MarlRe Disaster.

The propeller. Bay State, Capt. Mar
shall. belonging TO the Northern Trnnspor-
tAtion Company, left this pOr. about III
O'clock on Sunday night, with full cargo
Of merchandise, for Cleveland and Toledo.
That she has been lost 10 the terrible gale
which followed her departure there can be
no doubt and il is feared that all on board
have met 9 wstery grave.
The officers and crew numbered in all
sixteen or eighteen persons. As no record
Was kept here of her crew, it is impossible
now ~ ascertain the exact number. Seven
passengers are known to have been aboard
and in this respect, there is ground Tor
thankfu!ness. as it is by far the smallest
passenger list she has carried the present
season.
Mr. Orley Thompson, Of Vermont, agent
OF the N. I. Co. in this city, WIS cabin
passenger-as was O woman from here
named ScrutOu, and her infant child. The
other four passengers we're 10 the steerage,
and had procured their tickets at some OF
the lower ports. lt is therefore impossi-
Bile 70 ascertain their names at the present
time.
Capt. Marshall was resident of French
Greek, and We believe four Of the crew be.
longed 70 this city.
There can BE- no possible doubt of the
loss Of this Inflated propeller. Goods, which
we're shipped on board here on Sunday
have been washed ashore, and yesterday
afternoon and to-day cart loads of the same
were picked up. At the French settlement
about three miles west of the city. her life
boats came on shore, as aiso many Of hel
pspers-
The Bay State was fine, staunch steam
or. She wa vslueG at about SIC, 600, anC
Was insured. but for what amount we colo
not learn.- Osiceg0 Times, Nor. 4h.

THE FAILING OF THE LEAr.

Aiasi for the buds Of April
AIasi fer the flowers II Mayi
This is the song I'm singing
Through all the desolate dayi
Inearly die in the silence
That is wrapping my life around
In this terrible Autumn stiffness
Unbroken by any soundi
All day sIt ut the window
Blurred with the dismal rain,
And the wind hath apitifnl cadence
Like the cry Of a soul in paint
Iknov-though never hear Ii
wailiBg among the pines
I'm taught BY touch md feeling
A thousand delicate signsi
The oak.iree and the maple
Are dropping down their leaves,
The wealth BY thsir Autumn splendor
Carpets the cottage eavesi
How royalty they perish
Meath the crimson curse Of tiost-
The latest lingering tokens
OF the glorious summer losti
The shy is 20 dull and leaden,
And the earth 30 bleak and brown,
rhaiI thank the shrouding darkness
A 1T eOmeth swiftly down;
Not % my heart ean cover
Its withersd regrets away.
Or TURF from Its bOotlsss praying,
Above their Unmarried clay.
Alas for the buds Of April
Alas Cor the flowers Of hayi
The winds and the waters wall IL,
Through all the desOlate day;
What wonder hate the silencei
What woEder / nearly die
with the ghosts Of the shrouded summer
Forever and ever nigh.
