Aspnwall At 3 :i5 a. m. fire was discovered
in the cargo, when steam and water were immc-
diately turned on, but the steam pumps after a
few revolutions broke down and could not be
worked Capt. Maury then ordered the matches
battened down, hoping thereby to smother the
fire, and at the same time the FIRE extingushors
were used between decks and the steam kept on
The fire gained, however, and at O'Clock the
captain, fearing an explosion from the powder
stored in the hold, il they remained by the ship
any longer, ordered the six boats launched One
of the boats capsized after leaving the ship, and
from seven TO ten inmates, including two women

sprung up, and the capszed boat was righted and
reached Cat island in safety. The other boats
reached Eleuthera island, a distance of $50 miles
from the scene of the disaster. The missing boat
has not been heard from, but it is supposed was
picked up by passing vessel. One Of the boats
in attempting to land Mt Eeuthera island was
capsized and nine were drowned. At 80 p. m.
the BienuiHe exploded and Immediately sunk
The passengers and crew lost all their baggage,

PersOnAl.

REV Q. w Thompson, has been appointed
Superintendent Of Schools, in Danville.
Hon Joseph H. Brainerd, for nearly forty
years County Clerk Of Franklin county, has been
compelled by impaired health TO resign his posi-
ton, and Wilbur p. Davis, Esq, Of St. Adams,
has been appointed clerk protein, and will doubt
less receive the permanent appointment. lie is
admirably qualified for the position.
We are sorry to announce the death Of Rev.
Alonzo 7. Deming, formerly a beloved and sue
ccssful pastor in Vermont. The pastor Of the
church at Newbury says, 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Deming left Newbury about one
year ago 10 try the Minneso Ia climate for dis
ease Of the lungs. After spending the winter in
Mortified, MINI, he went to the Red River Val
ley, Glyndon Station, where he died August 18th
His death was probably hastcned by severe at
tack Of dyscntery, though the fatal disease had
been steadily advancing all the while. His wife
was with him for two months previous to his
death, and is now left alone among strangers
with her only surviving child, having been bcreit
Of two children in May last"
Our old friend and former townsman DR..
Edwin A. kilbourne, at present superintendent
Of the Northern Illinois Hospital for the insane,
at Elgin, H., has just issued circular letter in
which he soicts the personal attention and in
terest Of the people Of his State to those unfor-
tunates under his charge. lie does not ask for
pecuuiary help for this the State has already
muniiicently provided for, but thinks the kindly
attention and personal interest of those so dis
posed, would have beneficial effect on his pa
tients. The circular shows him to be possessed
Of those requisites necessary to constitute firm,
yet intelligent and sympathetic superintendent,
qualities too often neglected in selecting persons
for these positions.

An English tourist in the Highlands SAYS

An English tourist in the Highlands says
that one finds there groups of every national
ity and costume, and it is puzzling enough to
know which is which. But when you see a
fat little lady, with spectaces, green veil
and an alpenstock, walking along level High
land road, and accompanied by several slender
young women who have curious belts round
their waist, from which depend teescope-cases
drinking TASKS and waterproof capes, you may
be sure the party is American.

that he gave library to General Grant in

to rest upon but the fact that a few friends Of

Of some Of our scholars and authors who had
been introduced to the President. The Judge
