INCIDENT OF THE WRECK OF THE SEBAs-
following singular incident Of
the wreck of the Sebastopol is given by the
Milwaukee News:
While the passengers, some or all of them,
were on board, several horses were thrown
overheard to work out their own safety
Among them was beautiful mare, with sad
die and bride on, which attracted particular
attention, and the marked sympathy of those
not yet free from the peril of the Sebastopol
The people, themselves in iminent danger,
were deeply affected to witness the life ordeal
Of this poor beast. Their sympathy was not
misplaced. The animal made towards the
shore, and although terrified by the break
ing Of the surf won her way to life and safe
ty, by ascending a steep bank. When she
had landed, man mounted into the saddle,
and she bore him to this city.
A gentleman coming from Chicago on
Thursday afternoon, read in the newspaper of
a "horse all saddled and bridled," that had
brayely and VIGOROUSLY bufeted the waves
and the storm, and he hoped and believed
that it was bis own favorite steed. He came
to this city, and those who love the horse
can imagine his joy, when he learned that he
was not mistaken, and that she had gone on
her way rejoicing to Madison, to await the
arrival of her master.
| Robert Etheridge, Esq, formerly merchant
of Mohawk, N. Y, iswe under:tand, the own
er of this noble animal, (for she is described
to us as one of the most attractive, feet and
sensible of her species,) and it gives us un-
faigned pleasure to hear that both "horse and
rider' are about to become residents of our
State and its unrivalled Capital.
THE BUFFALO BABY SHow.-1t appears
that this collection Of onimalculas was emil
nently successful, bringing shower of dimes
into the pockets Of vendors of Victoria pins,
baby jumpers, Godfreys cordial, patent dia-
pers, catnip wind expellers, and doubled dis
titled blackberry syrup, until just before the
prizes were to be awarded, when Mr. Cor
don the flnancier of the show, pocketed the
entire receipts, and disappeared on ''back
door trot." Then disconsolate mothers join
ed in the universal cry and, as the Buffalo
Republic classically announces, they "revers-
ed their babies and spanked them in their
dispair-twins were furiously knocked about
and had their ears vindictively pulled and
their hair unsettled-meek mothers andnur-
ses became furious in their complaints, and
viragoish in their desire for full, complete and
immediate vengeance"
A WIEDFALL.-TheB Boston Transcript is
informed that young lady, one Of tie as
sistant teachers in the Webster Grammar
School in Cambridge, has received Informal
ton from the proper authorities in Para, Bra
iii, of the death at that place of Mr.. S., who
had left property to her, by will, to the
amount Of $4,000. This bequest, so unex-
pected comes from disappointed sutton Of
the lady, who, in dispair at his rejection some
eight years ago, wandered away to South
America and made a fortune there. The lady
referred to is of estimable character, who has
many qualities of head and heart that endear
her to large circle Of friends who will re-
joice at her good fortune.

"the two most infamous men in the United
States live in Tennessee, one of whom has

visit recently to one Of his patients in the
upper end of town, and on entering the room
Of the sick man, the following dialogue took

feller lying there; got him to take that
pill you left me, and it killed him in an
, hour"
The pester m;zzled.
