few weeks ago in the steamship Queen.
With the intention of putting on new
life-saving apparatus and being thrown
into the sea three hundred miles from
the land, and then padding himself to
shore, has turned up in Ireland. It
seems the captain Of the Queen would
not allow the experiment. to be made as
originally designed, SO BoyntoD made
an involuntary passage to the coast Of
the Green Isle. When the steamship
had reached point close to Fastnet
Rock, Cape Clear, three miles, and the
hamlet of Baltimore. seven miles dis

ing been frequently importuned, gave
his permission for Boynton to 60 over

rubber air-tight snit and inflated the
air chambers; in his alright sack be
placed food for three days. compass,
bull's-eye lantern, some books Gust

nine o'clock p. NJ. 1t was wild. dark
night. He lay on his back padding
vigorously, and now the lights Of the
vessel were lost in the night. In .
quarter Of an hour more his spirit
almost qusiled, when tossed high on
the crest Of wave he could no longer
see the coast line or any lights. The
wind blew. the rain poured down and
the tide set dead against him. He was
drifting out to sea. aud to add to the
awful loneliness Of the situation, and to
increase the dreadful peril. . violent
gale commenced. He was tossed on
mountainous waves. over which he
aoundered and padded for dear life
until 4 o'clock the next morning, hav-
ing traversed distance Of thirty miles.
He landed at Trefuska Blight, some
miles from Baltimore, his original OBJ

In another column we publish
a letter coming through the mail to
us from young man lately senten-
ced to the States Prison. All the
fascinations of crime. have passed
and the sad reality of merited pun
ishment is before him, and all that
he has to comfort him in his sad af.
fiction is the fact that the parents
who watched over and cared for
him in his innocent helpless infancy,
do not know Of. his disgrace. He
looks back on his short experience
in crime and finds the only safety
is to keep out Of the way of temp
tation. More than this he has
learned not to rely wholly on his
own good resolutions, out trusting
to the grace, of God he resolves to
lead a different life. We hope
that he may be able to keep all his

Cranberries.

The "Berlin Cranberry" which has
become so popular in the market of the
United States is raised upon the marsh
es Of Wanshara County, nearly all in
the township of Aurora. About 1000
acres are more or less covered with
vines from which berries are picked.
Twice this amount is being fitted up and
set to vines. The two largest growers
Carey and Sackett, pick about three
hundred acres each.
In 1872 Carey picked kabout 10000
bushels, receiving about $4.OO per
bushel, $4,000 in all.
Sacketts crop was little less. The
last two years the crop has not exceed
ed one third the:yield of 1872, though:
some forty acres this year produced
5000 bushels. The entire crop in this
vicinity in 1872 was about 100000
bushels. The crop this year was about
zo,VVV, Delng snort on account OF the
excessive drouth and heat causing the
worms to devastate extensively.
Should this winter and next summer be
favorable a crop Of 10000 will be
confidentally looked for.
A great many barrels of the fruit are
annually shipped to California and the
Southern States. The reason the
berries are called Berlin Cranberries is
because they are all shipped from Ber-
lin City, being the nearest point of ac-
cess to the marshes by rail.

Congress is doing some goot

Congress is doing some good
work. A bill has passed the House
allowing settlers on the public lands
in the West, who have suffered from
the grasshopper plague, to leave
and be absent from their lands till
May, 1876, without prejudice to
their rights, which shows mercy, JUS
tice and consideration. The bill,
which on the second day of the ses-
sion passed the ..House after the
third reading, prohibiting members
of congress acting as counsel or
otherwise in suits or proceedings

worthy of commentator. The
wonder now is that this should have

somewhat narrowed and their graft
