KILLED BY LYNx.-We learn that an Indian
woman was killed in broad daylight by an ami
NAL known as the lynx, within three or four
miles of Tuscola county, some time last week.
She had gone out from camp some distance to
bring in some venison which an Indian had
dressed and hung up. when returning with the
meat on her shoulder the ferocious beast sprang
on her back. and though she threw the venison
as far from her as she could, in order to divert
the attention of the lynx, it did not leave her
until it had destroyed her life. [Saginaw En-

INCONSISTENT. - The peeuaiary obligation
incurred by Mr. Borland in protecting himself
and others from the consequences Of their con-
duct at GreytoWn, we regret to learn, has been
promptly repudiated by our Government. This
strikes us as very strange. Mr.. Borland had no
right, in our opinion, to raise troop of fifty
men, but the Administration, having endorsed
the most objectionable of his proceedings, can
scarcely be justified in disayoWing the least
censurable
Our Government is responsible for the acts Of
its representatives, however ridiculous and alb
surd and to our mind it appears to be right and
proper that it should pay this money. The
Government seems to be more careful of its

lOGn. IHeTe Is puI ubtle news OF import
ance, but the following letter to the Express
will be found interesting:
BuENos AYREs, June TO-
Fearful Catastrophe.-The Spanish vessel
Victoria, Capt. Silyestre Pinilla, of 500 tons
register, built at Manila, sailed from this port
on the oath of March last, bound to Southamp-
ton, with cargo Of animal guano and bones,
On the following day, and when still near the
light ship, she came in contact with the Ameri-
| can bark Lion, carrying away her bowsprit and
| receiving considerable damage in her bows and
| upper works. She Immediately bore up for
Montevideo, and remained there undergoing re-
pairs till the Oath Of April, when she resumed
her voyage
1t is presumed that this Inflated vessel must
have received more damage in the collision than
was at first supposed, and consequently made
water, damaging the cargo, and eventually pro-
ducing the ignition and eonhagraton of which
she, and it is to be feared, the captain and part
of the crew, were doomed to be the victims
From an account published in the National,
of this city, We condense the following details:
A few days after leaving Montevideo, smoke
issuing from the hold announced the presence of
fire on board. Water was poured down in large
quantities, in the hopes of extinguishing it, but
their efforts in that direction proving fruitless,
the matches were Theoretically sealed down, and
having disposed the boats and constructed a
4 raft, in view of probable emergency, they
steered toward land.
After three days Of forlorn navigation, during
tempestuous weather, the symptoms of proxim-
ate explosion became fearfully apparent The
dreaded moment at last arrived, and dreadful
crash announced that the flame enveloped Vic
toria could no longer afford shelter or protection
to her agonized inmates.
The boats and raft we're now launched; but
part of the rigging falling, in consequence OF
the explosion, one of the masts unfortunately
struck the long boat and in part disabled it, Sc
yerely injuring the captain at the same time
The captain, the mate, and fourteen Of the
crew, reached the raft, to which was attached
d boat with some necessaries; and the remain
der took possession of the disabled boat, making
the hurried and temporary repairs the circum.
stances permitted After spending three nights
and two days of boisterous weather in the fra.
gle craft, the inmates of the launch were pro.
videntially rescued by the Sandman polaca,
Profeta Elias, Capt Semeria, bound for Monte
video, who afforded them every assistance and
landed them safely in st. Catharines, at which
time nothing WAS known of the fate of the cap
tain and his companions on the raft.

Quite an interesting scene occurred at the
dock of the Michigan Southern Railroad a few
evenings since. gentleman who had paid his
fare to Toledo on board the steamer Northern
Indiana was leaving the boat for the shore,
with his porte monnaie in his hand, While on
the plank, by some means, he dropped it into
the Lake Thinking no doubt, he should not
see it again, he offered to any one who would
recover it one-half its contents. On hearing
this, four persons belonging to the boat attempted
its recovery After diving four or five times,
three of them gave it up as bad job; but the
fourth--the barber-not willing to give it up so,
dove seven times without success. Thinking
there was no luck in odd numbers, and anxious
for the prize, he determined to try once more
made the eighth dive. and after remaining under
50 long that the bystanders feared he had lest
himself, his hand appeared above water with the
prize, which was hailed with loud and long
cheers from the crowd. The gentleman, true tt
his word, counted out to the lucky barber one,
half Of the money, which amounted to between
four and five hundred dollars. buffalo Re-
