An i'll advised publication was made
By the Leader last evening o. the embsr-

well received, and business will be con-

Admiral Trenchsrd, in the United States
steamer PowhattaD, with the other YES

United States steamer Huron, arrived OF
Kitty Bank At daylight Sunday. The
Fortune went down to Body Island
strewing the beach, with the wreck.
Captain Sto1dsrd, IN the Swatara, fol-
lowed the beach down and found the
wreck about eight O'Clock this morning.
The sea was running very high, and
there was no possibility Of landing the sig
nal officers he sent 10 the Swatara. In his
way communication was had with the
shore, and we learned that one hundred
and fourteen were drowned and but
thirty saved, OF whom four were officers.
Admiral Trenchsrd then ordered the
SwatsTa TO remain and bury the dead
when a landing could be made with
safety. Captain Stoddard remained to
wreck the vessel. The POwhattsn lett

 Those who have seen the work, pro- nounce it to be beautiful, and are perfect ly delighted with it. There is an inscrip- ton over the chancel window, which leads: "The Lord is my Shepherd, in him will trust" To the right and left of the chancel, over the doors leading to the vestry and choir rooms, are the words: "Be thou faithful unto death, and 1 will give thee crown of life !" Between the doors circling the arch to the chaneel, which extends high up, al most to the ceiling, are the words: Be hold He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him.
