City Of Boston Supposed TO be
Lost Ia o EEuIricane.

Capt. Blumer, of the Helene Marion,
who arrived at Spilhead in distress,
from New York, for Antwerp, states
that he left New York on the same
day as the steamer City Of Boston.
On the night of the 29Lh of January
he met with a hurricane from S. Z
to S. W, which, while he hove to,
took away his fore top mast and iib-
boom, although he had no sail set at
the time, and his new sails were taken
completely out of the gasket and
blown away. He believes the City Of
Boston must have been in the same
hurricanes. 81.
A writer of a letter from Halifax
says: "Tho City of Boston, which
sailed hence on the 28lh of January
last, has not yet arrived in Liverpool
There is great anxiety felt here for hel
safety, more especially as there are Sc
many Of our merchants on board
She vas deeply laden with wheat il
bags, being eighteen or twenty inches
deeper than the insurance allows
She sailed from here on Friday noon
and we had a fearful snow storm oI
the following Saturday night. If sh,
encountered this, there is no hop
whatever of her turning up. l be
lieve she was in it, as the Orontes
which sailed from here two days be
fore, was caught in it off Newfound
land, and nearly went down"

Working as an ordinary hand in q
Philadelphia .ship-yard, until within
a few years, was a man named John
l.. Knowllon. His peculiarity was,
that while others of his class were at
the ale houses, or indnlging. in jollif-
cation, he was necessarily engaged in
studying upon mathematical combi'
nations. One of his companions Sc,
cured a poodIe-dog, and spent six
months in teaching the quadruped to
execute jig upon his hind legs
Knowlton spent lh3 same period in
discovering some method by which
he could saw out ship-timber in beVel
ed form.
The first man taught his dog tc
dance-Kuowlton, in the same time
discovered a mechanical combination
that enabled him to do in two hours
the work that would occupy a dozer
men, by slow and laborious process
an entire day. That saw is now il
use in all ship-yards of the country
1t cuts a beam to a curved shape al
quickly as an ordinary saw-mill saw
rips up plank.
Knowlton continued his expert
ments. He took no part in parade
or target-shootings, and in a shor
time afterward he secured a paten
for a machine that turns any materia
whatever into a perfectly spherica
form. lie sold a portion of his pat
ent for sum that is equivalent to (
fortune. The machine was used fo
cleaning off cannon balls for the Gov
ernment.
When the ball comes from th,
mold the surface is crusLed, and tht
ordinary process of smoothing it wa
slow and wearisome. This machine
almost in an instant, and with math
ematical accuracy, peels it to the sur
face Of the metal, at the same tim,
smoothing out any deviations from
the perfect spheroidal form.
The same unassuming man has in
vented a boring-machine, that wa
tested in the presence ofa number Q
scientific gentlemen. 1t bored, a
the rate of twenty-five inches an hOul
through a block of granite, with
pressure of but three hundred pound
upon the drill. A gentleman presen
offered him ten thousand dollars upo
the spot for part interest in the in
vention, in Europe, and the offer wa
then accepted.
The moral of all this is, that tn
people who keep on studying are sur
lto achieve something. knOwltO

means brillian but if once inspire

A Little Girl Torn TO Pieces by
Dogs.

Thursday afternoon a little girl,
daughter Of Jacob Miller, residing near
Osborn, Green county, was sent on an
errand to the house of a neighbor
named Robert Ktrkwood, and upOH
entering the yard was set upon by a
couple of vicious dogs; she was seized
by the atrocious brutes, thrown to the
ground and literally torn from limb
to limb. The cries of the little girl at.
tracted the attention of Mr. Kirkwood
who hastened to her rescue, but not
until she had been 50 lacerated and
torn that she died during the night in
the most intense agony. All in all
this is one of the most heartrendins
calamities which we have been calico
upon to chronicle for many day.

A GOOD story is told of a certain
prominent railroad gentleman of the
city of Philadelphia, who is equally
renowned for his ability to give and
receive a joke.
A railroad employee, whose home
is in Avon, came on Saturday night
to ask for a pass down to visit his fam

"You are in the employ of the rail
road ?" inquired the gentleman allu-
ded to.
"Yes."

"Well, now suppose you were work

would you expect your employer to
hitch up his team every Saturday
night and carry you home ?''
This seemed a poser, but it wasn't.
"No,p said he promptly, 81 would
not expect that, but if the farmer had
his team hitehed up, and was going
my way, I should call him darned
mean cuss if he wouldn't let me ride

"How are my boys ?" was his first
question; "let me see them.p
"Stay awhile said his wife; II am

me some jewels. l took great care of
them. and at last began to prize them
