THE OHIO DISASTER.
Recovery of Two Here BOdies-An Ap.
paiing Incident.


Two bodies, or parts of bodies, were taken
from the hull of the United states on Sunday
afternoon. One OF them was that of msu
having the picture of an eagle on the left arm
below the elbow. The eagle is spread across
the arm, instead OF length wise, as is usually the
case. The other was portion of body, and
was terribly burned and dls6gared. IL wac i'm
possible to tell even whether the remains were
those of man or woman,
In this connection, the folio wing incident
OF that appalling disaster, taken from the
Evansville Journal, will be read with painful
interest:-
From Captain Dick Fowler we learn the
following thrilling lncldent:-Seeing a mother
and daughter about TO leap into the river as
the stern of the boat was swinging towards the
shore, he restrained their impetuosity until the
stern OF the boat had swung near the shore.
Each had a life-I reserver properly arranged.
He bade them both leap into the river, which
they did, and just as he was about to folio v
their example, woman rushed out OF the
cabin upon the guard, when, seeing him, she
appeared to become terrified, aud rushed
into q stateToom. Thinking that he might be
able 10 save her, he rushed to the stateroom
door aud called TO her, saying that il she would
come quickly he could save her. The room was
tull OF smoke, and ne could zee nothing. He
called her the second time, but received no re.
sponse, when the thickening smoke aud ap.
preaching fame drove him overheard. The
Terrified woman was lost. When he reached
the shore he found mather and daughter cling
ing to the willows, more dead than alive. They
wcIe helped out and saved. This was one Of
many appalling incidents of the disaster.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.

H'Fanchetae" at the Theatre COmique'
Last evening the Susan Galton English Comic
pera Company made their FIRST appearance
before Phsladelphia audience at the Theatre
OOmique, on Seventh street This cozy and
comfortable establishment was well filled, and
the audience was q fine and appreciative one.
Previous to the operetta, the old farce OF a Phe-
,oyneron IN Smock Rfock was given by the
Cation Troupe In as creditable manner as the
nnssterlal would admit Of Then came Levy's
rcrnic opera of Fdnchepe, in which Miss Susan
,salton, Miss Blanche Cation, and Mr.. Thomas
Within appeared In the principal parts
Miss Susan Galton displayed very
oreditable amount OF both vocal and
bistrionic capacity in her lively per-
sopation OF "Fanchette." She acted the part
With an agreeable ndiUete, and sang several
solos. among them, "Comin' thro' the Rye" as
an encore with much acceptance. She has
clear sweet voice, which she manages with
much skill and force Mr.. Whiffin, likewise, ac'
quilted himself in a very acceptable manner.
Taken altogether, the performance appeared TO
delight the audience not a little, and at times
the house was fairly convulsed with laughter.

The Case of the BIoekade-Runner Wren


The Washington tDec. 2l) correspondence OF
the Boston journal says:-
The steamer Wren was unquestionably built
by Laird Co. for the Confederate Government
and ran the blockade into Galveston with a
cargo. She took a freight OF cotton from CAL
weston to Havana, and on her way from there
to Halifax for another cargo her crew rose on
the officers in June, 1865, and carried her into
Key West, where she was libelled and con-
demned. An appeal was taken by Laird 4 Co.,
claiming to be her owners, and the Supreme
Court here ordered the steamers release on the
ground that, although she might have been
engaged in bockade.running, she was not so
engaged when captured by her crew.
Just then General Caleb Cushing
libelled the proceeds Of the steamers
sales, which were in the Treasury for the benefit
OF the United States, under the advice OF the
Treasury Department, as the property Of the
Confederate States; and in case it should be
held to be the property OF Laird IL Co., General
Cushing also lbelled 1t IN behalf of the owners
of New buryport ship destroyed by the Ala
bama, which Laird IL Co. had fitted out, on the
ground that they were, therefore, responsible
for the damages which she had caused. This
suit was defended by Foster and Thompson,
lawyers in New York, who had intimate profes.
Bional relations with Attorney General Eyarts
and IL 10 now rumored that upon their applica.
tion the Attorney General has ordered the
release of the proceeds of the steamer without
trial. Hence the resolution presented by Mr..
Morrill, IN the Senate OF the United States,

A HOLIDAY JINGLE.

IT'S Holiday Time,
And we'll sing our rhyme
AS the merry bells chime
On the frosty air.
And we'n sing with glee
OF the sights we see;
Clothes for you and me,
Just the things to wear.
Good old Jack Frost,
We know to our cost,
Our path hath crossed,
And he freezes our nose.
No matter, old jack,
For your frosty track;
Well put on our back
Some good warm CLOTHES.
Oh ! GREAT BROWN HALL
Both short folks and tall
May joyfully call
For the clothes they need
From miles and miles
To the stately piles
Of magnificent styles,
Folks all proceed.
'Tis holiday joy
To take your boy,
And let him enjoy
THB GREAT BROWN HALL,
And see the child
With delight grow wild
At the garments piled
For good boys all.
'Tis an excellent plan
For the grown-up man,
Whenever he can,
To give us call,
And notice the price
OF the goods so nice
For the frost and ice,
At the GREAT BROWN HALL.
gsS-W We're going to take stock
gzS"So we gave knock

standing near the door, some hardened
sinner and utterly depraved thief stole
them and drove OF. It is reported that
he was seen driving at brisk rate on the

he was not on the road to heaven, and
the probability is that he will briRg up
at the penitentiary.
