GFrom the Halifax Recorder, July 2O.l
This afternoon one ofthe most painful and mel-
anch0ly accidents that we have ever had to chrona
icle, involving the death Of three persons, occurs
O'Connor, dry goods merchant Of Upper Water
street, accompanied by his wife, to whom no has
been married only few months, two of his sisters
Misses Theresa and Margaret, Miss Catharins
Butler and his youngest brother, who Is named!
Martin, started to take pleasure sail in Mr. Sut-
toms boat, the Charlie-0ne of the competitors in
the regatta on the 2lst ult
.. They proceeded down very pleasantly with
the wind ahead, till about half way between,
their starsng point and Georges Island, when
they being on the same tack with the brigan-
tine p, Chieftan, belonging to Messrs. N. L. & j..
Malaga In ballast. The two crafts were very near
each other and both tackled at the same time, but
the Cheftain recovered her Roadway sooner than
the Charlie and thus az the latter was lying near-
y still the brigantine bore down on her. cutting
her in two amidshps and turning her over Sew
era boats at once made for the scene to endeavor
to rescue those who had thus been thrown into
the water. The Chieftain lowered boat and 9,
commlssary boat from Georges Island was manned
by number Of artillerymen who were by and
put OIL toward them, and Mr. Samuel Noble, who
was sailing In the vicinity, also assisted in the eff
forts to save life. Mr. Pagan, seaman on board
the Chieftain, jumped overheard and supported
Mrs. O'Connor until the ships boat was lowered.
She was taken to the residence Of Mr.. Fagana
sister In Darlington street, and was for long time
unconscious, but was finally brought to. Mr..
Mobiles boat saved Miss Butler, and the COM
missary boat saved Miss Theresa O'Connor,
who were both conveyed to Hare's wharf in
the latter boat, while Mr.. Noble remained cruising
about for some time to see If any OF the other late
occupants Of the Charlie would rise In view None,
however, did, and after patiently searching for
nearly two hours he was forced to conclude that
the others were drowned. The three that were
saved were kept aaoat by their crinoline, which
was inflated with air and thus prevented their
sinking The unfortunate ones that were drowned
were Mr.. James OConnor, aged about thirty
three wears; Master Martin O'Conn r, aged
about fifteen, and Miss Margaret O'Connor, aged
about eighteen or nineteen. Thousands of our
citizens will heartily extend their deepest SYM
pathy with the family that has thus lost three Of
#, members at one sad stroke, and to the poor
Young widow who has had snatched from her
husband ere the honeymoon was fairly over.
The bodies of the missing persons have not as
vet been found, but q mans straw hat, q coat,
handkerchief and girls straw hat have been
picked up.

DIGESTION AND PARADISE

All! talk of blessings! What bles-
sing is digestion To digest Do you
know what it means? 1t is to have the
sun always shining, and the shade al
ways ready for you. 1t is to be met with
smiles, and to be greeted with kisses. 1t
is to hear sweet sounds and to sleep
with sweet dreams, to be touched ever
by gentle, soft, cool hands. It is to be
in Paradise. Adam and Eve were in
Paradise. Why? Their digestion was
good. All then they look liberties, ate
bad fruit-things they could not digest.
They what we call ruined their consti-
tutions, destroyed their gastric Juices,
and then they were expelled from Para
disc by an angel with a flaming sword.
The angel with the flaming sword which
turned two ways, was indigestion. There
came a great indigestion upon the earth
because the cooks were bad, and they
called it deluge. All? thank God
there are to be no more deluges-all the
evil comes from this. Macbeth could
not sleep. 1t was the supper not the
murder. His wife talked and walked.
Ii was the supper again. Milton had a
| bad digestion because he was always so
cross ; and your Carlyle must have the
worst digestion in the world, because he
never says any good of anything. All
to digest is to be happy. Believe me, my
| friends, there is no other way not to be
turned out of Paradise by fiery two
handed, turning sword Ib0HoPe.

GEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES.
Great Bed of Travertfn-The AugI0ize
County IRstOdOm,


Mr.. John H. KIippart has Just return
ed from a geological exploration in Erie
and other counties of Northern Ohio.
He reports in the vicinity of Castelia
Springs, near the lake, in Erie county,
an immense bed of Travertin. This is
the upper crust of the deposit, as it were,
and is in blocks eight or ten inches
thick Below this lies layer of Tufa, a
softer material, and below this IS depth
of five feet of carbonate of lime in a
powdered state, or much like sand. This
travertin and tufa are the result of the
action of the Castela Spring water on
the MOSES and deposits of the prarie on
which it is found. This prairie is about
600 acres in extent and ], 100 acres are
taken up with this valuable deposit.
From the upper crust or layer the best
lime is manufactured, and the whole is
particularly valuable for Agricultural
purposes.
In the Agricultural Report of 1862 Mr..
Klippart discussed the practicability of
manufacturing Fish Guano on the Lake
shore. Within the past year this sug-
gestion has been acted on. Several firms
are engaged in frying oil from sheep
heads, white bass, herring, and from the
ohal of fish, put up for shipment and sale.
The refuse is converted into guanO. Last
year they manufactured some 500 tons,
all of which met with ready sale at $3I
per ton. It is estimated that / 900 tons
| per year of this guano can be made from
the offal Of fish packed on the Lake shore
in that region. This guano mixed one
eighth part with Tufa, sold in New York
as first class guano.
In C1oy TOUR, ArtfrIaiza rOr1nfrr
there was discovered last week the re-
mains of a mastodon, and parts of the
skeleton were taken out without injury
and in good state of preservation.
The skeleton was found in a marsh on
the farm of John Pence, and was dis
| covered in cutting a township ditch
The animal, it is supposed, had 'mired,
and the skeleton was in a standing posi-
ton, the upper part scarcely more than
a foot below the surface.
The tusks were II feet long and eight
| inches in diameter at the base. These
Crumbled on exposure to air. The lower
jaw, all the teeth, all the bones Of the
| legs, and what is a little remarkable all
the bones of the feet were secured inact
! There were found none of the vertebreg
of any class and no bones of the upper
part of the head.
The bones of the fore leg, from knee
to foot, measured 80 inches, and were It
/ inches in circumference. The bones Oi
each foot filled a bushel measure. The
Mastodon, it is estimated from these
measurements, was 10 feet in length anc
8 or 10 feet high. Mr.. Klippart wa:
| present at the removal, and describes the
bones as very perfect. These are now
| in possession of Wilson Brackney, of St
Johns, Auglaize county.
The excavation lookingto the unearth
ing of the Champaign county Mastodon
commenced over year ago is still II
progress, with every promise of success:
on the part of those engaged.-Ohi.
