which they obtained from the Esqui-
maux, enabled them to avert the disease.
When the boats were launched they
leaked a good deal. but the men deter
mined to trust them, and, slowing
abroad all their remaining provisions
and ammunition, they said farewell to

short time to regain their strength the
party made for Hakluyt Island, where
the expedition was brought to a stand
still by tremendous gale, which blew
for three full days, with a continuous
fall OF snow for all that time. Immense
|focks of Auks, bird of the Penguin
species, were encountered here, howev-.
er, and as the men could easily take up
their guns and kill ten of them at shot,
there was a plentiful supply of fresh
provisions, which were very thankfully
received. Occssionaly,their tiny crafts
were sadly beset, and it was feared they
would come to grief; but they were
among the ice, and there was nothing
to be done but TO force passage south.

After enduring many privations and

escape seemed almost miraculous, they
succeeded at last through great exer-
tons in reaching Cape Parry A few
miles below the Cape, at Fitz Clarissa
Rock, an encampment was made. Every
night, when the labors of the day were
over, the boats were hauled up upon the
foe and every thing taken out, and the
only hot meal of the day was prepared.
The apparatus employed in cooking was
of the most primitive character. Each
boat carried quantity Of rigging from
the Polaris and a can of oil. With
these fire was made in the bottom of
an old iron bucket. Tea was the only
thing that could be made with such en-
apparatus. They state that the priva-

York in safety. Here they were again
close beset with ice. On the 23d their
troubles came to an end, A whaler was
deserted few miles off, and the whole
party was at once in turmoil of ex-
element. A great fear seemed to take
possession of them all at once that the
ship might get away before they could
make themselves seen, and they put
forth every effort to push through the
ice with the least possible delay. The
vessel proved to be the Ravenscraig, of
Dundee, Captain Allan. She soon saw
their signals. and Captain Allan sent his

Senator Thurman is known to be
pure and incorruptihle, HE fingers are
clean. His hands are uncontaminated.
He touched nJt the unclean things
which polluted Congress. He is free
from all associations with the Credit
Mooilier. He touched none of that
money. He did not vote for or accept
the salary "grab" He attended to the
legitimate legislation of the country -
He advocated and defended the right
He denounced the wrong. Such a man
can command the respectful attention
of good men of both parties. They
will harken TO his facts and arguments,

MURDER IN EAgRygEsv.
An Old Man Rruialiy Kills Hls
Wife.

On Friday afternoon the citizens OF
the quiet village of Fairvew was horror
stricken to learn that murder had been
committed in The suburbs of that place.
A lady passing near the residence Of
David Brown, discovered sthe lifeless
body of Mary Brown lying by little
stream few rods from the house. Hur-
rying to town she gave the alarm. when
people rushed to the house and found
Brown sitting beside the lifeless form of
his wife. He was in half drunken con.
dtion, and no cre1ence was given to his
statements. He said she had fallen and
probably Filled herself that she had called
to him to bring her drink Of water, and
after he had spoken to her and failei to
get any reply, he had discovered that
life was gone. He also stated that she
had fallen out of the back door and blum
dered along to where the body was
found, which was some distance from the
house
A jury was hastily summoned and an
inquest held before Newell Kennon, Esq.
Upon examination it was fonnd that the
right LEG and left arm were broken. the
back part of the head was crushed in by
a blow from some heavy missile. A
number of witnesses were examined, land
after deliberation of three hours the
jury returned verdict that the woman
came to her death by violence at the
hands of her husband, and shortly after
ward Brown was arrested, charged with
the murder of his wife. He processes
entire ignorance as to her manner Of
death except as above stated.
David Brown is a coal digger about
IA years old. They had been celebrating
the tenth anniversary of their wedding
in the Welsh mining style, by grand
drunk, which commenced last Tuesday,
and was to continue a week, including
Thursday, the happy day. When they
were sober they were very kind and low
ing, and it was always "Davy. dear" and
"Mary, honey" but when they were
drinking they enjoyed themselves and
annoyed their neighbors by battling
treating each other to cuffs, blows, burns,
&c, besides exhausting the whole cata
logue of violent love and abusive epi
thets.
This gala drunk does not appear to
have differed from previous ones. They
procured the whisky from Hendrysburg
and when,on Sundays IAN Irishman named
O'Neal attempted to take an extra dram

EgWhile we ere becoming less, and
indeed scarcely at all, dependent upon
England for iron, she on the other hand
is becoming more dependent upon us for
bread. During the last three years her
importatious of food, drawn largely
from the United States, have increased
nearly one-half, and there appears to be
no immediate prospect for their dimuni-
ton. All of which indicates that she

ais, or a. least something else than the
