Two meu were pos:od on the jbboom, and it
wss one OF these who gave wsroiog. bu. too late
to prevent collision. The vessel crashed into

the top Of her masts. Fortunately, the jibboom
struck first and acted as fender Tho result
was tho total destruction CT tho spar snd the
loss of twelve fec: of the sharp PROV Of tho
Flaml0go. The reverse o1gnes cleared tho yes
sci, and it Was found that very little water was
being made, owing to The fact that tho Flsm.
lingo was intended to bavo raining power 10
action, and her PROV was greatly heightened
aud strengthened. ST. Johns was but ten
miles distance, apd that port was made without
difficulty. At later season of the year such
collision would probably have been attended
With complete destruction to the steamer and
all on board, but the icebergs now sailing along
the coast of Northumberland arc hard AID o..

The new depot at La Crosse, was formally
opened to the public February %.
There was fearful runaway in Beloit the
other day, by which five persons were more

La Crosse is agitated over the appearance

The Alexion Brothers hospital in Oshkosh

son why he should be President. We suppose
the Boston lobbyist was paid to write him
up for the Northern palate, and the ''Sher-
man Club of Cincinnati" doubtless sends
forth another issue, by the same author for
Southern consumption.
It seems probable that this distinguished
biographer has succeeded in killing his man.
Since sending forth his effusion John Sher-
man has politically died. Even the bribed
editorial cur in st. Paul, who for an assay
commissionership sold himself to Sherman,
is forced to admit that he is out of the
Presidential race. Having for nearly forty
years been fastened to the public crib, he
seems about to relax his grasp, and his cold
blooded propensities will send him into re-
tirement without friend to regret his de-
parture. Even the disreputable Ben: Perley
Poore cares nothing for him save for the
ducats extracted from his pocket. A soulless
politician, an overrated man and tool of
Wall street, it is well that his public career
is rapidly drawing to close.

On Tuesday last Senator David Davis, {

On Tuesday last Senator David Davis, OF
Illinois, offered q resolution for the appoint
ment of q committee to ascertain the terms
on which the State of Illinois will cede to the
United States the Illinois and Michigan
canal. We do not believe the people of the
United States want to purchase the ditch in
question on any terms. 1t has already cost
the government and the State of Illinois
more. than the value of the entire product
transported over its muddy bosom, including
the value of the scows which have been used
for transportation purposes. Its only
value has been as sewer to convey the filth
of Chicago through the State generally, and
disseminate the seeds of disease broadcast.
For the purposes of navigation it is abso-
lutely useless, for no craft drawing more
water than a mud scow can float on its sur
face
