piled TO stndy, would famiiiariEe him
with the radiments, at least Of almost
any Of the familiar sciences, and make

wasting OF an ho8r each evening where

APPALLING STEANROAT

APPALLING STEAMBOAT EXpLo-
sIoN.--July 30th, tho most shocking
accident that has occurred iu New
City for many years, occurred at the
foot Of Whitehall street. The ferry.
boat Westfeld, running to Staten Is

an explosion occurred, by which be.

sion was q dull, crashing sound, fol-
lowed almost iDstan.aneously by the
rush Of escaping steam. The main
deck was forced upward, heavy beams
we're torn into fragments, and the air
was filled with human being and debris.
Many persons were blown up to u
height Of from 40 to so feet, and
thrown into tho water. The pilot
house was hurled into the air distance
Of 30 feet. The pilot was 10 the
house at the time, but strangely
enough, escaped serious injuries
Many who had been Injured by the
explosion were severely scalded by the
escaping steam Small boats were en-.

were picked up. II is believed tha,
from 30 to 40 persons wcro drowned
The boiler had been in use nine years
II was partly turned round. Frag-
ments Of the framework of the vcsse
we're piled in confused mass over

hundred persona scalded and mangled

MR. EDrroR. The community at

have had an opportunity Of reading
the Selius Grove Times, in its last two
issues have been very pleasantly en-
tertsined BY au article In both num-
bsrs Of said issuos, relative 10 q very
important eutjecs "to ell whom Il
may concern" namely q contest be-
tween two rival Rcaping Machines,
tho Dodge, and the champion. The
writers OF the articles as they appea arcd

minds of all, that they had at some
time or other held either the impor-
,ant position Of pot and kettle inspec

some out of the way place, where oil
movements we're executed with militia
ry precision, or else perhaps during
their eventful lie figured as one OF
thoso mysterious nondcscripts known
in times past as Par;or Patriots /; at
all events it is obvious 10 the first ar
ticle that appeared that their military
training had in no manner been neg

one fact we are certain, thar had
Captain Miller (referred to 10 first ar
ticlc) during the first time he was iu
command OF his company, boeu bur
dcned with such soldier as tho wri-
tor would have been, the Capt. would
have urged his immediate discharge
from service on the ground Of imbc-
ciliiy or general wortblessness.
Having boen present at the trial of
the two contending machines on the
property Of Mr.. Drecs, and haviug
been careful observer ofal that trans.
pired, we Eau in all csndor say that
the Dodge machine fully proved it's
superiority 10 every particular that
was claimed for il, as every free min
ded and unprejudiccd person there
present is in justice bound to confess.
But the writer Of the articles that
appeared in tho Times" appears to
entertain more ill-will against tae
Agent Of the Dodge Mechiuc (Mr. Jo.
scph Wenrick) than he does for the
machine i'sclf, the personalities u.od
relative to him fully establish this, for
what motive, is best and perhaps only

The Persian Famine,

The famine in Persia is still causing
dreadful havoc. The death in the
province Of Khorassau average 800
daily, and the dead bodies Of tho VIC
tins are devoured by the survivors.
Men, women, and children are in
some cases killed. for food The plague
has also appeared among tho Persiaus
aud the Turkish Government has
been compelled to draw a sanitary
Gordon along the borders Of its domia /.
ions.
The distress that prevails is due to
misgovernment, and especially to op-
pressivc taxation. In o land where
no roads or other considerable means
oftransportatiou exist, and where trade,
both home and foreign, is small, tho
effect Of heavy taxation is far arditfercn,
from that which appears iu a free
commercial country. 10 tho latter,
taxes, if made unreasouably burden
some in one place or on certain persons
are soon thrown upon aud shared with
Il be rest OF the community-even with
the rest OF the world-iu the course OF
active business. But among a people
almost wholly agricultural (ths only
transportation being on the backs Of
camels and other animals, } such bur
dcns generally stay where FIRST placed,
ADD crush enterprise aud activity out
OF the victims. For ages, 10 Persiu
absolute power has had its sure accom-.
paniment Of high and arbitrary and
sudden taxes. insomuch that men have
feared to improve theirlands, lest such
improvement should lead to fresh de,
mands. Finding poverty the only con
di,ion Of life TO which they are allow
cd to attain, they have sunk to liviue
from hand to mouth, so that an unfore.
seen calamity to the crops plunge,
them into dire distress.

The above, from tue Montrose Re-

VI Farlaud is the man who broke up
the orphan school at Orangeville, Col

children 10 all directions, and almost
running Prof II. d. Walker, as well as
putting tho Common wealth to great
cost in remunerating the individual

land lost leg in the honorable SER
vice of his country, aui is entitled to
due credit for gallant bravery which
led to his loss. Benedic. Arnold
suffered the samo misfortune under
similar circumstances, but was a trait
or thereafter nevertheless. We do
not, however wish to compare Mar
land with Arnold but we do think
that the former gentleman has acted
very badly toward the Commonwealth,

litieal traitor. A purely temperance
