PERANCE r. FORM.
THE EXPLOSION OF THE GLENCOE
TuECAuaU

4
We made mention in yesterday issue, Of the
fact that Mr.. john Ryan, one Of the assistant
engineers on the steamer Glencoe, had made
some dying declarttions IN relation To the ex-
plosion Of the boies Of this III. fated boat. Yes.
terday noon we met with two brothers Of the
deceased, who were present when these dis.
closures were made and from them CLEAN the
following facts 10 substance the same as said
BY Ryan on his desth-bed.
A short time previous to his death, Mr.
Ryan called those in bis room, among whom
were his two brothers, residents Of Alton, Mr..
Samuel Rogers q respectable brass founder on
North Main street and Others. and told them
that he desired to make a statement preyious 10
bis death, which he felt assured was near at
hand.
lie then went on to state that, on the even
ing Of the arrival q the Glencoe at this mort
himself and George Bachanan, first engineer Of
the boat, were o. watch. Some time before
reaching port he kyan) tried the water in the
boilers and found b very low, and called TO B.
and Informed bin Of the fact, and received
some evasiye answer He again tried the water,
and again called O Buchanan. who told him to
mind his business iha. there was water enonvb
in the boilers, aud he would take her with h 10
st. Louis or 10 ALL
Not satisfied yan expostulated, and Bu-
ehanau told him dbstance that il was his
lBuchanan's wat and that he (Ryan) had no.
hing q Do F piag 20, and, moreover.
that iihe tkgaalh haa hls way be would have
the water from tlig boilers running out at the
tops Of the chimfeya. Subsequently Buchanan
remarked that tie boat was making good time,
and be would take her into st. Louis kiting.-
This was perhaps the last remark made, and
when the boat reached the wharf and commenc-
ing trying to eifecta landing, Buchanan turn
ed on the gage. cock and let on the water. The
instant the cold water came in contract with
the heated boilers now nearly dry, the explo-
sion took place.
This statement YVES made, we understand.
over three or four times, at the solicitation Of
the dying mans friends, who thought, perhaps,
bis mind was wandering. He was told the
weight and importance Of bis declaration, aud
was asked If he was not out of his right mind,
to which he replied, that he was perfectly Cou-
'cious OF what he was saying and doing that his
declaration were facts, and that he designed
making the same statement in the event Of his
recovery, and now that he felt conscious of his
end. he was the more anxious to
his mihd. Ia short time after, Mr..
Ryan breathed bis last.
We give the facts Substantially as related to us,
without exaggeration. Comment is unnecessary,
the declarations speak for themselves.--(St.

TERRIBLE VENGEANCE ON THE SEDUCER OF A
WIFE.-A Paris correspondent Of the transcript
relates the following.
"An act OF savage vengeance, which was per-
petrated last week, near the Opera House in the
rue Lepeletiere, gavorise to judicial investig1-
ton, which has revealed the following curious
facts:
A Spanish uublemau, the Count T., sew
eral years ago, went TO reside in England where
he obtained letters Of naturalization. This no.
bleman was married to a lady Of his country
whcss beauty created great sensation in the
saloons Of London. The Countess excited the
most ardent adniration in all who approached
her, and a rich Englishman, who was passion
ately enemoredOf her, and they eloped together.
With the uniting jealousy Of Spaniard, the
Count pBrsued the fugitives and after a search
that was long in vain, he overlook them in
Switzerland. He there fought the Euglishruan
and was sgysrziy wounded. A. soon az he re.
covered he sought his antagonist, and another
duel took place 1t Milan, ia which the Count
was Ogain wounded, aud the man who had so
wronged him estaped his resentment. Thirst
ing for revenge, the Spaniard last week over
took his rival in Paris, but this time he was I'M
willing to commit his vengance to the uncer-
tain chances 10 another duel.
TIE Count had onre had Belgian servant
over whom he exercised an extraordinary ascen-
dancy, and who bad, on several occasions, dis
played an almost fanatical devotion to him
He met his servant in Paris, and the servant
promised to avenke him. The accomplices sta
TONED themselves on the Boulevards de Italions,
where they learned That the Englishman wonld
pass at a late hO1F. As he approached the SER

snlphuric acid, and Immediately escaped in a
fiacre which wasin waiting. The Engishman,
whose wounds are very serious, SO that he is
hopelessly blind easily diviued whence this at
tack proceeded. The Count aud his servant
were arrested, and the proofs adduced against
them, we're 50 strong that they confessed their
guilt.

FEEDING CALVES. Give them what Is nalu-
raj, viz: sweet milk; and, as they advance pro-
vide them with some additional nourishing food
OF rather solid nature but not too strong
When properly nursed and we'll kept, calves get
strong before winter, the severity Of which
they are thus enabled to withstand, more espe-
cially If descended Of stock with plenty Of hair.
III fed calves on the contrary, suffer severely in
winter, and often fall victims to the parsimony
of their owners. An idea is entertained BY
some breeders that if all their cows produce
calves they are sure to be well paid; but one
good calf Is better than three bad ones. Many
animals which would have made good oxen,
heifers or cows, are ruined when calves; they
may recover, bat not when young, SO that the
early maturity Of such animals can never be at
tanned. Every days neglect in properly feed
ing calves retards their maturity; while every

described, nothing but the best Of food must be
supplied to the calves, otherwise they will cut

consequently, there was no damage done, al

the train was stopped, one of the brakemen dis

age, running at the top Of his speed from the

he ran after and overlook him. The boy vol

What horrible association of terms! And

one OF them the other day, and huve concluded
that a second edition of Gen. Cary's Saratoga
speech is called for. In that speech the Cen

was accustomed to get very happy singing his
favorite hymn, as the whisky stream came
running along
Come thou foHnt of every blessing,
Tune my heat to to sing thy grace;
Streams Of mercy never ceaSing,
Call for songs OF loudest praise"
The Generals speech called the attention Of
the church to thatkind Of a member, and be.

PooR GRLl-Yesterday afternoon girl
about Is years Of age, was placed in the Watch
House for drunkenness. The fact Of one 50
young being drunk, led some of the persons
connected with the police department to en-
quire into her condition. She told her history
this morning as follows. About two weeks since
she was enticed from her home in Clarksburgh,
Virginia, under a promise Of marriage. Sh3
accompanied her betrotheG to this city. He
procured her boarding with a clone widow, :"
in the neighborhood Of Dublin street, on the
side Of Mt. Adams; and then left her, to re-
turn, as he said, in a few days. She has seen nor
heard nothing of him since.
A few days since some Irish persons, in the
neighborhood got into a row, and this unsophis
ticated girl was brought forward as witness
againt them, and her testimony induced the
Mayor to punish them To revenge themselves,
they yesterday persuaded her to drink. She
took but little liquor but enough to make her
drunk. They then put her into the street, and
sent for an officer to arrest her She is young,
uneducated and unacquMnted with the ways Of
the world, and says, she had no idea, until this
morning that harm was intended her by any
one.
Her statement, backed as It was by an honest
countenance was readily believed by all pre-
sent. Sergeant Evans, of the Second Ward
police, offered TO procure means TO send her
home Immediately but it was thought best to
commit her for the present to the House Of Re
fuge.
This is the second case of this character which
has reached our ears within few days.
