A Noble Decd.

During the night of November 2Gth last. in
thick snow storm, the wind blowing heavy
gale down the lake, the water chilled and max
ing ice fast, the Canadian schooner Conductor
Captain Ilacket struck the bar outside Of
Long Point cut, the island side, beat over
and filed with water ilnmed edately, some dis
tance from the shore, the sea making a complete
breach over her, driving the crew to the rigging
for their lives. In the morning at daylight they
were discovered clingil,g to the wreck, by Mrs
Margaret Becker, a trapper's wife, the sole ill
habItant of that end OF the island, her husband
being over on the main land. She Immediately
went down abreast of the vessel on the beach,
;-,d built large fire Of logs, made some hot
tea, and prepared some food for them in case
they reached the shore, and to refresh and en-
courage their dropping spirits by showing them
succor at hand.-All that long day, with the
tempest raging around her, did that heroic wo-
man watch the suffering seaman cl:nging to the
rigging of the wreck.
Just at nightfall the captain called to the
mate, who on the other side of the rigging,
that they would all perish if they had to remain
i'll the rigging another night and that he was
going to attempt to swim ashore if he succeed
ed, the rest could follow him; if he drowned,
they could cling to the rigging and run their
chances. He Ieaped overheard and struck out
AS he reached the undertow and backwater, his
strength failed, and bcnumbed with cold, he
would certainly have drowned, had not the
woman gone to his rescue She waded in
through the surf up to her neck, erasping him
and dragging him out safely. The balance of
the then followed him by one, with
the same result this noble woman breasting the
sea, and meeting and dragging them out singy
as they came ashore; being in the main, in
strumental in saving the whole crew. Such
noble conduct deserves more than passing
notice She is woman of the most humble
position III life, but showed herself on this occa-
sion true heroine, and possessed of the hoblest
qualities of heart and soul.-Bufaio CONNER

4 LAWYER SUSPENDED FOR CALLING A Juror \
SKuNK-In the course Of trial of party
charged with violating the liquor law, in the
Municipal Court, on Wednesday, Mr. William
IT, Perrin, counsel for the defendant, used some
severe language towards the jury, and sulsc-
quentlv, after the verdict of guilty was render
ed, he singled one of them ont and called him IA
damned skunk" Yesterday, the foreman Of
the jury reported the matter to Judge IIoar.
Mr. Perrin present, and stated that in his
conversation with two of the jurors, he
had idea of prejudicng their minds, and
nothing further from his mind that
anything which he said could by any means be
construed into contempt Of Court, and he was
very sorry that his language should be
strued either by the Court or jury. The juror
to whom he had spoken few words concerning
liquor cases, he had been intimately connected
with in political matters, and knew him to be .
strict temperance man, and he therefore thought
the idea Of attempting to influence that gentle
man in his favor in the trial of liquor eases was
far fetched. MIR c. J. i. Mouton, the foreman
Of the jury, stated that the jury felt that their
rights had been grossly outraged in this matter,
but as MIR Perrin had disclaimed any such nten-
ton, he, well lis his fellow jurors, felt dis
posed to recommend him to the consideration
of the Court. Judge Hoar remarked that the
matter was one of most grave Importance, and
upon consultation with the other judge
primanded Mr. Perrin and suspended him from
the privileges Of the Court until the first of June

Navy Department.

The Secretary Of the Navy, being somewhat
de!ilitated by lis recent very violent attack Of
sickness, has, we understand, found it necessary
to be relieved from his arduous duties for a
short time, and, with view to relaxation,
left Washington on the 18th inst, for North
Carolina by way of Norfolk at which place he
spent a day visit to the navy-yard, where
two Of our new steam frigates are being built,
and other work of much public Importance is
going on
Notwithstanding his illness, he has not been idle.
Since the adjournment of Congress he has pre-
pared and issued the several regulations neces-
sary for carrying out the provisions of the bill
for the more efficient discipline OF the navy
such as the forms and manner OF conducting
summary courts martial, and the rules for the
granting the honorable discharges referred
to in the bill. He has also arranged and put
into operation system for apprenticing boys
to the navy, and has established the rules for
carving it out We have been credibly Inform
ed that the Secretary has determined upon the
lst of June next the time for the meeting of
the board of officers authorized by the act to
promote the efficiency of the navy, though the
orders to the officers who are to compose the
board will not issue until the Goth of May, (by
which time he will have returned to his post,)
as at that time it will be more convenient to
the department to avail itself Of the services of
some who now engaged on their dnty.
Secretary Doblns discharge of the imror-
tant public duties confded to him has been
marked with energy decision, enlightened wis
DOM and indefatgabity of purpose which
permitted no rest. But the well-mertcd en-
comiums which have been bestowed upon him
by the press of the whole country, without dis
tincton oe party, have been purchased at the
expense of necessary repose, and ultimately of
! health itself" In common with his numerous
friends, indulge in the hope that his pro-
posed partial relaxation from the duties and
responsibilities of official business may prove Of
permanent advantage, and that he will return
to Washington in the full enjoyment Of his
wontcd vigorous health.
