Probable Loss of a Bark.

Captain Graham, of the ship Marl- borough, reports that he saw bark of about 600 tons bearing down upon him, under two lower topsails, with her en- sign union down, and an urgent signal on her mizzen topmast- t-head, and burn ing tar barrels. She had large crew on her deck, and boat ready for launch ing. He was unable to render any assistance on account of the heavy sea running. The bark came within half a mile of the Marlborough when her fore mast went by the board. It was blow ing hurricane all night. The bark was last seen lying with her head to the northward. Next morning, when the weather moderated, he endeavored to find the disabled vessel, but could see nothing of her. He could not make out her name. She was painted dark green, with white painted ports. She had square stern, square white house aft, and also a house forward. The vessel is probably lost with all on hoor1

A Steamer in a Hurricane.

The steamer Pennsylvania, from Liverpool, reports having met violent hurricane. The sea carried away the bridge, on which were Capt. Bradburn and the first and second officers and two sailors, who were all washed over board and lost. The fourth officer had leg broken. The ships hull and ma chinery were not injured, but she lost her boats and deck houses. Capt. Bradburn belonged to Baltimore, and the other officers were from England. After the loss of the officers consulta- tion was held, and it was agreed that g steerage passenger named Brady, for merly third mate of the ill-fated Allan tic, who, it will be remembered, swan ashore and secured line of the Allan tic, thereby being the means of saving number of lives, should take care of the ship, and it was through his man. agement the vessel was brought to Philadelphia. This was to have been the last voyage of Capt. Bradburn to this port, it having been arranged to have him act as Port Warden at Liver

 CoLLINGwooD, Onondaga Co.,, N. Y., Jan. 25, 1o'z' DR. R. V. PIERCE Buffalo, N. Y.:
 Dear Sir Allow me to give you brief history of the effect of your medicine called q Golden Medical Discovery" in my case. l am now in my seventy-fo lrth year, and natu- rally of firm constitution. Within the last few years, from over-exercise have been afflicted with complication of diseases almost incredl- ble to relate. In the first place Catarrh, to 8 degree that, to me, it seemed that my voice passed out at the ears to which was added it's natural ally-Bronchitis to which, at no great the head and shoulders and bloating of the lower limbs, the most of which was super induced by torpid state of the liver. l had the advice of several eminent physicians, and tried almost every known remedy for such com plaints without relief. A rapid loss of strength and waste of flesh, reminded me that l could not long withstand the combined force of dis ease which was fast bearing me down. I gave up all business, made my will, had my grave stone placed in position and lettered except date of exit, and resigned myself to my couch to await events. Not long after this I saw your | advertisement procured your remedies-I am now on the second half-dozen bottles of Golden Medical Discovery-have good appetite, have gained fifteen pounds of desh-no more talk out of my ears, no more bloating of the limbs can walk two or three miles with ease, and feel that you have given me a lease of ten or fifteen years-subject, however, to tho ratification o1 the Court above. That you may live long tc do good to suffering humanity, is the sincere wish of Your unknown friend

The Name.

Many years ago there lived at Wap- pinger's Creek, on the Hudson, ship carpenter who was troubled to find a name for a sloop he had on the stocks. His neighbors quizzed him so much that he at last came to the singular resolve that whatever word any person should say who next passed him on the road be the name by which he would christen his craft. Pretty soon huge Duchess county wagon hove in sight, oh the front seat of which were two farmers in eager conversation. "Who would have thought it?" said one man to the other, and so the poor little vessel had "Who would have thought it |? of Wappinger's Creek" painted on her, and there are elderly people now living in that vicini- ty who remember we'll the strangely named vessel,

A Second Father Matthew.

Who is there that does not respect the memory of Father Matthew, the great champion of temperance. Innumerable societies bear his honored name but there is one man who has struck more sure death-blow to intemperance, and that man is DR. J. WALKER, an old California physician, who has discovered in nature's "meek and lowly herbs,' 8 medicinal " tonic and gentle stimulant that completely takes the place of the fashionable alcoholic poisons called "tonics," so popular as compromise between strong drink and1rcold water, and does away with the mania for drink, and in reality cultivates an involuntary disgust for the same. It even does more: It acts upon the entire physical system, parties the blood, and produces hale, hardy health. The discoverer of this great medicinal stimulant is surely entitled to the thanks of whole nation, and it is not extravagant to entitle him "a second Father Matthew. .'-Cona.
