u..cue of che Wuddington Party
by Wnnier
Nrw YoRE. September 2O.-A special
from Dundee, Scotland. TO the Tribune
gives story OF the Buddinglon party
who were preserved by whaler in the
Arctic ocean. They say the Polaris had
been leaking badly before the 10Th OF
October, 1872, and the situation grew so
alarming il was resolved to abandon her.
This decision was reached on the 10Th
Of October. Some Of the crew re
NAMED on board, while others landed
on the ice and began to get out stores.
Between ten and twelve o'clock that
night a severe storm sprang up, and
snow fell heavily, with strong winds.
Operations, however, were continued.
About midnight the hawsers by which
the ship was made fast suddenly gave
way. The anchor tore of large
ice fake, with three men on it, and as
the Polaris drove past them they cried
What are we 10 dor" Captain Bud
dington shouted back that he could do
nothing for them; they had boats and
provision, aud must do the best they
could for themselves. A few minutes
later those on board the Polaris saw a
boat launched and manned by the three
men and make for tho place where
their comrades were stationed. The
storm and darkness afterward shut them
from sight, and the ship driited away.
The prospect was now gloomy. The
Polaris still leaked badly, and Captain
Buddington having no hopes of getting
further south, he determined to beach
her. which was finally done. Provisions
were placed on the ice coal, timber, and.
everything useful, was removed. Plank
huts we're built, and there they passed
the long winter. Toward the close OF
winter it was proposed TO build two
boats. which was done by the use OF the
timbers and iron work. Of the Polaris.
The boats we're then launched and they
sailed from the cove, making for HAIKU
let Island, where they encountered ter
rible gale. At last they succeeded IN
reaching Cape Parry, and made an en-
campment few miles below the cape.
They again sailed on the Dist Of June
and reached Cape Hook in safety on the
23d. They we're discovered by whaler
a few miles off, and the whaling party
became wild with excitement. The
vessel, however, proved to be the Raven
Wing, Of Dundee. Captain Allen, OF
the Raven Wing, took them on board
and treated them in the kindest mah'
ner, and transferred them to the Arctic
in order that the whaling operations
might not be interrupted As soon as
the latter vessel completed her season 8
work she sailed for home with the Pc
laris crew, except three, who were left
on the ice. Those three were Bryan,
astronomer; Mauch, seaman, and Booth,
fireman. They are expected home in
few weeks. All agree as to the I'M
timely end Of Captain Hall.

One Of the most curious features Of
the Yellowstone region is to be found in
the hot springs. On the border Of the
Yellowstone Lake are often to be seen
elevated mounds, which jut out from the
shore into the water. These contain
pools filed with heated water, so that il
is possible for a person standing on the
mound to catch trout in the lake with
the help of fishing rod. and to cook
them in the boiling spring without TAX

From the jackson Wing and Tribunel
Advices from Ireland show that there
has been a steady decrease in emigra-
ton from that country to the United
States during the past year. In one
sense we nay rejoice at this informs-
ton, and in another we may regret IT,
We are glad to find that the heavy hand
Of England has been removed, to some
extent, so as to render the gem Of the
sea" tolerable to her warm-hearted and
generous sons, and yet we can but regret
that thereby we lose an infusion Of good
citizens, who would contribute greatly TO
our materialgrOwth and social advance
ment Weove much TO the Irish who have
come In our midst. They have built miles
Of railway, and stood by their adopted
home. especially in The South, with I'M
faltering devotion. No brighter name
shines on the scroll Of fame than Pat
Cleburne, and no drawer spirit ever
ascended up n heaven from the ensan-
guined battlefield. Jackson can boast
among her best citizens not a few Irish
gentlemen. who have contributed their
fall quota 70 her public enterprises, and
Who have been lavish Of their private
fortune 10 develop and bssEtify hsT re
sources. We can only wish that We had
more such men. They constitute th'
wealth and glory Of a State.

Prom the San Francisco Call Of the 10th.
There was Witnessed, yesterday alter
noon, one OF the most remarkable IN
stances Of presence Of mind on the part
Of a lady We have ever heard Of AT
about s o'clock, as large number OF
picnicers from Badgers Park were walt
ing for the train to take them to this city,
a young lady about twenty years OF age,
escorted by young man OF about the
same age, started TO walk across tho
tresic work opposite the park. At this
point there is sweeping curve IN the
railroad track, and when n train Is APP
proaching il cannot be seen until within
a short distance Of the station. The
lady and gentleman had proceeded about
thirty wards on the trestle-work, when a
gravel train came round the curve at
a high rate OF speed. The engineer
saw The situation, and whistled down
brakes. but il was impossible to stop
the train in time to save them. The pair
started to run for the solid ground, but 1t
was an impossibiliiy to reach 1t before
the train, and the large crowd held It's
breath, expecting every moment TO see
two mausled forms The lady, who did
mot lose her presence of mind for a sec
oud. saw her danger, and shouting TO
her companion, Immediately dropped
through the trestle.work and caught hold
of one Of the sleepers with her hands Just
as the huge engine passed over her head,
with scarcely twelve inches of space
between them. The man followed suit.
md the Two remained suspended until
tho long train passed on, when number
Of gentlemen rushed forward and rescued
them from their perilous position end
brought them to terra 6rma. The young
lady had not received any bruises, but
had her dress and sacque torn in several
places when dropping down between the
,leepers. Her companion received sew
sral bruises. and his wardrobe will re-
luire the aid of a tailor. The escape
was indeed marvellous one, and the
brave, cool headed young lady was the
heroine on the home trip.

Correspondence New York SUM-
Providence, September s.
A dispute has arisen between Bishop
Mcfarland, of the Roman Catholic Do
cese of Hartford, and the Pensioners OF
St. Marys Catholic church, situated at
Broadway and Barton street, in this city.
In 1868 a tract of land was purchased
from Sturgess Baker, on the corner
mentioned, for thirty cents per foot, and
is row estimated to be worth from one
dollar to two dollars per foot. The ne
qotiation for the sale was perfected by
the Rev. Mr.. Quinn, lately deceased, and
the money for the purchase was paid by
Bishop Mcfarland, and, as the Bishop
alleges, from his private funds. The
government stamp to the deed was paid
for by Father Quinn with the money of
the parish. Bishop Mcfarland was
then prelate Of Rhode Island and
Connecticut, but since that time
each State has been constituted a do
cese, and Bishop Hendrickson was ele-
waited to the episcopal charge Of Rhode
Island, while Mcfarland remained IN
Connecticut Since the separation the
parishioners Of St. Mary's have been
taking steps to have their right to the
property recognized but Bishop Nc
Fariand is firm in maintaining that the
land, having been paid for with his
money, belongs to him. There is much
excitement among the thousands OF
Irish Catholics in this city, and 1t IS
difficult to surmise how the dispute will
end, Bishop Hendrickson is of opinion
that the estate is the property of Bishop
Mcfarland, and on last Sunday he
threatened the hostile party with excom-
munieation. Notwithstanding this threat
the parishicners resolved to take legal
steps to secure title TO the estate.

The HARDIN ESTATE CASE. Another
strange feature has been added to the proceed
iDgs in the Hardin will case in New York which
has been attracting SO much attention in that
city. 1t win be remembered George Hardin,
after amassing 50, 00O, 900, died, as his business
acquaintance supposed, rich old bachelor,
while in reality he had been living for twenty
i've years under an assumed name, in an
obscure street, With woman he called his wife,
and 10 whom letters of administration were
granted after his death. The counsel for the
Irish nephews who are contesting her right to
widows half of the property, brought into
court on Saturday her first husband, Robert
Walker, who, according TO her own story, had
either died or disappeared before she became
Mr.. Hardin's wife. He was found in the aims
house at Biackwells Island ten days ago by the
counsel for the contestants. He is apparently
sixty four wears of age.
