SrArIsrIcAL.-Some genius, who has
devoted his time and energies to the
examination of statistics, reports that
more money is expended in the United
States for cigars than for common
schools. Whereat still more investi-
eating genius asserts that the cost Of
washing linen which might just as well
be worn days longer amounts to enough
in this country to more than defray the
expenses of the American Board OF
Foreign Missions, the expense Of buttons
on the backs of coats, where they are Of
no earthly use, is equal to the support
of al our orphans, that the value Of old
boots thrown aside, which might have
been worn at least a day longer, is more
than enough to buy a flannel night
gown for every baby in the land and
that the cost of every inch on the full
shirt collars of young men is equal to
the sum necessary to put . Bible in the
hands Of every Pataeenisn giant.

TAKEN TO THE HosPIrAL.-A man
named F. S. Smith, who was engaged
as deck-hand on the steamer Waunita,
was go badly injured at Burlington, on
Saturday, that his life is despaired of.
He was brought to this city yesterday
on the Major Anderson, and taken to
the hospital. He has a wife and two
children in Warren, whom Captain
Muhleman notified. The accident &C.
CURED in this wise: The Waunita was
on her way from Cincinnati to Pitts
burgh, and got aground at Burlington.
The spar was got out to aid her in get
ting afoat. Just as Smith got under
them the blocks and piece ofthe spar
broke loose and fell, striking him upon
the head breaking his skull, so that the
brain protruded. He was alive last
night, but the chances are against his
recovery.
