EBB TIDE.-During the Jenny Lind mania, when
concert tickets rose from fifty cents. to ten, fifteen
twenty, and two hundred dollars piece, prices in
a variety Of other matters rose in like proportion
All the hotels, during this mania, increased their
board and charges, some from 81 to 81, and somo
from 81 80 to 81 80. Since then however, we be-
lieve all arc returning to their senses. Concert
tickets are down to fifty cents again, and some to
twenty-five cents All the principal hotels are
coming down also. The Irving House and other
hotels--all beginning to run over-sre at their old
figure again--$2 day and no questions asked

The Law of Distractions on Railroads.

Judge Gibson, in case tried at Pittsburg
before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
where a suit was brought to recover of the
Erie Railroad the price of an animal which
had been killed on the road, laid down the
doctrine that an owner of cattle, killed or
injured on railway, has no recourse to the
company or its servants; and that he is la-
bic for damages done by them TO the company
or the passengers" The Court below had
given different judgment, and Judge Gibson,
in reversing it, said;
'The irresponsibility of railway company
for all but negligence or wanton injury, is a
necessity of its creation. A train must make
the time necessary to fulfil its engagements
with the post-ofice and the passengers and
it must be allowed to fulfil them at the sacri-
fee Of secondary interests put in its way, else
it would not fulfil them at all. The maxim
Of sala,s pop,tlP' would be inverted, and the
paramount affairs of the public would be
postponed TO the petty concerns Of the lndi-
yidual. Every obstruction Of a railway IS
unlawful, mischievons, and ahate4ble ct the
cost Of the owner of it, without regard to his
ignorance or intention The lives Of human
beings are not to be weighed in the same
scales with the lives of farmers or graz
ier's stock and their preservation is not 10
be left to the care which naa takes Of his
uncared for cattle"

Close Of Volume II.

The present number brings us to the end Of
the sixth year since the Gazette has been in
our hands, much longer period we believe
than was usually allotted to publishers Of
this paper-during which ne have endeav0red
70 make it a vehicle of useful information and
at the same time sujsoryc the interests and
advocate the doctrines Of party with which
we have been connected for the last seventeen
or eighteen years. Though occasionally cen
aured by one here and another there-fault
found with this or that-Gnd sometimes mis-
represented or abused-there is one substan-
tai evidence that we have never been far
wrong, namely, a good and steadily increas-
ing list Of subscribers, which assures Us that
eli the main we have represented the will and
wishes Of the Wings as well perhaps as any
other could have done under the same circunl-
Stances.
There is however still room FOR additional
support. and if we are expected TO devote our
:.,ae and energies TO the publication of the
tazotte-iu short, if the wings desire to re
tam us IN the post we have now filled for the
Tine above mentioned-it ought to be extend
ea not only by additional subscriptions but
ly prompt payment of all dues to the Office.
U'c have for some years endea7ored to make
% both ends meet" by paying in cash all ne
eessary expenses in the household or Office
snd BY some eztraueous aid during that time
have been enabled to do 50, as well as replen-
ish the Office with an entire new stock Of ma
to.iaI. Now we are again entirely dependent
yn the receipts Of the establishment for con
dacting It's affairs as well as our living"
and under such circumstances it is hardly ne
yassary 10 say that we need all we earn, and
Gould we'll use al due US.

attack Of Sopages upon an american Brig.
We learn by private letters from Rio de Ja-
metro that the American Brig Mary Adeline,
4. Oaksmith, Of New York, master, arrived
at that port ON the 9th of August, from the
coast OF Africa, where she had most peril
Gus and thrilling adventure with sayages on
the river Congo. She was bound into the
river, with a valuable cargo from Rio Janeiro,
and, on rounding Shark Point, unfortunately
got aground near the shore The natives
seeing her helpless condition, focked to the
shore to plumber the vessel. and, in the course
of the day, their numbers amounted to some
three thousand. They made a furious and
savage assault on the vessel, which was most
bravely and gallantiy defended by Captain
Oaksmith and his crew for some hours, tillthe
British armed brigantine Dolphin, which was
fortunately in the river, came TO his rescue.
aud saved the vessel and cargo, and the lives
of all on board, Iiiough not without the los.
Of life ON rlic part ot' the sayages On the
following day the British steamship Firehy
came into The river. and promptly rendered
every possible aid, together with the Dol phin,
TO relieve the Mary Adeline, which was a;
length got aAo2t and enabled 10 pursue her
voyage witboa, much loss or damage.-Nclr
