Loss OF THE MORNING STAR.-THE
OFFICERS DESERT THE Drowning
PAssENG ERs.-One of the surviving pas
sengers of the steamer Morning Star,
which lately sunk in Lake Erie, publishes
in the Detroit papers the following state
ment, which, if true, shows serious and
criminal neglect on the part of the officers
and crew of that Inflated vessel:
Much seems to have been said in favor
of the active efforts made to save the
lives of passengers, but none worthy of
the occasion came to my knowledge 1t
may seem a severe charge to make, but
the facts will, | think, warrant it. For
Captain Viger and his first officers have
feelings of the highest regard, but that
the actual facts should be known I con-
slider better than any attempt to put a
false appearance on the matter. State
ments that | have seen say that it was
blowing heavily at the time, which was
not the case. The wind till just before
daylight was light, and the sea could not
be rolled heavy, but more Of swell than
otherwise. speak Of this to show there
was no difficulty in launching or loading
the boats. But two of the boats were
lowered away, one of the forward life
boats and the fore-quarter boat, the latter
hanging by the falls until about the time
the steamer was sinking, but one left the
steamer with ten or twelve persons. The
mates and the crew composed their cargo.
One life boat on the hurricane roof was
filled by the steward and fourteen of the
crew and passengers.
Another life boat remained on the roof
which was launched after daylight. /
was with my wife, and among the ladies
and children collected in Tie after cabin,
and know no order or request was made
in regard to taking to the boats, nor did l
know at that time that any had been
launched. Does it not seem reasonable
that if any request of that kind had been
made, women and children would have
gladly awaited themselves of the opportu-
nityf Capt. Viger passed through the
cabin perhaps four minutes before the
boat went down. Standing before my
wife, said, Captain, is this bad jobr'
His reply was, | am afraid so; you had
better prepare for any emergency Does
that look like srging women and children
into the boats 7 The whole truth of the
matter summed up is this; that the boats
lowered were filed at once by the crew,
which, instead of remaining and filling
up to their carrying capacity, pnlled away
towards shore, and when daylight came
were miles away That the crew could
not have been prevented from jumping
into the boats l do not pretend to know
or say, but that any attempt to load them
with the ladies and children was made l
do positively deny. | think no one pres
ent could place the estimate of the women
and children at less than fifteen, and the
fact that but two escaped, and they by
their individual exertions, seems to me to
tell the whole story. leave the case as
it is, sadly enough for me, but not wishing
that my protest against false statements
should not be heard.

The preparations for the event were quite
extensive, though the crowd in attend

village Of North Londonderry as early
as sunrise, and the living stream pouring
constantly in. by noon probably more
people were assembled there than was
ever previously been congregated sn the
town, from its settlement to the present
time. and though we have seen larger as
semblagcs on similar occasions, we do not
think we ever witnessed such crowd
considering the size of the place, as that
on Saturday last at Londonderry.
The celebration was of the old-fash.
Toned pattern, and brought to our recol.
lection the time when procession, ora.
ton, fireworks, &c., constituted the pro.
ceedings incident to the anniversary Of
the nations birth. Day-break and sun.

and firing of cannon, and at nine o'clock

THE FIREMEN's MUSTER AT ST. AL
BANs.-The fremen's muster at St AL
bans on the fourth, was decided failure,
as, indeed, we judged it would be, from
the amount OF money offered as prizes.
One hundred dollars in these times OF
inflated currency is not much of pre-
MUM for a fire company, when it would
cost more than three times that amount
to get company to the place Of the tour
nament and home, from say distance of
one hundred miles. We learn that but
one machine contended for the honors, the

took the first prize of 800 without a
contest. A friendly trial, however, took
place between the following companies,

man of fine talents courteous manners
and genial disposition. He early had a
love for the sea, and on receiving an APP
pointment to a cadetship entered the
Naval Academy in 1861, graduating in
1863, seventh i'll II class of sixty. In the
fail Of 1866 he was attached to the t. s.

Squadron. While stationed at Moee

soon affecting his lungs, he obtained leave

Since reaching home he has steadily
grown worse, and that insidious disease,
consumption, has at last brought him to
his end.
Ensign Griswold had high reputation
