"A Itoman,ic story.

Tie schooner Florinda. Capt. Kenmine, sailed
from New Orleans in 18i9 for San Francisco,
taking number of passengers who had boon
seized with the gold fever, and touched at Port
Praya and Rio Janero, which port che left in
the early part of the year. vessel calling at
Rio shortly after reported speaking tho Florinda
in the Pacific, just beyond Cape Horn, but
nothing more was ever heard of her. The New
Orleans Picayune says that short time ago a
friend OF the wife of one of the passengers of
the schooner read in an English paper that a
British naval vessel, driven out of her course,
sighted an unknown island in the lower Pacific,
and found upon it several persons, who said
they were the Florinda party, who had been
wrecked on the island and had been
there ever snce-more than twenty five
years ago. The names given were those
OF the Florindas crew, and in other ways the
identity OF the party is said to have boon estab-
lished. 1t is further stated that the offer To
take the mon Off was declined, on the ground
that as they had been lost 30 long they preferred
ending their days there. Further inquiries are
on foot to establish the truthfulness OF the ac-
count.

After inquiry from headquarters, it is pret-
ty certainly ascertained that there will be no
change at present, in either the U. 8.
Collectors or U. s. Marshals office.
No official notice OF his suspension has been
sent to Collector Prettyman and none IL likely
to be- without due consideration. 1t is ascer-
tanned that efforts have been made for about two
years, at Washington, to secure the removal Of
these officers, but until now, without sign Of
success,
In the case of Marshal Dunn, it appears that
the person urged in his place was Wilson L..
Cannon, of Dover. Under existing circumstances,
this would be most extraordinary and improper
appointment, as the suit OF the Unitod States
against the sureties OF ex-Colector Day, Ia still
pending in the Q. 8. Circuit Court, and
would therefore, as Marshal, summon his own
Jury. DIR. Isaac Jump who came up from Dover
yesterday morning, thought Mr.. Cannon did not
want and would probably not take the place, but
gentlemen who conversed with him on Thursday
evening had different opinion. 1t will not,
however, be pressed on him, at present
Letters continue to go forward to the authori-
men, urging that the announced change in the
Collectorship should not be made. DR.. W. O..
Davidson, who came up from Milford, last eve-
ming, states that exCongressman Lotland dis.
claimed having made any effort to obtain the
place, and seemed to regret that he had been
placed in his present awkward position of appar-
emily seeking to secretly undermine DIR. Pretty
man, who AZ well rs Dr. Davidson, cordially sup
ported him for Congress. There is no donbt
that republicans generally regret the announce d
removal, believing it without cause, and only
calculated to renew factional strife in the party.

The Now York Eoening Post, (Wm. Cullen
Bryant's Journal which has had little or moth
ing to say about the Beecher scandal during ite
progress, has, in its issue of Tuesday, lengthy
article on the subject. After saying that il I'll.
ton had brought AN action for divorce, it would
have been thrown ont OF Court on any such
evidence RS he furnished, tho writer says
1t was not for Mr.. Beecher to prove himself
innocent--the hardest kind OF proof often-bnt
for his assailants to prove him guilty. II they
fail in that, il their testimony IL 30 suspect, 30
doubtful, contradictory, or 30 inadequate as
not to succeed in convincing twelve honest and
impartial men to whom.it il submitted, they fail
altogether; their charge is unsupported, and the
object of their assault walks forth in his origi-
ual nnocence-that innocence which the law
presumes and opinions ought to preserve-the
condition Of any man until he is shown to be
otherwise.
1t il an accquittal. which We believe public
opinion will sooner or later receive and ratfy.

his serene self-conidence, the ardent devotion
Of his friends-those who have heen the longest

to operate in his favor, until the clouds which
now lower over him have dispersed, and his
magnificent abilities and noble and generous
nature shall come out in their pristine glory.

A BOY shot.

YOUNG MAN FIRES TOWARD CROWD OF srosE-
THROWING BoYs-THR BULLET IN BOYS LEG.
case of unintentional shooting occurred at
the foot of Tatnall Street, yesterday evening,
which might have been moro serious than it
WAS. 1t appears that a young man by the
name Of W. A. Cornbrooks, and a young
lady, were about going out to take boat ride
from the foot of Tatnall Street, where Corn
brooks keeps 8 boat When they had got a
few yards from the wharf, soine boys who had
been refused a ride in the boat, threw volley
of stones, one of which barely grazed the face
of the young lady, and used very indecent
and insulting language. Mr.. Oornbrooks
somewhat oxasperated at such conduct drew a
pistol and fired towards the crowd with the point,
as he thought, low enough to strike the water.
In this he was disappointed, m the ball struck a
young lad named James Riley, residing at 113
Justison street. in the thigh. Mr.. o., alarmed
at what he had done, Immediately came ashore
and had Riley sent to his home and DR.. Shadin-
ger summoned.
The bal passed through the leshy part Of the
thigh, without striking bone or seyering an
artery, and il consequently only a flesh wound.
No action had been taken by the authorities this
morning.

Labor Troubles at baltimore.

STRIKE AMONG THE STEAMSHIP FIREMEH-RArL-
WAY BLAcKsMITHs LAY OFF.
The fremen and coal passers Of the Baltimore
and Southern Steam Transportation Co. are on
a strike for an increase in wages from $35 to
$40 per month. This occurred some days lago.
Tho Company determined not to accede to the
demand, and hired no fewer than five sets OF
hands, but az soon as set was hired the strikers
went to work and by threats or persuasions in
duced the newly engaged hands not to work.
In this way vessel failed to get away on her
appointed time and only did get off by calling Oh
the police for protection, and taking new hands
on board from the east side of the Basin before
the fact became known to the strikers. Yesterday
the steamer Raleigh was expected to arrive in
port, and large crowd of the strikers and their
friends were gathered at the foot Of Hill street,
with intent to get the hands on the Raleigh to
strike, but she did not arrive, and probably will
not until Mon lay.
On Thursday the blacksmiths "helpers' in the
Northern Central Railway shops at Mount ver-
non quit work, and have not yet resumed. The
strike was occasioned by the refusal Of the
s.hepers" to make the fires in the morning be-
fore work begins, without extra compensation.

Funerals, Yesterday.

AN UNUSUALLY LIVELY TINE WITH THE UNDER

Yesterday WAS an unusually lively time among
the undertakers and liverymen. Eleven funerals
took place during the day-more, perhaps, than
in any ono previous day i'll the memory of any Of
our oldest citizens, unless it was during the pre-
valence of some fatal epidemic. OF these, the
livery firm of Jno. Kirkman Il Son supplied the
carriages for nine, but broke down on the tenth,
they having filled something like thirty private
orders besides. All the liveries in town, how
ever, were drained Of their carriages, and many
private ones were brought into requistion. or
the undertakers, Giles had three burials, Mitch
ell three, Russell two, z. u B. Foreman one Fox
one, and there was one funeral in which we
were unable to ascertain the name OF the under
taker Six interments were made in the Will
mington & Brandywine cemetery, two in the
Catholic and one at st. Josephs. One Of the
funerals came down from Philadelphia ; the re-
mainder were Of our own citizens.

The Posto1ice Department was advised to-day
that the Marietta, Pttsburg and Cleveland Rail
road Company had refused to carry the mails
over its line between Marietta and Canal, Dover,
Ohio, because the Postmaster would not increase
it's pay for tho service beyond what
the law allows. The compensation was
recently adjusted on this road by the weights of
the mails and car space used, precisely as the
law allows, and no moro can be lawfully paid.
Information TO this effect vas conveyed to the
railroad officials. By this act of the Company
populous country, over one hundred miles in ex-

is stated at and believed by the Postoffico De-
