DISAPPEARANCE OF AN IsLASD.-A large
island is missing, Captain Plock, of the
bark Adolphe, bound from Iquique to
London, states that while passing the New
Hebrides islands he discovered that Aurora
island had entirely disappeared, and no
trace Of it was to be scen on the face Of the
ocean where it was before situated. What
makes this occurrence more deplorable,
says the Pail Mall Gazette, is that Aurora
was one of the most fertile of the group
of islands which it formed a member.
1t was last seen in latitude 1872 g,
longitude 1925 L. 1t is described as
having been about thirty-siX miles in
Length and upward OF five miles in
breadth. Any Information respecting it
will be thankfully received, and 1t becomes
q question whether reward should not be
offered for its recovery. If large islands
take TO disappearing in this fashion, VIC shall
soon cease to congratulate ourselves on our
"iusular position" There is, however,
this consolation-that if England were to
disappear like Aurora Island, there would,
no doubt, be rlgid investigation made into
the circumstances by the rest of the world.
France would miss q useful depot for her
refugees; ireland would suffer from ennui
with no one to abuse !; and we may be sure
that, unless we had previously settled the
Alabama claims, America would never rest
until she had fished us up again.

ANOTHER New TRICK.-0n Tuesday a
well-dressed, elderly, and gentlemanly y-ap-
pearing person called at the jewelry store
OF Mr. Henderson, on Sth avenue, and pur-
chased 4 few trlf1ing articles, for which he
paid. He then looked at several other ar
ticles Of jewelry, and made pretty deliber-
ate examination, during which time he
went frequently to the door and cried
"Whoa ! to horse attached to a buggy
wagon in front Of the store. After great
deal of bantering in regard to handsome
set of jewelry and q valuable diamond ring,
he closed the trade, and they were put up
in a parcel. He drew from his pocket a
handsome Turkey morocco wallet,
which be opened, and its appearance
indicated that it was we'll filled
with ereenbacks. He had placed the
parcel OF jewelry and the diamond ring
in his pocket, and was about to draw out
the bills from his wallet when he imagined
he heard his horse moving, and started for
the door crying "Whoal whoa !" leaving
his wallet on The showcase. SuppoSing as
matter OF course that he had gone to look
after his horse, no curiosity was excited.
Finally it occurred to the clerk that his
customer was a long time in returning. He
went to the door, and on looking up
and down the avenue could see nothing of
him. Consoling himself that the well-tlled
pocket-book was there he opened it, and
to his CONSERVATION found the contents to
he worthless bills. The property stolen WAS
valued at $225.-NeU York Commercial

The COLD SSAP-Detentlon Of Mails and
PdSSengerS.-lh he weather on Friday night
and saturday was about as cold as we often
enjoy I'D this locality. IN Saturday morning
the mercury stood at 60 above zero. The low
est point it reached last December was on
the 4th, when it was at go above zero. The
lowest point reached during that winter
was 19o. SO that the temperature on Sat-
urday was 13o colder than we had it at any
time in the winter of 1S69-70. The river
was covered with thin sheet of ice, which
did not yield to the SUMS rays until neatly
noon.
The cold weather and high winds caused
a delay of the mails and much ANNOYANCE to
travellers. The steamer Vanderbilt, which
left Acquia creek ut O'Clock on Friday
evening, did not arrive at W Washington until
IL o'clrck the next morning, missing the
northern connection. The lrOnSides was
lying high and dry ut Washington on ac-
count of the high winds driving the wafer
out. The passengers and mail South Tor
Richmond were to have been transferred to
the orange and Alexandria railroad at
Alexandria, but the mail failed to come
through. Owing to the large number of
passengers and weighty express the Chesa-
peake and Ohio train did not arrive here
until O'Clock P. NJ.
The officers Of the City Water Works
state that the thermometer was lower here
Oh Saturday morning than 1t has been since
the winter of 1S57-'56. At Staunton the
mercury was only 80 above zero, and ice
Was formed eight inches thick. At White
Sulphur the temperature Was 60 below
zero.

BRET HART's "HEATHEN CH1NEE."-
from the Sun. IA correspondent inquiries
whether Mr.. Nye, the Nevada Senator, is
the nill Nye who was taken in and done for
by a heather Chinee, as described by Bret
Uarte in his well-known poem. BY the
way, our friend insists that the poem has
been misunderstood and badly garbled by
some stupid printer. John Chlnaman is
represented in the current version of the
story as having secrered twenty-four packs
of cards in his sleeve. This is absurd, be-
game was euchre, in which the knave is
the best card in the pack. Hart wrote
lacks, and the thing might have been done ;
a sleeve full of jacks, skilfully handled,
would have insured the discontinue Of
Bill Nye, and flied the pocket OF the heath
en- Chinee. But the Nevada Senator is not
the man at all. His name is Jim Nye, and
the pagan who picks him up in the hope of
winning his money is likely to make bad
business of it. In the good old Barnburner
DAYS, when John Van Buren, split the Dem
ocratic party in twain, and defeated Gen-
eral Cas-, Nye, at that time Judge OF Mao
ison county and warm sympathlzer Win
Van Buren,, laid a wager or three hundred
dollars that the Barnburner electoral ticket
would receive more votes in thee unity than
the bunker. As election day approached
the Judge, having made careful canvass,
discovered that it was close thing, and be-
came alarmed about the result. The sum at
stake was large amount for Nye in those,
days, and he cast about for the means OF
winning his bet. at the September term OF
his court two men were indicted tor an OF
fence in which they bad been jointly ell
gagged. They were convicted, and one of
them, barn-burner, was sentenced to
twenty days imprisonment, while the
other, bunker, was ordered to be shut up
for thirty days. AS the sheriff was taking
man exclaimed "Ten days extra TOR being
a Hunker! and it carries nae over the cleo
tom "That's so," replied the sheriff ;
"and, curse you, what business have you
to be Hunker?" Nyewon his bet by two
votes: and our friend inquiries whether a
man of such resources would be likely to
lose his money through the tricks of any
heather Chinee?

TIL e NEW TERMINUS FOR A BALLOON
TouR.-A private letter from Christiana,
received in London, gives some details con-
cerning the French balloon which fell in
Norway. 1t appears that the balloon was
sent up from Paris on the morning of the
oath. The wind carried it in a northerly
direction with such rapidity that it soon
passed over the North sea, without the occu-
pants OF the car knowing where they were.
hen, however, they found themselves
dangerously closeto the sea they sent off q
carrier pigeon with message. that tbeg
thought themselves lost, at the same time
throwing out ballast. Ultimately the bal
loon reached Norway, and when over Man.
dal. small town on the southern coast,
twenty-rhree miles west-southwest Of
Christainsand, sack of letters and news
papers were thrown out, which fell among
the astonished inhabitants, who were watch
ing the balloon pass over their heads. After
having been many hours in the balloon,
, the 1ronauts, whose names are not given,
descended several miles further north, on
snow-covered mountain, as best they could,
and without even knowing in what country
they We're, there being no habitations near.
For nineteen hours they wandered about
! in the snow in light boots, which latter had
to be cut off, SO saturated had they be-
come. In the meantime the balloon was
discovered by some of the natives. The
aronauts were not TO be seen, but the re-
! mains of meat. bread, and wine in the Gag
showed plainly enough that it had recently
contained passengers. Six carrier pigeons
were also found In it, seemingly none the
worse for the journey. Eventually the voy-
ayers reached one of the small cabins which
are to be seen at wide intervals among the
mountains, which give shelter to those
who look after cattle, and where an aged
and poor woman gave them some food.
They then discovered, by seeing upon 6
matchbox the word "Christiana," that
they were in Norway, and made the wo-
man understand as well as they could that
they desired to proceed to the town. They
were then shown the way to farmers
house, where they received the attention
Of which they stood so much in need, as
well as dry clothes and shoes. The news
of the arrival of the balloon passengers did
not reach Christiana Till Sunday, the 9th
ult. Un the evening of the 28th thousands
OF people went to meet them on their entry
into Christana, and gave them a cordial
reception. They were feasted in Christi
ana that night, and on the following day
were to start for Tours Uia London.

WHAT THE LEGISLATURE HAS DoNE.-The
General Assembly, during the fragment OF
session before the holidays, did good
work. About thirty bills were passed.
That so many were promptly brought to
the notice of the Governor was owing in no
small degree to the faithful labors OF the
enrolling committees, of which Mr. Loven-
stein, of Richmond, is the chairman and the
working member. ! he Speaker OF the House
publicly acknowledged this fact few days
before the adjournment. By the way, II is
commonly remarked that the Legislature
accomplshes little. The large volume Of
Acts of Assembly. session of 1s69-70. tells
different tale. The size of the book and
the number of acts are equally astonishing
