O'Clock on Suaday evening, and at 1880 o'clock,
three miles east Of Falkner's Island, fire broke
out around her boiler. The flames spread rap.
idly, and the steamer was at once headed for
Falkners Islands, and as her donkey engine and
force pump forward could effect nothing to the
flames, the crew was forced to abandon the
vessel, and all hands, nine in number, took a
boat and reached the shore in safety. 1t was a
beautiful still night. The Parthenia hooded for
the mainland and ran herself aground a mile
southeast Of Guilford Point and burned IN.
There was no cargo worth mentioning on board.

THE German element or our population has
been greatly excited for the last sixty hours
over the reports Of continuous Prussian successes
in the war with the French. The feeling has
rot shown itself in any noisy demonstration Of
Joy, but it has been tOlerably easy to single out
a citizen of German descent by his radiant as
pect: ard when two OF three OF them have been
gathered together and in the full tide of Joyous
comment it has not been at all difficult to guess
their nationality. 1t ia likely that the gratifi-
cation Of our German citizens over the proud
