Two MorrHs AT Sea IN AN OPEN
BoAr-Tbe Newfoundland Ledger
gives the following particulars of the
extraordinary adventures and preserv-
alton Of five seameu, and the return Of
three Of The number 10 the regions Of
civilization, twelve months after suffer
ing shipwreck
The bark Kitty, Of Newcastle-on-
Tyne, about 400 tons, Alex. Ellis,
master, having crew Of sixteen per
sons on board, all told, left London
on the 4th Of June, 1859, with a
general cargo for York Factory, in
Hudson's Bay. On the 18th of Au-
gust following struck the ice, and on
the 9Th September, the vessel was
abandoned in latitude of 6f:48N.,
longitude 6s:5sW., the captain and
ten men taking to the long boat, and
the mate and four men putting off in
the skill. On the 9th November the
latter were picked mp by the Esqui-
maux Indians, off the Island of Ami
tok, eight days previous to which
they had nothing to subsist upon but
sea weed They were taken by the
Esquimaux TO the Moravian Missiona-
ry settlement of Okak, where they
were treated with every possible kind
ness.
They remained with the kind-heart-
cd settlers at their different places
until the 18th May, 1860, when they
left for the Hudson Bay Compauy's
settlement in Esquimaux Bay, from
whose agents they also experienced
great kindness. They next went on
to Cartwright, in Sandwich Bay. on
the 4th of July, whence they were
sent TO this place in the schooner Lot
terry, Capt Hurrell, by the agent of
Messrs. Hunt & Henley, Mr.. Good
ridge. The captain Of the Kitty and
the ten men in the long boat are sup
posed TO be lost, the mate having lost
sight of them in heavy snow squat.
Two OF the men saved were so severe
ly frost-bitten and otherwise injured
that they had to remain at Okak ;
the other two, George Stuart and ia
cob Markham, have arrived here.
Thus IL will be seen that these seamen
had been at sea in an open boat for
two months before being rescued, du-
ring the greater part of which time a
biscuit a day, with little pork, was
the luxurious part Of their subsistence.

FRoM JApAN.-Interesting news from
Japan has been received at San Fran
cisco. The japanese corvette Can
dinmarruh arrived at home from San
Francisco, carrying the news Of the
arrival Of the Japanese Embassy 10
the United States. The Gaps were
taken by surprise Mt the hattering
news received of the gorgeousness and
hospitality extended to their repre-
sentstives, but anxiety still existed to
hear the official report from the Em-
bassy. The hostile attitude, re
ported by previous advices, between
the Princess of the empire mas
been reconciled by compromises. The
real cause of the difficulty is not
known TO outside barbarians, on &C.
count Of the conflicting aud coutradio-
tory reports. Foreign merchandise
had found its way 20 Jeddo Ameri-
can cottons and woolens were princi-
pslly displayed for sale from the stores.
Of principal merchants. A well def
ned hostility exists between the native
officials and merchants, the former be-
ing afraid that the others will get
wealthy with the trade with foreign
ers. and thus WELD a money power.
Consequently spies are placed over
the merchants, and every means EN-
ployed to reduce their income, in or
der that they may have no wealth.
A Portuguese man-o.-war had arrived
at Yokohama, prepared to enter into
treaty of commerce with Japan.
At last sdvices the officials empower
ed TO negotiate we're at Jeddo.

CHINESE KrEs.-They do not con-
slider any pursuit so frivolous rs to
be denied the best advantages of
science, not even the flying of pa
per kites. II il strange to see so
Der sedate merchpts tugging away
at long string guiding kite very
ef1ectually in the air. Some are
made in the shape of birds, and the
lowering of the kestral or the quick
dive of the sparrow-hawk is beauti-
fully initiated by an expert guild
anco Of the string. The first saw
was in Shanghai, and it appeared
30 real that | got down q rifle and
tried to shoot, but was told it was
only a kite. ITO be sure it is; why
not have q shot at it? and it was
some time till understood it was
a paper not a bird kite. The Chi
nese beat us all hollow in these
things, especially in the "messen-
gers" they send spinning up the
string. They send up prettily paint
dgigantic butterflies with outspread
wings, at the back of which is q
simple continuance to make them
collapse when the butterfly reaches
the kite, and as soon as they col
lapse down comes the butterfly,
sliding along the string ready to be
adjusted for another flight.

BuFFALo HUNTINe.-In the sum
mer buffalo hunt there were 500 men,
600 women. $50 children, 100 horses,
800 oxen and $50 carts. The buffalo
first appeared in sight in the neigh.
borhood of Fad Hill, about sixty
miles from the boundary line, and in
a run in which 900 hunters were en-
gagged, 1900 bufialoes were shot. The
camp then moved sout,Iwsrds, by the
Sand Hills, until they came within
five miles of the Little Souls river,
and at this plaCe they killed over
1000. Here they stayed awhile to
dry their meat and manufacture penn
lean, and while thus occupied a herd
Of $50 came by at troi, running
their lest race. They were all brought
down and converted into pemicau.
After that and up TO the latest time
intelligence came from the camp,
three small herds-one Of eighty,
another Of thirty, and third Of ff
teen-were destroyed and consumed
on the plains. Buffalo growing scarce,
the expedition moved back 10 Devils
lake, where the mora serious business
of buffalo shooting was relieved by a
bear, beaver and deer hunt. This
sport overland good sport it was,
several grizzly bears and variety Of
lesser animals being made to bite the
dust-a council was held and n reso-
luton passed to go TO The Couteau
de Ia Prairie 90 hunt the buffalo
which were still wanting to fill the
carts. Mr.. Chaplin, a gentleman from
Philadelphia, and Lieut.. Whyte, K

Ia THE Sun GRowING Corn AND
DARKY-There are now more spots
on the sun than have been seen
before for man years; some of these
are visible through a smoked glass
to the naked eye. Several stars,
some of of great brilliancy, which,
from their ascertained distance,
must have been as large as orr sun,
have totally disappeared from the
sky; and the question has been
raised among astronomers whether
the light and heat of the sun are
gradually fading away. As this
would be accompanied by the de,
struction of all the plants and ami.
mails on the earth, it is rather an
interesting question. The suns
light and heat are diminished by
the dark spots at the present time

THE UNBURIED DEAD OF SYRIA
Our Syrian correspondent writes
that more than ten thousand human
bodies still lie upon the sides Of
Mount Hermon, in full view from
the sea of Galilee and the Mediter-
ranesn, upon the Plains of Sidon,
the ancnient Pb@nicia, biackening
in the sun. and their blood still cries
out to heaven for vengeance. II
il an Oriental custom to leave the
murdered dead unburied until JUS
tice has been satisfied, and although
in Syria the effect of the climate
upon a dead body requires its burial
within twenty-four hours of the de-
parture of its spirit from its earth
" tenament. these bodies have re-
manned unburied and in a complete
state of preservation ! In the court
yards of the palaces, in the barracks
and wherever the Christian have
fallen there lies the body now, still
awaiting the vengeance of heaven
upon the oppressorsIsnd slayers of
the Christians of Mount Lebanon.
Without entering into an explana-
ton of the physical causes which
have produced this mvmmgfoation,
it is sufficient TO say that the testi-
mony of all confirm the statement.
Wolves and hyenas have of course
done their work, but in all enclosed
premises the presence of the unburi-
ed dead remains a silent appeal TO
Him who declared, vengeance is
mine, | will repay saith the Lord

Mary Lee.
BY MRS. '. D. oAaE,

"ls there a letter for Mary Lee2"
Asked asweet voice, beseechingly.
"N0ver a one" said tn clerk with glee.
"Never one," came the words so low,
That scarcely heard, ,as che turned 70 60,
SLOW could he answer my question sof"
''Neyera one!" Her eye grew dim,
And tears fell fast, as she thought OF him,
Who had nlled her life-cup to It's brim.
Thought heard In those swelling words,
crushing among life's quiverlng chords,
As flowers are crushed by lighting birds.
Then with the clarivoyant's searching eye,
1saw, as she, sobbing, passed mel by,
The blackened scrawl Of her destiny.
'Tis an of.told tale. Ono holds hef vow,
Thatisfar away. She's forgotten now,
And falsehood 10 written upon bis brow.
She will come each day to the post-boy free
Asking for letters for Mary Lee;
And "never one," will his answer be,
Till her ieet shall fail to seek the door,
Andhope in her heart shall dwell no more,
Then the sexton will seal he: sorrows Ger.
