1t is due TO those of our Subscribers

which induced us to remove our Press.

A PERILoUs SITuATIoN.--We learn
from passengers BY the Steamer Ocean
from Buffalo to Detroit, that on Wednes-
day or Thursday evening of last week the
Steamer Baltimore, with a large load of
passengers. got fast in the ice. between
Buffalo and Black Rock, and night com
ing on, the officers thought they might
remain there safely till morning. Under
this impression all retired to their berlhs
but in the course of the night, some OF
the passengers discovered that the boat
was moving rapidly down stream. in the
direction of the cataract below! The OF
iicers were Immediately reused. All
was excitement and CONSERVATION on
board. and for a time the boat and her
living freight seemed to be doomed
Anchors, however. were Immediately
thrown overheard, and they fortunately
checked the progress of the boat until
steam could be raised in sufficient guam
tity to carry ii beyond the reach Of dan
ger.
We learn that day or two before, a
man in attempting to cross the river Ill u
skilf, got cntang!ed with floating ice, and
thus loosing the power of directing his
course, was carried over the Falls.

books are for distribution among the

they are, we really see no just cause for
the censure against Mr.. w. that the

imply.

RAILROAD CELEBRATION. The open
Noblesville, on Tuesday last, was grand
affair. Every body was there, and as they
all went to enjoy themselves they had
fine time of it. Three trains left this
city III the morning, al crowded to their
utmost. Two trains came down from
Noblesville and returned, and the Belle
fontaine and Madison train went w in
the afternoon. and all returned in thu
evening. The ride was very pleasant
the road appears to be good one, and
especially that part on which Holeman-
superstructure is laid. The country thr'o
which it passes is new, mostly woods
but in few years it will present diff
ferent appearance.
The time was spent by those who
vent up in the morning, in walking
round, looking a: the woman with three
babies, attending the fair for the benei Il,

A WILL CASE, involving much property,
was on trial several days last week, in
Philadelphia, and occasioned much inter
est. The device was an old man of 50.
and when he died, left his property to an
ilegitimate son, by will made two years
before his death. His nephews, as heirs
at law, disputed the will, on the ground
that he was OF unsound mind, and after
forty witnesses were examined, some OF
whom deposed that he was eccentric, and
others that he believed in wuchcralt; the
Judge charged generally in favor of the
WILL and the jury took but five minutes to
decide the same way.

SHIP DESTROYED BY A WHALE.-Capt.
Debtors, of the whale ship Ann Alexan-
der. arrived at New York in the Cherokee,
and reports that on the 20th of August
last. when in lat. 5 50 S., Ion. 1872 W.,
while in pursuit of whales, two of his
boats that were out in pursuit were at
tackled by large sperm whale, and COM
pIeleIy demolished. The captain prompt
ly ordered out a third boat, and proceeded
to the assistance of the men. who were
thrown into the sea by the destruction OF
their boats. He succeeded in rcscung all
of them, and reached his ship in safety.
Bat the whale becoming more frantic with
rage, Immediately directed his course for
the ship, and struck her abreas! of her
iorcmast, injurlng her 50 badly that she in
standv filed. All hands took 10 the boats
on the 22d, and were subsequently picked
up by the ship Nantucket. Captain Gibbs,
OF Nantucket, and arrived at Payta, Sept.
Is, whence the Captain took passage for
New York. on his way home. This is
certainly all extraordinary instance of the
capabilities Of the whale, and we believe
the like has occurred but once before,
which happened in the case Of Nantucket
ship years ago.
