Terrible Scene at a Ship Wreck.

The Liverpool papers furnish full accounts of
the wreck of the ship Tayleur, on the Irish coast,
at the Island of Lamby, the 21st of January,
having six hundred and twenty souls on board,
of whom near four hundred were lost. One of
the passengers saved thus describes the scene.
"A raft was constructed, on which great num-
bers of persons embarked but it was drifted
against the rocks and upset when all on it per-
ished. a rope was then conveyed shore by
one of the swimmers, and about one hundred at
tempted to gain the rocks by clinging to it, when
the vessel suddenly fell over on her side, which
slackened one end of the rope, and caused the en-
tire of them to let go their hold. The whole of
them were drowned. The captain, whose name
was Noble, was saved, but the only part of his
dress that he landed in was flannel shirt. The
surgeon of the ship who had his wife and child
on board, attempted to swim On shore with his
child on his back, and supporting his lady with
one arm, while he swan with the other; the
three, however, unfortunately perished. One
lady had $4,000 in bank notes sewed in her
stays; she offered 1900 to any one who would
save her life, but in vain. She also was drowned.
A child of five months old is saved and both pa
rents are drowned. A German emigrant saved
his child's life by bearing it in his teeth from the
wreck to the shore. Only seven women are sa-
we'd, the rest, 1877 in number, are drowned
There are now upwards of sixty dead bodies on
the island, and 200 survivors,"

An Excentrio Preacher.

Murray's "Hand book of South Italy" contains
some curious stories respecting Era Rocco, the
celebrated Dominican preacher and the spiritual
Joe Miller of Naples. On one occasion, it is re-
lated, he preached on the mole a penetential SER
mon, and introduced so many illustrations ofte
ror that he soon brought his hearers to their
knees. While they were thus showing every
sign of contrition, he cried out, "Now all you
who sincerely repent of your sins, hold up your
hands" Every man in the vast multitude i'm
mediately stretched out his hands. ''Holy Ar
changel Michael" exclaimed Rocco, "thou whe
with thine adamantine sword standest at the
right of judgment seat of God, hew me off every
hand which has been raised hypocritically.'
In an instant every hand dropped, and Rocco,
of course, poured forth fresh torrent of elo-
queht invective against their deceit. He had a
great dislike to tobacco, and when once preach
ing 70 a crowd of Spanish sailors, he astonished
them by saying that there were no spanish saints
in heaven. A few, he said, had been admitted
but they smoked so many cigars that they make
the holy virgins sick and st. Peter set his wits
to work to get them out. At length he proclaim
ed that bull fight was to be held outside the
gates of Paradise. Thereupon every Spanish
saint, without exception, ran to see the fight,
and ST. Peter Immediately closed the gates, and
took care never to admit another Spaniard.

ANOTHER DARING RoBBERRY.-We learn from
the Huntington Journal of the 22d inst, that
the jewelry store of AIr. Edmund Snare of that
place was broken open on Sunday night and rob-
bed of about $3.50 in money-a number of gold
and silver watches, and other valuable articles
amounting to $1,000. We are somewhat puzzled
at the various successes of those daring villains
who lurk around Huntingdon and Holidays sburg,
watching for favorable moment to alight upon
their unsuspecting and uncontious prey. But a
few weeks since similar daring and successful
robbery and burglary was effected in Holidays
burg, to the astonishment of every body, and
before the excitement has subsided we are in
formed of still another. 1t is our candid opinion
that an organized band Of williams is secreted in
some Of the adjoining counties, and we HOPED our
citizens will be on their guard and if any law
less vagabonds should make any attempts upon
their property they will be welcomed with hospi-
tai hands to place of safety.

We find the following in the Council Bluffs Bu-
gle, Of the 3lst ult.
"a treaty with the Ohamas has been effected.
The country north of the great Platte to be OPEN
ed next spring. We have intelligence from the
Treaty Ground up to last evening. The Treaty
is closed with the Omahas, whereby our Govern
ment purchases a tract of country estimated at
six and half million Of acres at ten cents per
acre. The tribes are to receive yearly annuity
of the interests which amounts to $4,000 a
year. The tribe is to receive protection from the
Sioux and settle upon strip nf land north ofthe
mouth of the Big Sioux. They are to eVacuate
their lands in time for emigrants to get in crops
in the spring provided protection is afforded
Major Gatewood has not been as successful in
treating with the Otoes however, they are ready
to agree to all the stpulations except that OF re-
moving north. They wish to go south we
think, however, the Major will be able to over
come these objections and proceed to treat with
the other tribes. and in short time 60 on with
his Chiefs to ratify the stipulations. A military
post is to be established at the mouth of the
Little Sioux further particulars next issue
There was no Indian fight as heretofore reported.

hopes q few days will regulate affairs again

Railroad Accident.
LANCASTER Fe'

LANCASTER, Feb. p.
The train which left Lancaster last evening,
when four miles East of Lancaster could get no
farther, account of the immense drifts of snow.
An endeavor was made to force the train through,
when it was moved slowly back towards Lancas-
ter The train due at Lancaster from the West
had arrived, and started at schedule time it ran
cautiously, but not, however, sufficiently so as
to prevent a collision with the train backing up.
The down train running at the rate of twelve or
fifteen miles per hour, and the train hacking up
at the rate of from two to four miles per hour,
the shock was SO great as to smash the car com
ing in contact with the train East, pitching the
passengers from their seats and upsetting the
stove, which set fire to and consumed the car
The engine ran half way through the car. Some
eight cars and five or six engines have been disa-
bled by the violence of the collision. One pas
senger named Hudson, of Philadelphia had both
legs broken one near the hip and the other at the
ankle; Mr.. William Larks had the toes of one
foot cut off, and another man had an arm bro
ken.

Minnie Rife.

a Paris correspondent of the New York Tri-
b'0e gives an account of rifle used by the
Turks, in picking off the officers of the Russian
army at Oltenitza. 1t is designated as the Min
ME rifle, receiving its name from the maker, Ma
jor Minnie. 1t is contracted with back sight
sealed to distances, and carries with extraordna-
ry accuracy. To show the power of the gun the
writer gives the result of target the size of a
mans hat, of-hand and in succession. He pro-
fessed the ability to do it all day, and to teach
any man of ordinary abilities to do the same. If
this is so, it beats Yankee riAedom. Only think
of popping off officer at three-quarters of
mile.
