The INCREASE OF OCEAN STEAMERS The
increase OF ocean steamers NAV be regarded as
one OF the most remarkable features Of the age
But few years have gone bY since the first ex-
pertinent was made, and now the sc tx raordina v
agents Of commerce and travel may be counted BY
hundreds According to a list now before us
there are no less than fourteen steam lines be-
tween Europe and America. which make five
hundred and eightysix trips per annum. The
steamer Clyde, running between Quebec and
Glasgow aud several irregular or transient steam
ers are not included in this list The aggregate
Is quite sufficient to allow a calculation of ur-
ward OF five steamship departures per weekffOm
america to Europe and an equal number from
Europe to America. Soon, no doubt, we shall
have dIily line from each side of the Atlantic
the larger part Of which will arrive at and depart
ON New York. Tie Germ; n steamers are co H.
monty doing good passenger business, and a
heavy freight is carried by the Havre and some
OF the Liverpool liners but it is evident that the
amount Of business is quite inadequate to the
maintenance Of so large and expensive a steam
feet, in addition to the sailing fleet, with which
they are in direct competition. The Journal of
Commerce, from which we CLEAN the above facts,
very justly remarks: Chow this strife for the
mastery Of the ocean will eventuate is left for the

mother. The revengefnl father, finding no other
excuse by which he could take hold of the alb
ductor Of his daughter took the hint of the one
petticoat, prosecuted him for stealing, had him
tfied and sent to the State prison for three years
So be CAREFUL young men, how you allow your
runaway wives to be bedzened in any finery Of
doubtful ownership, lest YOU find that the sheriff
has quite as strong a claim upon you as Hvmen
But here is the incident taken from the Missis-

A young scamp here has Just been making an
extensive and very dishonest haul of dry goods
As the young chap has sustained good reputa-

that he will repent of the act, and advise that no
proceedings be had against him. He went into a
house in a retired place in the country, some six
miles below this, and stole parcel Of clothes
