TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON THE SAVAN>
NAH RIvER.-The Savannah Nei0S of
the 2Sth ult. gives the details of hearts
rending calamity on the Savannah River,
about seven miles from that city. 1t
seems that a party of eight negro men
embarked on a crazy old slOop, heavily
laden with rice, on the 9th ult, during
a heavy gale and started for Savannah,
The water was very rough and, when at
the above mentioned distance from the
city, the boat was lifted up by great
wave, and when descending to meet the
next, the shock appeared TO break her in
half and she sunk, carrying down all or
board to a watery grave.

One of the most delicate witticisms

One of the most delicate witticisms,
uttered by Rossini on his death bed, is
the following. 1t is characteristic Of the
affectiOnate relations prevailing between
him and his wife: What is the difference
between you and clock?' said the sick
maestro to his faithful wife and nurse,
when she had just told him what time it
was; and as Madame Rossini said she
was unable to solve the riddle, her hus-
band told her the solution: "The clock
indicates the hours to me, and you cause
me to forget them" Certainly mot Of
which every tender bridegroom might be
proud. 81

A WRITER in the atlantic Monthly,
gives some startling evidence TO prove
that consumption is mainly caused by the
dampness surrounding the abodes Of
those attacked by the disease lie says
that extended and repeated observations
in Massachusetts, show that, other things
being equal, consumption among the peo~
pie is in direct proportion with the mOis>
tore of the localities where they live. He
thinks that consumption is in no ordinary
sense hereditary disease, and believes
that with proper precautions in building
houses in dry places, and in draining wet
places where houses are already built,
this terrible disease may be robbed Of full
one third of its victims at once, and may
be eTentnslly banished from among men
entirely.

THE New York Christian Advocate

trampliDg upon the Constitution o
the Church. DR.. Curry, the editor 0
the Advocate has been one of thu
most violent opponents of Lay Dele
CATION, since the movement in it
favor was first iuaugurated. w
think his fears Of a church revolution
are not well founded. A large ma
jority of the ministers and member
Of the Church are in favor Of La.
Delegation, and it is not probabl
that a factious minority will be allow
ed to thwart their wishes, Or that the
will violate the Constitution of thei
Church in carrying out the wishes o
its members.
