Admiral Trenchard, in the United
States steamer PoWhaltan with other
vessels, were dispatched 10 the wreck oi
the Uniled States steamer Huron, and ar.
rived OF Kitty Hawk at daylight, Sun.
day. The Fortune went down to Body
Island looking for the wreck. Captain
StOddard, in the Bataer, followed the
beach down and found the wreck about
3 A. N. The sea was running very high,
and there was no possibility Of landing.
Signal officers were sent to the. Bataer,
and IN this way communication was had
with the shore, and We learned that ia
were drowned and but 30 saved, Of whom
four were officers. Admiral Trenchard
then ordered the SWartora to remain and
bury the dead, when the landing could
be made with safety. Capt. Stoddard
remained with the wrecked vessel. The
Powhattan left for Hampton Roads al
P. N. and anchored at midnight.
STATEMENT OF THE CREW.
NORFOLK, November 26.-The suryi.
yors Of the Huron have arrived here
Several seamen interviewed make the
following statement:
The vessel was heading her course
southeast, the wind blowing strong from
the southeast. Steaming along there was
no event 70 excite apprehensionS OF any
danger. Master W. J. French had The
deck. She had sighted and passed Cur.
rituck light, and orders we're given to
keep a sharp lookout for the Body
Island light. At l:4O o'clock the vessel
struck, when all hands rushed on deck
Capt Ryan and officers acted promptly.
The crew responded with alacrity. The
surf VISA terrific. Shortly after the vessel
struck boat was lowered, but ut once
swamped. The vessel turned broadsiie to
the sea, which made a clean breach over
her, sweeping everything from the decks
and tearing the boats from the dayits.
Many Reamen and officers were washed
overheard aud several killed by pieces Of
the wreck. Capt. Ryan and Lieut.. Sim.
mons were last seen together. The sea
struck the vessel and they we're swept
away. The vessel broke up fast, and the
surf became more and more furious, max.
ing it beyond human efforts 10 hold on.
II was dark and signals Of distress had
been made, but no response was received.
No one knew where they were, and all
that did get ashore were washed there BY
the snri. The cause OF the wreck is al.
tribnted TO the local attraction OF the
compass and the strong current, which
made the vessel go farther to the south
than the compass course Indicated.

EXTREMES OF HEAT AND COLD.

In climate subject to the sudden and
severe changes so frequent in ours, it is
no wonder that multitudes in every COM
munity are afflicted with Catarrh, Bron-
chitis, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and other
such chronic ailments. But if all who
are thus suffering were acquainted with a
reliable remedy for such diseases, our
valuable and uncertain climate would lose
half its ierrors for those inheriting deli
cate constitutions, or enfeeblsd by disease
Such remedy has been discovered in the
SEVEN SEALs OR GOLDEN WONDER, which
has been used with singular success by
thousands OF sufferers from diseases pro-
duced by exposure, and sudden changes
in the atmosphere, and others that can
be induced to try it, will assurdly experi>
ence the same benefit. This purely vega
table preparation is certain cure for pains
and aches, external or internal, acute or
chronic, and as pain destroyer is with
out a single successful rival.

A Return 60 First Lave.

About o year ago, Eelson Emery sad
his wife, living in the vicinity Of Crom
well, had some matrimonial infelicitie'
which ended in the abandonment of the
husband by the wife, who returned to her
father, W. N. Martin, taking with her
their only child, bright, intelligent liz
tie boy OF two summers.
Right here it is probably proper to add
that Mr.. Martin opposed the match,
and his daughter eloped with Mr.. Emery
to Tennessee. and they were married
whenshe was only fourteen years oil.
In due time q suit for divorce was in.
stituted by the wife but by some mistake
it was dismissed at the last term Of our
Circuit Court
The father was permitted to visit his
child occasionally and finally induced the
mothers to let him take It lone with
him TO stay awhile, promising to return
it soon. This he failed and refused to
do. The mother applied to his honor,
W. F. Gregory, County Judge, for n writ
OF habaes corpus which was issued and
Mr. Emery appeared at the time but did
not bring the child, saying that it was
sick. The Judge made an order giving
the child over TO its mother temporarily
and continued the case 10 last Friday,
when the parties again appeared for a
final trial of the question who should re-
tain control OF the child"
The evidence Was all heard aud Satur'
day while the lawyers were giving the
finishing touches and the Judge seemed
in deep solemnity in regard to correct de-
cision Of the cause. what was the surprise
to see the parties call a halt to the
court and state that they had agreed to
return to their first love.
Judge Gregory said as the case had
been appealed to higher tribunal than
his, he would vacate the chair and dis.
miss the proceedings without a decision
They lcft for home seemingly very happy.
May they never have cause 10 regret this
step. is our wish.
During the progress OF the trial, some
evidence was introduced tending to show
that the wife leaving her husband and
bringing suit for divorce &c, had been
at the instance OF her father, who had
begged, hired and persuaded her TO act
thus:
