BACK AGA1N.-Mary Williams, the
Irish woman, who, with her child born
IN this country, was sent to Ireland by
the Boston authorities, because she was too
poor to support herself in the United
States, has returned again to Boston. The
owner of the vessel in which she was sent
refused to allow his vessel to be used as a
prison ship, and gave the woman free
passage back again to America. He also
issued orders that every passenger on board
his ship should henceforth be questioned,
and if found unwilling to return to the
old world should Immediately be landed.
Mary seems to have had good time of it.

y looks as though shortly ssfie dead would be

tine, (which will probably keep the disease out.
iii hardly presumable that infected vessels
will come here this fall; but next Spring they
will be here in clouds, ,and it must be expected
that the hospitals on Staten Island will be
full OF yellow fever patients. Tho last time
this was the case, in lS47, one hundred resi-
dents of the island died Of the disease and
the whole E"stern shore from Clifton to
Quarantine was depopulated. Rich men
left their country houses, poor men their
homes. The boats ceased to run to the city
and Staten Island was for the moment des-
ert stunned by every one as the abode Of
death alone. Such it will be again appa-
rently, next spring. That it will be such, is
due to the negligence of those who were en-
trusted with the business of providing new
site for the quarantine station. Every one
who has examined the subject is convinced
that Coney Island or Sandy Hook are far
more suitable for the purpose than the pres.
ent site; but the mere uis inertia and
spirit Of opposition has prevented the pur-
chase of either; and matters now remain in
such a position that the island runs great
risk Of being depopulated again next sum-
mer, unless indeed some of the lawless spir-
its, who object to the quarantine should full
hl their long and loudly expressed threats
with regard to the Hospital. tf-i

BucKwAEAr.-In the memory Of man the
State of Pennsylvania, (says the Philadel-
phia Ledger) has never seen so vast crop Of
Buckwheat as now whitens the fields with its
fragrant perfume. Not only the rich valleys
but the rough hill counties, appear to have
every available 81 OF whitened with this deli
cate plant. At this season when fruits take
the place of flowers, the buckwheat blossoms
add peculiar grace to the landscape. Never
did the grain give greater promise of hea-
Wy return: and if no frost occur for three
weeks the crop is safe. Though the uses of
buckwheat are few in our cities, in the coun-
try the grain is available for cattle and poul-
try, especially for mixing and thus the crop
becomes important, in releasing the full
weight of the farmers wheat and corn for
the general market. e-- -ssr.

TIL E s RIM.
BRIG TUsCARoRA WRECKED.
Eleven Men saued from the Wreck.

The storm yesterday was very severe az
this end Of the lake, rolling in heavy sea
from the Northeast. All the lumber vessels
coming down before the gale. Being Of light
draught, was fortunate enough to make the
harbor, entering close to the North Pier; but
heavily loaded vessels dare not attempt that
channel, even with the water ns high as it was
yesterday. The bark Sunshine lay we'll at
anchor all day, some distance north of the
piers; and another vessel lay off nearly op-
posite the harbor, but SO far out that she
not be identified. ~ H }lg
The brig Tuscaroras, loaded with coal
from Cleveland, came to anchor south of the
bar yesterday morning but Immediately
commenced dragging, and drifted rapidly to
leeward, until about one mile south Of the
piers, and only three or four hundred feet
from the railroad break water. Her mas.s
were then cut away, and she held on better,
although still drifting slowly. - -
AS the night was approaching, and the
prospect was that the storm would increase,
the situation of the crew became critical
If the vessel should fill and sink, or 20
against the breakwater during the night, they
must all inevitably be lost. As Soon as their
danger was reported to the Harbor Master,
Capt. j. A. Napier, he and Capt. Warner Ma
AAho ihoFeSeoA VI Sue SulCdRU Nutuhl lO1ur-
ance Company, commenced raIlying crews to
90 to the rescue with the two Government
Life Boats. No difficulty was experienced IN
collecting band of courageous and skillful
men from the vessels in the river. s4t
= The passage from the barbor to the wreck
was accomplished without much difficulty The
shore was lined with spectators to witness the
rescue, and hundreds stood upon the railroad
track. The boats were welc omed on their arri-
val at the brig by cheers from the crew, eleven
persons in all. The debarcation was aiTect ted by
the life boats rowing up cautiously 10 the side
of the vessel, and az they drifted sstern, tho,s
on board would seize a favorable moment TO
leap into them. Every time that one o the crew
leaped into life boat, a shout of iov wou,d
burst forth from the crowd on the railroad track
and be echoed by those on the shore. Captain
Mullen OF the Tuscarora, was the last man to
leave the wreck. He declared at first that he
would remain on board and share her fate, but
at last suffered himself to be persuaded to jump
INTO one Of the boats.
Now came the long pull to reach the har.
Dor. Each boat bad six oars in the row.
locks, and steering oar dashed in its plaoa.
They were steered by the two Napiers. Who
exhibited much skill in keeping them head IA
the seas, running as they did mountain. high.
The boats made good headway against tha
wind and waves and reached the harbor with .
out accident, the persons in them completelv
drenched BY the spray. As they passed up
the river thepeople On the dock testified their
admiration of the bravery Of those who man
ned them, and JOY at the success of the effort
oy enthusiastic cheers and clapping Of hands.
