FRIEND REED;--A fishing boat, CThe Clip
peri manned by Chouncy Rogers, Chas. Graves,
and Edward Craw ford, while attempting TO set
a "gang of nets" off this place last Friday, the
10Th, at about A o'clock p NJ, became envelop
cd in thick fog, and being without canvass,
probably lost their way. When last seen, they
were about "a miles out, still rowing from the
shore At that time there was scarcely breath
Of air stirring, but at about 81 o'clock there
sprang mp light breeze from the N. f., which
rreshened until Z o'clock, when it hauled around
into the South West, where it held all night
and the next day increasing to furious gale, ac-
companied by sleet 1t is hoped that they
reached the Canada shore before l2 o'clock That
night, as Rogers aud Graves were without
coats, and must certainly have perished were
they ont after it commenced showing. Fires
were kndled on the shore, and watch kept all
night in hopes that they might drift near enough
to see their beacon aGd call for help 1t is fear
ed that they drifted upon the "Iron Bound" coast
below here, and were dashed to pieces. They
were all young men of uuexceptionable charac-
ter and each the son of widowed mother
The mother Of Graves was almost entirely de-
pendent upon him for support 1t Is TO be hop
ed that they are safe, but it is hope against
probability. Yours, j.

There seems to be no doubt that the death of
Mike W aIsh in New Y York was accidental. He
left hotel at o'clock in the morning on Thurs
day, drunk, and appears to have fallen down an
area, where he was found dead. The absence ot
a gold watch and diamond ring from his per-
son led at first to suspicious that be was mar
dered, but the probability is that they were
stolen from the body after the accident. Walsh

York have obtained notoriety and Office by

and rutiianism and of whom Sicklcs and Ryn.

APPROPRIATIONS BY CosaREss If the ex-
penses of the government for the year from Ju.
ly /, 1859, to July l, 1860, eau be brought
within the limits of the appropriations just
made by Congress, we shall certainly have an
economical administration Of the government
for one year of Mr.. BuchanaDs reign. The
whole amount Of the appropriations is but s4l,-
l25S03, oi which ten millions and q haif is lor
the navy, and fifteen and quarter millions foI
the army, leaving but about fifteen millions for
all other departments Of the government
There are also indefinite appropriations which
will probably amount to about million and a
half. The defeated post Office appropriations,
which of course will have to be supplied were
for the year in question about ten millions dol
lars This will make the total appropriations
for years administration about 6ity-three mil.

and disdains to seek it by war directly. Arc
we to understand him and majority of the
Committee here, that they ask us to bring
Spain Indirectly into a war in order that We
may conquer Cuba. That would be to i'm
pute to the President and the Committee bad
faith which 1 must utterly disclaim.
These considerations satisfy my mind that
it is not expected, that it is not intended,
that Cuba shall be acquired in consequence OF
this proceeding but that it is supposed that
some other advantage, some domestic and
local benefit, will be secured to the President
OF the United States, by provoking debate
on this subject in Congress. Sir, do not SO
much undervalue the intelligence of the A
merican people as to apprehend any such re-
suit. The proposition seems TO be an empty
one, an idle one, ludicrous one and if it
were not for violating the respect due to tho
President of the United States and the ma
jority of the Committee who sanction il,
should say ridiculous one.

1 went in and was introduced to his wife, a
fine, fat woman, looking though she lived
on laftin', her face was SO full of fun. After a
while, after we'd talked about my girl, and a
bout the garden, and about the weather, in
come three or four children, laffin' and skip
ping as merry as crckets. There was cam

bags, in which L had put lot of sugar candy
as | went along.

The oldest came to me and says: "My name
is Peter JOnes.''
''And what's your name, sir -
fiBeb JeHes.''
The next said his name was Bill Jones, and
the fourth said his name was Tommy Jones.
L gave 'em sugar candy, and old Mrs. Jones
was SO ticklcd that she laughed all the time.
Mr.. Jones looked on, but didn't say mach.
"Why," says I, s'Mrs. Jones, | would not
take good deal for them four boys, if | had
'cm. they are SO beautiful and sprightly."
ssNo,'' says she, lafin', 81 set good deal
on 'em, but we spoil 'em too much.'

children, and hy gracious" says l, pretending
to be startled by striking resemblance be-
tween the boys and father, and l looked at
Mr.. Jones, ri never did see anything equal to
it," says l, 'syour own eyes, mouth, forehead,
and perfect pictur' OF hair, SIR tapping the
eldest on the pate.
/ thought that Mrs. Jones would have died
laffin' at that; her arms fell down by her side,
and she shook the whole house.
"Do you think so, Mr.. Smith?' said she,
looking towards Mr.. Jones, and tho't shed
60 off in fit.
ssYes,'' says I, ssI do really
