WRECK OF BRIG FLoRENcE.-Information
has been received in this city from the Brig
Florence, Capt Winslow, of Portland recent
ly reported wrecked while on the passage from
Cuba to Philadelphia, with sugar. The YES
sci went ashore on the north OF Lookout
Light; she was seen on the morning of the
18th Of December by the keeper of the Light
5. L. OF the easterly Light on Lookout Shoal.
The sea at the time was making clear breach
over her as it was running very high. On
the afternoon of the 18th at high tide the
vessel floated off and came ashore with both
masts standing, but the yards had gone. A
large boat was dashed ON deck bottom up, and
broken in two probably by the fall of the
spars; both anchors were dashed Oh the bow.
The cabin was all stove up, and clothing,
chests, bedding, chronometer, two watches,
de-, were all scattered together in one mass
OF confusion. Considerable clothing with
chests, &C., were washed ashore some eight
miles north Of the wreck. There was some
money and Spanish coin found in the cabin
ut was known that she had some Is ounces
Of Spanish silver on board when she left
Havana. The vessel soon after entirely
broke up, and the beach is strewn for miles
with the wreck and empty sugar-boxes. The
above facts would seem to afford sufficient ey-
idence that all hands persisted and none were
left to tell the tale.

charged. J.o'Donnell, Esq, for defendants.
Jacob Ayers was complained of for an as
sault on Miss --,t to which he plead
ed not guilty.
The parties reside in Saccarappa. The
complainant alleges that last Sabbath af-
ternoon she was prevented by defendant from
entering the pew she occupied and which was
owned by the - family, in the Methodist
chapel at that place. and was obliged to go in
to the next pew and step over the back in Or
der to get into her own pew. That after she
got into the pew defendant used abusive Ian
guage towards her, calling her hard names
and violently assaulted her. The complain
ant gave her testimony very glibly. Upon be-
ing asked her age by Mr.. Deane, she replied
II he was widower perhaps she would tell
him.
The defendant alleges that the pew was his,
he having purchased it of one Mayberry, who
bought it when 1t was sold for taxes. That
he did not refuse admission to the pew to

Sunday for the purpose OF admitting her, but
that she stepped into the pew behind and
jumped over the back Of the pew, and that,
when she was in 1t she began to abuse him
with vile language, and attempted to shove
him out of the pew. He denies that he used
any violence towards complainant, more than
was necessary to defend himself.
Judge Kingsbury said it was disgraceful
proceeding in the house of God on the Sab
bath, and that both parties were to blame.
But as the preponderance of evidence was
that the defendant commenced the assault in
the pew by laying hands on Miss -, he
should impose nominal fine. He ordered
defendant to pay fine of one dollar and costs

OW TO CALCULATE PREMIUM ON eoTD.

HOW TO CALCULATE PREMIUM ON GOLD,
Add 100 to premium on gold, divide into
10000. and the quotient will be the val
ue of one dollar paper currency in cents.
Thus; suppose gold quoted at 30 cents
psemium. this added to 100 equals l5O.
which divided into 10000 gives 6tS
cents, value Of one dollar paper currency.
By same rule, if goli reaches 100 cents
premium by adding we have 200 by
which divide 10000, and We have value
of paper money, 50 cents.
By this simple process any one can as
certain the value of bills, whatever gold
quotations may be, and thus correct the
error Of many. who supposed that a
green, back dollar is worth as much less
than one hundred cents, as gold is quoted
above.

RIVERS or BLOOD.

The circulation in the system is MOI
unlike the flow of rivers to the, sea which
move smoothly until they are clogged or
obstructed. But when drift wood or al
luvial deposit dams them up, then comes
the tearing devastation that follows the
obstruction of force which cannot be
stayed. So the blood clrculates insensi-
bly, through the system until it becomes
clogged by disease then burst out the
ulcers, sores and disorders which follow
that condition. Take Ayers Sarsaparil
la and purify your blood. to save your.
self from the floods, freShets and deuges
which sweep unnumbered multitudes out
upon that shoreless sea which swallows
all mankind.

SEALING WAX,

SEALING WAX,
Wax for sealing fruit,cans can be easl-
y made by melting one pound of COM
mon rosin with about three ounces OF lard,
fresh bitter, or talow, slowly over fire.
After the mass is Melted take little out
in spoon, cool it and chew it, if it is
sufficiently soft from the warmth of the
mouth to string out long and fine, and
then break from cooling, it is right. If
it will not break after pulling, it is too
soft will run in warm weather. and more
rosin must be added. If il will not string
out, it is too hard, will crack of the cans
in cold weather, and more butter OF tai
low must be added, some add gum shell
lac, bees wax, &c, but these are unneces-
sary. II you wan! red WAX stir in a little
vtntian red, and for black, use lamp
black.
Canned fruit should be kept whore it
will not freeze.
