A Great River Discovered.

Lieutenant Stone, who went upon the
last trip of the revenue steamer Corwin,
for the purpose of distributing among
Tchuckchee Indians of Alaska $4,000
worth Of presents, given them by the Gov
eminent in recognition of shelter and food
afforded the officers and crew of the steam
er Rogers, burned 1851, reports the DIS
covery of an immense river, hitherto I'M
known.
Geographer's river had been vaguely
spoken of by Indians to former explorers,
and Stone, being compelled to await the
return trip of the Corwin, determined to
see if there was anything in it. Accom-
panied by one attendant and an interpre-
ter, he proceeded inland from Hotham In
let in south-easterly direction, until he
struck what he believed TO be the mysteri-
Gus river. He traced it to its mouth 4 dis
lance of about fifteen miles where he saw
such immense pieces Of floating timber rs
to satisfy him it must have been of I'M
mense size. He retraced his steps dis
lance of thirty miles, where he encounter
ed a native, from whom he learned that to
reach the head waters of the unknown
stream would take several months. The
Indians told him they came down it dis
lance of 800 miles to meet fur traders,
and that the river went up higher than
that. Having no time to go further Stone
returned. His opinion, as stated by those
on the Corwin, from whom this informa-
ton has been obtained, is that the discov-
cry of this river accounts for the large
amount of floating timber in the Arctic
that was popularity supposed came down
the Yukon. The Indians stated that the
river, in some places, was twenty miles
i'm width in the Arctic Circle; but in Au-
gust, when Stone was there, he found
flowers and vegetation not hitherto dis
covered in so high ATTITUDES. He has for.
warded his report to the Secretary of the
Navy, and hopes to come back and con-
tinue his explorations.

An attempt was made Tuesday night to
wreck passenger train at Glen's Run,
seven miles above Wheeling. The train
was running at the rate of sixty miles an
hour when the engine struck rail that
had been tied across the track. The loco
motive jumped into the air, but fortu-
natcly fell back on the rails. The rear
cars broke the obstruction, and the train
was uninjurcd. IL the train had been
thrown off the track it would have
plunged over an eDibankment into the
Ohio River, the road-bed being very mar
row at this point.

Music in the Air.

During our absence last week the Daily
Tribune was suppressed, as it were. Late
Saturday night the foreman of the newspa-
per room was notified by our vigilant and
law-vbserving sheriff that il the Tribune
was issued on Sunday morning everybody
concerned would be prosecuted. The gen
tleman in charge not being lawyer, and
no one with whom he could consult being
in reach at that late hour, thought the best
way to avoid trouble would be to heed the
warning, hence no paper was issued on
Sunday. 1t is needless to say that if we
had been in the city no attention would
have been paid to Mr.. Wagner's oficious-
ness, and we now notify him that this pa
per will be issued, as usual, next Sunday,
and If it offends his delicate moral sensi-
bility, he can put his threat into execution.
If he does, we promise there viii be Emusic
