PHILADELPHIA, March 13.
s last act in cfae eventful history of Dr.
•was consummated yesterday. His
has been deposited in the earth of his
e city, honored as no merely private cit
ever honored before. The scene was
imWffcsMve in an unprecedented degree. The
ittfhSc buildings were draped in sable, the
I of the city tolled, the ilags of the ship
vero at half-mast, the sounds of muffled
i were heard in the streets, and an im
i concourse of sorrowing citizens, mili
cnipanies and public associations thron
join in the funeral cortege. The corpse
one amid these impressive evidences of
moral sympathy and grief, iirst to the
i, where the services and sermon of the
HBIK W. .Shields added tu the solemnity of
tension. and thence to the cemetery at
J®xt to tlio tomb of our gallant hero, the
HlOtt touching memorials of his adventurous
Kiidfpoble life now left with us are the Loaf,
riflsrand a portion of the sled which accotn
panted him in his Arctic voyage. These are
.11 this city, and bear fearful testimony to the
iajtedts &nd struggles attending the discovery
if thi Open Polar ' t is little to say that

the pea: Is and rubies of affection.

hat the piussenger cars were raised up 1

on, and left Toronto at 4 o'clock yesterday
ifwrnoon The number of passengers was
•stirastod at from 75 to 100, of whom only
15 were laken alive from the wreck, and of
these 5 (have since died. The water in the
panal if T Let deep, and nearly all those not
mimedpt' ly killed were drowned. The en
pne and tender with the engineer and fire
man wtft. pitched headlong into the canal,
and are [buried 20 feet below the turfacc. —
Ihe ear and two passenger car. arc
eompl3y shattered, and one of the latter
turned I)' ; torn side upward and nearly sub
merged.
When iur informant ar/ned this morning
the pai P<. - were still busy in extricating the
the v.'-it. In
joining the station-house at Hamilton, about
fifty or sixty corpses of men, women and
children were lying on the floor. No inqui
ry into the cause of the accident had yet
been held. Most of the passengers were
from Hamilton. Toronto and the adjoining
towns. Samuel Zimmerman of Niagara Falls,
Isaac Buchanan of Hamilton, N ice President
of the Bond, and Capt. Twokey, a popular
commander on Lake Ontario, are among the
victims. Only one of the lady passengers
was saved, and she was much cut and bruis
ed. A German lad in the hind car seeing the
conductor hastily retreating to the back door,
took alarm and followed him, and be, the
conductor, and three others were the only
ones who escaped with trilling injuries.
[Mr. Zimmerman was a native of Hunting
don county, and formerly on the Pa. canal.]
MOB I.AW IN NEBRASKA.
On AH A, Nebraska Territory, Feb. 21. We
are under the government of a Vigilance
Committee. Not for the general purpose of
reform in administration, but for the vindica
tion of squatter sovereignty. Claims have
been "jumped"' contrary to " the code," and
several "jumpers" have already been tried,
and forced to withdraw their " filing."
Our streets are filled with citizens armed
with rifles and muskets. Our best men are
heart and soul in the movement. This is to
protect the three hundred and twenty acre
claims. 1 was yesterday witness to the de
struction of a jumper's cabin. The army is
again under arms to-day. No examples have
yet been made: but should any offer resis
tance, I shall nut be surprised at any tiling in
the way of punishment.
The surrounding towns have sent delega
tions tov- mass meeting, and offered assistance
and support. Law reigns supreme. Itisthe
law of protection t<r rights acquired by first
settlement, well understood by our venerable
Secretary of State, and which is founded cu
ttle necessity of forming society and civiliza
tion. On every tother subject \v are quiet
and peaceable.
Children Stolen by Indians and Hears.
—Some months since the Western papers
gave a thrilling account of tlie loss of a child
which had been carried oil" hv a bear near
Manitowoc. No traces of the child have
been discovered, and the excitement was
about dying away, when on Wednesday
o{ last week, in the sam* locality, a .Mr.
Woodward, living near Sand Bay, had
some difficulty with an Indian whom he
had fed nearly every day during the past
winter, and kicked him out of doors. I'he
next day his little girl, three years of age,
was standing near the house, when an In
dian sprang out of the thicket, clasped her
in his arms, and hounded avvav through
the underbush. Pursuit was commenced
immediately, but up to Saturday without
success, though information bad been re
ceived which, it was hoped, would lead to
the recovery of the child—an Indian and a
squaw having been seen the day after the
abduction carrying a child which was
close I v v. rapped in a blanket, and was cry
ing bitterly.
.7 Malignant li fe. —A respectable Vir
ginia farmer, named Babb, and his son
were arrested in Petersburg, \ a., on Mon

in selling him lard with stones embedded
in the centre of lite firkins. It was in ev
