REMARKABLE EsCAPEs.-The S. F. Herald
of the 10th says:
The steamer from Sacramento, brought
down, last night,a large number of persons
rescued from different points along the riv-
er-includng thirty-sx women aud chill
dren. The scene at Platt's Hall at 10 O'Clock
last night was really affecting. There was
one family of seven persons named Stem
mermon. The children, the youngest of
whom is not more than one year old, wore
wet garments, just as they were taken on
board the steamer. They were rescued
from knoll sixteen miles below Sacramen-
to. and when first seen they were huddled
up with few head of cattle on the only
spot of "terra firma" out of water in the
neighborhood. The swell created by the
steamer washed the cattle off, but the whole
family was saved. Two Of the eldest chill
dren got adrift and came very near being
drowned, but were rescued by boat from
the steamer. Another family ofsix persons
were taken off from their farm where the
water was four feet deep. The father was
on horseback holding the two youngest
children. The mother was standing with
the water nearly up to her arm pits.

MILL1NERY.-We are not in the habit
of peering into other peoples windows,
but we can not we'll avoid, without doing
injustice to our feelings, to pause a mo-
ment in front of Mrs. LEoeATT's Millin-
cry rooms, and admire the beautiful styles
of bonnets and tasty trimmings on exhi-
bition there. We presume our village
ladies know where to find that love of
a bonnet" of which they are in search,
and any others visiting Grand Haven from
a distance will find at Mrs. LEoeATT's an
ornament for the head that can not fail TO
please themselves, husbands and sweet

GREAT activity in lumber shipping pre-
walls at FuLLER's dock about these days.
We noticed two large vessels loading on
Monday last, and yet thousands upon
thousands of feet in huge piles remain to
load others. The man that could wish a
mighty confagration to sweep over the
fair cities of the West, in order to raise
the price and make good market for
lumber, is a most wicked and heartless
wretch, and deserves to be hung a la Ha-
man. But then it would be most well
come era that would usher in, in leglt-
innate way, good remunerative price for
that staple commodity of the Grand Riv-
or Valley-Lumber.

The way to keep auditors awake in
church was happily illustrated last Sab
bath, at Lamont. Rev. Mr.. W., Of the
Congregational Church, was preaching a
discourse somewhat doctrinal in its nature,
and, perhaps, little prosy on that ac-
count to some OF his congregation, who,
therefore, unwittingly, no doubt, closed
their eyes, and while in trance-like state,
manifested their unqualified appreciation
of the sentiments uttered by very polite
mods Of approval to the annoyance of the
speaker, who suddenly paused, exclaim-
ing: "Some of our brethren are asleep,
will some one please open the outside door
and let the pure breeze of heaven fan the
cheeks of the sleepers." The effect of
this benevolent care Of the speaker for the
comfort of his auditors was duly appreci-
ated, and no lack of wakefuluess was az
terward manifested during the services.
As warm, dozy weather is approaching
would it not be we'll for the sections of our
churches to allow the pure breezes Of
heaven to visit the congregations to en-
liven their dropping, drowsy spirits, dur
ing service.
