pThe steamer Hiram Poacers was burned
to the waters edge on the 7th inst, while lying
at wood yard on the Wabash river, 80 miles
above its mouth. The Powers was bound for
Pittsburgh and laden with barrel pork, bulk
meat, tobacco, ETC., taken mostly from the
wreck Of the steamer Bride, which boat was
sunk in that river several weeks ago. The fire
originated on the after deck. The Powers was
scuttled in 81 feet water at the bow, and feet
at the stern. A considerable quantity of the
pork will be saved. No lives lost. She was
owned in Cincinnati Most of the crew and
passengers came up on the Telegraph.

UThe fire alarm telegraph in Boston has
now been in operation one year, and the results
obtained by its use have been most manifest
and important. The number of false alarms,
as compared with the previous year, has been
reduced from seventy three to ten, and the
number of alarms by fires out of the city, from
forty two to six. Each alarm costs the city
about 800, and the amount saved by their pre-
vention is therefore not an iuconsiderable item
Temporary difficulties have been met in the
working Of the system, but these are becoming
less frequent and more easily overcome at the
details of it are better understood.

A 1tco Million Dollar Diamond-The
Goshen, N. Y, Democrat and Wing, tells the
fnllnwinr nneer storu.

A 1wo Million Dollar Diamond.-The
Goshen, N. Y, Democrat and Wing, tells the
following queer story:
Having recently heard much of the reported
good fortune of the Rev. Robert Armstrong, OF
Newburg, in purchasing among other minerals,
what he supposed was topaz, but which turned
out to be a diamond, we have takin pains to get
at the real facts of the case, who find them to
be these: Mr.. Armstrong, who has for some
time past devoted much of his leisure time to
meteorological pursuits purchased lot of min
erals some months since, of an Enlishman in
New York, among which was supposed to be
topaz.
Upon re-examination of these minerals, a
considerable time after their purchase-Mr.
Armstrong was struck with the close resem-
blance of this supposed topaz to the real dia-
mond, and was led to subject it to test of its
qualities. This test confirmed his hopes and
the opinion Of others acquainted with the SUBJ
ject was sought, and given in favor of the valua-
Bile character Of the gem. Mr.. A. has been
offered $500,O00 for one talf of the brilliant,
but has declined the proposition. Its weight is
two and a half ounces, and if a real diamond,
its value will be more than $2,OO0,00O.
Mr. A. is now taking measure to have the
character of the mineral put to the severest
scrutiny, and we believe he has little doubt but
that scrutiny will result according to his wishes
If diamond, it is the largest known in the
world. 1t has passed in disguise through seve-
raj hands, its valuable qualities not having been
discovered by the person who originally took
it from the earth, nor by any into whose pos.
session it subsequently passed, until it fell be.
meath the scrutiny of the present possessor.-
If genuine, it will put the reverend gentleman
in possession of immense wealth, and this
wealth we have no doubt he will use in q CON-
mendable way.

Coolness.-The last case of perseverance un.
der difficulties, and coolness in the midst Of
danger, that has fallen under our observation,
was developed by the testimony of Dana, the
porter of the steamer Atlantic, in the great coll
iision case now pending. He stated that at the
time of the collision he was engaged in black
ing boots in the barber,s shop, and that having
stiIl some half dozen pairs unfinished, he appli-
cd to his brother deck hand, who who assist
him in finishing them while the vessel was gra-
dually sinking.--Cogumbia( CO., Statesman.

The Coming Of Spring.
BY JOHN Cara MILLER.

BY JOHN CARA MILLER.
Now co,neth DER the mountains,
And DER the smiling plain,
Oer valley, grove and fountain,
The Pleasant spring again;
A golden glory beaming
Arond her fairy form,
Like rainbow banners cleaning,
Where sweet the rushing storml
The forest flowers are peeping
From out the icy earth,
Escaped from winters keeping
The brooks rejoice in mirth.
The early birds are singing
Within the solemn grove,
And all around are ringing
The melodies of love.
A melancholy sadness
Is mine, | know not why,
When all is joy and gladnes
Beneath the glorious sky;
When spring with garlands laden,
Comes DER the howery plain,
Then, like a love-born maiden,
! feel exquisite pain!
Twas thus with me in childhood
As oft as vernal flowers
Had passed above the wildwood
Were slept the tiny flowers,
And wooed them from their sleeping,
A strange and dreaming boy,
1passed among them weeping,
Nor felt the common joy.
And now, when shines the glory
OF springs transparent skies,
And winter, old and hoary,
To polar regions flies
When light, and life and gladness,
Their blessedness impart,
Ifeel that olden sadness
Come stealing DER my heart.
A vague prophetic warning
May whisper in the soul,
AS DER the skies of morning
The storm precursors roll
A shadowy, dim uncertain
Soul-spectre from may stand,
To lift the pale cloud curtain
Which wells the unseen landi
