FATAL SHIPwRECK.-The Boston Advertiser pub
fishes the annexed account of the loss ofthe schoon
er Laura Frances and three Of her crew:
The schooner Laura Frances, Capt. II. w. Bull
lock, left Salem last Wednesday morning, 23d ult,
about o'clock, p. NJ, for Rockland. When some
forty fifty miles n f. of Cape Ann the schooner
struck by a squall, and instantly capsized.
Capt. Bullock and a Scotchman named Jacob -
on deck at the time, and two young men from
Rockland, named Edward Cobb and Albion Duncan,
were in the cabin.
Capt Bullock says he never saw the Scotchman
after the schooner capsiZed, but he succeeded in
getting the men out of the cabin, when all three
got into the boat, which they got clear from the
davits, and held to the schooner by the painter.
They lay in this manner an hour or two, when the
painter gave way, and they left at the mercy
of the waves, in the boat, without oars rudder or
anything to guide her. The boat was cap
sZed and the unfortunate crew were thrown into
the water. They succeeded in getting hold of the
boat, and got into it, although it nearly full of
water. The sea very rough, and the two young
men, Cobb and Duncan, became exhausted, and
died before morning.
Capt Bullock remained in the boat nearly 81
hours when he was rescued by schooner belong
ing to Windsor, n. s., and landed at Rockland
next day. He was nearl Y exhausted when taken
on board the schooner and has not fully recovered
yet.
The Laura Frances was good vessel of 143 tons
burthen, and but six months old. She was valued
at $4,000, and was owned by William McLOon. No

nine by eight feet, and the extreme length of the
train 4613 feet. The boiler can be heated with cold
water in thirty minutes to eighty pounds of steam.
The seats in the are arranged in cabin style,
which affords increased standing room.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says: The recent
stringency of monetary affairs has caused de-
cided decline in the price of real estate in almost
every section of City, and rents have also
in many instances, receded. Small stores and mod
erately large dwelling houses, in best localities
continue to rent readily, and bring fair prices The
number of houses for sale or to rent is larger
than for twenty years past and the number is daily
increasing.
Some six or seven families were taken from a
garret and the roof of frail shed, to which
they had been driven by the floods on the Hi
nois shore, and to which they had been confined
for four days, the 10th ult., by a steamboat

wager made by JOHN Travis, that he will

movement of muscle may he sufficient to
cause a premature discharge, aud that the
deviation of the fraction OF an inch 10 the
precise aim might terminate fatally to the
lad, the feat appears as wonderful rs it is
certainly novel. Travis formerly resided in
Saratoga The feat comes off in Louisville,
in June. The oranges are each to be 24
inches in diameter; one is placed on the top
of his head, and one on the back ofteach
hand, the arms being extended. In this po
siiion. at the distance of ten PAGES, or thirty
feet, facing the shooter, aud with no inter
vening object, Capt. John Travis proposes TO
hit the orange, and has only three sliois to
hit The three oranges. The boy who is 10

a bright and sprightly lad. He has every
confidence in the ability of Capt Travis to
hit each object, and has equally as much in
his own nerve, which cannot be surpassed.
lie is now under daily training. The boys
fee: are placed twelve inches apart. and his
hands upon his hips. The Captain shoots
through the angle made by the bonding of
the arms and between the feet. This is
done to accustom the boy TO the firing, and,
If possible, give him more confidence and
make him feel at ease. The little fellow is
native of Louisville, and his mother is al
ways present during the practising. She is
entirely satisfied that il will result in safety
to her son. This is probably the most dan.

this country.-AIbany Knickcrbocker.

Gymnastics in Swedish Schools.


Special pains are taken in the public
schools of Sweden to develope the physical
as well ms intellectual powers Of the pupils.
Inc following is given of the system which
the Swedes pursue:
Every school building has its large high
room, with earthen or matted floor, and ell
sorts of implements for developing the mus.
eies-ladders, poles, wooden horses, cross.
bars up TO the roof, jumping places, ropes
tor swinging, knotted ropes for climbing, &c.
The scholars are not allowed TO exercise on
what they wish, but there are regular train.
cd squads, and move and march, sometimes
TO music, mt the word of command.
AT large public school in Stockholm,
saw the lads in their noon lessons of gym.
nastics. Tho teacher gave the word and a
dozen sprang out toward tall pole with
cross bars, and, clamering up it, each hung
with his legs; then. at the word, all .ooeth.
er dropped their heads backwards, and hung
by the feet and ankles, then again recovered
themselves, and let themselves down. An.
other party, one after the other, squirmed
up naked mast; another pulled themselves
up hand over hand on knotted rope; 9th
ers, in succession, played leap frog over
wooden horse; then, they marched to the
beat of the drum. The smaller or weaker
boys begin With the lowest grade of exer,
CT e, and follow up according TO scientific
system, arranged for health. They all
seemed to SO into it with the greatest rel.
ish, and showed well trained muscular pow.
