Oyster nc hooner sunk.

1t was reported several days ago that
the oyster schooner Adamantine, from
the Potomac River for Baltimore, had
been lost in Chesapeake Bay. iester-
day her owner was informed that she
had been found sunk between Ridges
Straits and Smiths Island. The body
of her captain, Horace Baker, of Phila
delphia, was dashed to the topmast, the
nine men composing her crew being
lashed'to the deck, which was several
feet under water. The Inhabitants of
Smiths Island saw the wreck on the
I'd Of January last, but could not reach
it on account of the roughness of the
bay. 1t is not improbable that the
Adamantine was sunk by collision
with the wreck OF the steamer Express
which was seen near by.

The Portland daily press., 1879-07-15

The last words of Buzzell the murderer
were, ''The Lord be with me. This is hard,
hard; this is not like Jesus" Buzzell was
very brutal murderer; he killed the woman
whom for years he had professed to love, be-
cause she sued him for breach of promise of
marriage. Did he feel himself to be like the
suffering Saviour, prosecuted by inhuman
men, or was it protest against the barbara
ty of a race which Furnishes such crime
instead of saying $50 and sin no more?"
1t is a very curious thing that nearly all
murderers die in the apparent belief that
their sins are fully forgiven and that they
are martyrs. The punishment is therefore
futile, so far as its effect upon the criminal
is concerned; it is worse than futile in it's
effect upon the witnesses, and it does not
deter from crime, as the next murderer will
act without considering the penalty, as his
passion may dictate. There is one view of it
which is rational, that of the materialist,
who believes that mankind is evolving from
barbarism. He would destroy the wicked
as fast as possible to prevent the propagation
of hereditary viciousness. That is good
way if we have no higher responsibilities,
but the criminals should be done away with
in some less dramatic manner. If they
could be sent off to the hole in the sky
where Mr. Boutwell, wished to send Pres-
dent johnson, that would meet the case eX-
actly. Perhaps that is what the present
method does, but thereis an uncertainty about
it. If society has higher responsibilities it is
time these exhibitions should close and
course be adopted which will make it i'm
possible for the criminal to fancy himself a
martyr. The small moral effect upon the
beholders is finely shown by the French
play, in London, which represents the hor-
rid effects of drunkenness to audiences who
carry bottles of liquor to drink during the
performance. DOES the drunken tramp,
when he is refused assistance go away NUT
tering Il was an hungered and We gave me
no meat; 1 was thirsty and ye gave me no
drink; | was a stranger, and We took me not
IMP We know what he does if he is taken
in. If there are only women in the house
he attacks them with the carving knife. If
there are men about he contents himself
with stealing the horse and wagon in the
night. But the fact is that although we may
sometimes lack Christian charity, he almost
always goes away cursing, and it is only
when the death penalty is inflicted that he
fancies himself suffering saint.
