NIGHT ON THE wRECh.
The three men on the wreck were in
bad condition. They were wet
through and through, and the night
was as cold as Greehland's icy noun
tains. 1t froze hard, and their gar
ments were as stiff as iron. Captain
Crawford took off his pants and draw

not improve them much. They stood
in a line and clapped each others

o'clock even that ray of comfort went
out. They spent the remainder of the

A Terrible Wreck Appalling In
giuSnIs

The loss Of the schooner Arrow and
her entire crew, thirteen miles from
Chicago, in the recent great storm, has
been noted. The details reach us in
the Chicago papers. A tug went to
the rescue Of the poor creatures in the
wreck. The tug was but quarter of
q mile from the wreck, well to the
windward, so that the boat had little
difficulty in floating down before the
sea. The yawl behaved well. In
twenty minutes they were alongside
the wreck, on the port side. Some
on the wreck yelled to them to 90
round 10 the lceward, when they pulled
round. The surf was awful; Mr.
Evans. said It was what he called "a
dead beat of surf" A line was cast
on board the ship, and in less time
than II can be told the crew were in
the boat. They were not in it long
less than n minute perhaps. The
word was given, and the men were
about to give way, when a huge "com-
Der" raised the bow Of the boat, tip
ped II over backwards and spilled the
human contents into the water. The
crew of the Arrow were never seen
again Benumod with cold and weak
from starvation thoy were incapable of
making mn effort TO save themselves.
They sunk like so many stones,

PROTEST..

On the 21th of August, 1869, there
was held in the city of Nashville n
meeting of Republicans from different
parts of Tennessee, Hon, John Trimble
presiding: and among other proceed
ings committee was appointed, con-
sisting of one from each Congressional
District to prepare for publication

Nv the operation OF the Rebellion, Republ-
can government was oycrtlrown in Tennessee,
both in fact aud in contemplation OF law. There
was no civil government. Early in 1865, the
Union people with the sanction and under the
direction of Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States took steps to rcorganize govern
mcnt, inviting every white man in the State
to participate, Among other things, they pro-
yided that tho Legislature first to assemble un-
der the restored government should have power
40 regulate the elective franchise aud 10 limit
the qualification OF voters. This was dono NO
as TO confer the right OF suffrage upon every
man who had participated in the restoration OF
the government and upon all who were friendly

Iorganc law ofthc State and beyond Legislative
control. II Ia difficult to perceive upon what
principle the suffrage could have been extended
further.

All the stories told Of the Siamese twips
hardly equal this of the famous Scotch
double man, OF whom the following account
is given in the Rernn Scotiarum Historic:
During the Reign of James the Third. OF
Scotland, and at his court, there lived a
man double above the waist, single below
that region. The King caused him to be
carefully brought up. He rapidly acquired
knowledge Of music. The two
heads learned several languages; they de-
bated together, and the two upper halves
occasionally fought They lived generally.
however, in the greatest harmony. When
tho lower part of the body was tickled, the
two individuals felt it together; but when,
on the other hand, one Of the upper individ
uals was touched, he alone felt the effect.
This monstrous being died at the age of
twenty-eight years. One of the bodies died
several days before the other.

WHAT THEY DESERVE. repre-
sentatives OF the delegation which visited
Petroleum Centre on Saturday and Sunday
night last, alluded to in another place,
were in Fishers drug store on Sunday night
using the most profane language, when they
were informed by the manager OF the store,
Mr.. De Vinney, that such language could
not be tolerated in his store, when they
made a iush for him, bruising him quite
severely. They suddenly left the vicinity
Of "Oshkosh, however, doubtless thinking
it might be too warm for them in short
space of time. Such loafers and disturbers
Of the peace deserve the most severe punish
ment the law can give, and a little of old

know when they will honor our town with
a visit again, but when they do, they should
meet with warm reception.

DARING RoppsHY. The New York Eve

DARING RopBsRY. The New York Eve
ming Post of Thursday says: One OF the
most daring robberies ever reported in this
city took place about half past seven
o'clock this morning in East Twenty-iourth
street, near Third avenue. Mr. Charles
Simonson, q clerk employed In the Treasnr'
er's office of the Harlem railroad, had just
left the Fifth National Bank in Third ave-
nue., carrying in his hand leather satchei
contrasting nine thousand dollars, when he
was BET upon by four daring thieves, who
sprang from hatcher cart, having evident-
ly been mating for their victim. The vii
lains knocked Mr.. Simonson down, one or
two of them using brass knuckles, and not
withstanding he cluug teuaciously to his
bag, it was wrested from his grasp, the
thieves meanwhile pounding their prostrate
victim most numerically. Having secured
their prizo the three men leaped into tn 9
cart and drove at full speed down Third
avenue. The fourth, Thomas Hart, ran
after the cart, but their capture seemed i'm
minent, as large number of persons wit
messed the closiog part of the daring out
rage, and they would not wait for him.
Hart was seized by au Eighteenth ward
officer, and recognized as one of the most
dangerous thieves on the east side Of. the
city. 1t is reported tina. he has several
times been engaged in similar daring rob
berries. The men in the cart succeeded in
making their escape with the money, and
the apathy shown by some of the police of
the Eighteenth ward was severely comment
ed upon by citizens who saw the transaction
and joined in the unsuccessful pursuit of
the villains.

SOME CALP.-We were shown this morn
ing nice specimen Of meat from the New

beauty. The calf was four months old,
weighed four hundred pounds, and was
raised in Chatauqua county, New York.
The new market is becoming celebrated for
its splendid specimens of meat, and its va
riety, and the proprietors are deserving OF
patronage.

PARKER's LANDING The .larion Demo-
crdt of the 25th inst. says:
The excitement at Parker's Landing con-
tinues to increase, aud new wells are begun
daily. If land owners in that aud all other
new territory would lease on sneh terms as
would require all wells to be cased, and on
ly allow one well on each four or five acres,
then it might he reasonably expected that
itwould take several years to exhaust the
oil. But with derricks almost Us close to-
gether as trees in the forest, and 10 casing
in the wells, few months will leave the
