ports falling in with the wreck of small vessel
called the COrtie. She was of American build.
and probably schooner rugged. Her masts had
been sawed off close to the decks, and. with all
her rigging, chains. anchor and boats. were all
gone. The mainsail, two sides of the cabin and
| the bulwarks were smashed in. as if by means OF
crOwbars Capt. DecOste reports that he was
convinced that the vessel had been boarded by
pirates and stripped. Her stern was sunk too
far under water to discover her name off there)
and port of register. The name Cortie that
could be seen, was on her starboard bow rail.
The wreck was passed when about forty-eight

The Batimoreans expect great things from
the extension Of the Virginia Midland railroad
from Danyiile, Va. to Spartanburg, s. C;
which extension the directors at their meet
ing Saturday decided to make. The immediate
objective Is Spartanburg, with a branch to
Charlotte. but the ultimate terminus Will be
Atlanta, Georgia. This line will, 1t Is expected.
not only take the place OF the unfinished Valley
railroad, but will give Baltimore through route
10 the south that VIA enable that city to defy
the competition Of New York and Phiiadelphia
equally with that OF Norfolk, Richmond, Gin.
cinnati and Louisville, and will bring no end OF
grist TO the commercial mill of Baltimore by
tapping the great cotton and tobacco regions
OF the south. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company are expected to furnish proper pro-
portion OF the money for the extension OF the
road

A state treasurer Is to be elected In Penn
sylvania this year, but very little interest Is
manifested In the event, even In that state. It
is singular and expensive policy which sepa-
rates single state officer from all the others
and elects him in an or-year. The election
costs as much as If an entire state ticket had to
be chosen. 1t ID true this plan may help to
keep the political pot boiling, but the indica-
tons are that the people of Pennsylvania are
not going TO march TO tie music of the politi-
Clans this year.

The New York Herald presents figures show
ing an alarming increase Of mortality In that
CITY, which increase, it maintains, is chiefly due
TO the filthy condition OF the streets. The death
rate OF the city for the first three months of
1850 was SOP; for the first three months of 1881
IL was . Jos, an increase of 2,30S. These figures
will, no DOUBT stir the peorIa OF that politician
ridden city TO an assertion OF their power. The
question OF street cleaning has now become one
