The stestier"AVawasset, on her regular trip down the. river from Washington, caught Cure and was totally destroyed. The own ers of the steamer 'were culpably negli gent in providing boats, there being but two on the vessel. There were over one hundred passengers on the Wawasset, and in the eAcitetnent and terror that ensued between forty and fifty 'met their death, either in the flames or the water. Altho' the accounts of this shocking disaster are meagre, they give some indications of , the heartrending scenes on the doomed steam er whilst men, women, and children were being consumed in the , flames, or escap ing ftom them only to meet their doom in the waters of the Potomac:. The loss of life is proportionately terrible, and the fig ures are not likely to be decreased by a ny future developments. WAsramTeaq, August 11.—The origin of-the-fire-on—the -Wawaset —has -not—yet been discovered. A thorough investigation will'.l9o:at once made. Capt. Wood, how soever was relieved of air blame .b the Jury of Inquest, and heroism exhibited by his efforts to save the fated passengers, begets on all hands the highest praise. The whole number of officers and crew did• their duty nobly. The latest—dis= pirates foot up the number of thTlost at about seventy, most of whom are not identified. The boat was burnt within twenty-five minutes after the fire was dis covered,_ and_the_heart rending scenes which followed, the shrieks of the women and children, mingled with the cracking timbers, presented a scene which shocks the hardest heart, and draws a, tear of sympathy from every one WILL DAVIS; BE HUNG.—Although the jury which tried Davis for the mur der of Lynn, in Carroll county, found him ' ' I first de. ree and the Court ]ast week pronounced the sentence rf death upon him, we doubt whether Davis will ever be hung. A legal and compe tent witness whose evidence it is claimed would have gone very far to acquit Davis of the crime charged against him, was not ermined to testiffili — the caso. Excel). tions were taken by the counsel of Davis to the ruling of the Court and the case was carried to the Court of appeals where, it is understood, that two of the Judges were of the opinion that the evidence of the witness referred to should have been admitted, but they being a minority of the Court, the ruling of the Court below was nevertheless affirmed, and in accord ance therewith the sentence of death was pronounced. The verdict of the common sense of mankind is, that Davis was enti tled to the evidence of the excluded wit ness, and the action of two of the Judges of the Court of appeals goes far to strength en and confirm this vadict and proves that Davis is at least entitled to the bene fit of the doubt which has thus arisen as to the legality and correctness of the pro ceedings in legality case. Under these cir cu-nstanees we doubt whether Governor Whyte will permit the execution of Da vis.—Frederick Union. • A LIVING MAN CONFINED IN AN ICY Tomn.—The Fort Wayne (Ind.) Gazette, of July 11, says :—One of the saddest cases of death under terrible circumstances we have lately encountered was brought to our notice yesterday evening. Mrs. R. P. Mild:, of Kalamazoo, Mich., road master on the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railway, died under very remarkable circumstances. Last Monday, while giv ing some directions to the groom in atten dance on the horses, he suddenly dropped, and, as was ,supposed, expired. The weather being warm, the body was packed in ice and brought to this city en route to Valpairaso; Ind., for interment. Arriv ing at the destination, where full prepara tionslad been made for the funeral, the friends and relatives were thunderstruck to find evident signs of life about the body. It perspired freely. The funeral was of course delayed, and yesterday afternoon blood flowed freely. Restoratives were applied, but without effect, and R. P. Mink is now a dead man, but it is past question that he was confined to his icy tomb while life was still abundant, as the fact of having so well withstood the awful confinement attests. Its,.The city of Portland, Maine, has been visited by another destructive confla gration. Five years ago a half dozen squares, comprising nearly the whole of the business portion of the city, were laid in ashes. The fire on Saturday was con fined to the harbor and wharves, so that the destruction of baildings was not so great, bat the loss estimated in dollars and cents is immense. Three splendid, steamers, the Montreal of Boston, the Car lotta of Halifax, and Dirigo of New York, were burned, and a portion of the cargo which each of them was discharging when the fire broke out. A grain elevator and several large warehouses were barned ; to gether with many tons of valuable freight which was lying on the wharves waiting shipment. Three women employed on the Dirigo were drowned. The entire loss is estimated at $600,000, which is partly covered by insurance.

SIGNING THE DECLARATION.—The fol lowing gossip about the Pealaration . of IndeOndence is from Wood's Household Magazine, and is by:Rev. J. B. Wakely : : "In looking at the signatures, not one is wtitten with a trembling hand except Stephen Hopkins'. It was not fear that made him tremble, for he was as true a patriot as any of them, but he was afflict ed with the palsy. But one of the residences of the signers is attached to his name, and that is Chas. Carroll. •It is said that some one was ;looking over his shoulder when he wrote his name, and said to him, "There are several of your name, and if we _are no-- successful they will not. know whom ,to arrest." He immediately wrote "of Car . - rolton," as much as to say, if there is re proach connected with 'this, I wish ;to bear my share ; if there is danger, I am ready to face it..; There was genuine pa triotism. .__lt_was_ratheramusing,afterthey_had_ signed their names, to hear Benj.

They all sleep in honored graves A MYSTERY SOLVED.—The murder of the aged Mcßride by a brakesman near Williamsport, Pa., has 'been announced through our columns. The life of the murdered man was involved in a mystery which is about to be cleared up. A few years ago it appears one Hugh Mcßride, blind of one eye, wits admitted into the asylum at Scranton, Pa. He was illiter ate and knew nothing of the cold blood ed affair until it was read to him a few days ago. He recognized the principal character in the tragedy as his brother who emigrated from Ireland some • forty years ago. In conversation with.the dis trict Attorney, he stated his Lather Harry Mcßride was married twice. By his first wife he had two children, named: John and Mary ; the result of the second mar riage was* family of nine children, Hugh being the youngest. Shortly after the birth of Hugh his father moved to anoth er part of Ireland, leaving John and Ma ry at the old homestead. Not long after the removal John wrote his intention of going to Anierica. The - next they heard of him be AV as in Williamsport, since then nothing was heard of him, and they had come to' the conclusion that he was mar ried and cared nothing for his step-broth ers! The Attorney is inclined to believe that Hugh is the brother•of the murdered man. The deceased left a considerable amount, and if the relationship can be es tablished, the State will have to relin quish all claim to it. This is another chapter in human talks showing the dif ferent trials and vicissitudes thro which we have to pass on life's arena, and how often do we realize the maxim. "truth is stranger than fiction." ..Some jokers near Brighton Station, Tennessee, conceived it to be a fine joke to pour turpentine over a sleeping negro and set it on fire. The perverse individ ual disappointted these facetious gentle- men by dying, and the sad necessity was imposed on them of running away from the scene of their little pleasantry.. The negroes of the country would have made a summary end of them, but unfortunate ly they are out of reach. The perverse ness of colored people who can't endure a small joke like this is one of the greatest impediments to the reconstruction of the South.

ME CROPS FOR 1873.—The Philadel- irom all sections of the country, says that the,prospects for wheat and other- grains were never better in Wisconsin than.at the pressnt time. In Minnesota like results are reported, and also in lowa. In all the Northwest these will be an average yield of wheat. In this State that point has been advanced upon. The same may •• • • tad Ohio. The corn crop will be less than the average to the acre planted in all the States except Ar kansas, Florida, Minnesota and W. Vir ginia—Minnesota and West Virginia be ing the only States where the crop will be increased. The late rains may augment the yield this season, but not in a heavy degree. The potato crop is estimated to be above the average, , having increased hi about two-thirds of the States. The drought was disastrous in some States, but with good weather henceforth the farmers hope to gain much apparently lost ground. The return of fruit will be only partial in its success. Of apples and pears the yield will be small in this section—So limited as to amount to nothing in the income of the farmer. In Ohio and some parts of New York, however, there Will be a full crop of these fruits. The peach crop will be abundantly remunerative, notwith standing the croaking of growers of this article of produce. The grape crop was more • disastrouslyairected in California than anywhere else, and the yield there will not probably be more than 51 per cent. The Western States, lying east of the Rocky• Mountain, report favorably, Nebraska making a large increase. the Whole, the crops of the country are such as to reward, in a proper manner, the labors of all legitimately engaged in raising and- getting them to market. If speculators and middle-men have discus sed some articles and are bitten, that is their misfortune, at which neither produ cer nor consumer will grieve. A SENSIBLE Don LAw.---The Michigan Legislature, at its last session, passed a sensible deg law. From the Troy City Chronicle we copy the law as follows: Every person who owns a dog ETNA procure a license therefor from' the City or Township clerk' where he residts, which license expires on the Ist of the following April; and every dog licensed shall wear a collar, upon which shall be stamped the owner's name and the. number of the li cense., The the to be paid is $1 for a male dog and $3 for a female dog. A provision is made for pay ing damages for the destruc tion of sheep out of the fund made up of fees, and that the balance goes to the schools of the township. It is also provi ded that whoever shall keep a dog without license, shall forfeit $lO, with, cost of recovery thmeof. It is also provided that any person may. and it is matlo the duty of every police officer and constable to kill any and all dogs going at large not licensed and collared as above described, and such officers ,are to be allowed fifty cents for each dog so killed' them. . (ZuctsE.—Live out of doors as much as you can. It is the place for man to be. It is good for the health. A distinguised physician was in the habit of saying, However bad the air may be out ofdoors, it is always worse in the house. It is good for the temper. People. who are always shut up in a house are apt to grow fretful and peevish. They are prone to acquire narrow views of things, and to worry over trials not worth considering. It is good for the whole character--for strength, hope, patience and fortitude. It expands and softens one's nature, and makes us more charitable. XBOO bushels of huckelberries were shipped in one day from Benfer Station, on the. Lewistown and Sunbury railroad.
