SHOCKING MoRrAtirY ON SHfPBoARD.-
The English papers contain an account of a
most horrible mortality on board the British
ship Lady Montague, on the passage from
China to Callao, with 500 souls on board, in
cluding passengers and crew. 1t appears
that sickness and fever seized the helpless
creatures within few days after her depart
ure. The water and provisions which had
been provided for the emigrants became
putrid. The mortality that ensued need not
be more particularly alluded to than to men,
ton that the suHerings OF the poor creatures
were Of the most frightful description. Many
committed suicide by Jumping overheard and
by the time the ship put into Hobart Town
no fewer than 1913 had perished. By great
efforts, health was restored on board, and
she sailed again for her destination, but the
disease soon re-appeared, and by the time
she reached Calao, the list of victims was
swelled to 274. Only three persons, out Of
a crew of 80 men who went out with the ves-
sci, returned home. OF the emigrants she
took on board at Cumsingmoon, only 2ol
reached Callao.

AN INcoRRiGIBLE.-This story is related
of lawycrwho has since attained emnence
in his profession. A case in which he was
engaged as counsel for the defendant came
OH at certain day. \ he was insufficient
ly prepared, he was very anxious to have the
case postponed few days, that he might
have further time for this purpose. Unior-
tunately there was great press OF business,
and he knew that this motion would be over
ruled unless some extraordinary reason was
alleged Under these circumstances. he be-
thought himself OF an eXpedient. Rising
with his handkerchief to his face, he address
ed the Judge in accents OF great apparent
emotion: MAY it please your Honor, have
just been informed that my mother is at the
point Of death. My emotions are too great
for me to proceed in this case. move that
it be postponed until day after TO morrow"
This request would OF course have been
granted by the court rtwhose sympathies were
strongly excited in his behalf; but at this
moment, to the discontinue OF the lawyer,
and the amusement of the audience, the
shrill voice of his mother was heard issuing
from the gallery: "Ichabod! lchRbod! how
often have whipped you for lyingr' The
case wasn't postponed, nor was it gained by
the afflicted counsel.--kRic erJOcter.

STAGE OF THE WATER.-l.ake Michigan

it has been at any time in century. Much
of the Lake shore is flooded over the entire
beach to the edge of the timber, aud the bor-

tensivc. Low swampy grounds are overflown
from the Lake. We observe on. whiskey

0E-TRe Halifar British American says:
There is no doubt whatever that gold
real veritablc gold-has been discovered in
Nova Scotia in large quantities and of great
purity. Samples have been forwarded to
scientific men in this city, ,cih strict hjunc-
tions to secrecy--nor will the parties confde
the locality of their diggings even to the men
whom they are consulting as to the quality
ofthe article they are digging. We are in
formed that telegraph dispatch has been
rec eived stating that people are flocking to
Annapolis from st. John, and that the rush
is so great that seamen cannot be got to man
the vessels in the Annapolis River. The
desire of the miners to keep their diggngs
secret is because the General Mining Asso-
ciuton claim all the mines and minerals o
Nova Scotia, and would of course seize on
any diggings of value that have been or may
be discovered

DANGEROUS CoUETERFEIT.-Some two
hundred dollars in ten dollar counterfeit bills
were passed off on some Of our merchants,
yesterday. The counterfeit character of the
bills was not detected until this morning
No one seems to remember the person or per-
sons who passed the money. The bills pur-
port to be one of the Ohio State Stock Banks
on the Miami Valley Bank of Dayton. It is
very neatly executed, though darker in it's
general appearance thgn the genuine bill.
The name of d. Adams, Register, across the
face of the bill, is written on the genuine
bill, and engraved on the coun 'erfeit. The
signatures on the counterfeit are easily de-
tected by comparison with the genuine,
though well calculated to deceive. As a
whole it is the most dangerous counterfeit we
have seen this long while. The one before
us is dated April Is, lS52.-Toledo B.ade.

The KNOWING MAN.--The Plaindealer
man assumes to drive the Democracy in this
quarter. though many of them CALLED by the
yoke, balk badly, and others refuse to "gee
and haw" at his command. Scores have
openly boIted the nominations of the party;
and hundreds are wavering. The Plaiddeal-
cr man is wonderfully knowing teamster,
but when he talks of his team of 2I4 votes
for PIERCE and KING, they know better and
take the other track. He is in the position
of the driver orthe OK team whom our SooTr
friend BOB WAGsTAFF of the Northern In
diana saw at Chicago. "Haw, haw" said
he to his two yoke of oxen, but they didn't
"haw." Enraged, he planted himself before
them and shouted, shaw ye darned critter,
know more than all four of ye!" but they
"gee'd," and as they rushed over the planks,
the driver left "alone in his glory" tainted.

CoUp DE SoLElL.--Two brothers named
Hagan were sun struck in Utica on Thurs
day. One died Immediately, and the other
was taken home, it was supposed, in a dy-
ing condition; his physician said he could
not survive ten minutes. Mr.. J. w.
Wright, acting upon the adage that "where
there's life there's hope" and as mere eX'
pertinent, placed the patients feet in warm
water, and the effect was Immediate and
remarkable. The sick man. who was in
sane, and suffering under extreme physical
excitement, in few moments became calm
and began to revive, and in short time was
apparently beyond danger, and at last ac-
counts was recovering. Phe Hagans were
natives Of Ireland, and were industrious
and respectable men. The remedy above
named is worth remembering.

unfortunately the lady of the house had CIV

house) to her visiting friends, to treat them
in the best manner she could, expecting to
inform their husbands on their return. All

THK LIVES OF THE CANDIDATES. We are
looking out keenly for that Life Of General
PIERCE, which score or more Of photographers
have gone to Concord to write. There
must be lively times for the inn-keepers oI
that momentary Mecca. Each room is doubt
less converted into the shrine of some de-
vout Howadj, whose pen all day vexes the
psperin recording the simple villuge annal
Of the county attorney. How many fugitive
traits, none less impressive than that candy
record which has come down to us in the
memory ola kindred spirit, will be perpetual
ed, and made part Of the national history
by those indefatigable men
1t will occur TO some folks that there is
in this matter contrast between the can
ddate of the Democrats, and the candl-
date of the Wings. To find any materials
for the life of Mr. PIERCE, you are not to con-
suit the history Of the country, or seek them
where gallant actions and great public SER
vices have been performed. The few en-
tries of his doings in public life had better
for personal reasons, be cxpunged, as they
reflect no credit on his individual character
and only hold out warnings against the illib'
erality of the statesman. You must 90 tC
Concord and in the Parish Register, the
Town Minute-book, and the Journal of thC
local Legislature, ascertain what an immense
benefit this village Capias has conferred up
on the country. Whereas, every page o
American History has its tributes TO tht
worth and services of WINFIELD ScorT
You must disconnect your mind from the ide'
of place or even section, and in every quar-
ter of the Union, and beyond its frontiers
there are materials for the life of ScoTT
