It is stated that Carl Schurx will
not deliver single speech in favor Of
Greeley and reform without fee of at
least 5000, and that he has receive
already twenty-six hundred dollars for

posing the Administration.
Governor Noyes says Grant will carry
Ohio by from 10000 to $4,000 ma.
jority.
Ex-Governor Stephen Miller has
taken the stump in this State for
Grant and Wilson. Gov. Miller il IN
effective speaker, aud will do good
wherever he may 90.
It was reported that Mirraman
would contest the election Of Gov.
Caldwell, in North Carolina, in case

a SAD lNOIDENT.

Ono of the many sad incidonb con.
neoted with the sinking Of the propeller
Metis, is thus reported: .
In the saloon Of tho Narragansett,
SGT . young woman, poorly but neat.
y dressed, Weeping silently near
the spot where the dead body Of her
husband lay. She was asleep when the
collision occurred, but was awakened
by tho shock, and told her husband to
go up and see what was the matter. He
did 50, and said that the captain told
him there was no danger ahead. He
got into bed again, but could not sleep,
and was soon again alarmed by the
sound Of many feet running to and
fro. A moment later, tho steward, .
brave man, Of whom oil speak we'll,
rushed into their state room and told
them TO put on their life preservers, ~
the boat Vas sinking. This was ter.
rible shock, but they hastened to obey
the order. Tie tive children of the
young couple lay asleep, one baby
six weeks old, the other q boy Of three
years. The father took the largest
child in his arms. The mother chung
to the infant. The two struggled to
the deck. The saloon was knee
deep in water by this time, and in less
than five minutes man and wife were
in the water. The waves ran high,
and soon husband and wife were swept
apart, and as his strength relaxed he
let 60 his hold on the child, and both
were drowned. The mother held her
babe above the hungry waters until her
strength was exhausted, and then
wave larger than the rest dashed it
from her arms, aud she saw it sink
slowly to the depths below. Just as
she was exhausted, and after = life pre-.
server slipped from beneath her arms,
the "Moccasin" came up, and she was
recalled to life, which for the present
at least is indeed bitter. II have my
husband here" she would say, "but
they can never find my babies. So
large a sea-" The poor woman was ia.
ken to Philadelphia this PM, where her
parents live, and where her husband
will be buried

"A correspondent writing of Charles
O'Couor, says :"In statars Mr.. O'Couor
is rather tall and Of rather a slender
build. He dresses plainly and this
adds to his plebian aspect. His
countenance is decidedly Irish, and is
of that medium stamp which IS found
between the gentry and kern Of that
island. He might be reasonably taken
for successful grocer or thrifty dry
goods merchant, or even a second-rate
physician. There is something in that
plain counteuauce, with its dry, hard
lines OF thought, that tells Of labor ;
but the latter does not suggest hteary

grace or general attraction, but We see
nerve and calm decision there, and
hidden power is suggested that makes

TIE Philadelphia Press makes a
careful estimate of the Presidential
prospect. The electoral votes of
States which went Republican at
their last election and are now sure for
Grant foot up 1856. The electoral votes
Of States which went Democratic at
their last election, and also New York,
which are considered as tolerably sure
for Greeley, foot up LII. There are ten
doubtful Ststes, of which four were
Democratic aud six were Republican at
their last elections-aggregatiog 81
electoral votes. Even supposing,

C1AP-TRAP AND CANr.-Invalld reader.
if you are unwiss enough to put yourself
outside Of any Of the mock tonics guaran.
teed to contain s'no difusive stimulant,' -
you viii inevitably come to grief. Ask
your physician If any liquid preparation,
destitute Of stimulating properties, is
worthy Of the name Of tonic. He will
tell you no. shun all such nauseous CATCH
pennies. Plantation Bitters, the most
wholesome invigsraat In tho world, owes
the rapidity with which it relieves the dis
ordered stomach and the shattered nerves
to the diffusive agent which conveys its
medical ingredients to the seat Of the COM
plaint., That agent is the spirit of the 81.
gar cane, the most nutritious and agreea-
BILE Of all the varieties Of alcohol. The
medicinal ingredients Of the Bitters, vAlu-
able as they are, would be comparatively
useless without this distributive basis
They would ferment and sour. Beware.

compounds of refuse drugs in state of
fermentation which humbugs are endeavor-
ing to foist upon the public as medicines.
