DISTRESSING FIRE.-We learn from the
Sussex (Del.) News that there was a dis
tressing fire near the Delaware and Mary
land line on the 10Th ult. The house Of
Elisha Dickinson was consumed, together
with all his goods, and two children. He and
his family were in the fodder field at the time,
and when they discovered the fire it was too
late to rescue their perishing children
One was entirely consumed, and the body of
the other was recovered, but the head and
legs could not be found.

To the Afflicted.

We promised yesterday TO administer such
comfort and consolation TO the disconsolate
disappointed, and de feated candidates as we
had in our power. For the first dose, we ad-
minister the following bit of philosophy to
their careful consideration:
DON'T FRET.--The world is ups and
downs, of crossness and contradictions. Ev.
cry day turns up something to disturb the
equanimity of mans temper. But it is
worse than useless to fret. Fretting is like
a caustic applied to sore; it inaames but
never cures. A fretIu spirit is never happy,
and il drives happiness from all other spirits
with which it comes in contact We say
then, if the world goes wrong-and it does
that pretty often-don't fret. If man
cheats, and then laughs at you for yerdant
one, make the best of it, and keep cool. III
you break your leg. or find your favorite seat
in the Lyceum occupied; il the stage upsets,
or the cars leave you behind; if the cook
spoils your dinner, or the thick headed SER
want mis-delvers an important message; il
banks fail and States repudiate, keep your
temper. Repeat the alphabet, read the one
hundred and nineteenth psalm, do and saw
anything, ''lovely and Of good report" but
as you value quietness of mind, and the good
temper of others, don't fret. 1t is marve lous
how much good nature and patience will do
towards curing the ills 10 which flesh and
spirit are herr Salem Obs.

PROVIDENCE, Oct. Z

hOVlDENCE, OCt ..
A Strange Freak of an cid Naturalization
Of House on The Providence and Worcester
Railroad Track Quite an excitement was
created here to-day in consequence of a
strange freak of an old man named LYMAN
Haws. The track of the Providence and
Worcester Railroad runs through land which
formerly belonged TO him, and the price of
this land had been assessed by commission
ers at valuation which he refused to ac-
cept. To-day he placed small house, erec-
ted by himself, on both tracks. in which he
put several kegs which he said contained
powder, and then fastened himself inside by
nal'lng up every entrance to it. The Bos.
ton and Providence train, and the Providence
and worcester train were, as they came
along, brought to stand still by the oh.
struction and detained for nearly two hours
The old fellow swore that if they attempted
to run the engine through the house, he
would fire the powder and blow everything
around him to atoms. After long delay,
during which the crowd increased to over a
thousand people, the North p rovidence, and
the Providence police arrived when they fell
to work and with well directed blows soon
smashed the doors of the house in, and then
seized the old man. 1t was with difficulty
at ilrst that the crowd could be kept from in
Juring him. He was hurried away to Jail
The crowd then attacked the house and soon
made complete wreck of it. About half a
Reg OF powder only was found.

THE DIPLOMATIC CoRPs.-The Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia North
American says:
This administration has been remarkably
unfortunate in its foreign appointments.
Mr. Soule has been the source of perfect
iliad Of woes and notifications. Scion Bor-
lands career was a succession of blunders
and crimes. Mr.. Belmonte, the German
protege of Mr.. Buchanan, is complained of
for neglecting the interests of an American,
whose claim for indemnify against Holland
is the only business which this dplomatist
lad entrusted to his care. Mr.. Daniel, the
charge at Turin, has been tabooed at that
capital, for libelling its society and the
customs of the society. And now it has
transpired that DIR. Hebbe, the Consul at
AK la Chapele, has been recalled for some
occurrences of private character. The
continuance of Geo. Sanders, as Consul at
London, for six months after his rejection
by the Senate, proves ne Indifference of the
appointing power to the opinion of that body.
To revert TO Mr.. Belemonts appointment,
it is discreditable fact that the name of Mr..
Lay, of New York, had been sent to the Oh
fetal paper to be gazetted as Charge to the
Hague, when it was recalled at the demand
of Mr. Buchanan, and that Of Belmont SUBJ
stitued, on the express ground that Belmont
had expended an immense sum OF money TO
aid in carrying Pennsylvania for the Dem
ocratic party.

fRIGHTFUL DISASTER on THE DETROIT RIVER
TwENTY-TslxEE LIVES LOST!
The Steamer Il. *. Collins Destroyed
by Eireyg
THE NAMES OF THE DEAD.

New York, Oct. 9.
The steamer E. X. Collins, bound from
Sault St. Maria to Cleveland, left this city
last night between ten and eleven O'Clock,
and when little below Maiden, and nearly
opposite the Light Fl louise, the boat was dis
covered TO be on fire, and before she could
be run ashore, she was completely enveloped
in flames, and twenty-three of those aboard
were either burned to death or drowned.
The following are the names of the dead
missing:
Mrs. Dibble, New York; Samuel Powell,
Cleveland; Lawrence Whalen, do; Thorn
as Cook, the Pittsburgh Railway AGENT,
Cleveland; Mrs. bIcNeilly, wife Of waiter;
Mrs. Watrons and child, Ashtabula, Ohio;
(the body of this child was recoyered:) col
ored man from Virginia. The above were
passengers. Of the crew there were miss.
ing, Chas. Adams, barber; John McNeilly,
waiter; John Ennis, do; J. Trinkner, do;
John Halsted, head waiter.
Mr.. Lyman, bar-keeper; Mrs. +. Lewis,
cabin maid; Samuel Brown, firemen; A. All
wick, deck hand; Thos. Anderson, J. A.
German, and James Gamett; cooks; Nat.
Robbins, (colored,) cook, and one OF the ps-
tolls. The fire broke out on the boiler deck,
anu spredu SO Tapluly, that the passengers
and crew who were mostly in bed had to es.
cape in their night clothes; when the fire
was first discovered the boat headed for the
shore, but before she reached shallow water.
the flames had so extended that she became
unmanageable, and the stem Sowing round
into the river, and all these on board having
been driven TO that part of the boat, they
had either to jump into the water, or perish
in the flames; the current at that point Of
the disaster, set very strongly into the lake,
and had il not been for the timely arrival of
the propeller finerey, nearly all on board
would have persisted.
The captain of the Finerey, seeing the
light, fastened to the wreck and had his
boats all ready to let go when he reached it,
and nearly all those saved were picked up by
them, only few being able to swim ashore,
owing TO the current. Some of the saved
were nearly exhausted, and everything was
done that could be TO relieve them by the
crew OF the Finerey, who acted nobly. Some
wretch, in the confusion, stole eighty dollars
from poor sick man. A purse of $40 was
made up for him.

o. The German cure for jaundice is said
to be the sudden stir of the bile by an arous-
al of Indignation. Willis, in one of his let
tiers from Idlewild, mentions the case of his
brother, who called in a physician when

in his prescription. Meanwhile an old wo-
man entered, who accused my brother of
stealing, spat in his face, and ran out of the
room! This was the medicine-immediately
effectual-for with the vigorous start of the
bile commenced rapid recovery"

The Arctic Expedition.

The London Times says, speaking Of the
Arctic Expedition, "Ten years will soon have
been accomplished since poor Franklin and
his companions quilted our shores. The
last we knew uf the n is, that they passed tn e
winter of 1856 in small cove between
Cape Riley and Beechy island, facing Lam
caster sound. Here it was that Capt ON
manney found the three graves, and in iAe
neighborhood, of Wellington channel, traces
OF travelling party, which seemed to have
been despatched from the main expedition,
were subsequently discovered Beyond this,
~ The shape OF positive evidence as 10 the
fate OF the wanderers, there is nothing. The
apprehension once felt for Franklin IS now
experienced for one of those who went in
search of him. Capt. Colinson, in 1850.
entered The ice by way Of Behring's straits,
IN command of the Enterprise. On the 18th
OF August, 1851. he reached Wainwright in
let, but was soon after turned back by the
ice. The latest intelligence received in
England with regard to this vessel must be
dated as far back 1852. IL was mention
ed IN the Panama Herald Of December 25th,
OF that year, that the Enterprise had been
seen no long time before by American whal.
ers. There is as yet no reason for gloom or
despair with regard to the fate of Capt. Col
!lnson and his ships company, but consider
able ground for anxiety. We have had news
OF the ship within two years or thereabouts.
Capt. Mcclure also went in the same d.
rection as Capt. Colinson in the Enterprise.
Through the midst of difficulties not unpre-
cedented IN the annals of Arctic navigation,
but still ola most appalling character, made
his way round IN northerly and westerly
direction to point not very far distant from

etrated nearly quarter of a century ago
vi him satisfactory tidings have been receiv-
ed, and there is good ground for hope that
the safety of the crew and commander, if
not of the ship has been secured.
On the 18th of August, Sir Edward Belch-
er went up Wellington channel in the direc-
ton OF northern sea, should such exist
The season was what is called an open one,
and in the absence of late intelligence, we
can only trust that that enterprising navi-
gator has not been drawn on to point from
which he may find it difficult, il not impos-
sible, 10 recede. The sufferings and posi-
bic fate of these brave men will often be
subject of thought and sympathy with the
kindly natured, as they sit at ease by COM

Election Returns.

The Wings have ever been accused by
Democrats of "crowing before they were out
of the woods" over the first election returns
received. We are not going to do that, but
we must be pesmitted TO say 10 our readers,
that the official returns, SO far as received
from the different precincts in the district,
show decided gains for the peoples ticket.
Hall, the peoples candidate for Congress,
gains on his opponent, SO far as heard from,
at rate that will easily overcome the Tor
mer Democratic majority in the district
The stroDg.holds of Democracy have, in
most cases, fallen off beyond the most SAN
guine expectations of Halls friends, as will
be seen elsewhere in our columns. But we
shall proceed cautiously in our estimates, and
give our readers nothing but the figures. and
also give the Douglastes no room to crow
over the illusions Of the "frst Wing re-
turns"
LATER.-Since writing the above, the re-
turns from Posey and Wanick have been
received, sufficiently to show that Miller has
carried both counties by reduced Democratic
majorities. The official vote of those coun-
ties will doubtless show a decided falling off
from his (Miller's) former vote, but to what
effect upon the general result, remains to be
determined.
LATER.-Whatever may be the result in
the First Congressional District, we are
satisfied that the peoples State ticket is
elected entire. Also the following
anti-Nebraska and Wing candidates are
elecled to Congress-:
