A DREADFuL SPRCTAcLE.-It will be
remembered that The Russian line of bat
tie ship Lefor, lately capsized at MONDAY
in the bay Of Finland carrying down 1900
persons, of whom nearly four hundred
we're females. diver lately descended
10 the wreck, and referring to this wri-
ter in the London Times iron 81. Peters
burg, says:
Such persons as were on deck at the
time were Of course. at once washed "a
wav, but the divers found no less than H.
100 corpses in the cabins, tween decks,
and in the hold of the vessel, all clinging
to some portion Of the tmbers of the ship,
or to each other. The horror of this fear
full sight appears to have been aggraved by
the circumstance that The bodies were al
ready far gone in decomposition, and, with
few exceptions. the eyes were wide open
and glaring. The effect of this dreadful
spectacle on the divers was such that one
of ,hem was totally unable for many days
to recount The ghasly scenes he had wit
messed down in that hive of PURIFYING
corpses. and on his persistent refusal 10 re-
repeat his visit there, was sent home.

WANT OF LABOR IN THE WEsT.-The
ST. Louis Democrat of the l6Ih Lli., has
the following statements respecting the
want Of mechanics and laborers in Kan
sas. We have no doubt that hundreds of
our worthy mechanics, who are now so
hard pressed, might vastly improve their
pecuniary condition, as well as better the
prospects of their families i'll all other re-
spects, by seeking new homes in the
West:
We have received information from
several reliablegenllemen ust arrived from
Kansas tina, large number of mechanics
and laborers are wanted in that Territory
al the present time. In several of the
towns they have not a sufficient number
ofmechanics to do half the work which
is required. and for which they would re-
ceive from $3.50 to So per day. One
gentleman tells US that there is not sim
gle shoemaker, tailor, blacksmith, or tin
smith, in The town Of Osawat.amie, nor in
Paoli, in Lykens county. In fact there
is deficiency in all the mechanical branch
es Throughout, the Territory. Two or
three builders monopolize all the work in
town, and they are so buslly engaged in
erecting dwellings on their own account,
that they refuse 10 do so. and are unable
to attend to outside work. Laborers are
wanted all over the Territory al better
prices than can be obtained in any other
part Of the country. We are assured that
there is no exageralion in this statement,
and if we entertained the slightest doubt
Of its correctness we should not publish it
for the purpose of deceiving those to
whom such Information may be impor-
tant.
AT the present time, when so many per
sons are thrown out of employment, and
when the approaching winter may bring
with it great distress, il would be well for
those who are thus situated, TO look in
time for the means of subsistence and pro.
lection for themselves and families. Kan
sas offers the best field for the uEemploy.
ed and industrious mechanic and laborer
of the United States. The gentlemen
who communicated this information we
know to be reliable; they have lett their
names a. orr office, and may be written
10 upon the subject.

A FOOLISH FEAT.-A young girl cal
ling herself Jackson, and accompanied by
man of that name, visited this town for
the purpose of performing the great pc
desulan feat of walking one hundred con-
secutive hours without taking rest or
sleep. She commenced the task a, o.
clock on Tuesday evening the list inst,
and completed it at 10 o'clock on Satur-
day evening the 9Th, being visited by a
number Of persons at an admission fee OF
l2a cents. and receiving about $50 for
her silly performance. She is only II
wears Of age, having a very youthful APP
pearance, and less than five feet in height,
but being very stou, and compac'Iy built,
weigns one hundred and thirty-two
pounds. and possesses great physical
strength and powers of endurance. She
exhibited at different periods during her
long walk symptoms of WEAKNESS and dis
tress, and was frequently supported for
hours at time by gentlemen who prom
enaded with her. 1t is also said by sew
eral of those who remained up with her al
night. that she rested and took a snooze
occasionally, and did not actually walk
more than sevenry-6ve or eighty hours OF
the time. But even this must have been
"A terrible punishment 10 her system, over
tasking its powers and impairing its vital
ity from which il can never fully recover.
Although curiosity prompted US TO wit
ness this novel exploit 10 make moray, it
was certainly foolish as we'll as danger
Gus one, and ought not TO have been en-
couraged by discriminating public. nor
even tolerated by the proper authorities
