Horrible-Forty Men singularly Poi,
soned or Diseased.

Some thirty boatmen yesterday morning
called at the Office of the board of health
for medical treatment. They had just ar
rived in steamer from up the river, and
had been dreadfully poisoned or diseased
through handling certain bags of wheat
All who had been engaged in slowing the
wheat on board, and two or three persons
who had simply sat for short time on the
sacks, were affected with large and highly
infamed welts running all over the body
DIR. Grimsteed, the health clerk, was in
clined to attribute the distemper to the
prevalence of black rot in the wheat
cereals occasionally becoming infested with
species of terribly prolific animalcula
that disseminate themselves at once by con-
tact, and whose presence in grain is popu-
larly designated as the black ret Some
ten others, besides those who visited the
health Office, were similarly afflicted. DIR.
G. instantly furnished the party with ap-
propriate medicine, and gave such advice
as he deemed proper in the case.
An opinion among the patients was that
the bags had been purposely poisoned, to
prevent ants from eating the grain. This
appears incredible. Another hypothesis
is that the sacks had been in contact with
a certain peculiar and poisonous species of
oak. It strikes us that these sick ones
should have the freight complained of, and
the vessel concerned ought to receive care
full and close attention. Certainly steps
should at least be taken to prevent others
from suffering through handling the nox-
ious sacks of grain. We cannot learn that
even the name of the steamer is known to
the health authorities.-&. Louis Demo-

since coming to California Two of the
Indian women speak Hawaiian altogether.
One OF them reads it with considerable ease
and correctness, joins in the singing, takes
part In the prayer meetings, and prays in
secret. She has just been taken down with
the small pox. l shall earnestly plead that
she may not be taken away now. She is
the mother of three bright children-one
now at Hilo, Sandwich Islands. The eldest
child, girl of eight or ten years, they say
is a good reader. She is fast recovering
from the small pox, and acts like we'll
behaved and thoughtful girl. My heart
has been touched by her patience under
suffering. They have put a stop to drunk
enness among themselves, sending off those
who drink and steal. They tell me that
after due deliberation, they voted to raise
S50O for new church, and that it is to be
accomplished within this year. After
some hesitation as to whether to contribute
anything for missionary purposes till they
had raised the $500 for their church, they
finally voted, before arrived, to take up a
contribution at every monthly concert.

Sad Incidents.

Says the Easton Express: Two sisters
who had barely escaped the food with
their lives, at Penn Haven, one having
been pulled out ofthe water by the hair,
came to Mauch Chunk yesterday afternoon
on their way home. The father had just
arrived in town to see if his daughters
were safe, and finding that they were, he
started for home. A short time after he
was gone, the daughters got into boat to.
cross the river, and while they were sitting
in the boat young man jumped in to cross
with them, when the boat upset, and both
of the girls were drowned Their bodies
were recovered in few hours after, and by
the time the father had reached home he
received the news of the death of his
daughters.
A woman was found drowned a short
distance from Mauch Chunk; she had a
child in her arms, also dead The child
was receiving nourishment from its parent
when oVertaken by the water, as its posi-
tion upon the mothers breast when found
proved. The complete history of the re,
cent disastrous freshet will never be writ
ten. Many heart has been wrung by it,
and many homes rendered desolate by its
ravageS.

New Remedy for Intemperance.

The latest prescription we have seen is
the following, which we commend to the
temperance speakers on Friday evening
next as one likely to prove eficacious.-
The society might pass a resolution that
each member provide him or herself with
a good switch and all hands lay on the
back OF the first man caught drunk on the
streets:
A new use of sthe rod was recently
inaugurated in Vermont, State which has
been liberal in its bestowal of'new notions
upon the race. 1t seems that drunken
vagabond took it into his head to perform
the humane act of ridding his family and
society of his disgusting presence and
burthensome support, by simply drinking
an unusually large dose of laudanum. He
drank the laudanum; but it seems that his
family and neighbors did not appreciate
his kind attentions and so determined to
foil them. A physician was sent for, who
after contemplating the stupefed brute
short time, came to the conclusion that
nothing would save him but sound drub,
bing. Switches we're ordered, and a cou-
pie of men commenced the work of whip
ping the nearly defunct inebriate back in
to the bosom of society and his family
After switching him for quarter of an
hour, signs of animation were exhibited
by the patient, and by and by he sat up,
and called for brandy. A glass was given
him, which he drank, and Immediately
relapsed into state of insensibility. Again
the switches were faithfully applied, and
after an incredible whipping the patient
again showed signs of life. The novel ap-
plication was continued with undated Wig
or, until the patient was fully restored to
consciousness and pronounced out of dam
ger. 1t is said that the physician who
prescribed this novel treatment of the case
is something of wag, and was determined
that his patient should have his deserts at
least once in his life, even if he was cured
by it.

Sharn Work in Canada.

A few days since, dreadful murder was
committed in the town of Moateagle, C.
W. An alteration took place between two.
friends, one of whom, named Edwards, had
shot hens belonging to the other, Mr.. Mon.
roe. The latter and his son went to Ed
wards house to expostulate with him.
Edwards said he would continue to shoot
the hens whenever they came on his grain,
and at once took his gun for that purpose.
Monroe took hold of the gun, and Edwards
drew a pistol, which Monroe wrenched
from him, and told his son to take it. At
this Edwards wife came behind Monroe
and struck him across the head with
scythe, cutting into the brain. When he
fell, she struck again, nearly cutting off his
arm. Edwards then seized the pistol and
shot young Monroe in the back, infic-
ting mortal wound. The murderers
have been taken in custody.

MISCELLANEOUS
Potecting Rebel Prnnartv.

There has been much complaint that the
w hlte House. property in the vicinity
OF Rlchmond, belonging to a rebel Gener
al named Lee, and inhabited by portion
OF his tamily was scarcely guarded by our
soldiers, under orders, although, many of
our sick and wounded were suffering for
just such protection as it and the buildings
attached to it, would afford. Even the
spring on the property, it is stated, our
thirsty soldiers were not permitted to drink
from, but had to go to a muddy river to
quench their thirst. In Congress on Mon
day week the following remarks were
made on the subject:
Mr.. Potter, of Wisconsin, offered reso-
luton requesting the Secretary of War to
inform the House by whose orders the
house OF an arch traitor at White House
Point is guarded and protected by U. S.
soldiers and withheld from hospital purpo-
ses?
Mr.. Potter said that there was an excel
lent spring on the premises, which was re-
fused to our soldiers, who had to drink the
water of the Pamunky river. The pro-
ceedlngs in this matter were mere contin-
uance of conciliatory policy towards un-
thankful rebe S.
MIR. Dunn stated that the house was pro-
tected out of respect for the memory of
Washington, and not from tender regard
tor Lee, and expressed his surprise that
the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Pot
ter) should have insinuated that this pro-
lection was placed upon the latter ground.
The country would appreciate the motive
of our Commanding General
Mr.. Sedgwick, of New York, said he
had visited the place. The house was built
within the last ten or fifteen years, and a
great many years since Washington was
gathered to his fathers. The land is high,
and admirably adapted for hospital purpo-
ses. There are several outbuildings in good
condition; and he had been informed by
several persons connected with the service
that the houses were capable of accommo-
dating from $50 to 200 men, He believed
that if Washington were alive he would
not beinfuenced by any such sentimentalty
as that they should not be used for the
sick and wounded soldiers of the Union
for the establishment of which Washing
ton had suffered and contributed so much.
On the Secretary of War telegraphing
that the houses should he used for hospi,
tails some one of Gen McClellan's a nv
Che hoped it was not Mcclellan himself
replied that those who urged the request
were enemies OF the war and the country.
Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, testified
as to the facts stated by Mr.. Sedgwick -
He was there himself, together with a col
league, and was prevented from passing
over the grounds in order to reach the
steamboat. He was confronted by bay
onet, and informed that there were posi-
tive orders to prevent anybody from tres
passing on the premises. He was also told
that captain was the day before put un-
der arrest for allowing persons to cross the
grounds.
The resolution was passed.

is bankruptcy, when it saves mans chill
dren. l see many men who are bringing
up their children as I should bring up
mine, if, when they were ten years old, ]
should lay them on dissecting table and
cut the sinews of their arms and legs, so
that they could neither walk nor use their
hands, but sit still and be fed. Thus rich
men are putting the knife ofindolence and
luxury to their children's energies, and
they grow up, fatted, lazy calves, good for
nothing at twenty-five but to drink deep
and squander wide, and the father must be
slave all his life in order to make beasts
of his children. How blessed, then, is the
stroke of disaster which sets the children
free, and gives them over to the hard but
kind bosom OF poverty, who says to them,
work, and working makes them men.--

A Relic of Human Slavery.

There is now on exhibition at the Staats
Zeitung office, on Wells street, an iron col
lar weighing pound and half which was
sawed from a negro's neck by VIM. Eich-
elbach, blacksmith in the Hecker regi-
ment, and sent to that office by DIR. Wag-
ner. Upon the collar is rudely engraved
'J. FennelPs slave The negro, four
years and half ago, ran away from his
master, was recaptured, and eoer since
has worn this CALLING collar as punish
ment. Some weeks since he again escaped,
and came into the lines of the Hecker reg
iment. The gallant fellows atonce express
sed their love of liberty and hatred of hu-
man slavery by saving off the barbarous
and torturing collar from the slaves neck,
and employing him as a teamster. When
j. Fennell, man owner, RECEIVERS his prop
erty, it will probably be through thousand
bayonets, and when he RECEIVERS his collar
he will probably know it Chicago Tri-
bune.

LEES HOUSE TO BE MADE A HOSPITAL.
This house, known as the White House,
and which the Government has been SO
frequently urged to transform into hospi-
tai, was yesterday made the comfortable
quarters, of five hundred sick and wounded
soldiers, through an order from Secretary
Stanton.
The Secretary and President were urged
to issue this order, by DIR. Green, President
of the New York Medical College, and
Gen. z. NJ. Wetmore and j. Burns, of the
New England Soldiers Relief Association
The President and Secretary said the rea-
son they did net issue this order when urg-
ed before, was because Gen. Mcclellan OBJ
jected to it.
The grounds around this residence are
spacious, the water splendid, and the rooms
admirably calculated to make fine hospi-
tai.
The President, when first spoken to by
the gentlemen above mentioned, urged
some objection to the arrangement, saying
that Gen. Mcclellan had had some talk
with Col. Lee on previous occasion, and
had promised if the occasion offered, to pro-
tect his residence against occupation by
any United States troops but when Mr.
Lincoln heard how our soldiers were with
out shelter, except such as afforded by ne
gro huts and barns, and subjected to drink
impure water, while the rooms of Col Lees
house was empty and guarded by United
States soldiers, he said the order must
come. IF Gen. Mcclellan has made a
promise to Col. Lee which he cannot break
| will now break it for him.
Mr.. Burns, editor of the Yonker Clarion,
started for White House Landing, at 8
o'clock yesterday, with the official order of
Secretary Stanton, throwing open these
grounds and rooms to the hundreds of sick
and wounded who heretofore have laid in
negro huts, open carts, and on the gronnd.

A Kanaka Community in California.

A gentleman who has resided long in
the Hawaiian Islands, writes thus from In
dian Creek, Ell Dorado county:
found here twenty four Kanakas, prin-
cipally Hawaiians, and two from the South
Seas; two Hawaiian women, three Indian
women, of the Digger race, and four half
Indian children. At this I was not sur
prised. But | was not prepared to find
two of the Indian women speaking Hawai-
ian very correctly, all of them dressing
neatly, cutting, sewing, washing, and IRON
ing their own and their husbands and
children's clothes; to find one of them
reading the Hawaiian Bible very intelli-
gently, as does also the oldest child girl
OF eight or ten years to find two of these
Digger women taking part in prayer
meetings, expressing regrets of their for
mer ignorance, and piety for their ignorant
relatives; and to find them all desirous to
learn more. | was not prepared to find one
OF the best of their dwelling houses set
apart exclusively for religious Worship
foored, seated with backless benches, with
table at one end for speaker; to find
the natives holding early morning and eg-
ening meetings every week day, besides
seven district meetings on Sunday, and on
Thursday afternoon meeting; and to find
that for few weeks past they have kept
up an afternoon singing school. Most of
their dwelling houses were quite rough,
but Kenao, perhaps the most substantial
Hawaiian Christian in California, / found
living in neat little clapboard house put
up by himself, painted outside and in, and
two of the rooms neatly papered. have
not found more interesting community
