Near Taganrog, on the Sea Of Azof, ca ca
tastrophe occurred about the beginning OF
February last, which involved loss of life
unparalleled unP except by memorable earth
quakes or volcanic feruptions. Il, 1t appears
that some three thousand Inhabitants Of, Ia
ganrogg, relying upon The promise Of fair wealth:
Eer made iby the genial atmosphere and the
cloudless. sky, proceeded to the Sea of frAzof
to indulge in the sport of fishing beneath the
ice-a favorite8 pastime of that region, The
atmosphere continuing serene, the party were
lulled into affecting of security, and ventured
further than usual upon the ice, in the hope
of obtaining good haul Suddenlya breeze
sprung up from the east, which, growing bois-
terous by degrees, whirled the loose snow and
fine particles of ice in all directions, and be-
fore long succeeded in .detaching the ice from
the shore. The large ice-feld then broke into
numerous pieces, which,. with their terrified
and helpless human freight, dritted towards
the open sea. ,.~--.-~:1:yt --ii2,&l--. .-.2-:
{ = No assistance could be rendered the unhap-
py 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 cake of ice drifted on shore
upon which were five of the ,unfortunates
three of them dead, and the other two numb
and insensible. The two latter-a girl and an
old man--were restored by means of the
usual appliances; the girl, however, survived
but few hours; the man recovered, but lost
the use OF his tOngue--a consequence, pro-
badly, of the fright caused by the scene he
had passed through. He prepared written
narrative of the occurrences Of that fearful
night on the Azof. l..a 'o-.. .-..i'-. ...l.

The Campaign I'm Virginia.

As the day approaches for the State and
Congressional election in the Old Dominion,
which takes place on the 26th of May, the
campaign becomes daily more interesting and
exciting. Mr.. Goggn, the Opposition candi-
date for Governor, recently opened his canvass
by speech at Richmond. The Richmond
Wing says that the gathering has never been
equaJled on any similar occasion in point ol
numbers, character, and enthusiasm of those
who partoOk in this demonstration at the very
opening of this campaign"
Mr.. Letcher, the Democratic candidate, is
evidently hard pushed, he having within a
short time publicly repudiated the Cuba mea-
sure, the Pacific Railroad, and the Tariff pol
icy of President Buchanan, deeming them a
dead weight to carry through the canvass -
Indeed, there appears to be a general feeling
that the Bogus Democracy have very hard
road to travel, and are in danger of defeat,
owing partly to the bitter divisions in the par
ty, and partly to the zeal and earnestness
with which the Opposition have entered into
the contest. slv g -gf ..rsg~ . "a TGD...a ~
In the Sixth Congressional District threre
is a serious feud among rival Democratic fac
tons, and all attempts to compromise the
differences have thus far failed Both MIR.
Powell, member of the last Congress-, and
Shelton F. Leake, an eager aspirant and prom,
inent Democratic politician, have taken the
field as self-nominated candidates. There is
likely to be scrub race in some other dis
tricts also. The party is becoming sadly d.
vided in the Old Dominion, circumstance of
which the Opposition will take due advantage.

Daughters of Malta.

The Buffalo Express tells of a sigular dra-
ma that was performed in that city one night
last week. At a certain boarding house there
were anumber of gentlemen, with their wives
and goodly number of EAST young men"
stopping The ladies, it appears, had an anxiety
to know something Of the Sons Of Malta, and
having ascertained that an order called the
Daughters of Malta existed, gave their mas
culine friends no peace until they had pro-
missed to procure them admittance. On the
night in question, when the husbands of the
aforesaid ladies were absent, the young scamps
informed the ladies that all was ready, and
they had been especially deputized to initiate
them into the ancient mysteries of the order
of the Daughters Of Malta. An old copy of
Kinks Exposition of Odd Fellowship had been
procured, altered somewhat to suit the Occa-
sion, and each of the actors in the scene had
duly studied and committed, his part The
room was prepared the candidates introduced,
and the whole ceremony conducted with a
gravity becoming the occasion. tits said that
the ladies were delighted with the ceremony,
but that some of their husbands were dispOs-
ed to get mad over it. On ascertaining, how
ever, that the whole affair was conducted
with the strictest propriety, they concluded
to forgive the authors Of the hoax, but insist
that none of the higher degrees shall be con-
ferred without their knowledge and consent
first had, and obtained.

The Philosophy of Happiness.

The way to happiness does not lie in at
tempting to bring our circumstances up to
our minds, but our minds, down TO. our Cir
cunstances. Many birds wear a finer coat
than the. lark, nor is there any that dwells
IN lowier home yet which of the feathered
songSters scars so high, or sings so merrily, or
teaches man so we'll how to leave -the-dav's
cares and labors for the bosom of his family,
as when, neither envying the peacock his
splendid plumage, nor the proud eagle her lof.
ty realm, itdrops singing into its grassy nest.
to caress its young and with its wings to
shield them from the cold dews of night p
To indulge an unsanctified and insatible am
bition, to attempt to bring our circumstances
up to our minds, is to fiji sieve with water,
or the grave with dead, or the sea with riv-
ers. The passions that in such case seek
qualification, are like that wretched drunk
ard thirst they burn the more they get
1t is often difficult, grant, to bring our minds
down to our circumstances, but he attempts
not difficult, but an impossible thing, who
attempts to bring his circumstances up to the
nelght OF his ambition. Nature, says the
old adage, is contented with little, grace with
less, lust with nothing And ours be the
happiness of him who, content with less
than little, pleased with whatever pleases the
Father, careful for nothing, thankful for any.

Clerical CuriOsftics.

DR.. James Muir, of the District Columbia,
wrote all his sermons and recited the nasnsori-
ter But unless the manuscript was in his
pocket he could not preach at ALL though he
never used One day having left it at home,
he was obliged to send for it before he could
begin his recitation. He was buried, at his
own request, in . grave thirteen feet under
his pulpit. lI,z ~ y.-2H4 ben
In writing sermons, Mr.. Muir was in the
habit of folding the requisite amount ofpaper,
and the scattering catch scords along the pag-
es after which be would proceed to fill up
the intervals with the thoughts which he had
carefully studied in his own mind" s.
siE Dr.. David Porter was n great otidity. "A
Napoleon head, joined by,a short neck upon q

remarkable spindle legs, cased in small clothes

sometimes did not lay aside even in preaching

room he would not only traverse the platform,
but at times descend to the floor, step over a
bench to some open space, walk there awhile,
step over another bench, and get back to the
desk from the opposite side, and all the
while carrying en- the. address without sin

DR.. Porter was very absent minded, Pray
ing with his eyes open, as was his habit, at a
"neighboring nesting" he CHANGED to see a
friend just arrived in the company, when, to
the surprise Of every body, he crossed the
room and extended his hand, exclaming with
voice of pleasure, ." o how d do r'-not
