River Steamer Burned.

The steamer Pat. Rogers was burned
on the Ohio river near Aurora, Ind,
on the morning of the 9Th Inst.
About twenty lives were lost. The
boat and cargo were a total loss.
Dr.. Holmes, the engineer, was
among the saved, and gives the follow
ing account Of the disaster:
1T was just about 6 o'clock. when
just opposit Loughery Creek, that
flows into the Ohio river. two miles be-
low Aurora, that [ noticed bright
light among some bales of cotton in
the afterpart Of the boat. I fastened
to the spot. and found it to be burning
rapidly, and beyond any possibility of
Immediately extinguishing it [ has
tened to the hurricane deck, and gave
the alarm to the pilot, that the boat
was burning, and told hin to run
ashore. The pilot at once turned the
boats head to shore, and Immediately
she became manageable. The pilot
states that he could turn the wheel,
but the boat would not answer her
helm. He thinks the tiller rope had
been cut. From this fact it is thought
the fire was the work of an incendiary.
Another theory is that one of the
deck passengers, while smoking, drop
ped sparks from his pipe into the cot
ton. When the boat became unman-
ageable she drilted on to a sandbar, and
there grounded, The flames. instead
of spreading along the lower deck, at
once shot up to the cabin and pilot
house and then swept across the hurri-
cane deck. The passengers were all
aroused, and boats lowered, and many
were carried to shore, but others in
their fright jumped into the water, and
those who were not drowned reached
safe landing place after drifting a long
time with the current There were
nearly hundred people on board, but
what proportion of this number were
actually lost is not known at this time
as many reported missing have been
seen by some on shore after the dis
aster.

Public ApiuSeRcnts.

To The Editor Of the Reporter II
was glad to learn by short editorial
paragraph in your last issue intimat-
that our citizens might have an oppor-
tunity Of hearing lectures by an cxpe-
rienced and competent teacher from
New York, upon the interesting and
useful science Of Geology, or Natural
History. If Gas an able writer has
said) a nation is known by its songs
then surely town may be rightly
judged Of by the character of its
amusemcnts. Now it is an old maxim
that '.birds Of q feather will flock to-
gether;" therefore a city, village or
community known to patronize and
prefer strolling theatres, low comic
concerts, jUgglers tricks, circus-clowns,
and other utterly useless and vicious
performances. will naturally attract to
itself such population as prefer vul-
gar amusements, and will also repel
and Acep a,ooy those who desire a
hOme among the moral and those of
cultivated and refined taste. Now
what possible benefit did the three or
four hundred people of Grand Rapids
and Centralia derive from the utterly
stale, e rot Low performance, or con-
cert-if such it could be called, 20
which they listened one evening last
week? The money thrown away up,
on that foolish or stupid performance,
would defray the expense of several
useful and instructive scientific lectures.
It is TO be hoped that those who care
for the good name and welfare Of our
young and thriving city will not over
!ook the matter above limited at, and
