A Lass OF THREE THOUSAND LIVES
Near TaganrUg, on the Sea of Azoff, a ca

that some three thousand inhabitants of

gion. The atmosphere continuing serene,
the party were lulled into a feeling of secu-
riiy, and ventured further than usual upon
the ice, in the hope of obtaining a good
haul. Suddenly a breeze sprung up from
the east, which, growing boisterous by de-
grees, whirled the loose snow and fine par
ticles of ice in all directions, and before long
succeeded in detaching the ice from the
shore. The large iceield then broke into
numerous pieces, which, with their terrified
and b. I5less human freight drifted towards
the open sea. No assistance could be rem
dered the unhappy beings by their frantic
relatives and friends on shore, and within
two hours not "a sign Of life was visible on
the surface Of the sea. On the following
day a cake of ice drifted in shore upon
which were five of the northumberland
of them dead, and the other two numb and
insensi6le. The two latter-a giIl and
an old man-were restored by means of the

LATEST FROM THE Pixies PEAK MINES
Mr.. s. q. Zdmsey of Franklin Co Mo,

from the mines. He brings favorable news
Of the prospects OF the miners-says they
are making from three to five dollars n day,
and that an industrious man is sure of al

presses it as his opinion, formed from per-
sunal observation, that the country around
the head waters of the Arkansas will yield
as richly TO The miner. if not more SO, than
those OF the Platte, besides being much SUI
perior for agricultural purposes. He would
advise small parties Of entigrants to be eau

May is iull soon To start Tor the mines, as
this is the very worst season of the year TO

SUFFERING or THE OVERLAND RourE.-
The passengers who lett San Francisco on
the llth Of February, onthe overland Route
for ST. Fouls, complain of Il great want of
the commonest articles OF food at several of
the stations between Gaudaloupe Pass and
Fort Chadbourne-all on one division. The
agent was at Fert Yuma, and must be ma
ware of the prevailing destitution. For
some four hundred miles they report that a
pound of -four can not be obtained, aud at
many of the stations corn laid in for the
mules was the only article of food they
could obtain. This they pounded into
meal and with such p~fovsnder were made
to satisfy the appetite rendered keener by
travel. 1t is thought that some of these
stations will be abandoned, as the men have
barely corn enough to last for a few days,
and 1t will take two or three weeks at least
for provisions to reach them. esq tet

RECEIPT FOR MAKING BEER. Take one
pint Of corn and boil it till it is a little soft,
add to it one pint of molasses and one gall
Ion Of water, shake them well together and
and set it by the fire, and in -four
hours the beer will be excellent. When all
the beer in the lug is used. just add more
molasses and water. The same corn
will answer for six months, and the beer
will be tit for use in twelve hours, by keep~
ing the jug which contains it warm. In
the absence of molasses, sugar or honey
will answer in its place. In the whole in
gredient used in making d gallon of beer
will not cost exceeding four cents, and it is

The LATE DIFFICULTY IN a BosToN PUB
Lrc ScHooL.-The b .siun Courier, refer
ring TO the late difficulty in u public school
of that city says:
A Roman Catholic boy. acting in accor-
dance with the Instructions of his parents,
refused to repeat the Ten Commandments
and the l. 'rd's Prayer in any other form
than that authorized by the church in whose
doctrines he had been educated: the teacher
by The order OF a mcaiher of the School
Committee, inflicted very severe punish
ment upon the boy, compelling him by the
pain OF absolute blows to disubey his pa
rents, and virtually 10 abjure his religion
The accuracy of our Information cannot be
doubted--it is from the teacher himself.--
Surprising these Iacts he true, we shall be
thankfu to any power which shall at once
relieve US from the stain of such intolerance
from barburity OF such an inquisiIiou.

There seems TO be another 6llibusteriUg
project on foot in the South, under the lead
of Gen. Henningsen, one Of the officers of
Walker in his N~icaraguan operations. The
rendezvous of the adventures is at Powder
Horn, on the Texan coast-Arazonia the
place to which they propose semigrating,"
but their intended field of operation is pro-
badly the adjoining provinces of Mexico.
Walker it is also said is about to renew
his attempt on Nicaragua, and as a prelimi-
nary step has just united with the Catholic
church. He is at present in New Orleans.
In housing around in quest of Republic
iicans upon whom to cast suspicion where
they did not dare to make q direct charge,
the Treasury investigating Committee fast
ened upon Hon. DELANo, Of Knox, among
others. The letter from D., on our first
page, shows what grounds the committee
had for bringing his name into their report
and attempting to cast odIum upon it by
! unjust inuendoes. We commend the CON-
munication to the attention OF our readers.

TERRIBLE SToRM.--A terrible snow storm
commenced here on Friday night about IL
O'Clock and continued most OF the day on
Saturday. 1t was preceded by a warm rain
and was accompanied by a heavy gale oil
wind and intense cold, SO that the snow
chung and froze fast to everything that ii
touched. The trees were loaded down with
it and the roofs of houses in many cases
seriously strained. The telegraph wires
were all broken down and the railroads east
ward badly INSTRUCTED.
The gale in and about the city did some
damage, but nothing of a very serious char
acter. The roof of GalligaD's old cabinet
shop, on Green street, now occupied as a
tenant house, was lifted up and removed
several feet, crushing in the back wall, but
injuring no one, although several persons
had a narrow escape.
Yesterday the weather cleared off and
the day was bright and calm, although some
what cold. Trains from the east and west
arrived regularly, but the New York mail
was delayed, probably in consequence of
the condition of the Hudson River road,
which we learn is nearly submerged.-Bw-

feiier was effected at Pittsburg on Thurs
day, as we learn from the Journal, in the
person of John Hudgkins, alias Martin. who
had lately arrived from Philadelphia. When
arrested and searched, over s 500 in excel.
lentIy executed counterfeit bank notes, were
fonnd on him. The amounts and names OF
the banks are as follows: $3.50 in five dollar
bills on the bank of York, Pa, finely exc.
cuted, and very close Limitations of the
genuine bills; one So bill State Scrip Bank
of Middletown, Pa, $50 dollars in ten dol
lar bills on the Western Bank OF Virginia,
Jefferson branch, a very close and dangerous
imitation; 800 dollars in three dollar bills on
the Bank Of New Jersey, branch at New
Bru nswick, a close imitation; so dollars in
ten doller bills on the State Bank of Ohio,
Cuyahoga branch, a close and excellent
counterfeit, and one 10 dollar bill on the
iron Bank Of I~ron,on, Ohio.
The whole batch was evidently Just from
the press, as they were all new and unrum-
pied.

by a depression and prostration greater than
