The Song OF THE SHIRT.-There came
poor, careworn, scantily clad young woman TO
the Mayors Office on the 18th ult to tell her
wrongs Her name was Catherine Collie, and
her residence II Beach street. She had been
married, but her husband, a scattering man,
wss lost at sea, and she was now compelled to
support herself and child by making shirts at
four shllings dozen! She had been working
for man on the fourth story of III Fulton
street, whose name we did not know, but it
was subsequently found to be Charles Dan
comb. He gave her eight shirts to make, ex-
acting deposit Of So as security for the stuff.
Having finished the work and returned it, he
refused to pay her for her labor, or to refund
the So which she had deposited with him. The
same kind of work, she said, she had beer
doing for another man, to his satisfaction, at
six shillings dozen, but he was oyerrun with
applications that he was unable TO furnish all
with employment. The Mayor sent the poor
woman with officer Macarthur TO Dancombs
place, when he still persisted in refusing TO
pay her, and it was only when the officer was
about to arrest him that he offered to compro-
mise by returning the So. AS he would not
pay the wages, Mrs. Collie concluded that she
had better accept the offer. The Mayor made
up her loss from his private purse There are
hundreds of Sweaters" in this city who adycr-
tise for seamstresscs with no other object in
view than to swinde them out Of the money
which they compel them TO leave as security

SWEET PoTAToEs.-Now is exactly the
time to put sweet potatoes in the hot bed, for
growing slips to plant out the present season.
AS soon as the shoots have grown two or three
inches, they may be planted out the latter part
of this month. The land should be warm
and rather rich soil, and should be ridged
up in ridges four feet apart. Win not some of
our cultivators who have hot beds in order to
put in few of these valuable tubers, and fur
nish slips for themselves and neighbors, and
let us have some good specimens of sweet po-
tato culture at our exhibitions, this fall The
sweet potato is extensively and successful
ly cultivated in our latitude at the West and
it is done by starting them in the hot bed
thus gaining about months time.

The DESTRUCTION OF QUITo.-The great
earthquake on the 18th day of last March,
which for four minutes shook the mountain
range of Chimborazo, damaged nearly every
building in the city OF Quito and it is suppos-
ed 5000 persons were killed;
"The churches, monasteries, converts, and
State editices, are almost all rent to fragments.
The Convent of San Augustin, the Tabernacle
de la Capilla, the Temple of the Segrara, the
Cathedral the Convent of Santa Catalina, the
Palacio del Obispo, the Chapel of la MERGED,
the Chapels of the Cathedral, of the Compai-
MIA, Of the Hospital of CARMEN Vajo, the
cloisters of the Convent of Santa Domingo,
part of the Convictorio of San Fernando, are
all partially or wholly in ruins. Also, the
converts of San Diego, Santa Clara, and San
ia Barbara.
That portion of the Palace occupied by the
Minister of the Interior, great part of the
College of San Luis, and the splendid mansion
of DR.. Albuja have also fallen. All the prin-
cipal buildings of the neighboring towns of
San Antonio, Cotocolla, Machecha, Chillogal-
10, and Magdalena, have been destroyed. The
loss Of property is estimated at three millions
Of dollars; and from the poverty of the people
it will be impossible to repair and rebuild any
great number of the better class of edifices de-
stroyed. The shocks were felt simultaneously
in Tacunga Ambato, and Alausi, and in Tin
pullo the earth opened in various places. The
earthquake was also felt at Guayaquil, but did
no damage there.
The temples of San Francisco del Segrario
and Santa Clara were of beautiful archtec-
ture; the temples and converts of Santa Do
mingo, la MERGED and San Augustin, all had
fine stone tacades and towers; the temples of
Santa Catalina and Conception and the Hos
pital, also had stone tacades.
Quito is said to contain about 10000 inhab-
| itants. 1t is built on an extensive plain,
against the mountains of Panecillo and Piehin-
cha, and is about $500 feet above the level of
the sea. Most of the houses are of two stories
and some three, and part one story. Many
are built of burnt brick, with handsome IA
cades, but the greatest portion are unburnt
brick or adobe.
The greatest distress and CONSERVATION pre-
vailed at Quito, when the mail left. Thou
sands Of persons have been left houseless, and
the Government and Church are not only too
poor to afford relief to the houseless and desti'
tute, but are without means to rebuild the
public edifices. The poor sufferers will have
to shift for themselves unless reliefis sent them
from abroad" 1t is reported that number
of small towns to the North of Quito have also
| been destroyed"

POLITICAL.

The Republicans of Wheeling Va, have
issued cordial and earnest request to the Ma
tional Republican Committee to hold the Ma
tionai Convention next year in that city. 1t
is understood that attention had been previous
ly directed to the propriety of holding the con-
vention in slave State where the seed of Re-
publicanism has been sown, and needs all the
encouragement and support that can be given
to il.
Charles H. Sanborn of New Hampshire has
addressed bold and spirited letter to the Re-
publican Committee of that State in behalf Of
those Republicans in Marston's Congressional
District who refused to support Mr.. Marston,

The LOST CITY.-Quito, which has just
been visited with one of those earthquakes
that so trouble the shaky lands of the South, is
one of the finest cities in South America, ly
ing only IL minutes South of the equator, and
being the principal place in Ecuador (Equa-
tori 1t has, or had, about 10000 inhabitants.
In climate there is nothing superior to the
country in which it lies. There is no such
thing as a bad day known. The soil is always
green, the foliage is never yellow, the fruit is
ever ripe, the flowers never cease to bloom.
You can pluck from the same tree the orange
and the orange-flower The ideas that men
have of the Elysian Fields seem there to be re-
allied. "From the bleak pole no winds in
clement blow" to "lnould the round hail or
flake the fleecy snow :" but all is blissful as
the Greeks thought it must be in the Isles of
the Blessed. Yet there is ever in the sight of
the inhabitants of that delicious land the stern
est reminders Of the infecties OF human life.
Right before their eyes rise nearly dozen OF
mighty volcanic cones, towering III solemn
grandeur heavenward, and clothed in sempi-
ternal SHOWS. These shoot up from the vast
chain Of the Andes, and are considered the mo-
blest works of the kind in the world. They
are the giant skeletons that sit at the magnlii-
cent table which Nature has spread for the
people of Quito, reminding them of the transi.
tory character ofjoy and of the uncertainty OF
human happiness. Wherever is the volcano,
there the earthquake is sure to come. Quito
has more than once suffered from this most
terrible of yisitaions, and the fact, so often no
ted in similar cases, here occurs, the inhabi-
tants being disposed to make the most of the
good that lies around them, and to dance on
the fiowar-coyered precipice where they exist.

LIFE AFTER BURIAL-A singular occur
renee, was discovered in a vault attached to
one of our burial grounds on Sunday last 1t
was that of a female, deposited therein for
dead some two months since, being found,
on opening the coffin, to be lying on her side,
with one hand under the head. From this, it
was evident that the woman was alive when
placed there, and awaking from the trance into
which she had fallen, endeavored to extricate
herself from her entombment This of course
was an impossibility the cover was not only
screwed down tightly, but the space was too
contracted to allow of even an effort 1t was
evident, however, that the unfortunate wo-
man became convinced of this fact, and con-
cluded to die. She therefore took the easy
posture in which she was found, and breathed
her last. The thought that they had buried
her while yet alive, set her friends almost
crazed. The body was that of woman who
formerly resided in the Bowery. The father
and mother of the deceased had just arrived
from the old country last week, and were
brought to the vault to see their child. The
scene is related as heartrending. - Albany
