RoMANcE-A romance of real life has been
uevcfcped n II connectian with
the catastrophe at Lost Island, last season. by
which so many people were suddenly over
whelmed by food. A middle-aged gentle
man escaped from the island, but supposed
that his wife and children persisted. He was
for months nearly insane with grief, but lately
found consolation in the society of charming
school teacher from the North, to whom he
offered his hand and fortune. He was accept
ed and the wedding was appointed, when he
was surprised by letter from his lost wife. at
Rio Janeiro. With one child she had foated
into the Gulf on piece of the wreck of their
house, was picked up by vessel and taken
to Rio Janeiro, and her letter had in some way
been so long delayed that it preceded her ar
rival only day or two. Whether the hus-
band was more glad at the recovery of his old
wife, or sorry at the loss of the new one he
alone knows; but he compensated the disap-
polntment of his afianced with a handsome
sum Of money, and sent her home, and well
coined his lost wife, as ifnothing had happened
to mar the joy Of her return.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF Two BRoTHERs.
Two sons of Mr.. Van were amusing them
selves in front of their fathers residence on
Plumb street, Cincinnati, by jumping from a
dray. Strange to say, both received similar
injuries atalmost the same time, which result
ed in their death. Either from overstraining
or falling, in jumping from the dray, they rup-
tured their omentums or cruts Robert Al
bert, aged IA years, and Theodore Lewis, aged
10 years. What makes this case more singu-
lar is, that Mr.. Van has lost all his sons by ac-

were in a shed at the time, the entire roof of

Oliver as he was quickly borne through the
air. His cries and groans, as he was dashed
through the air, were truly distressing. His
appeals for assistance were without avail for no
human power could rescue him from death,
and In few moments he was beyond hearing,
nor has his body been seen since that terrible

FIRE ARMS AND CRAcKERs.-1t is often
fruitless and ungracious task to give warning
against danger but it is also necessary one.
Our custom of observing the Fourth of July
has made dangerous practice common one,
and the result is, almost invariably, that ac-
counts of accidents and fatalities make up
large part of the record Of that memorable
day. The variety of ingenious devices by
which powder is made to explode, and the
cheap but tempting colors in which the devices
are displayed in shop windows, have led to so
many casualties, and so much suffering, that
one would think their charm ought to be about
exhausted. The reverse, however, is the fact I;
as the sales of fireworks of all kinds are said
to be on a slow but regular increase year after
year. The most that can be done is to COM
mend caution to children who will make such
perishabe and unsatisfactory investments.

The FESTIVAL OF THE FoURTH.-Parents
NAV be assured that the health and comfort of
their children will be made primary consid-
Grafton. Every Superintendent and Sabbath
School teacher, aided by the teachers OF the
public schools, will be on the watch for the
weary and feeble ones, and kind gentlemen OF
the city will volunteer with their carriages at
Lincoln Square, on the right hand side, to
carry such to the grove. The procession will
suffer little from this course; the children and
some of their teachers will gain immensely.
The decorations are progressing favorably.
A stronger force is needed to-day, at the City
Hall, in making wreaths. Hundreds will be
made in families. All lads may volunteer in
gathering evergreens, especially in the morn
ing. The enterprising firms on Main street
are getting ready to make a fine show, and
Lincoln street will be little less than con-
tinuous arch of evergreen.
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, will be
represented in the procession; but with thou
sands of bright and beaming young faces, no
one will be at loss which season will pre-
7 the chief attraction of the day. The
Mayor will preside. The speaking will be
of the three minute order. Any one at
tempting more than five minutes will be con
sidered candidate for DIR. Bemis' care at the
Hospital. The singing from so many hundred;
of children will make the sounding aisles o.
the dim woods ring.
The dinner over, all sorts of amusementi
will be in order-the only limit being regard
to the general happiness. There will be ne
formality of closing exercises, but each may
leave the grove at his pleasure. Should a kline
Providence favor the occasion, we trust day
of greater happiness will be enjoyed than ha
hitherto fallen to the lot of Worcester.

SATURDAY. JULY e. 1859.

IT isnot altogether new for men to run after
rule, the greater the folly, the greater the
crowd. The attendance to witness somebody's
exhibition of himself walking over Niagara
Falls on a tight rope, fortunately was not so
large as might have been expected from the
magnitude of the folly. Some estimate the
number at five thousand none at more than
ten thousand. One of the reporters coolly re-
marks that the general expectation that the
man would tumble from the rope made the
crowd somewhat larger than it would have been
otherwise. Under all the circumstances, the
number may be considered a very reasonable
one.
But after the performance was over, and the
-. II.l1 ia!fde to the crowd several Of
those comprehensive, acknowledging bows,
which so take the hearts of young ladies who
attend the circuses, the crowd seemed to be at
fiicted with hysteria, and their conduct was

and do very singular things. tits not so com.
mon for whole crowd to lose its sense of the
propriety of things altogether. But this one
did it quite successfully. When the little
Frenchman came into the midst of them like
conqueror, it is said they sliced him, almos
before he could take any Refreshments,
placed him upol their shoulders, and, il
a frenzy of bewildering enthusiasm, carried
him through the town in triumph. He wa

like crazy bacchanals on all sides, and shouting
in the widest manner. 1t was not unit

he was able to hide himself in an obscure cor
ner of his hotel from the murderous admira-
ton of his pursuers.
The crowd ought to be indicted for bringing
human nature into general discredit without Q
provocation. The rope walker could be more
easily pardoned for attempting to commit sui
eide, than they for making such an absurd and
ridiculous exhibition.
