= collision during the fog. We never lost a
life on any of our steamers before.
Superintendent of foreign mails, Dwight
Lawrence, said the only steamer which left
this port recently with any large consign-
ment Of French letters for Havana via New
York, was the City Of Vera Cruz, which
sailed August s5, just in time to encounter
the hurricane of the 2Sth in the Florida
Straits. Most of the passengers were for
eigners. The mails were recovered and
brought here yesterday, and will be forward
ed to points whence they can be transmitted
to their destination. Several parties are
looking out for the remains of the lost, and
engaged in recovering property washed
ashore.
The lost steamer City of Vera Cruz. had
50 passengers.

The Political Pulse at Fairfield.

A correspondent in Fairfield writes The
best joke of the campaign occurred here
Thursday. Under the supervision of Mr..
Francis Kenrick wire was stretched across
the street on which the temperance flag $50
called was to be at the rally which Joshua Nye
addressed last night. During the process of
fastening the wire in place, two fellows in the
employ of Kenrick, who were stationed on
top of Gilbreth Block, were seen to step
round behind chimney. take a bottle from
their pocket and drink. They probably drank
to the success of the temperance movement
as represented by Josh Nye. Both the young
men are noted characters in our village. One
of them, who had a drunken row on the
streen only two weeks ago, was the fellow
that put up the posters for a temperance
rally. Temperance indeed! The movement
here is in the hands of democrats. greenback-
ers and rummies. Men noted for their drink
ing habits were the largest subscribers to the
fund to buy the flag. The movement will not
get single republican vote from Fairfield.
The voters of Fairfield are too smart to be
deceived by anything Of the kind, and Mr.
Nye's native town will repudiate him as il
has her Browns and Bunkers.

the steamer City of Vera Cruz, of the Mexi-

25th, for Havana and Vera Cruz, went down
in the hurricane which has recently
strewed our coast with wrecks. Portions Of
the mail carried by her were washed ashore
yesterday. some miles south of st. Angus
tine. A large steamer supposed 10 be the
Vera Cruz, passed the brig Caroline Eddy,
then sixty miles from the coast off St. Au-
gustine. This brig was soon after struck by
hurricane and wrecked drifting on the
beach near the place where the lost letters
were discovered. At the time the steamer
was sighted, she was headed south. The
wind was blowing very hard. A gale was
rising. The City Of Very Cruz must have
been struck by the hurricane, and probably
foundered Saturday night or Sunday morn

Eddy have come ashore since the gale, near
here.

The Mob Hill Ball.

The ball of the Mob Bill Hose Company
was given at the new school house last
evening, and the Killers certainly have
reason to feel proud of their success, for it
was one Of the most successful balls we
have yet attended. Everything apparently
favored the company. The night was clear
and bracing, and they had the use of a
building that could not have been sur
passed for ball purposes. Among the large
number in attendance were many whose
faces we never saw in ball room before,
and they were probably induced to go be-
cause the children desired to take part in
the dedication ceremonies and inspect the
building in which they would spend so
many hours in the future. Jack Perry and
Gid Scanland assumed charge of the
affair, and were voted the handsomest
men in the room. Judge Baily delivered
the dedication address, which will be found
elsewhere. The supper-room was under
the direction of Spiro Gregovich, of the
French Rotisserie, and its convenient loca-
ton was a source of satisfaction to all pres
emit. Dancing was kept up until a late
hour this morning, when those present
sought their homes, fully convinced that
they had entered upon the new year auspi-
ciously.
