Another Awful Collision.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 2O.-Intelligence re-
ceived this morning from Erie gives an ac-
count ofa collision between the steamer At
llntic and the propeller 0gdensburgh, at 9
O'clock a. m,about miles above Long Point,
lake Esie. The steamer ran across the bow
of the propeller, striking forward of the wheel
on the laboard side. The propeller's en-
CINE had been reversed 20 minutes before the
collision. The Atlantic continued on her
course ten miles after the contact, before
the engine was stopped by the water ex:iD-
gushing her fires. The Lake was covered
for miles with floating fragments, to which
persons were clinging for life. Every exer-
ton was made to save the passengers, but a
great many were drowned-probably $50
lost. The clerk of the Atlantic lost the trip
sheet, and cannot tell the exact number, but
estimates that five to six hundred were on
board before the accident mostly emigrants.
Over 200 were picked up by the propeller.
ERIE, Pa, Aug. 20.-When the collision
took place the passengers were all in bed.
When the steamer struck, the utmost con-
sternation ensued among the steerage and
deck passengers, chiefly Norwegian emf
grants. Many jumped overboard. The
water gained fast. The fire was soon ex-
tinguished, the boat rapidly sinking. The
scene was terrible, and confusion followed
Emigrants who could not understand a word
spoken to them, added horror to the scene by
cries of fantic terror.
The cabin passengers and others who
could understand the exhortations Of the
Captain, were comparatively calm, and pro
vided themselves with chairs, settees ant
beds. All with patent life-preservers were
saved A great many emigrants jumpe'
overboard in terror, and rushed to certain
death. Amid widest shrieks of passenger
the boat settled and sunk. The Ogdens
burgh did all in her power to preserve tn
lives of the hundreds ofhuman beings strug
Cling in the water. $50 picked by the pre-
peller and taken to Erie. A large numbe
of these left at once in steamer Sultan fo
Cleveland; others came down in the cars t
this city. From the best information it i
believed that not less than 800 lives wer
lost.
Nearly all the cabin passengers wer
saved, together with all the crew with tn
exception of two walters. The propelle
picked up nearly 800 persons from tn
wreck, but the exact number can't be asceI
tanned

EXPLOSION AT THE ROLLING MILL.-A

building. The boiler was torn asunder, a
bout one-fourth oft being carried westward
into the river, some ten or fifteen rods dis
tance, and the other end passing eastward
entirely through the building, tearing away
everything, [of the frame) large and small,

thing will be replaced, and the mill again
in operation in the course of week or ten

tice:
/. Every person bit by an animal who is
mad, or suspected of being mad, should i'm
mediateIy press the wound on all sides, to
force out the blood and the virus.
2. The wound should then be immediate
" washed with volatile GlkGi, with soap suds,
with lime water, with salt water, or pure
water, or if none of these are at hand, with
urine.
8. An iron, at white heat, should next be
pressed deeply into the wound
These directions, if rigidly followed, viii
be found sufficient to insure against the pos.
sibility of the appearance of this frlghtfu
contagious disease.

Az EvERLAsrINe CANDIDATE.--In stump

AN EVERLASTING CANDIDATE.--In stump
speech made by Joseph A. Geiger some ten
years ago, he iocosly remarked that DR.. olds
had from policy exhibited some maiden coy
ness in being brought out for office, but that
alter once being successful he cannot be
choaked off-that he was like the Dutchman
with his pig, who had to pull his ears out to
get him up to the trough, and then pull his
tail out to get him away from it. What was
spoken in ievity has resulted in prophecy
The DR.. began in the Legislature, went into
Congress, and although he promised faith
fully when last the candidate, not again to
obtrude his services on the party, yet he
holds on like "grim death to dead nigger,"
and refuses to give up his place. The pigs
tails kept well creased, and your Smiths,
gnd Martins and Neils may seize hold, but
the harder they pull the more violent will be
their fall.
The Democracy had better make him their
perpetual nominee, for if he attempts to get
the nomination and fails, ,coe to the Democrat
by whom he is superseded. Let him take
warning from VIM. Medill.- CircleutHe Her.
The time before the last, the DR.. Promis-
ed not to be candidate; bet the last time,
he said that the first two years were devoted
to learning the duties of legislator Inc
second two could be devoted to Legislation
and now he wants an indefinite number to
devote to his own interests. If Medary or
any one else attempts to run him off the
track without promoting him, they will find
themselves vastly mistaken. Though he is
'tdeaa from want of fhonest principles" he is
member of, in fall communion with, the
Locofoco party.
