TArrihle Disaster at Sea.

The steamer General Sedgwick,
from Wilmington on tho Both, ari
rived in New York on Saturday.
She reports that on the 31st, 6:3O
A. NJ, off Hatteras, saw O steamer
on shore on fire, which was the
Gen Lyon, from Wilmington for
Fortress Monroe, with from 400 to
500 troops and refugees on board.
Wind blowing q gale-could rot
launch boats, but went as near to
her as possible, and picked up as
many,as she could from boats, spars
wood work, &c. Seven were taken
to the hospital at Wilmington.
The list given of the saved by
the Sedgewick, comprises only 28,
including most Of the officers Of
! the Lyon, and few refugees anu
soldiers.
A schooner was seen picking up
men, but how many she saved is
not known. When the Sedgwick
left, the Lyon lad burned to o
shell, and was fast drifting on the
breakers.

The Country Press.

Notwithstanding the high price
of materials, and the moderate
price charged for newspapers, it is
surprising thu tso few suocomb, and
that SO many are SO we'll sustained.
The only way we can account for
this is that our country people have
an honorable pride in keeping up
their local journals. This they do
mainly by a liberal advertising pat.
ronage, and partly by subscriptions.
Nor would it be desiraple to permit
the metropolitan newspapers to dis
place the local journals. Every
we'll conducted local paper serves
to call the worlds attention to the
interests and productions of the
section which it represents, be
those interest agricultural, mechan'
ical or commercial. Thus the coal
and oil regions need their journals,
so the Of gold, iron, copper and lead
interests. So of other productions,
and it is through the local press
that the world comes to know Of
these things. Therefore we rejoice
to open every well-flled and well
patronized country newspapers

Two Important Questions.

Stopping for q day or two at a
short way from Boston, Jeemes
went to barber's to get shaved
On entering and casting his eye
about the room, he perceived that
the barber drove q double trade
of tonsor and small grocer.
"Shave, sir ?" said the borber to
his customer, whose face sufficient
ly indicated the object of his visit.
Jeems made no reply, but draw
ing himself up to a lofty hight,
proceeded, in the attorneys fash
ion, to interrcgate the barber as
follows:
"Sir, you are q barber ?"
"Yes, air. Have a shaver"
"And do you keep this oyster
cellar ?"
eyes, sir. Have any oycters? "
"Well, sir, this occupation of
yours gives rise to the most horrible
suspicious. 1t is q serious thing to
submit ones head to the manipu!a-
tions of a stranger: but if you can
answer me q couple of questions to
my satisfaction, 1 should like to be
shaved"
The barber said he would try.
"Well, sir" said Jeemes solemnly.
"do you shave with the oyster
knife?"
"No, sir" said the barber, smil'
ing.
"One question more,'' continued
the interrogation, "and remember
that you are under oath, or rather
recollect that this is serious bust
ness"
The barber started.
Gone question more: Do yor
never open oysters with you

"No, sir, exclaimed the barber
indignantly, amid roar Of laugh

Horrid Fate Of a Lion Tanner
(From a Foreign Paper]

A Frenchman named Soulages,
a native of Colmar, has for some
time past been exhibiting, with
great success, at Wartzburg as a Ii
on tanner. On the 4th of August
he entered a den containing a lion
and lioness, and made them go
through various performances.
The spectators loudly applauded.
Elated by these plaudits, Soulages
determined to do something more
extraordinary, and for that purI
pose he collected in one den a lion
IL lioness, a white bear, two black
bears, four hyenas, two wolves, and
a tiger He then entered himself,
whip in hand, but the door was
scarcely closed when the tiger
made a spring at the white bear.
This was the signal for a terrific
struggle between all the beasts. who
appeared at once tohave gained all
their natural ferocity. Soulages
hoping to iHtimidate the animals
fred two pistol shots at the tiger
and white bear. This act sealed
his fate, for the tiger leaving the
bear, sprang on his keeper, threw.
him down, and began to tear him
with feet and claws. The other
beasts, rendered furious by the
smell of blood, all fell on the iuni
happy man, and in a few minuets
he was torn to peices and almost
entirely devoured, in the presence
of the horror struck spectators,
who were powerless to render as
sistance. 20 ri Ao

Swiss Passenger Cars.

In Switzerland, nothing can be
more convenient than a railway
carriage, to which the traveller gains
access by ascending a few steps,
leading to sort of balcony or plat.

a door opens into The interior, fitted
up like saloon, with table in the
middle. and seats al round /; the
passengers, instead of being cramp-
ed by sitting for hours in the same
posture, can walk about, or write,
or play at chess or whist if they
please. The seats are made SO as
to face different points of the com
pass, and everything is arranged on
the most comfortable plan, with the
only exception that the traveller
desirous of solitude is not alone
a questionable comfort, which as
we but too well know, is fraught

LAZY BoYs.-Every boy aud par.
ent in the land should carefully
read and seriously reflect upon the
following: ga lazy boy makes a la
zy man, lust as sure asa crooked
sapling makes crooked tree
Who ever saw q lazy boy grow up
in idleness that did not make a
shiftless vagabond when he became
a man, unless he had a fortune left
him to keep up appearances? The
great mass of thieves, criminals
and psupers have come to what
they are by being brought up in
idleness. Those who constitute
thebusiness part of the community
those who make our great and VS. :
full men, were taught in their boy
hood to be industrious.

The Future Of the Democracy.

Says the Albany Argus: Shall we
sink as a party? The answer is
easy and certain. If despotism is
to triumph over free government,
the Democracy is forever dead. If
self government triumph over king
ly pretensions, we live as victors.-
The people can find in their respon-
ses, the answer. AS q party we
never stood better. AS to hopeful
consequences, we never stood SO
strong. A minority by only few
thousand will escape the response,
bility Of power at the most critical
time in national existence. Scarce.
ly below majority we are too strong
to be subjugated; While the logic of
experience will surely bring US re
Inducements, and our enemy must
register consequent desertions.
Taxation, death and woe, are the
luxuries with which our opponents
must load their tables of those they
invite to their FEAST perchauce Of
death Their guests will be nu.
merous, their rejoicors will be few.
Discord and beligerent Republics
or brutal anarchy, and extended
and densely populated graveyards,
will be the patrimony bequeathed,
if they pursue a fatal policy; while
remorse and blighted recOllections
will gnaw their vitals if they are
forced to yield to us. 1t will be
ours to suffer in the former, t.
counsel iu the latter, while the
power covers the responsibility
Let no Democrat feel sad that
his party cannot press the bitter
cup to the lip that Is ultimately tc

those who preside at the Table o.

Let no conservative mourn at the
