A New LIFE BoAr.-Mr. DAM

A New LIFE BoAT.-Mr. Daniel
Wadsworth, a well-known boat builder
in this city, has recently constructed a
new life or surf boat, of an original and
ingenious model, which we believe is
destined to come into general use. 1t
is self bailing, all the water which it
might ship escaping through three
valves in the bottom. 1t is also furn-
ished with an air-tight deck, so that
were the bottom forced of, it would
float equally as well. 1t is very light
and buoyant, and floats easily and grace
fully upon the water. Five men stand
ing upon the gunwale are only able to
bring it to the water, and as fast as the
water is received it is at once let out BY
the valves we have referred to. 1t is
capable of carrying twenty-five men,
The boat also combines many other i'm
provements which we have not mention
ed, but which in themselves are ex-
tremely desirable and important.

unnatural and foolish is the complaint OF

God is everywhere, and always mindful
of his offspring. Atheism sinks sbash-
ed, as it beholds, on its page, written in
heavens purest light. "Verily, there is
a God" The man of piety, when
wearied by the cares of business, will
find refreshment and repose in contem-

THE DRoUTH.-We. are receiving
fearful accounts of the drouth from al
most every section of the country
The earth is Utterly dried and burned up.
1t is estimated that the wheat crop OF
the country will fall 80. 600, 900 bushels
short of the usual mark, and other crops
are cut of proportionately. 1t is now
ffty-four days since rain fell in any
quantity in the vicinity of Rochester,
and the drouth is equally severe in 9TH
er places; so that it is regarded as un-
precedented in severity as well as in ex-
tent. 1t is some consolation to hear
that Texas has been blessed with rains
and an abundant harvest, and that Cali
fornia has grown so much wheat that
she will be able to export. But with
the prospect of potatoes at 81 or more
a bushel, and other things in keeping,
what are the poor to do? If it would
but rain now, some evil might be avert,

Dsy-Tbe Cleveland Herald of Wed.

DRr.-The Cleveland Herald Of We'd
nesday says:
The drought is making sad havoc
among the shade trees all over the city,
many noble elms are already leaf -
and others are dying. The fine ma rs
too are thinning out, and the borer has
done. or is doing. the work Of death on
nearly every locust. The native oaks
and chestnuts still live. but flourish on
ly in dust. Their former bright emer-
aid is mottled and turning to prema-
ture yellow.
The earth is baked dry to an unpre-
cedented depth. In digging cellars lit
tie or no moisture is found at eight or
nine feet. No wonder the elms and
naples wither and die.
In the adjacent country the drought
is quite as severe. In some localities
cattle have % be foddered as in mid
winter, and We have heard of farmers
cutting down forest trees for the leaves
and browse. Every sign of rain has
failed, and now the signs themselves
The sun rules the day unclouded.

FoRKIeE NEws.-The New York
Herald contains the following editorial
summary of the foreign news by the
America and the Union:
The movements of the Anglo French
forces on the one side, and of the Aus
TRANS on the other, were assuming an
activity and decision that promised to
lead to stirring events. On the morn
ing of the 3Oth the Russians attacked
the Turkish and French camps at Giur-
gevo, but were totally defeated with the
loss of 5000 killed and large number
of prisoners. They had Quilted Frates-
chi. which had been occupied by the
Turks, and were concentrating their
forces on the Sereth. This movement
was to be expected, as, with the Aus
trians threatening their rear, it would
have been madness for them to attempt
to hold their positions in the Lower
Principality. Omer Pachs was expect
ed to arrive at Bucharest on the 31st.-
The evacuation Of Wallachia is now
stated to be complete.
In the meanwhile Austria is moving
vast bodies of troops toward the Wal
lachian frontier. The army under
Prince Lichtenstein had received orders
to advance from Pesth 10 Gallacia, and
the force in the latter place to advance
toward the Lower Principally. The
frontiers had not as yet been crossed,
but the preparations for hostilities on
the part of Austria are said to be on a
colossal scale. The amount of the force
which she is assembling on the frontiers
is asserted to be $50, 900 men, but we
apprehend there must be some exag-
geration in this estimate, as no previous
movements of her troops that have
reached US would give anything like this
result. 1t is significant of the part
which Prussia is likely to play in the
approaching struggle in the Principali-
ties, that the Gear has made no warlike
demonstrations on her frontier.
It seems now to be finally determined
to make a grand demonstration against
the Crimea. On the 18th grand
council of war was held at Varna, at
which Omer Pacha and the allied gen.
erals were present. In consequence, we
presume, of the decision came to at this
meeting, Generals Canrobert and Brown
were sent with the feet to reconnoitre
the Crimean coast. The London Times
asserts positively that an Anglo French
force of from 10000 to 100000 men
were immediately to endeavOr to effect
descent, so as to advance upon Sebas-
topol by land. This statement, may,
however, be merely deduction from
the circumstances previously alluded to.
The third French division left Varna on
the eth for Kuslendje and Sillistria.
From the fleets we have nothing of
importance. At the last accounts the
Baltic squadron was at Let Sund. Gen
eral paraguay d'Hilliers had had an in
terview with the King of Sweden, who
is said to have expressed to him his cor
dial sympathy with the objects of the
coalition, and his willingness to coop
crate with them if necessary. This
statement must, however, be taken cum
grano sails.
The accounts from Montenegro rep
resent Prince Daniel as assuming a
threatening attitude towards the Turks
at Assuez.

CAMPHoR PRoDUcING Insanity

CAMPHoR PRoDUcING INSANITY
The Toronto COlOnist says:
"We are informed that no less than
eight persons have been admitted into
the Lunatic asylum in state of insani,
ty, occasioned by consuming quantities
of camphor to prevent cholera. Some
of them carried it abou: in their pockets,
and kept from time to time eating small
quantities Of it. Others took it dis
solved in brandy. In all cases where
it was taken in any quantity it produced
insanity. 1t is fact we'll known, that
a comparative small quantity of cam
phor will set dog mad, and that he
will soon afterwards die"

Jeffards was going to leave the city in

moored the Cyans where he could sweep
the Potomac bridge with his guns. The
men were at their quarters at 8 o'clock
with lighted matches, impatient to
avenge the atrocious insult to our Chief
Magistrate, A suspicion of the Com
mander's purpose induced the stage pro-
prietors, very improperly, as is consid-
cred here, to send the coach and nine
passengers around by Greytown. 9th
erwise Hollins would unquestionably
have blown the whole concern into the
Potomac. There is great excitement

STATE FAIR GRoUKDs.-The people
of Newark are making active prepara-
tons to accommodate the great crowd
that is expected at the State Fair on the
18th of September. The roads to the
grounds are being put in the most per-
feet repair. All the buildings upon the
ground are in such state of forward
ness, as to leaYe no doubt that every
thing will be in readiness at the time re-
quired. Owing to break in the Canal.
the workmen have been disappointed in
procuring the necessary amount of lum-
Der, but other arrangements have been
made that viii supply the deficiency
1t will require 10000 feet of lumber
to erect the buildings, stalls, &c. 50,-
600 feet was used in putting up the out
side fences. The stone for walling up
the sixteen Wells are upon the ground,
and the diggers are already employed.
Mr.. Sprague, the active Secretary Of
the State Board, is devoting all his
energies towards the completion of the
work. There is probably not such an
other spot in the State as this, to hold a
State Fair. The grounds appear to
have been laid off originally on purpose
for such an exhibition. Seats are to be
provided along the circular en,bankment
for the ladies exclusively, which will
give them fair view of all that is going
on within, and they will be protected
from the rays of the sun. by the beau
tiful shade trees above them. Let all
attend who can. Assuredly, they will
have good time.-State Journal.

~The prevalent tendency to bald
ness, has caused much discussion. The
London Quarterly Review attributes il
to the common silk hat; which is i'm
pervious to the air, and thus keeps the
head at high temperature. In sup
port of this theory, it is mentioned that
soldiers in helmetted regiments are
oftener bald than the rest Of the army,
for the reason that their helmets are
more impermeable to the air than the
hats of other soldiers, the principle
being the same as in the case of the silk
hat.
