Co. of Boston and Rockland, n. b., was
loaded with grindstones at an Albert
county port, tor Boston. She was frozen
in the ice, but was afterwards forced out
into the bay. There she hoated about for
some time, without a soul on board. At
length some persons boarded her, and
after some time brought her to St. John.
The owners came here to settle with the
salvors, but no satisfactory arran gement
could be made, the salvors demanding
$4,000, while the owners were not willing
to give more than $500 The salvors
then gave the vessel into the possession
of the commissioners of wrecks, and she
has been in charge for some weeks On
Wednesday morning, there was some as
constituent when it was discovered that
the Ottawa was not in the slip. She had
disappeared. 1t appears that in the even

A heartrending affair occurred near
Montvale Springs, N. Y, during storm
which recently passed over that section.
Four children, daughters of Mr. Thomas
Heron, left a school-house to 90 home,
just rs the storm came up. Becoming
frightened at the tierceness of the wind
they turned around to run back to the
schoolhouse, when two trees falling to-
gether struck them to the ground in sight
OF the teacher and the rest of the children.
AS soon as the teacher could get to them
he did So and found the eldest, q girl of 1G,
so feartully manged that she only lived
about an hour; another had her skull
fractured; the third had her right leg and
thigh broken, and the fourth her right
arm shattered, while all of them We're in
ternally injured. No hopes are inter
tanned of the recovery of two Of the
children, and the case of the fourth one is
considered very critical. The father OF
the children is II farmer living five miles

Victory Upon Victory

The unbroken series of victories which
have been achieved by the Democratic
Republicans of the country this spring,
demonstrate the enduring vitality of
Democratic principles, and the exhausted
OF the republican party. Every corner in
ING in New York. The destruction of
Administration prestige in New Hamp-
shire shows that there, also, the confidence
OF the people is destroyed. In Connecti-
cut the disgust has deepened and widened,
until an unprecedented victory is the re-
suit. And the great cities of the West
return answer that the Republican party
has been weighed in the balance of search
ing investigation. and found utterly want
ing in the moral character and respect for
popular right which is necessary. st.
Louis and Milwaukee, the other day, and
now Cincinnati, Toledo, Dubuque. and
Baton Rouge, declare that faithful adhe-
sion to Democratic principles in the sole
hope Of the Republic. And Albany stands
erect again, under the same inspiring
banner.
With the revelation of Radical rotten
ness comes the return of the people to the
cardinal ideas which have been the sheet
anchor OF the governing power of the ma
ton during the greater part of its exist
ence. Let Democratic Republicans, and
all who hope for reform and the revival
OF the conservative influences which are
essential to healthy prosperity and pro
gress, take courage. The prestige of the
Administration is lost, new that it has
been shown to be unworthy the confidence
OF the people.
We are not unmndful that there is a
wide difference between the undermining
OF confidence IN Republican management,
and the securing of absolute confidence to
the Democracy. But we are sure that it
will Justify every trust reposed in it, and
remain true to its faith and its traditions.

Further details concerning the mysteri-
Gus murder which IS supposed to have
been committed in Hamden. Conn, throw
no additional light upon the affair. The
carefnlest investigation by the authorities
fails to reveal the name of the murdered
man, where he came from, or who was
the murderer. The first that was known of
the affair came from two BOYS who were
out ion Il ramble through the woods on
Fast Day The boys first saw in de-
preston of the rock the boots of the muir
dered man projecting from some low
shrnbbery. On turtle: examination it APP
peared that the body must have been
placed in the position where it lay, and
whoever hid it there had cut boughs from
some cedar bushes and SO arranged them
as TO form a screen, almost hiding the
CHASTITY sight from the ordinary observa-
tlon OF any person who might chance that
way The deceased was much disfgured
in feature. The face and hands had been
eaten by mice, OF some small animals,
and there was 10 opportunity for estab-
fishing identity. From the quality of the
clothing worn by the man, it is conjectured
that he must have been in good circum-
stances. and as no papers were found in
the pockets it is the belief that robbery
must have followed the murder. An in
quest held upon the body on Monday re-
vealed nothing new beyond the fact that
the man had apparently met his death by
being hit upon the head with n heavy
club. The New Haven police have no
knowledge in addition to what has been
given, but much interest is felt in the af-
fair, and great desire for solution of
the awful mystery is manifested by the
citizens

Fashionable Ignorance.

Fashionable ignorance, like logic, is
partly science, and partly an art. 1t
is the science of accumulating or neg
lecting a particular body Of facts. 1t is
the art of using a judicious reticence
in dealing with these facts. 1t is diff
cult to describe it, for it varies with the
age and with every country; it is impos-
sible to define it, for it is bundle Of
anomalies - Protean, endless and in
Vulnerable. It must not, however, be
COMPOUNDED with ignorance in the alb
stract. 1t is one thing to be generally
ignorant; it is quite another to be fash
ionably ignorant. The first is dis
grace; the second an accomplishment.
Society cares nothing for the past. If
you are quoting it is more elegant to
say, Somebody prettily puts it, than
to say who the somebody may be. So.
cety hates names, especially of people
who are alive, or who have long been
dead, but it is very gratifed with grace.
ful allusion to those who have recently
quilted it. Poor Jones used to say"
or | remember poor Jones saying just
before he died, are most effective ways
of prefacing any observations you may
wish to make. To be accurate is to be
insuf'erably dull. We know what Lord
Bacon said doth ever add pleasure" -
and what was true in his time is true in
our own. A man once ruined himself
for whole evening by knowing the
exact position of town in Siberia. He
had certainly prepared the way for his
downfall by saying something about
ancient Carthage, but it was the Siberia
that finished him. 1t never does to
allude definitely to the classics, or any
language. "When / was a boy they
used to tell us at Eton" "-or Il learned at
school may be an elegant periphrasis,
but it is safest to avoid them altogether
Horace, however, you may mention, if
you can manage to do it vaguely, and
an allusion to Virgil has been excused,
but it was dangerous ground, and the
speaker fortunately recovered himself
by forgetting the name of some foreign
painter. The most important, perhaps,
of all the varieties of fashionable igpor-
anoe, is typographical ignorance, which
is a science in itself, and should be care
fully cultivated. 1t is most telling A
man has been known to make himself in
attempting to understand the situation
of the lodging of an aristooratic but
ignorant friend, who had just come up
to town for the first time; and the com
pletest extinguisher man ever suffered
was managed through the medium of
typographical allusion. But the subject
is endless and he who has thoroughly
mastered it may be said to have attained
the one necessary accomplishment for
making figure in society, and to have
acquired the mysterious virtue hinted at
by Horace, and described as being as
useful to the rich as to the poor, to the
old as to the young. when attained, and
as injurious to the one as to the other
when neglected. - Globe.

imaginable how the sympathy Of dumb

sort was recently published in the enter

A lady was seriously i'll and confined
10 her bedroom, TO which her fayorite
dog was rarely granted entrance. The
servants Of the lady daily made beef tea
for her, and threw the meat, after the
juice had been extracted, to the dog
Apparently the brute came to the con-
clusion that his dear mistress was being

OF meat would do her good. Waiting a
favorable opportunity, in the evening be
stole into her room with the beef in his
mouth, and when she awoke she found it
deposited as an offering of affection on

Strangest and most suggestive of all
the anecdotes recorded Of dogs are the
numerous histories Of their drowning
themselves under conditions which al
most compel us to class the act as vol
untary and conscious suicide. Not long
ago many newspapers copied mournful
stery of a poor dog who was cruelty dis
carded in his old age by his master, and
after Intellectual efforts to find shelter in
another house, was seen deliberately to
stand gazing at the rushing waters Of
the Loire, then painfully lift himself on
his crippled limbs and leap into the
stream. The spectator held out a stick
to save him, but the beast gave him a
look of despair turned away his head,
and foated down without an effort to
save himself Similar incidents are to
be found in Jesses Anecdotes Of Dogs"
where we are told of the suicide of
handsome and valuable Newfoundland
dog belonging to Mr. Floyd, solicitor
at Holmfrth. The animal showed low
spirits for some days, and then was seen
to throw himself into the water, where he
endeavored to sink by keeping his legs
perfectly STILL Being dragged out, he
returned time after time to the river, till |
at last he succeeded in keeping his head
under water long enough to extinguish
life
