The vine au navre Calamity.

DfsIREIsrNG ACCOUNTS OF THE RESCUED +.
Detailed accounts. given by the sur
ylyors are narrowing aud distressing in
the extreme. Mr.. Waite, who was ac-
compaaied hy his sister on a voyage, be-
came separated from her in the horrid
vortex caused BY the SUDDEN sinking of
the steamer. When the latter went
down huge waves cAme surging out from
the closing of the monsntary chasn, and
amid boiling waters brother and sister
were torn asunder, and TIE brother alone
was saved. Miss Breeder left III wreck
hand-in-hand with her father, but tina
latter was drowned. James Bishon hsi
secured two planks, and gave one q III
friend, G. ii. Taylor who was drowned.
Bishop narrowly escaped, sailor al.
taching himself TO the plank. Bisncp
left it and swan for another.
Robert McCoskey, lad Of II, says
he was reused from sleep by the shock
and rushed on deck where he found near
ly all praying. Mrs. Bulkley's invoca-
tions aloud sounded like inspiration.
Judge Rufus w. Peckham was standing
near his wife, encouraging all and say
ing, :" If we must go down let us go
bravely." He observed Mrs. Murray,
Mrs. Platt and Mrs. Kennett; the latter
was bringing her infant on deck. The
little one had been a favorite of all the
passengers. She handed the child to
the nurse while she went to fetch the
second child, but before she was able to
return the ship went down. Mr.. Butt
thinks he foated 20 minutes on a spar.
Many were prevented from swimming
by having their overcoats on. Captain
Surmont remains at Cardiff utterly pros
trated. All attribute the disaster to a
want Of discipline on board.

SHOCKING Early Tuesday

Mr.. John Smith, who lived in Swanton,
near Sheldon line, went to the barn with

soon reached the barn and commenced

caught by timbers or suffocated, he fell
face downwards on pile of straw and

During the forenoon Mr.. Smiths charred

A Humane London Butcher.

A London butcher has invented a
convenient device for feeding and water
ing cattle as they stand in the railway
cars. 1t consists of series of trouphs
built parallel with the railway track,
each the length of car. These are ele-
waited or depressed by simple machinery
and the act of feeding and watering is
accomplished with comparatively little
labor. As merely human contrivance
the invention commends itself, but when
in addition we learn from experts that
every bullock from the moment it leaves
the grazier's yard loses eight pounds
day in weight, besides loose fat, the in
terest is also transferred to the drover's
pocket. Prof. Simons says of the mat
ter: There cannot be a doubt that the
feeding and watering of animals on their
journey to fat cattle market would
prevent, to great extent, that waste of
tissue which invariably takes place in
the travelling Of cattle, and would also
tend to maintain that juicy and WE'LL
known superior quality of the meat
which is met with animals killed at
home.

LIPPiNCoTT's MAGAzINE.-The bright
lace of Lippincotts is alway well
come. Always printed on nice tinted
paper, in clear type, it is a model of me-
chanical excellence, while the talent en-
ployed in essays, descriptive sketches,
travels, literary criticisms, &C., render it
one of the most popular American peri
odicals. In the present number there is
" The New Hyperion and " Sketches of
Eastern travel" both illustrated and fol-
lowed by readable article upon "Life
at the capital. A days sport in Flori-
da" is a refreshing bit, and the second
part of The Livelies winds up quite
satisfactorily. Kinahan CORVALLIS has
a paper upon "The Crisis" A Princess
of Thule is absorbing in interest, and
apparently approaches happy future
without sacrifice of poetic justice,
which authors are so fond of preserving.
