HIGHWAY OF THE OCEAN.-An article
in Chambers Journal, entitled " Steam
around the Cape" contains the following
explanatory remarks'
" Persons who do not pay special at
tention to nautical matters are likely
enough to suppose that, considering the
large number Of vessels at sea- the sur
face of the great ocean must be dotted
over, almost in every part, with the sails
of the countless fleet. This, however, is
not the case the ocean, lGe the land,
has its frequented highways and its wide
regions of loneliness. Ii an observer,
furnished with forty-Herschel- telescope
power of vision, could be elevated to a
height great enough to give him aview Of
the whole Atlantic, he would be struck by
beholding hundreds Of vessels following
one another upon certain lines along a
very irregular course, while over a yer!
large portion Of the surface not a sail
would be visible.
"Thus he would see the ships which
leave this country for the Cape or India
pursue at the first asouth-wcsterly course
until they reached the neighborhood o
Madeira, then keep more directly to the
south, at safe distance from the African
coast, until they crossed the line; ther
stretch away again to the southwest, II
the direction of South America, till they
gain the Zone Of westerly winds ant
finally, making rather sharp turn into
these winds, go bowling along before then
to the eastward till they arrive at the Cape
or else, if SO directed, pass to the south
ward of 1t.
"On the return voyage similar cir
cuitous route is pursued, although thC
courses are in some extent reversed, tht
widest circuit, or deviation from the direc
line, being made in the northern instead
of the southern hemisphere. In the ex
tensive spaces on either sidecf these fire
quented routes few vessels will be seen
Here and there an African trader nigh
occasionally be perceived, dodging from
port to port or a SLAYER scudding swiftly
across the ocean-perhaps with roya
cruiser following steadily upon her track
like fierce bloodhound in pursuit"

On Sunday. afternoon information was
sent 10 the Mayor that numerous dead
bodies were lying on the ground in The
Lafayette Cemetery, anburied, for the
want of force to perform the work Of sep
ulture. The Chairman Of the Committee
on Cemeteries. Mr. Kurshedt, appointed
by the Board of Health, repaired to the
spot about dark. Near there he found the
"chain.gang," which had been employed
from early in the afternoon in the work ol
burial, coming away, having been unable
to inter all the bodies. He prevailed on
them, by promises of extra pay and sup.
per, to go back and resume the work. On
arriving at the Cemetery, he found seven.
ly-one bodies laying piled on the ground
swollen and bursting their coffins. and en-
veloped in swarms Of flies. The chain
gangs were set to work buryng them, and
by 81 o clock yesterday they were all IT,
TERED. Orders we're given, we have been
informed by the competent authority, that
no more bodies should be sent to that
cemetery yesterday. One cause Of the
pressure Oh this cemetery was, as we have
been informed, The impossible slate oil

A most distressing accident causing
the immediate death Of man in Wilson
Township in this county occurred on last
Saturday. Two brothers both men OF
families, named Joseph and Eli Barlow,
started with guns in pursuit Of a Hook Of
wild turkies that happened TO be passing
through the neighborhood. Just before
coming up to the turkeys the brothers
separated, and as Joseph was passing
the fence ofa cornfeld he heard what he
supposed to be the call OF turkey, and
on stopping to look for it he discovered,
through the crevice ofthe fence, some.
thing black which he took to be the tur.
key, and Immediately fred, when the OBJ.
act fell to the ground. He commenced
reloading his gun, when his ear caught
as,range sound coming from the direction
Of the supposed turkey, and upon his ad
vancing near TO it he discovered that it
was the head of his brother Eli that he
had shot. At this awful discovery he
gave a wild shrek and fell senseless 10
the ground. Here he was found soon
after by some young men who were near
by and who had heared his Shrek
