NEARLY five years ago the steamship
Germania, of the Lloyd Line, departed
from The Hague, bound for New York.
On board were over 1000 passengers
and highly valuable cargo. The
steamship never reached port. No
tidings of her were ever heard, and,
although given up for lost several years
ago, the particulars of her fate were
never known. The other afternoon.
while walking along the beach of
Hassler's Haven, southeast of Mel
bourne, Fla, Frank P. Hassler found
wine bottle lying on the sands. It
was almost covered with barnacles and
moss On picking it UP he found it
had been securely corked. Scraping
the Shiny moss off the bottle, two pieces
of paper were seen inside. The neck
of the bottle was broken off and the
papers withdrawn. One was blank
bill of lading of the steamer Germania,
Lloyd Line, printed in German. The
other paper was simply brown wrapping
paper, one side of which was covered
with writing in German, the characters
being almost illegible. After much
trouble the following translation was
made: "The steamship Germania is on
fire and sinking. Gale blowing and
all boats swamped. All hope is gone.

A VERY novel feature is to be intro
duced into the Asylum for the Blind
to be established in Pittsburg, Pa. DIR.
Campbell, of the Royal Institute for the
Blind in London, who is expected to be
in charge. of the asylum, aroused the
greatest interest in the worlds metrop-
oils when in September last he selected
class of blind pupils whom he had
taught to ride on the bicycle, and they,
with him in the lead, rode from Lon
don to Derby. The distance between
the two places is 1875 miles, and re-
markable fact in connection with the
feat was that no accident occurred on
the way. DR.. Campbell will follow out
his ideas on the subject when he takes
charge of the asylum at Pittsburg.

The report of Adjutant General
Drum places the numerical strength
of the New York State militia at 49,
532, the greatest in the Union. Penn
sylvania is second, with 1851, and
Ohio third, with 5,627. The fourth in
line is South Carolina, which has 5,305,
or only 800 less than Ohio, although
the unorganized militia of the two
States is $4,000 and 100000 respec-
lively. Massachusetts comes next,
with 5,162, but the six States might
lead to some random guessing, as it is
Georgia which surpasses Illinois by a
few hundred. Little New Jersey, al
ways an enthusiastic military State,
follows, having 4,184 organized mill
tia, against 4,219 of Illinois, with Chi
cago to help. The next is California.

Lehi IN the Front.

In pursuance of the governors proclama-
ton and the sympathy of the people of
Lehi, at a mass meeting, held at the court
house on Friday, June 9TH, a committee of
three was appointed as follows: Bishop
II. R. Cutler, Postmaster James HARDWOOD
and Band Leader a. NJ. Fox. The work of
the committee was to devise a way of real
izing aid for the sufferers by the late food
in Pennsylvania. The deliberations of the
committee, and the necessity for immedi-
ate action, resulted in the adoption of the
plan for a sacred concert to be given in the
Lehi tabernacle, Sunday evening, June 9Th,
at pm, TO be participated in by the Lehl
choir, the brass and silver bands and our
amateur vocalists; also appropriate
speeches, etc.
The hour and day named found the house
crowded, and after the usual preliminaries,
John Woodhouse read the story of the flood
as CLEANED from the various papers.
Miss Laura Webb and Miss Bell Glib
favored the audience with duet, which
was highly appreciated.
George Webb followed, showing the
weakness of man when the elements com
bine Then came a song by Miss Cutler, a
selection by the choir and remarks by Ed
win Evans.
Bishop Cutler said that he presumed the
people were now ready to manifest their
sympathy by their WORKS, ana announced
that hats would be sent around TO receive
from those who were now prepared to give,
and that tomorrow at Mr.. Harwood's
place of business further donations, in all
kinds of produce, would be received.
While the hats were being passed around
an organ solo was played by Miss Hannah
Pickle. Next, a song by Miss Laura
Webb; remarks by A. B. Anderson; sing
ing by the choir; remarks by Thomas
Fowler, on the present position of the suf
ferers in comparison with ourselves; next,
duet by Miss Katie Woodhouse and Miss
Lena Anderson.
Bishop Cutler arose and thanked the peo-
pie for their response to the calls OF human
ity, and also drew a comparison between
the horrors of war and an occurrence like
this, this seeming worse even than war,
as women and children were included with
the sufferers as well as men, while the de
struction of property was appalling and all
seemed TO make such scenes as this worse
even than war.
Coincidence for the dead and sympathy
for the living were ably expressed by all
the speakers, and according TO the circum-
stances Of those present, aid was given.
