ENCOUNTER WITH IcE-FIELDs.-A corre-
sponGent of the New York Times gives an
interesting account Of the late trip of the
Arabia from Boston to Liverpool. 1t ap-
pears she encountered on the banks sue.
cession Of immense ice-felds; and the
writer, after describing the manner in which
she slowly cleared one after another, says:
81 walked 10 the stern and leaned over
the counter to see if the paddles were at
all injured. While l was in this position
heard an exclamation, and, raising my
head, beheld the most frightful object that
in more than fifty thousand miles sea-sail-
ing ever encountered-right abreast of US
and not hundred yards distant, yet spectral
in the fog. dead, ghastly, and unblemish-
ed white iceberg, just about as large above
the water as the City Hall in New York.
We passed it quickly and silently; many
of those on deck even did not see it, and
in few minutes afterwards the ship ran
into clear water"

OF the other boats of the John Rutledge
no tdngs have been received. Nye thinks
that those were as badly off as he was, II
not woro, and enterlsins but little hope tina,
any Of them would be picked up As be-
fore observed, only the Captains boat was
furnished with compass, and il is probs-
bic that all Of them were poorly provided
with food and water. Tho survivor believes
that with plenty Of these the majority Of the
people in his boat could have endured the
cold until they we're picked up. The Ger
mania sept a strict lookout for the other
bcats, and laid to during the night, hoping
TO GIl In with some of them. Failing TO
do so she bore away to the southwest with
tho same object. That morning heavy
snow storm came 10 end obscured the
view. A bark came out OF tho ice at the
same time as the Germania, and it is thought
TO be not impossible that she picked up some
Of the boats.
The Germania did MT escape the com
pliments OF this season. During her voy-
age she encountered severe storms, and a
great deal Of ice; and once she hove down
on her beaL ends.
The John Rutledge was owned by How
land g. Ridgewsy. She was built in 1851,
at B Baltimore, and was ,0o8 tuns burden
Insurance men say that she was a crankey
ship, upon which they did not like to in
sure. We have been unable to obtain the
name Of single passenger. Her Captain
is a Cape Cod man. The mate, Atkinson,
belongs to Philadelphia. 1t is singular
fact, that one Of the owners OF this ship
Mr.. Ridgeway, is one of the passengers on
the unfortunate steamship Pacific.

CAPTURE OF AN ANER1cAN SLAvER.-By
the Emu, at Boston from Liverpool, we
have the following: The American schooner
Mario 4. Smith had been captured by the
Brazilian brig-of.war Olnda, while attempt.
ing to land $40 negroes, which she had
brought from the coast of Africa. The
Olnda took the schooner in Bahia, where
the commander and crew Gall Americans)
were roned and locked up in the jail
When the schooner left the coast of Africa
she had on board 500 blacks but they were
so closely packed on board, totally naked
and SO badly fed during the voyage, that
1870 died and were thrown overboard; and
of those landed at Bahia, "a died a few
hours afterwards. The survivors were i'm
mediately fed and clothed, and will be taken
care of until their ultimate destination is
resolved upon. The Maria E. Smith (or
Mary Smith) was ftrmerly a packet rum.
ing between Boston and Halifax. She left
Boston for the coast of Africa some time
last autumn. Attempts wee made to de-
tain her, on suspicion of her being slave
but she ran away from the revenue cutter
after she had been seized by the U. s.
Marshal.

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.

The quarterly examinations Of the differ

day, Thursday and Friday of last week
We regret that we were Iunable to attend
but from those who were present we have
the most fluttering accounts of the progress
Of the pupils. The schools are at presen,
under the charge of Misses Carrie, Simpson
aud Edgsrion, and Mr.. Moore.
Owing to some error In the levy of Ia,
last year, the funds were found insufficient
to cofitinue the school during the spring
and summer months. The deficiency being
made known to our citizens, it wps prompt
