ARRIVAL OF TWO CLIPrERs -ExrRAoR-

" Hornet" several hours ahead. Outside
the Heads at New York, she was becalmed
until the "Flymg Cloud" came up with
her, when they started together, and have
reached their destination almost simultane-

to this port on record. From the memo

much worse weather than her rival, having
had her jib-boom carried away in gale, as
well as her chief officer and one of her sea-
men washed overheard and lost. These

this season, and, considering all the crcum-

The Election Over.

The excitement of the election is now
ovcr-the Democracy is triumphant, and
everything will pass along smoothly for a
year or two. The same good feeling that
at one day, existed between our fellowcit-
izens will again return, and each man will
feel as though he was made to assist his
neighbor, Il is true, some men, who at
tempted to gain power by deception and
professed independence, may feel sore for
a time, as the people were not to be gull
led in that way. We cannot but sympa-
thise with these boilers, Notwithstanding
our opposition to them. In fact, they need
the sympathy of their opponents, as not
one of them was elected in this county,
Senatorial or Representative district

L.;ouor A advertisements.

Horace Greeley says that some of his
friends think that he ought to exclude all
liouor advertisements from the columns of
the Tribune on account of his being an
ultra temperance man, and advocate of
the Maine Law; but after pondering on
the subject, considerably he thinks he
ought not to do it, for several very sen-
sible reasons, which he mentions as fol-

TERRIBLE AcC1DENT-MANY LIVES
PROBABLY LosT.-Y Yesterday afternoon
about 9 o'clock, as number of workmen
were at work on the old steamer Sacra-
mento, near the Dry Dock, tearing it to
pieces, the upper part of the boat or the
cabin which was in a tottering condition,
fell down with a tremendous crash, part
going into the river On the boiler-deck
of the boat, under the cabin, were anum-
Der of children. engaged in picking chips
and pieces of the wrecked boat. Some of
them were taken from the wreck, while it
is thought that others are beneath the pile
of rubbish At late hour last night it
was thought that some seven lives were
lost. Two grown persons, workmen on
the boat, are missing, and are supposed to
have been drowned. Much excitement
was manifested, and number of frantic
mothers and fathers were on the ground
in search of their children and friends
We could not ascertain the names of any
of the parties supposed to be lost. The
full facts cannot be ascertained before TO-
day.-Cn Gazette.

Hancock County Fair.

We had the pleasure of being present
at the fair in Findley. For new county,
we thought it very well arranged and
good fair. The ladies presented quite an
array of fine needle work. They had
some of the most beautiful quilts ON the
ground we ever saw. The riding was
very good; but we could scarcely decide
between three of the ladies, as to which
was entitled to the reward The wealth
er was fine during the whole of the fair,
and the people turned out in large num-
bers; and taking all in all everything went
off very pleasantly.

Revolutionary war when drafts were
made from the militia to retreat the con-
tinental army, a certain captain gave
liberty to the men drafted from his COM

any, against goinginto service, according
ly one of them, who had an impediment
in his speech, came forward and made
his bow.
"What is your objection ?" said the
captain.

Look out Girls!

We see it stated as warning to girls,
that scoundrel named JAMES MARARD re-
Gently stopped at St. Louis having in COM
pany with him young lady whom he had
married only seven daysbefore at Decatur
in Illinois. While in Decatur he professed
to be minister of the Gospel, preached
sermons, held prayer meetings, and other
wise affected the manners and calling of a
clergyman. This lady, to whom he was
united, married him under the belief that
he was preacher After remaining at
st. Louis few days, he fled, leaving his
wife in a destitute condition, at the hotel
where he stopped. 1t has since been as
certa;ned that he had stolen the horse and
carriage, ana large quantity of valuable
goods, at Alton. The young lady, thus
deceived and deserted, returned to her
mother in Decatur. She probably mar
ried the man as too many young ladies do,
after few weeks acquaintance, knowing
nothing of his previous lie. A little pru-
dence. on the part Of young ladies, and as
much disc, elton as they would exercise IN
buying new dress, would save many OF
them the shame and modification of such
deception.

The outrage at the chineese Islands.

The outrage AT the Chmeese lsianuss
The outrage committed upon Captain
McCerren, of the " Defiance - and other
American Captains, by the Peruvian Coin
mandants, at the Chinese Islands, is of
a more serious character than appeared
from the first reports. The difficulty
originated by one of the crew of the De-
fiance killing pelican with the stoke of an
oar while he and three comrades were out
fishing. This happening near the guard
ship, the men were seized and taken on
board, Captain McCerren, missing his
men, sent the mate in search, who, ascer-
tanned that they were on board the guard
ship, in irons, inquired the cause of their
detention, and was informed that they
had killed a bird contrary to the regula
tions of the place. The mate asked the
amount of the fine and being answered.
that it was one dollar, he tc.adered it to
the Lieutenant, who refused to received
IiS, and persisted in keeping the men in
irons, and chained to the deck.
Capt. McCerren and Capt. Beatty then
sought the release of the men offering to
pay any amount of fine, as tie Defiance
was preparing to sail. They were also
refused, and when Captain McC. remon-
strated, he was surrounded by an armed
force, and sent to his ship under guard
Next day there was meeting of Ameri-
can shipmasters and they waited on the
Commander, who refusing to hold any in
terview with them, ordered his force,
amounting to sixty men, under arms,
and without warning with fixed bayonets,
drove the ship-masters, over the side of
the guard ship. Several were bayoneted
and beaten with muskets. Captains Nc
Cerren, Beatty, Burnham, Ellery, Hallet

we're wounds.
When the Defiance was leaving port she
fired one OF her guns as signal of her de-
parture, when she was followed by boats
from the guard ship and Peruvian steamer
and boarded A fine of$2O was demand
ed and paid, when the Peruvian officer,
misapprehending some few remarks, flew
into rage, and ordered his men to the as
sault. Shots were fired, and Captain Nc
Cerren was struck on the head with car
|
bine, and then with boarding axe, which
laid his skull bare. He was then seizes,
bound, and taken prisoner to the guard
ship, where he was ironed and left lying
near the gangway. The Defiance was
then surrounded by the Peruvians, who
sent her to Callao. The Americans,
though possessing force to avenge them
selves, restrained their rage. and decided
to leave the matter of redress to their Gov
ernment. Captain McCerren's life is con-
sidered in great danger. Mr.. Clay, our
Minister to Peru, has promptly taken the
matter in hand, and the Peruvian Govern
ment will, we trust, be taught lesson it
will not soon forget.-N y San.

Collision on the Ohio & PENNSYLVANIA
Rail Road.

A collision occurred, about two O. clock
yesterday afternoon, between the mail
trains, east and west, of the Ohio q Pen
nsylvania Rail Road when about three
miles this side of Alliance. 1t appears
that the train going east was behind time,
and the train going west started from AL
lance, Mr. Solomon w. Roberts, Chief
Engineer of the road, who was on the
other train, assumed the grave RESPONSE
bility of mounting the engine q setting the
machinery in motion with his own hands;
and the trains consequently met, with a
violent conclusion. The number of per-
sons injured is yariously estimated, at not
less than six, or more than twelve. One
man, named James B. Garvey, who re-
sides in Washington county, Pennsylva-
MIA, had leg nearly torn off, rendering
amputation necessary. 1t is thought he
cannot recover. The baggage was scat.
tered around in every direction.
Mr.. Roberts, whose rash conduct has
produced results so serious, states that he
sent telegraphic dispatch from Massillor
to Alliance, ordering the conductor of the
train going west to wait until he arrived
We learn that this dispatch never lef
Massilon the lines not being in working
order; and as Mr.. Roberts started away
before this fact could be made known to
him by the operator at this station, the
catastrophe resulted as we have above
stated. Instead of communicating with
the operator himself, he told third per
son to have it sent. The explanation
may possibly satisfy the Board OF Direc
tors; but should the affair be judicially in
yestigated, some other defence must bt
originated.
From the following call for a publ,
meeting of our citizens, it will be seer
that strong determination exists tc
thoroughly investigate the causes which
produced this occurrence:
We, the undersigned, citizens of Mas

killed by them. The whites are form

have to suffer, for they have carried on
their depre dations long enough. Another
