wFCL DISASTER AT SEA...GREAT
LOSS OF LIFE!
Ship William and VI larry. of Bath, Me-.
Sunk, with over GOO Persons on Board.

The ship William and Mary, (of Bath, Me-, }
Capt. Stetson, sailed from Liverpool on the
l4th March, with 20S passengers, bound to
New Orleans, was totally lost on the morning
OF the Sd inst, the Great Isaacs bearing E. s.
T.. together with 202 of the passenges.
Capt. Stetson, the nate,- second mate, and
six OF the crew were picked upon the Sd inst,
in latitude 81 80, longitude 70 90, by the brig
Reuben Carver. from Sague La Grand, which
arrived at this port this forenoon.
Capt. Stetson gives the following particu-
lars of the disaster:
AHA. NJ, Sd May, strong breezes and from
S. E. and cloudy, passed the Hole-in-t he
Wall at IL Mer. Stirrup Key bore South,
10 miles distant, after which the weather be-
came thicker, and wind increased, with a
heavy sea. At sunset saw nothing of the
Keys, supposed we were we'll to the north
ward, after steering w. by N. from II Mer.
At s p. NJ, jndging ourselves to the North
ward and Westward otGreat lsaacs, kept the
ship w. by S. and commenced heaving the
lead At 8 found no bottom in % lathoms; at
8 ID the same; at 8 80 struck on a sunken rock
and hung, about midships, with ten fathoms
water all around.
|, After grounding heavily about - minutes
she went off and struck on another rock with
in a few rods of the first when she pounded u
few times and went off. We then lie go the
anchors, and commenced getting out the boats
the passengers at the pumps but could not
keep her free. At midnight found 4 feet wa
ter in the hold. At A. N weather black
and squally, with heavy sea, 8 feet water in
the hold, both pumps going; 7 A. NJ, 10 feet
water, and the ship going down, mates and
crew in the boats together with as many
passengers as could be slowed in the long
boat and life boat, the other two boats having
been steven after launching; at 8 A. NJ, left
her, and in q few minutes she went down, the
Great lsaacs bearing L. 5. E., miles distant.
After leaving the ship some hours, saw bark
apparently bound to Europe; hove to in the
direction of the long boat anu life boat. and
supposed she was engaged in picking them
up.
The w. end NJ. left Liverpool with sos
passengers, Including their cook and stewart
who nearly all went down in the vesse, to-
geather with two oftEe seamen aud the ships
steward, names unknown.-N Y. Trib.

The Race.

We had hoped that the telegraphic dispatch
published in the Journal yesterday, was fl
nal settlement of the race between the Shot
well and Eclipse. 1t was so considered till
Sunday evening, when the Eclipse, returning
from Louisville, her officers claimed TO have
beaten the Shotwell by at least 90 minutes.
They were DESTROYS of betting on the fact'
and succeeded both in getting some bets and
in making the question of victory doubtful
Very singularly, the Eclipse left Portland on
Saturday evening, when the Shotweil was
momentarily expected. She should Lave re-
NAMED till the Shotwel arrived, and the
question was definitely settled, instead of
starting away and claiming the victory, and
by bluffing bets OIL the way down, inducing
her friends to make wagers which may result
i'm loss to them. But we wish 20 give all
the information in our power about the re-
suit.
The packet Lady Franklin was down yes
terday morning. The officers state that at
Louisville it had been decided by the owners
of the boats that the Shotwell beat the
Eclipse from two to six minutes. Capt. Ma
gowan says to his knowledge bets on the
Eclipse had been given up, and he had given
up one he made on the Eclipse. 1. was the
general impression among all the passengers
on the Lady Franklin. that the Shotwell was
the successful boat. Be this as it may, the
Shotwell is entitled to the honor, as having
made the quickest running time. The Eclipse
lost forty minutes, andth Shotwell one hour
and over half, by accidents on the way.
From the Louisville Sunday Times we make
the following extract of the running of the
ShotweIl. The Times says:
"By the following memoranda Of her time il
will be seen that she beat the time of the
Eclipse minutes, her time being days.

ASI1n-FArRp RAIlRoAp CAR.-Tbe hist

AN ILL-FATED RAILROAD CAR.-The histo-
nv OF. one of the passenger cars which was
wrecked at NorwaIk, and so many of its in
mates killed, is indeed curious. 1t was built
abort year since and used for the first time
to convey Governor Seymour and suit from
Hartford to New Haven, on the occasion of
his Inauguration as Governor of Connect
cut. On the day following it was sent back
locked and empty, attached to one OF the
regular trains. From some cause, never vet
explained, it flew off the track, went down a
steep embankment. and was badly shattered.
1t was subsequently repaired, and in Septem-
Der or October last. formed part of the ex-
press train from this city which was so badly
injured at Windsor Locks, Conn. On this
occa sion il was tire last car, and went off the
bridge into the water and sunk. Several of
its passengers were killed. and all more or
less injured. At Norwalk it was the second
passe oyer cor that went offthe draw, the sad
effects of which awful leap are too well known
to require REPETITION Its owners had better
give it its freedom, for it has done mischief
enough.-[N. Y. Herald.

WHEsNEwspapERs PLEAsE.-The London


Leader, one Of the most piquant Journals that
reach us, thus felicitously explains the secret
of newspaper popularity:-"lt NAV be very
wise to see both sides of question, ana 10
be more anxious about v hat can be SAID
against you, than what can be said Tor you'
but the fact is that the object of most men In
buying newspaper is to enjoy the statement
of their own inarticulate notions an the shape q
artistical Development and expression. "A read
err never so thoroughly enjoys paper as when
he can say, That is exactly what have said
mvself;' and he always tries to buy that pa
per which can give to his own opinions an air
of the greatestpoint and wisdom. 1T look
ing into mirror which tells him, not the SUI
perficial aspect, so inadequate to the express
sion of his real beauty and dignity, but tn at
inner truth which is more perfect portrait
of the whole man; mirror uhich makes Stmp-
son see pi Ers orcn eyes the Socrates that ne tee"
himself TO be. For this reason it is to be Ia
ken that the papers which are purchased re-
present the opinions of their purchasers.

masons On the Battle Ground.

Notwithstanding the Indictment weather of
Wednesday, goody number OF Masons and
others assembled OH the Battle Ground. The
order of exercise was as follows:
Music by the Brass Band.
Prayer by Rev. Mr.. Graham.
Grafton by Judge Naylor.
Music by the Band.

and DR.. -, of Kentucky.
Music by the Band.
Prayer by Rev. +. Hathaway.
Ample provisions was made for all in at
tendance, and after dinner the meeting adj
journed in good time toreach the city per
steamer Financier, before night.
1t raiDed almost necessarily during the
delivery Of the Grafton by Judge Naylor, and
hearing the whole of it. The address OF the
Judge abound in graphic narrations ofFn-
cidents connecte with The Tippecanoe Bat
tie Ground, on the memorable morning of the
18th of November, 1911, all of which were
witnessed by the speaker himself, and one
other person present-Mr. Moore. All eyes
followed the finger of the speaker as he poin-
ted out different localities, trees, mounds, &c.
all characteriz d by some incident yet fresh
in the memory of the old soldier
Efforts will be made immediately to raise
funds from the different Lodges in Indiana,
Kentu ckey and Ohio to carry out the design
of the order, in erecting a monument to the
memory Of Col. Davies and his compatrots in
the war. 1t is laudable object, and we are
assured will succeed.-[ Lafayette Cour.

IFAs there is no topic of Importance to
write about, abroad, at present, we have
thought proper to notice the improvements OF
our thriving town, aud in doing so we do not
expect to find time or room to notice every
branch of business on the present occasion.
Mt. Vernon Gaz.
Now, herein lies the mistake of editors To-
Gated away from the larger cities. They ap
pear to think every thing else more import
ant than such notices of the improvements
of their own places of habtation, as might
enable strangers to TO- m some definite idea Of
their size, prosperity and business. Now, we
should like to ask the Gazette and be answer.
ed-what greater object of Importance could
its editor find to write about than the I'M
proyements of its own thriving town, and
tn ngs connected directly Herewith! We
ask every brother editor who lives in a village
town or small city, the sam question. How
can he editorially make his paper more
pleasing to subscribers at home! BY wha'
kind Of discussion can he make it more
sought for abroad! National questions are
questions Of but small Importance to the
little community, by the eide of some of their
own local questions. Make local papers
that's the idea.

of Comptroller Flagg, of New York city, tn >
amount of fees paid to the corporation altor-
ney and counsel for the year lS52-besides
certain perquisites not incuded-amounted
to the enormous sum of serenty-one thousand

cents. The sum exceeds the aggregate sal.
aries of the Governors of thirty States in
GLIDING California, the salary of the Cover
nor of which is ten thousand dollars. The
interest on this sum at New York legal rates
would amount to the very respectable income
of FIVE thousand dollars, sum quite suffi
cient for any city officials salary.
