though every blow of the axe caused her the
most circulating agony. Hearing some
one say, 'Remove that dead man and it

earth was dug away and she dragged from
under the car and placed on the grass. The
first question she asked was, 'Who is

could not see, but not knowing why, and
dictated telegram to her husband at Mil

she does not yet know, although she often
speaks of her having been blind for some
time after the accident. Nor did she ever
see her babe again, since it was playfully
kissing its mamma at the moment when
the whistle sounded. Its little crushed body
was forwarded on Thursday to Milwaukee
for burial.

took place, and she cooIy gave the most
judicious directions to the ladies in atten-

Steamboat Collision.
Full Particulars OF the Catastrophe


DETROIT, November "a. Another coils
ion like that of the steamer Pewabic, occur
red last evening in lake st. Clair.
The news reached here at late hour of
the night, that at few minutes after six
o'clock a collision occurred between the
Lake Superior steamer Lac La Belle, bound
down and the Detroit and Milwaukee Rail-
way Company's steamship Milwaukee,, bound
up, and resulted in the former being sunk
in about twenty feet of water with the loss
Of two lives.
According to the statement Of the Lac La
Bellies officers, before rounding bend in
the st. Clair River, about two miles above
the fats steamer was discerned ahead
which subsequently proved to be the Mil
waukee with proper lights burning, and the
Lac La Belle kept on her usual course. At
ter rounding the bend, the steamer was kept
close to the American shore, and blew her
whistle once, which was a signal to the Mil
waukee to keep the starboard or right hand
side of the river. The two steamers kept on.
After signalling the Milwaukee, the wheel
Of the Lac La Belle was put aport, and then
a'secoud signal was given At this time
the wheel Of the latter was put still more
port, and she was run as close to the shore
as was considered prudent
Shortly afterward, the Milwaukee struck
the Lac La Belle on the port side, about for
ty or fly feet from the stern, with terrible
force, cutting her almost in two, and crush
ing her timbers etc like so much paper -
She reeled slightly. and the damage being
great she speedily filled and sank inside OF
five minutes. She went down in about &c
feet of water, and now lies with a portion Of
her upper works only exposed above water.
From the movements of the Milwaukee, it
was supposed that she desired to pass on the
port side. but as the Lac La Belle was close
to the American shore it was impossible, es-
pecially as her wheel had been put hard
q port and she was swinging to change her
course in time to prevent collision.
When the Milwaukee struck the Lac Ia
Belle, she penetrated her side 80 far that for
a time she was unable to extricate herself
The Captain of the former aided by Captain
Spaulding of the latter, had lines made fast
from one boat to the other, and by this
means the passengers and crew, with two
exceptions, were transferred from the Il-fat-
ed steamer to the Milwaukee, and conveyed
to this city, where they arrived at late
hour.

Ascent of Mount Hood.

A correspondent of the Springfield Mass
republican gives an account of the ascent
OF Mount Hood, Oregon, recently, by Pro-
lessor "A. Wood, and party of gentlemen.
1t would seem that Mount Hood is really a
volcano, and that it is the highest mountai n
in the United States-17, 90 feet high. He
says
"The summit area is of very limited d.
menslons-a crescent in shape half mile in
length, and from three to fifty feet in width
1t is fearful place, as it is the imminent
brow of a precipice on the north, sheer down
not less than vertical mile of bare column
mar rock. This height is lifted so far above
all other heights Except the four distant
snow clad peaks to the north, and Mount
Jefferson on the south) that the country be-
meath seemed depressed to a uniform level,
and the horizon retreated to distance of
more than two hundred miles, including
nearly all Oregon and Washington terrific
ries. The sublimity and grandeur of that
view | must leave to the reader. A canon
of enormous depth plunges down the south
east bank, and is filled in part by glacier
evidently Injunction, and having below a very
abrupt termination. Terminal and lateral
moraines mark its course and a torrent of
water issues from beneath. While We de-
layed here an avalanche of rocks, an i'm
mense mass, started by the wind, Numbered
down the left wall of the canon several thou
sand feet, and its track was marked by a
trail OF white smoke. On the west side of
the ancient crater, at the base of a vast
craggy pinnacle-of rocks "a portion of the
ancient rim of the crater,) is still an op en-
abyss, whence issue constantly volumes of
strongly sulphurous smoke. That there
is also neat there is evident from the i'm
mense depression of the snow about this
piace-depressed not less than one thousand
feet below the SHOWS which fill to the brim
other portions of the ancient crater"

The Erie Broad Gnaga Rnnte

We invite the special attention of our read
ers to the new Time Table of the Erie Railway
which appears in to-day's paper, and beg to
submit, for their consideration, the following
complimentary notice of that line extracted
from a recent number of the Chicago Railroad
Gazette
The Erie Railway is among the very fore
most of the best built, best stocked, best kept
up, and best managed roads in this country,
which is, we know, saying much. Whatever
may be the merits of the broad gauge railway
in an economical sense, the extra comfort it af-
fords to passengers is obvious. The impercep-
| tibly acquired fatigue and nervous restlessness
induced by extended travel, is chiefly occa-
stoned by being cramped up and compelled to
keep in one position. All American travellers
well know this Those likewise who have con-
trasted the relative comfort of narrow and
wide cars, can appreciate the immense advan-
tage offered by the broad gauge in this psrticu-
lar
The region of country which the Erie trav-
erses cannot be eXcelled for picturesque beau
ty, and in some places grandeur of scenery.
That model and miracle of bridge-ar architect
ure at Portage is alone worth a long journey
to see. Your eyes feast on the agricultural
perfection of western and interior New York !;
you are delighted with the romantic scenery Of
the upper Delaware and Susbuehanna valleys;
at frequent intervals you catch glimpses of the
tributaries of the Allegheny; you
glide swiftly through Patterson, Binghamton,
Owego, Elmira, Port Jervis, and other charm
ing cities and towns, and are conveyed at last
to the terminus of your pleasure trip, through
the heart of the dairy regions of New York and
New Jersey. Ofdining stations with abundant
time for meals there is no lack. You stop at
regular hours for breakfast, dinner and sup
per, at the very finest wayside hotels in this
or any other country.
Not only in the soijdity of its road bed and
the uniform excellence and smoothness of its
track, is the Erie Railway unsurpassed, but it's
rolling stock and splendid sleeping cars are in
keeping with its other perfect and costly APP
pointments. There are no haggard faces and
bleared eyes after nights ride, but iocund
spirits and the freshness of youth abound
More thorough gentlemen can nowhere be
found than the conductors on this popular
road. AS a route for families, invalids and
pleasure seekers it has no superior Let bulls
elevate, or clears depress Erie stock, so long
as its present good management continues, the
reputation of the ''broad gauge will maintain
its proud supremacy.

Congress-.

This body assemblies on Monday next
The assembling is' looked forward to with
interest by all and with no small degree Of
anxiety by many. The vexed question Of
reconstruction is in such state of uncer-
tainty that the most hopeful are anxious and
uneasy. The verdict of the people at the
late elections ought to settle the question in
favor of the Congressional plan, but there is
little probability that the President or
his advisers are ready or disposed to &C
knowledge the elections as the voice of the
people, or it they do, they are not willing to
yield their own plans and opinions to the
voice Of the people. The reports from Wash
ington as to the probable course of the ad-
ministration, are conflicting One day the
President is going to cut loose from the cop
perhsad democracy and adopt the Congress
sional measures, and the next day he is re.
ported as more bitter. hostile and determin-
ed against the constitutional amendment
than ever.
A few days will develope these matters
and do away with the necessity for conjec-
ture. 1t is very generally admitted that
with the Presidents endorsements sufficient
number of the southern States will adopt the
constitutional amendment to insure it's final
adoption as portion of the fundamental law
of the land
Another question that is assuming some
importance is that of the impeachment of
the President. 1t is asserted that promi-
nent member from Ohio has prepared arti-
Giles of Impeachment, and will present them
at an early day in the session. Copies of
the bill Of impeachment have been publish
ed throughout the country. Gen. Butler in
late speech in New York on the subject of
impeachment, shows concIusiveIy that the
President has laid himself liable to censure
in numerous instances, but whether the SEN
ate Of the United States would consider those
misd emeanors Of sufficient weight to warrant
removal by impeachment, is extremely
questionable. Altogether, it is certain that
this last session of the 39th Congress prom
ises to be one of the most important, if not
exciting, evet yet held.
We shall probably give our readers the
message next week.

off Racine was discovered to be on lire IN

cattle.
The Backus when the fire was discovered
1uas we'll in shore, and Capt. Shortell or
derad her head put for the beach. 1t was
found that the fire had made so much head
,,,av that it could not be checked, and the
Centain at once turned his attention to saw
inf those on board. There were nine pas
aenpers on board, besides the officers and
crew of the boat The cattle on deck were
at ouce thrown overheard, and easily sweep
to the shore.
A signal was made to the shore, and the
tug Daisy Lee, of Racine, went out to the
burning boat. After taking off the passen-
gers, an effort was made to scuttle the
Backus, but the fire had now made 80 great
progress this was impossible, and the boat
drifted ashore burning to the waters edge.
The vessel, cargo, and baggage of the pas
eengers and crew, will prove nearly a total
loss.
The Backus was owned by Messrs. Rice
Brothers of this city, and ran i'll the Green
Bay and Island trade She WIS built in
Canada in 1846, but has been rebuilt sew

there was an insurance of $4,000 in the

We learn this morning from one of the
fremen of the Backus who came up fro III
Racine last night, that the fire was discov
cred about nine O'Clock yesterday mornin g,
when the boat was about two miles off Ra.
cine When first discovered. the fire was
in the vicinity of the porter's room. Cap
tain Shortell got his hose upon the flames
but the water had no effect upon it, the fire
having got into the light wood work, and
spreading rapidly. Finding that nothing
could be done with the flames the boats
head was turned towards the beach, and a
yoke Of oxen aud span of horses on deck
were thrown overheard and swan to the
shore The two yawl boats were launched
and the passengers and crew took to these
There was considerable sea on at the time
but fortunately it was not running so high
as to endanger the lives of those in the boat
Beside the hay and cattle there were some
500 barrels of apples on the Backus, and
furniture belonging to family going tc
Green Bay. None of the passengers and
crew were able to save every tEing belonging
to them, but were landed in Racine in a
destitute condition.
AS soon as it was found that the boat
wOuld burn the Fl, es I1ndar tho hOiIars yuAra
raked, and steam let off, so that no danger
could occur from these.
The steam tug could not make fast to
the Backus, and the flames had spread too
rapidly to allow of her being scuttIed, so
she drifted ashore and burned until very
little was left of her-MjE. Wisconsin.
