Northern Pacific Nomenclature.

The recent openin,, Of the Northern
Pacific railroad suggests some curious
comparisons in nomenclature. Five
great divisions of northwestern terri
tory traversed by the Northern Pacific
railroad are singularly fortunate in
their names. Minnesota. Dakota,
Montana, and Idaho, are indigenous
words, musical in sound, and poetic in
significance; and while the noble
mountains of the Cascade range would
have supplied many ali indian name
to complete the series, it is eminently
proper that the most remote quarter
of the union should bear witness to
the patriotic reverence for Washing
ton. The long chain Of projected
towns and ambitious villages within
these great territorial divisions
stretching from Lake Superior to the
Pacific. presents in the main 2 monot.

names Poverty of invention and
lack of Imagination are attested by
gratuitous imitation such as New Chi

Later Reports.

HALIFAX, August 3l.--The followins
later reports of the damage 20 shipping by
the gale have been received: Schooner
Mary, total wreck at Manandierof; schoon
er Stetter, driven ashore at Ariachit anG
bilged, and schooner Alice L. NJ. Crendis
reported ashore at Margaree, Cape Bre-
ton; schooner Mary Z. Banks, ashore al
Lardoise; schooner Foaming Billow
ashore at Sheet Harbor, but likely to be
got off; schooner Queen of the Fleet, from
Labrador bound for Lunenburg, reported
ashore at Englishtown. Cape Breton
schooner j. b. Delliven, went ashore al
Scatterie Island, Cape Breton, but will
probably be got off; brigantine Annie ia
maica, for Montreal, forsy-six days out,
reported lat Sidney, Cape Breton, in a
leaking condition. The steamer Bryn-
glas, from Pensacola for Barrow, ar
rived to-day for coal, and reports that
she felt the storm very severely
from . o'clock Wednesday evening to day
light the following morning. The wind
blew with terrific force, and, while the
engines were at full speed, to try to keep
the ship up to the wind, tie feed-pipe Of
one OF the boilers burst, and the steam
had to be shut off. With the assistance of
sails she was kept up to the wind till the
engines were got to work again, with the
use OF one boiler. She bore up for this
port. The accident to the boiler will not
detain the steamer here. A telegram from
Cow Bay, Cape Breton, represents that the
gale was fearful there. The American brig
Atlas and the schooners Edward johnson
and Volunteer were driven ashore, and
all except the Edward Johnson were prob
ably total wrecks. The Volunteer, which
was loaded with coal, had the bottom
knocked out. The schooner Ripple, with
200 quintals of fish, sank at her dock.
Other small craft were wrecked, but no
lives were lost.

A JEALOUS HUSBAND CUTS HIS WIFE LITER
ALLY TO PIECES.
On the plantation of Mr.. Clark Brewer,
at Scanlan's Landing, twenty miles below

kins stabbed his wife dozen times or
more on account of her infidelity to him.
The circumstances are as follows: John
Ransom, Archie Hawkins, the woman's
husband, and James Ragland started to
church. After going short distance Ran
som said he was sick and could go no fur
ther. Ragland and Hawkins proceeded Il
little further, when the suspicious Of
Hawkins got the better OF him, and he
announced his intention of going back
and see if everything at home was all
right. He got .as far as Ragland's
house, when he found enough to stop
him and arouse his feelings to such
an extent that a general battle and blood
shed seemed imminent. Mrs. Ragland,
Mrs. Hawkins and the "sick" John were
having high old time together. He let
it pass, however, until he got his wife safe
ly home, and then he began his deyilish
work She was literally stabbed from
head to foot. When first visited by Mr..
Brewer, Hawkins endeavored to mislead
him by exhibiting only slight cut on her
elbow, and had so terrified his wife that
she was afraid to tell him of her serious
condition, but Mr.. Brewer was not salts
fed, and examined for himself, with the
discovery above named.

ST. JoINs, \. F., August 31-From ar
rivals the past twenty-four hours from the
Grand Banks, intelligence of alarming dis
asters t. the fishing feet have been re-
ceived. IhesEsSst reliable and definite
news cors.es from the Gloucester schooner
Wachusett. She was anchored about
twenty miles southeast of Virgins, and
narrowly escaped the fury of the storm
and ran for land. While coming in she
passed through vast amount of wreckage,
indicating the destructive work of the
gale. The storm arose from the eastward
shortly after sunrise on Sunday last. A
heavy sea rapidly piled up and became
confused and choppy by the wind veering
to north-northeast. For thirty miles of
the schooners course wreckage was
encountered on every side. Many
dories were seen bottom up, and
oars, fish-boards and other material in
large quantities were passed from time to
time. One French fishing brig also lost
four dories, with all hands, The vessels
decks were swept, cables parted and an
chors lost. The general estimate based
upon the best information at present OBJ
tainable puts the loss from sixty to eighty
souls, while the drainage to the fleet is in
calculable. At the time the gale sprang
up there were, it is assumed, 2000 dories
away at their travels and it will be for
