The Baltimore Sun of yesterday says:
at s:45 o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing the Atlantic Transport steamer
Knight Companion. Captain Pain, was
run into inside the Canes by the
schooner William G. Wickham. bound
from Philadelphia for Fernandina. The
steamer had taken her pilot and was
about four miles inside the Capcs when
the schooner struck the steamer on the
bluff of the starbonrd bow. AS she fell
off the jibboom OF the Wfcteham bent
the steamers open deck rail abaft the
main rigging The Wickham was
towed TO Newport News with jibboon
and jib gone. The Knight Companion
arrived here the same night"
This account differs very materially
from the statements made by the cap
tain OF the Wickham and the master OF
the tug which towed her In to Newport
News. According to both or them this
WlclSham was becalmed and 1t was
clear weather. There will probably be
legal proceedings to follow.

you can tell how many have been made
and sold. There might be fifty pianos
OF the same make in your neighborhood,
and yet that piano may have no stand

factory claims to have been in business
for forty-iive years and YOU look into
one OF their pianos and find there has
been but $1,000 OF them made and sold
during that time. what does that prove ?
1t proves that about 800 OF these pianos
have been made and sold each year, or
less than ten pianos to each State.
Now IL any manufacturer cannot find
