of it:
alt is called the Sea Cow, and was captured
by Mr.. Clarke, in St. Luee's Sound, South Flori-
da, where thew are often seen The specimen is a
bull-the mate of it having been killed in the cap
ture 1t is about ten feet long, with head not un-
like that Of COW. Ithas on the breast two fppers,
something like turtles, but armed with nails
The tail is fan shaped the skin smooth and of a
lead color, and very thick. The flesh is eatsble,
and is said to taste like beef and its vital organiza-
ton, except in having ttoO hearts, approaches that
of the cow. These creatures feed on the water
grasses in inets, after the manner of the hippopo-
Janus"
The female animal, killed in the capture, was
,bou Ia feet long, and weighed 1900 pounds.
some years ago, during the Florida war, Colonel

Louisiana Interior,

CRoPs, ETc.-Ths St, Francisville Chronicle,
of the Sd, says:
"The weather, during the past week. has been
most propLiOus for the planter II is the season for
saving fodder, and fine season il has been. The
Cotton crop has greatly improved; but we have
been informed, by old and experienced planters,
that it will fall short in the Parish at least one
fourth; and should the caterpillar make its ap.
pearance not more than half crop will be made.
The plant on many plantations looks finely, but
will yield but little, The Corn crop is excellent,
ard there will be an abundant yield. The Cane
looks finely, and the product, this season, should
we have no severe winds, will be greater than the
LAST
The Pointe Coupee Echo, of the Sd, says:
We are sorry to hear that the caterpillar is de-
stroying good deal of the young Corn which had
been planted in those parts of the Parish that had
been inundated: This will prove great misfor-
tune TO the people in the Island who have been ex-
pecling good yield from this source. The Cane
and Cotton in the Parish still look we'll though the
last rain was preiudicial to them"
We see call in the Baton Rouge Gazette for a
meeting of the citizens of that place, 10 take into
consideration the building of plank road from
Baton Rouge to Clinton.
