Thrilling hcident.-In lecture recently
delivered by "Grace Greenwood" at Boston
on "Heroism," she referred to an incident
that took place at the burning Of a steamer
on one of the Western Lakes:
"Among the few passengers whose cour
age and presence of mind rose superior to
the perils and horrors of the night, was a
mother, who succeeded in saving her two
children by means of a floating settee.-
While they were in the water the mother
saw man swimming toward the settee, and
as he was about to grasp it, she cried =
Don't take it away from my poor little
childrenp The man made no answer, yet
the appeal struck home; for, by the light OF
the flaming vessel, she could see that his
face was convulsed by the struggle between
the mighty primal instinct of nature and
something better and holier. 1t was but
for moment. He threw up his hands with
a groan of Remuneration, flung himself over
backward and went down.

perfectly unknown in Europe. Her pictures

Further from Mexico.

New ORLEANS, Dec 18th. FIR ON accounts
received from several different sources, there
would seem to be no doubt of final nego-
tiation of treaty between McLane and the
Mexican Government. The treaty, howev-
er, has not yet reached the city, but it is ex-
pected in few days.
ltwas thought possible that there might
be failure OF the treaty, in consequence OF
the objection on the part of Tejada to the
clause contained in the treaty, which per-
mits the U. s. troops to enter exico, upon
certain contingencies.
The Church party,at the latest dates, were
in possession of Potosi. The arms, previ-
ously reported as seized on the Isthmus OF
Tehauntepec, by the Church party, belong
ed to the Liberals, having only recently been
sent there.

OLD Browns HoMEsTEAD.-several of our
New York exchanges sent speci reporters
along with Browns body to North Elba, and as
matter of course, the public have extended
accounts of what was said and done at the old
convict's funeral. One of these correspondents
says:
The homestead at North Elba is built upon
the tract of land purchased by Gerrit Smith
tor a colony of negroes, some fifteen years ago.
IL is rude frame building, two stories high,
and mas anything but pretensious appearance.
Inc iarm, in point of elevation, is said to be
the highest in the State-hence, it is not what
is called productive land. The inhabitants in
that part of the country just manage to live on
me product Of their farms, and that is all
When old Brown first settled at North Elba,
about dozen colored families followed him
ihither, and it was believed by Gerrit Smith
that f1ourishing colony would grow up. In
stead OF increasing in population OF wealth,
however, the colony has decreased in both, and
now there are not more than halt dozen me-
gro families in the place. The enterprise
proved complete failure, but Brown became
quite attached to the spot and refused to leave
IL His family have also resolved to make the
place their future home, although few can see
inc inducemsnt for spending lifetime in such
dr,ary wilderness
