A Loss of Three Thousand Lives

Near Taganrog on the Sea OF Azoh, a catastro
phc occurred, about the beginning of February
last which involved loss uiift unparalleled cX-
cept by memorable earthquake volcanic crup-
tons. 1t appears that some three thousand nhab-
itants of Taganrog, relying upon the promise Of
fair weather made by the genial atmosphere and
the cloudless sky, proceeded to tho azof TO n-
duge in the sport of fishing beneath the ice-a ia
vorte pastime in that region. The atmosphere
continuing serene. the party were lullcd into a
feeling Of security, and yenturcd further than
usual on the ice in the hope of obtaining a good
haul. Suddenly breeze sprung up from the east
which. growing bosterous by degrees whirled the
loose snow and fine particles of ice in all drcc-
tons and before long succeeded in dctaching the
ice from the shore. The large icefeld then b roke
into numerous pieces, which, with their terri ted
and helpless human freight, driftcd towards the
open sea- No assistance could be rendered the
unhappy beings by their frantic relatives and
friends on Shore and within two hours not sign
OF life was visible on the surface of the sea On
the following day cake Vt ice driftcd in shore
upon which were five of the unfortunates-three
Iot them dead, and the other two numb and inscn-
sible. The two latter-a girl and an old man
were restored by means of the usual appliances,
tine girl, however, survived but few hours; the
man recovered, but lost the use ofhis tongue-a
consequence probably, OF the fright caused by the
scene he had passed through lie prepared IL
night on the Azof
BY this catastrophe at least three thousand
persons found watery grave.

at Merida the capitol. OH or about the 10th ult.,

We only know that their plan did not succeed,

Upon inquiries. however, of our informant, who

the State, and that they feel great confidence in
successful overturn yet, though they have failed
for the present.
As to the war of races, also assured that
there is no prospect of peace or even truce yet.
The Indians everywhere manifest the most hostile
spirit and determination to pursue the war to
the end. Several of the messengers who bore to
them the proifered amnesty were killed on the

How TO SAVE BLOSSOMS FROM BlIeHr.-The par
n,raph below we find in an exchange without
credit 1t amy provo valuable to growers Of fruit
trees, and with that hope, we transfer it to the
columns Of the IirSiunn:
In this latitude it is we'll known by POI
biologists that tho frost is out of the
ground in the Spring, the snp begins to ascend in
t. the body and limbs of trees, the buds swell, the
Leaves start aud the blossoms soon appear. And
il is well known, too, in some seasons the buds
ara much damaged, or the blossoms are entirely
hligthed by the cold and frosty nights that
follow, In conversation recently with practical
pnmolosst. who has been eminently success -ful in
rai,ing all kinds of INDEPENDENTLY plumbs,-
peaches aud cherrcs-hc informed us that the
great sccrc, of his in keeping the frost
IN the ground until tho dangerous nights had pass
c hy early spreading over the surface OF the
groand above the roots, of sufficient depth, straw,
manure or any kind of compost; that in some sea-
sons he had seen his nei shbors trees in full
bloom, even before he removed his surface cover
ing, and the result proved that while not unire-
quenly the frosty nights were fatal t" his neigh
hers crops, his own trees, blossomins out late.
were always sure to yield him an abundant har
vest.
