OBITUARY.

In the death Of Mrs. ELVIRA LECKIE
who departed this life, on the End inst, IN
the City Of New Orleans, we mourn one d
Rapides' earliest and worthiest settlers.
She came from New England her birth
place, to Alexandra at the early are Of
sixteen and there resided until within The
past eight orten years and vas one Of the
most efficient and prominent ladies Ii the
formation Of our early society. The soul Of
hospitality and kindness her doors were
ever open all entered there rich and moor.
Admittance required only Upright moral
conduct, slightest deviation from which
would cause her usually mind, indulgent
eye to fash with an indignation few could
stand. The young were the particular OBJ
jects Of her interest and care, her home Their
general rendezvous where mirth and in
nocent gayety were promoted, encouraged
and cultivated. Truth, her prominent yir-
tire was. visible in every action, One
whose privilege it was to be admitted to
her intimacy can not. give q more, correct
portrait OF her than that giyetf in THE bible,
"A virtnous woman whose price was
paid abote rubies."
She leaves q large family and Numerous
friends, whose consolation is that she is
now in the enjoyment Of the reward given
to virtue. A FRIEND
DIED On Tuesday, the 9Th inst, in the
24th year Of her age, JUDITH HYAMS,

~ The following thrilling account
Of the frenzy and agony of the passen-
gers on the affiliated Evening Star, we
copy from the New York Herald:
The wind was fast becoming gale,
the gale hurricane. The ship reeled
from side to side q drunken man At
times she lay completely on>bea61 ends
in the trough of the sea. Then the
screams and the cries were appalling.
Families gathered in separate groups,
and chung in the agony Of terror to each
other. Trunks were ransacked. What
ever was most priced or needed was
hastily put together. Some tried to
pray. Many of the men showed less
eousage than the women. They be-
saWe, some frantic, some naudlin.
Here and there We're brave hearts and
cool heads that would 60 out and assist
II they could, and would send back the
most assuring messages possible. Others
were betting gold around their waists,
which proved only quicker weighing
towards the depths Of the sea. Now
and then a cross-wave would come
Which would veer the vessel almost
round and round, she the while side
wise on her beam ends.
Ere long, window after window would

occupants Of the cabin would become
drenehed through and through. Cold,
vet, hopeless, hungry, in darkness, be-
yond the dim flicker of the occasional
covered lanterns here and theirs carried,
the confusion was indescribabIe, the
agony terrific, the fright terrible.
Every one questioned him or her next
What he or she thought. Strangers be-
came friends and co-laborers from the
supreme necessity Of peril. Women
iell down in Mysteries children, too
young to appreciate the position,
scrambled in the darkness after their
parents, and cried franticaly. Here

IL ss5t T :
THE LONDON DAILY PApERs.-The Lon
don correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
who has been making researches among
the daily newspapers Of the great, city,
gives some interesting statistics on the
subject. Of the Times. be says: Il am
informed that its circulation, morning and
evening, is about $4,000, and that its net
profits last year we're not far from ESQ. 900,
$250,0O0." The most popular paper in
England, owing to its cheapness and its
powerful advocacy Of the Reform question,
is the London Telegraph. It's a morning
paper only, and its circulation ranges from
$4,000 to 100000 daily, aid its profits
last year were within a fraction of $780,
O0e. The STANDARD cheap paper, some
what similar to the last mentioned, cir
culates in its morning and evening editions
about 900 copies, yielding a profit last
year Of not far from $4,000. The Her
aid, the old Tory organ, has circulation
of 900 which pays, however, about &c.,
900 profits. The Morning Advertiser, the
yictualers paper has a circulation Of 81; zoe,
and cleared last year $4,000. The Morn
ing Post, the aristocratic organ, circulates
even less than the Herald, and pays about
the same. The Daily News, so favorably
known here for its opposition to the Re-
bellion, gets credit in well informed circles,
for circulation Of 1000, and for yearly
net profit of $4,000. The Star, John
Bright's organ, in. which he Is an owner,
and sometimes q contributor, has > merh-
ing and evening edition. and circdlates
abott $4,000 copies DAILY, and tie stock
holders Of the Star property divided among
their ownselyes, on the FIRST Of last January,
little more than $4,000.
