considerable excitement of manner.

fifteen, with the air of one half con-

You did? SO imagined. What
on earth possesses you to run to the
door every time the bell rings, Emily?
Servants answer bells, not young
ladies. Pray let us have an end to
this. Wen be the talk of the whole

time, say in about thirty-six hours, twenty
four inches of rain fell, and as this was accom-

add that the damage to crops Of all kinds is

fences, trees, and in some instances buildings,

likewise greatly injured

The perils incidental to steamboat navi-
CATION do not cease to threaten when the
vessel is apparently safely moored to her
dock, but seem to be overshadowing her
wherever she is placed. We do
not suppose that any satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION will ever be given as to the
cause Of the fire that destroyed the 9. III.
Northam yesterday morning, and can only
point to the occurrence as one that may prove
by no means uncommon unless steam
ship owners and their employees
profit by this costly lesson. There
is no structure which comes from
the artifcers' hands that furnishes
reader and better prepared food for the
flames than one of our so-called "palace
steamers. The parts of the vessel are
most artistically arranged for burning
rapidly, and consequently for reduc-
ing the chances of escape for those
who may be on board. The loss
of life attending the burning of the
Northam is deplorable, but the unfortunate
men who were smothered by the thick
smoke that issued from the ''glory hole"
were probably in some way responsible for
the origin OF the fire. Smoking be-
tween decks is always dangerous, but
on board "palace steamer" it is
simply suicidal act. We do not say that
these men were smoking and 50 set their
sleeping quarters on fire, but it is
not improbable that they were, and
have paid the dreadful penalty of
their carelessness The efforts of the fire.
men were not effectual in stopping the
progress of the flames, because no ono
seems to have thought of scuttling the
steamer before the fire injured her hull. If
this had been done much of her might have
been saved. A few we'll directed blows of
On axe would have admitted more water

could throw into her.
