G5S George ii. Wood sleeping coach
conductor on the Hudson River and New
York Central railroads, recently gave in
formation to the police authorities of
Hoboken of Silas Woods who mysteriously
disappeared on the 1st inst. Wood says
that on his last trip to Chicago, when near
Poughkeepsie, one of his passengers was,
as he supposed drunk. lie subsequently
noticed that the mans clothing was disord-
cred, that the studs had been torn out of
his shirt, and that he was in stupor hav-
ing evidently been drugged. An effort was
MADE to arouse him, but without effect,
and on the arrival of the train at Utica
the man was placed in the hands of Dr..
Gray of the Asylum. lie had evidently
been robbed of everything of value, though
where or at exactly what time is unknown.
The only clew to the identity of the man is
in letter found on his person directed to
Silas Woods, Bloomfield street, Hobolsen.
On the evening of June l Woods received a
note saying that brother living in New
York had ben fatally injured, and summon
ing him to Harlem. Woods started, and
was not again seen. 1t was subsequently
ascertaincd that he had not been to Har-
lem, and that his brother had not been
injured in any way.

A Helm Meet.

Woman is intended by divine law to be
the helper and coadjutor of Man; and it is,
therefore, with intense admiration for the
beautiful operation of that law that we re-
gard the spectacle afforded by a wife who
is in the largest and noblest sense help
meet for her husband. Such spectacle
presents itself in Delaware county, where
Mr.. j. Mullaly Jones works farm of sixty
acres, assisted only by his wife. This SUI
pcrior woman accompanies her husband to
the field, and when he, overcome by the
fatigue and heat, attempts to sit down, or
to turn to her for consolation, she stands
by and watches him, and jabs him in the
ribs with hayfork, and makes him rise
up and stir around in lively and energetic
manner.

aay In Chcnango county, N. Y, novel
lawsuit is exciting considerable curiosity
A Miss Evans is the plaintiff, and Curtis
Cooper defendant. Mr. Cooper, it appears,
agreed to give Miss Evans one eve lamb
and its increase until she was twenty-one
years of age, i'll consideration for gold
watch key. The suit was brought to re-
cover the sheep or its equivalent. The ev-
idence showed that the increase was to be
i'll eve lambs and that the natural increase
of flock of sheep would double every year.
According to this estimate Miss Evans
would have at the end of fifteen years &c.
064 eve lambs, which at $4 per head, would
amount to $64,2 The Justice who heard
the evidence has reserved his Judgment.

tB"A new style of brogan shoes has
been produced, made principally of elm
wood, in Massachusetts,. The sole is divid-
ed at the ball of the foot and reunited by a
hinge of sole leather of suitable thickness,
two inches wide, SO as to give free play to
the toes. A portion of the upper is made
Of leather, but they are toed and heeled
with wood. They are, however, shaped in
the modern style and not like the sabot of
France, which is all wood, and turned up
at the toe, "Heathen Chinee," style. In
the fastening copper rivets are made use of
and all the parts where the wood and leath-
er unite are packed with India-rubber.
These shoes will cost less than dollar per
pair, and are modification of the Europe
an wooden shoe but it is doubtful whether
they will be found as good as the English
clog, which is one of the most comfortable
of foot coverings when properly made,
when the ground is covered with snow or

eB- Mr.. r. b. Burrier of Deerlield, N.
H., lost an OK last week in very singular
manner. For some time he had noticed
that the OK was reluctant to move, though
he ate well. He had worked the pair all
day Wednesday, but on going to the barn
Thursday morning he found this one dead.
Examination revealed piece of very slen-
der steel hoop, from a hoop skirt, about
four and three fourth inches long, fast in
the case that surrounds the heart, and the
end Of it pressing against the heart had
worn a hole in it as large as a walnut, and
caused death by opening the blood vessels.
How it could have got there is a mystery,
unless it was raked up in the hay and so
taken into the stomach, and forced its way
through the integuments to the heart.

HORRORS OF THE SEA.
SIX HUNDRED COOLIES PERlSHI

San Francisco dispatches give the follow
ing particulars of the burning of the Pc
ruvian ship Don Juan which left Macao on
May 4, with cargo of coolies for Peru
The Don Juan loaded at Macao, taking
six hundred and fifty coolies on board for
Peru, and on the 9TH was burned to the
waters edge, not more than fifty miles from
Hong Kong. The coolies who have arrived
in Hong Kong, all aver that their treatment
was humane, and they had nothing what
ever to complain of either as to the allow
ance of food or the quality or quantity,
and the whole affair was simply acciden-
tai. The other view of the question, name
ly, that the vessel was set on fire by design
ing men among the Chinese, is not impos-
sible. One of them distinctly AYERS that he
heard an explosion of gunpowder aft, and
also smelt strong smell of it. Others again
say that they did not hear any report that
they were nearly overpowered by the Sick
ening smell of the ships material burning
aft 1t is to be regretted that the Europe
an who had the humanity to open the
matches did not succeed in saving his own
life, as he was overtaken by the coolies who
made a rush at the boat waiting for him,
and a general scramble occurred to get to
it, the Europeans using arms to prevent
the coolies getting into it. In this scramb-
le several Chinese were drowned The
boat, however, ultimately succeed in get
ting clear Of the ship, but had not gone far
when it upset in sight of but not within
reach of the coolies. The coolies then seem
when they observed the other three boats
at distance. During this time all the
materials of the ship were rapidly burning,
and large number perished in the hold,
but the cries from others were piteous.
Many, however, jumped in the water and
escaped by drowning the more horrible
death by fire.
While the luckless men were ON deck
and on the bowsprit in this position one of
the masts fortunately gave way, and the
men at once made a rush and scramble to
reach it they clung Oh with desperation,
calling as loud as they could to save their
lives. They had not been long in the water
before fishing junk came up and they
were taken off, two or three at a time, in
small sampan.
The mast was held on the wreck by wire
rigging, and would otherwise have drifted
away to sea, The coolies state that there
were no less than fifty Europeans on the
vessel, so it remains to be seen what
became of them. Some, no doubt, were
lost in the boat that was swamped. From
Macao it is reported that thirty-iive of the
crew have arrived there, and are unani-
nous in stating that the coolies mutinied
and set fire to the ship aft, in hopes of
forcing all to abandon her. and so take the
vessel. 1t seems they thought the fire could
be extinguished afterward

a few minutes walk up pleasant street we
reached the entrance to
WATKINS GLEN.

We shall not attempt description of
this spot, for we have neither the time nor
the ability to do the place justice but as
we passed into the narrow chasm, and
looked up the steep rocky walls that tower
up on either side, climbed the dizzy heights
by the stairs provided for that purpose at
the entrance, looked down into waters
rushing along the rock bound channel and
over the precipice, into the pool below, we
felt that we were already repaid for cur
visit though we had as yet only had a
glimpse of the beauties there to be found.
1t is about fifteen minutes walk from the
entrance to the Mountain House, though a
person can easily pass hours on the way if
he takes time to properly examine all the
splendid views which are continually pre-
sented for admiration.
The hotel which is located at the head of
the first glen is built after the style of a
Swiss cottage, and from its vcranda you
look down nearly two hundred feet into the
ravine beneath.
On arriving at this resting place we sup
posed we had seen the whole Glen, but
were informed by Mr.. Parsons the proprie-
tor, that we had only passed over one third
views were yet 20 be seen. Therefore after
a rest and a good dinner we again started
to finish the excursion up the cool and
shadowy recesses of the delightful place.

and MAJ ny other points of interest in the
United States, and are free to confess that
none of them went so far beyond our eX-
pectation, and SO entirely satisfied our love
of the beautiful and sublime in nature, as
our walk of that afternoon, and we return
from that trip feeling that descriptions of
the place cannot do it justice We advise
each of our readers to take the first oppor-
tunity that offers to visit the place and you
will then "know how it is yourself" :"
After supper, the fine steamboat NIagee'
took the party up one side of Seneca Lake
for about 10 miles, and crossing over re-
fine view of the lake.
The eXcursionists are under great obliga-
tions to the citizens of Watkins for their
hospitality; and to Mr.. L. B. Parsons of
the Mountain Hotel and Mr.. Joshua Jones
secretary of the Pleasant Valley Wine Co.,
we think each hungry and thirsty individ-
ual of the party felt particularly indebted.
The Editorial Association may well feel
satisfied with this their first excursion, and as
they think of the good times enjoyed, they
will no doubt feel that the Secretary Mr.. II.
s. Menamin, fully earned the vote of thanks
unanimously rendered him for his exertions
to make the trip pleasant one. Over one
hundred Editors were present, many of
them being accompanied by their ladies
which added materially to the pleasures
of the occasion.
On the return from Watkins, many of
the party stoppediat Mnequa Springs, in
Bradford Co., Pa, where Messrs. Scofield
& Barry had generously rendered hospita-
BILE welcome to all the editors in the State.

years in the penitentiary.
Bowen, after a pause, addressed Mrs,
King, saying that when his term expired
he would return to her, whereupon Mrs.
King extended to him her hand, which he
grasped as pledge of faith. She appeared
to be deeply affected. Bowen was subse-

CHICAGO AND UNITED STATES.
The QusstIsn Of the Erection Of Public
Buildings In that City.
Passage by Congress of the Bill Authorizing
the Werk,

WASHINGTON, December 19 To-day in
the senate, Mr.. Morrill,, OF Vermont, re-
ported to the house bill sppropristing
lour million dollars for public buildings
at Chicago and asked Its immediate con-
slderstiOn.
Mr.. Chandler thought that the sppro.
pristion was very large, and would like to
have the necessity for it thoroughly DEM
Onstraled before voting for it.
Mr.. Morrill, said that the COMMITTEES
we're satisfied that 1t was necessary in
order to erect hrst-clsss buildings.
EIr. Carpenter said he had received let
tera from friends in Chicago complaining
hat there was = movement on foot to
change the location OF the government
buildings there, and that this bill would
favor that design by leaving the location
optional with the secretary Of the treas
ury.
Mr.. TrumbulI said that the provision
was designed to protect the government
sgsinst extoTtion.
Mr.. Carpenter had another objsctior 4,
That it seemed to admit that the Uniteo
States government could not take lands
for public purposes without the consent
of the legislature.
Mr.. C0nkling said he had Information
that already there was speculation ada
cent TO what was supposed to be the new
site. He was informed, too, that four
ffths OF the owners of the square adjoin-
ing the propsrty slready owned by the
government were willing to sell. In
view thereof he thought the buildings
should be erected on that site.
Mr.. Morrill, (Vermont) assured the
senate that there was an intention on the
part Of the secretary Of the treasury 70 Sc.
lect the new site.
Mr.. Logan confirmed Mr.. Trumbull's
statement that the option given the
secretary of the treasury was intended to
protect the government from exsortion
and not with view 70 changing the lOca.
ton. he knew that the people of Chicago
wished the buildings to be erected on the
old site. If he believed that there was
any probability of q change he would
vote against tina. provision.
The bill WAS then passed,
