THE BADGER STATE
SFTNN,

The unpleasant duty devolves upon
US of announcing calamity to the steam
er Badger State, on her way from keo-
kuk to Fort Des Moines, by striking q
rock and sinking in about five feet wa
ter. The accident happened on Tues
day evening last, jus. before dark, abou,
one mile and half below this place
She was loaded with about no tons of
freight-35 tons for This place. and the
residue for numerous river and inland
towns above; the larger portion for Fort
Desmoines: besides some rs or 100 pas
sengers. We learn that the Boat is III
sured at ST. Louis for $4,000. The
freight was mostly insured at Keokuk.
Messrs. G. G.. Warden, d. p. Inskeep e.
Co., A. Nudge 81 Co., and Given &
Gillaspy, of this place. and Jos. Leigh
ton, Of Blakesburg, had freight on the
Boat.
we deplore this calamity, and sim
cerely sympathize with those who are
Immediately sufferers by il. What the
damage viii be, i, is impossible nowso
estimate; but i, must, in various ways,
be considerable, and will not be confined
to she insurers. owners or shippers. II
will discourage, we fear. the attempt 10
navigate the river, which we were in
dulging the hope would be persevered
in. II would not surprise us if the loss
in this instance should amount 10 sum
sufficient to clear The entire channel of
the river of distractions.

The New Remedy.

Large numbers of citizens of Balii.
more. satisfied with explain ations and
practical effects of the simple remedy of
DR.. Brainard. for the cure of defective
sight. have applied the means with G ca.
benefit. The following is taken from
The Republican and Argus of Tuesday
evening" American.
WONDERS NEVER CEAsE.-Last eve
ming tine large Hall of the Mary land In.
s,itute was crowded to its utmost capac.
ity to hear the lecture and witness the
experiments performed on the eye by
DR.. G.. Brainard, Of New York. The
DR.. having stated that he would make
the blind see. many thought it humbug,
and so pronounced il; but a, the close of
his interesting lecture, the DR.. gave a
general invitation 10 those who were
blind. near sighted or had weak eyes. to
come out on the platform and he would
do all that he professed. Quite num-
Der Of ladies and gentlemen went forward
and in the short space of three minutes
each declared their eyes had been i'm
proved. This morning we visited the
Dr's. room, Of the Institute, and while
there saw his simple application applied
70 lad aged about Ii years. and son of
Mr.. Nicholas Richer, No. 223 S. Chas.
street, who had been blind in the RICH,
eye for six years. After the cup had
been applied for The space of one minute,
is was removed when the lef. eye was
closed and The little fellow was request
ed to walk across the room. He imme-
diaiely complied with the request, and
cried on. "Fa.her, father. | can see!''-
He was then handed several articles. all
Of which he named correctly, and de-
scribed several persons who were stand
ing in the room. The Joy Of the father
and son can be better imagined than de-
scribed.
The application was applied 10 Mr.. c..
B. Cunningham, who resides at lag
Baltimore street, and had been blind for
80 years. He in the short space of three
minutes declared he could see distinctly,
and recognized several gentlemen he had
no. seen for 80 years. These are facts,
ard any one doubling them can call on
the above mentioned gentlemen and be
satisfied. DR.. Brainard's room was
crowded his morning with those who
were so unfortunate as to have bad eyes,
no. one Of whom who applied the APP
splica,ion but retired thanking him with
grateful heart. We regret thai DR..
BIS stay $50 short. for We are sure there
are thousands who wish 10 avail them
selves Of his wonderful cure. The DR..
will remain with US only short time, &
we would advise all who have the leas,
