CALMNEss INTREPIDITY OF CAPTAIN LUCE OF
THE ARC TIC. From all accounts, Capt. LUCE COM
ported himself, under the terrible circumstances,
with camness and intrepdity which deserved a
better fate. No thought of self for moment inter
yened to wean away his from his passengers.
Alas how rutess all those cares and exertions.
Three or four hours were spent in constructing a
raft, and yet this the means of preserving but
single life. Had his officers and men stood by him
the last the result ght have been deplora-
BILE. But they did not Yielding to the naturasm-
pulse of self preservation they ignored their duty
their commander, and thinking only Of their
safety, they took the boats abandoning the vessel
and the hundreds of helpless beings who thronged
her deck
1t is hard, says the New York Herald to find fault
with men for yielding to that strongest impulse of
humanity; and yet when their conduct is contrasted
with the sef-sacr6cing nobility of soul which char
acterzcd the recent wreck of British troop ship
the coast of Africa-when every woman and child
board passed into the boats and saved, the men
remaining to meet their death with unquailing firm
neSs-we say, when that heroic incident is remem-
bcrcd and contrasted with the spirit of selfshness
which prevailed among the of the Arctic,
will be apt to denouncc the latter as unworthy and
dishonorabe. Officers engineers, firemen, sailors
and walters, had monopoly of safety while the
gallant captain alone refused 10 desert his post and
remained to share the fate of his vessel and of the
hundreds ofnoble hearts, whose last throb beat upon
her submerged deck.
Mr.. Dorian the only one of the officers and
sailing hands ofthe ship that remained with the cap
tain up to the last fearful moment. The others had
left the ship long before He was engaged up to
that time in constructing the raft actively assisted
by many of the passengers. Mr.. Dorian himself
had no idea of self preservation when he stepped
into the boat and had the painter cut loose. twas
necessary act in discharge of his duty, and save
the lives fothers. But his own life was saved by it.
While he was still within twenty yards of
the vessel, she disappeared from his sight sinking
by the stern, at angle about twenty-five degrees
Not single soul of the hundreds then on board,
was seen alive by him after the vessel sunk Still
it is not impossible he says, that some one or more
may have saved themselves, by clinging to water
barrels, spars, and other floating substances that
were lashed together in expectancy of that terrible
m omcnt.

TRIUMPH OF LEARNING. Mind constitutes the ma
jesty of man-virtue his true nobility. The tide of
Improvement which is now floating though the land
like another Niagara destined to roll down to the
latest posterity And it will bear then it's BOSOM
our virtues or vices our glory shame, what
else may transmit as an inheritance 1t then,
in great measure, depends upon the present,
whether the moth of immortality, ignorance, and
luxury, shall support her against the whirlwind of
war; ambition, corruption and the remorseless tooth
of time. Give your children fortune without cduca
ton and at least one half the number will go down
to the tomb of oblivion perhaps to ruin. Give them
education and they will be fortune to themselves
and country It's inheritance worth more than
gold for buyes true honor, they can never spend
nor lose it, and through life it proves friend, in
death consolation.

The following, by Sesse Gorsuch, in the Farm
Journal is worthy of attention at the precnt time
Much corn planted last spring failed to grcminate
in consequence Of the careless manner in which the
seed had been prepared, and, lest similar late sea
son should again prevent second planting we
would recommend more in the matter: SEED
CORN There are but few farmers who fairly take
into consideration the extent to which their crops
are affected by the quality of the seed Like begets
like, as we SOW so we reap" are old aphorisms,
partaking of both sound and practical philosophy
If we SOW imperfect seed we may reasonably expect
to reap imperfection, though with a decrease in
quality in just ratio from present organic defects
whilst if we sow good seed we may expect to reap
the same with an increase in quality in the same
ratio the deterioration of the former
In order to secure good seed corn and improve
the quality, quantity and time of ripening try the
following: When your corn is ripening go through
the field and pluck from the stalks such ears sa are
the earliest being already ripe, having in view those
bearing the largest and most ears to the talk Hnv-
ing furnished yourself with sufficient quantity for
Seed place it in some dry situation that the cob may
become perfectly dry, that will keep from feez-
ing in the winter, which of certainty if allowed to
do, will destroy its power Of terminating. In this
situation it may be allowed to remain until planting
time, when, on removing the husk it will be found
in the most perfect state of preservation and seldom
if ever fail in the germ.
l have the experience of practical farmer who
has followed similar system with regard to the Sc
lection of his seed for number of years. He aiirms
that, besides vast improvement in the quality, he
finds it as difficult to select stalks in his field
bearing less than two three ears, it was at first
to find them bearing more than one

From the Mansfield (Ohio) Shield and Banner
Singular Fight Between Two Deers.


The latest breach Of the peace occurred in Ply.
mouth township, in this county, last Tuesday.
Miss Harriet Brown, daughter of James Brown,
Esq, had went in the evening before TO visit
ncighbor, Mr.. VIM. Castor and the next morning,
as she was returning home alone, pet deer, three
years DID, belonging to Mr.. Castor, leaped over
the high fence enclosing his territory, and pursued
her. He overlook her about midway between
Mr. Castor's and her fathers house, and at once
attacked her. He struck her on the side with suf-
fcient force to cut with his horn through all her
outer and under clothing, and drew blood.
As Miss Brown fell, she courageously took the
deer by the horns and clung TO him, sometimes be-
ing dragged the ground, and at others regaining
her feet-the animal all the time striking and cut
ting her with his feet. The deer, finding himself
foled by the courage of the brave girl, attempted
another mode of attack, and endeavored 10 push
her up against trees, and thus shake her from
her hold on his horns. But IL was no go--she held
on; but In the course of the struggle the deer
dragged Miss Brown near TO a fence at point
where there was large stack Of straw placed
against il on the other side; the poor girl, being
unable to make herself heard In her cries for help,
and finding herself much weakened from efforts
and loss Of blood east about her for some source
ofescapc, and looked upon the straw stack as the
only safe retreat--and msnmuvreing so as to get
the deer close TO the fence let 60 his horns with
her right hand and tried the gouge game'-put-
ting her thumb into bis eye, gave II a hard push
this so hurt and frightened the beast that quick
lightning he bounded back some fifteen feet from
her, and before he had recovered from bis fright
sufficiently to renew the attack, his fair antago-
mist had gained the top Of the fence, and from
thence the top ofthe stack completely foiling her
adversary From her high position she succeeded
in attrsctingthe attention Of neighbor, who came
10 her relief H
The fight lasted near an hour, and at its close
Miss Browns clothes were nearly all torn on her,
and she was cut In almost every part OF her body
by the hoofs Of the animal
We think this lady has courage and address
enough TO take any circumstance Of life by the
horns,n and could share in the adventures Of q
. rro.olntt (.
