Piot/Immo. ROMANO OF TIM 84A. More About the PNewacific Island In the North . ' The San Francisco telegrams, a few days since, mentioned the fact of the discovery of an island, heretofore un known, in the North Pacific, together with the remains of a vessel, that must have been lost half a century since.— The California papers by the Ocean Queen brings us full particulars, and as it is a most interesting story, we quote in full: iyroin Messrs. Co' eman's Circular, May 28.1 On Sunday afternoon the schooner Caroline Mills returned to this port from an expedition undertaken last January, in the hope of recovering a portion of the lading of the bark Libelle, which was wrecked on Wake's Island, in the North Pacific, in March, 1886, and in which Madame Alma Bishop was at the time a passenger. On arriving at the scene, of the wreck; they found the Llbelle still holding together, but in such a position that it was impossible to approach her. She lay to the wind ward of the Island, and the reef was so heavy in her vicinity as to render the task of recovering any portion of her cargo almost hopeless. She had struck on a coral reef and the successive tides and storms had forced her almost bodi ly on to it. The grinding of the waves had knock ed her bottom out, and as the reef ran plumb down us sheer as a wall, and no soundings could be got at fifty or eighty fathoms, of course it, was useless to ex pect that any considerable portion of the quicksilver, which formed the most valuable part of her lading, could be res cued. A few flasks were found, and some chain cable and other iron, but the expedition was not a pecuniary success. The weather was very rough when the Mills arrived at the island, and after laying off and on for several days, and finding no abatement or prospect of abatement of the sea, the master, Capt. Nickols, decided to abandon the wreck, more especially as it became evident that it would speedily break up under the action of the rollers. Topping his boom, therefore, he made sail, and stood out to sea. Not having made a fortune by the Libelle, and being loath to re turn to port empty handed, the skipper now cast about for something to do, and somewhere to go. 1-le remembered that an island called Cornwallis Island was laid down (111 the chart, and thought he would hunt it up. He did so, finding it with some difficulty, and making the discovery, at the same time, that it was some forty miles from the spot laid down for it on the chart. [II so large an ocean, this error may seem slight to a landsman, who may possibly think that it matters little where these insignificant dots are loca ted, so that the full complement is given by the marine surveyors. It does not require an error of forty miles in the position of a rock, however, to wreck a passenger ship and send a thousand or so souls Into eternity at five minutes notice, and It Is difficult to account for the mistake in this instance. Leaving this point to be settled between Captain Nichols awl the draftsman of the chart, we will follow him Maher. Finding nothing on Cornwallis Island, he made sail for another of these coral rocks known as Sybilla, or Gaspar Nut Island, situated hi longitude Inn degrees :1 in mites east, and latitude 14 degrees 111 minutes north. 00 landing upon this Island, which Is formed entirely of coral end is only about K feet above the level of the sum Capt. Nichols was bill'. !Witted to find the befell strewn over with the wreck of IL VW4HOI of CODHRler able HiAlk, Mitt IL closer In vestlgatlon 'in no degree diminished hisestonishment, l'or It became evident that the wreck hail been east, away at katit ligollolllloll ago. 'Phu fragments scattered here and there were of teak, and the copper rud- der hands, and seine sheets frets the Lull were picked up. Judgingfront the size of Ihe timbers, the pieces of which lying around were all In excellent prey ervation, Captain Nichols supposes that 'the vessel was one of between four and live hundred tons. On proceeding further up the beach a place was found where the shipwrecked crew had evidently camped, and some faded and rotten sail-cloth showed that they had made a tent for themselves of the sails. Here the first clue to the identity of the lost vessel was found, .n the shape of a quarter-board bearing the ntune " Canton " deeply carved au tt. Near to this was the armorial shield which had surmouted the stern, and this was recognized by an old sall.d . at Honolulu as being identical with those used by the ships of the Old East lioia Company. It is surmounted by a crown, is oval in form, and the quarterings contain an inner shield, also quartered. The heraldic eru b loins emblazoned upon it mote the leopards of England, the elephant of the company, with various Either ciphers and devices. It is carved out of Norway pine, and was evidently .gilded and gaily painted, but the suns and rains of half a century have de spoiled it of its garish finery and left it a cracked, bleached, rotten and decayed memento of a geneneration no life of which exists to-day. In the vicinity of the camping place where this relic was discovered, were found also several spoons and platters of wood. it has been suggested that these are exactly similar to such as were com monly used by the Lascar sailors In the company's employ, and it is possible that the Canton was so manned, but when the frigidity of the climate in which she traded Is considered, it may be regarded as unfavorable to his view, it being well-known that Lascars, though making exgellent seamen in the tropics, become almost useless in cold weather. The experience of every sea captain who has doubled Cape Horn with a Lescar crew will verify this as sertion. Several old sea chests were strewn around, but they were empty, as were also the compass boxes of the lost vessel. No trace of writing or inscrip tion of any kind could be found by the people of the Mills, though the captain searched narrowly over every part of the beach where the wreck was lying. In the course of their Investigation the party came upon a very singular scene. `.ll)e frame of the main hatchway of the Canton had been cast up whole, and through the opening a tree had sprung up and attained its Inn growth ; and as it was as large as any treesin the Inlittid, this must be taken as irrefutable proof (even if none other existed) of the many years which have elapsed since the ship was cast away. As to what bad become of the crew, nothing Is known. The island and its surrounding reefs inclose a large lagoon, and Captain Nickois is of opinion that they escaped across this, and endeavored to reach some of the neighboring Islands. Whether they succeeded and were im prisoned or killed by the inhabitants, who are cruel savages, or whether they were drowned at sea, will probably re main and inclosed forever. The Can ton's record, however, goes as fur. as this. According to Lloyd's register, the Ben gal British ship Canton is reported to have left filtka, cm the north-west coast of our newly acquired Russian-Ameri can possesfdon, in the year• Dile, and was never more heard of. Who was her captain, who were her officers, and what her lading was, if any, there is no means of ascertaining. Far away in England many au aching heart waited patiently i'or tidings of the missing ship, until the eyes that once beam ed bright with hope grew sunken and faded, and the rosy cheeks grew wan, and the raven tresses silvery grey. Far away across the ocean many a wist ful gaze must have been directed, long, long ago, for the vessel that was never to reenter a home port. Anxiety and fear, conjecture, doubt and uncertainty, must have emerged at length into the dull hopelessness which weighs down the loving spirit through a life of pain ful endurance; but hope and doubt and anxiety and fear were alike fruitless, for the expected ones were sleeping the slee ) which knows no waking, among the • fathotniess deeps where the heavy waters swell and roll among the coral caves, or lying unburied and unblessed on the arid soil of the savage haunted Isles of the Pacific. One more touch of the old romance of the ocean, one little lifting of the dark curtain of the past, and the veil of mystery falls again, never to be lifted again in the world. How They do It In Boston " The State constable runs all the hotels in Boston," sturdily observed the keeper of a house in that city the other day. " But it you want anything to drink," he added, addressing a thirsty traveller, " sit down at the table yonder, and order what you please." This is the way the Yankee gets his liquor. No public bar is permitted, and the price of ginner is added to the cost of a "drink." estimated that 62110,000 changed hands on the trotting match in which Ethan Allen mad the unparalelled time of 2:15, 2:16 and 249. The Mow Bird-,Trade. The German steamers_ bring large quantities ofcanary birds,forming a con siderable trade. The New Yet* Joursa/ of Commerce Bays: ' " The importations for the current year comprise 'from 15,- 000 to 20,000 birds, valued at say $BO,OOO. Some curious facts are connected with ' this business, as obtiined from one of the New York importers, of whom the principal are Charles Rollerand Charles itichie. The grand bird center of Europe is the Hartz Mountains, in the State of Hanover, where there are num erous villages specially addicted to raising these: little songsters. The inhabitants rely mainly for a sub sistence upon mining gold and silver ores, but, being poor, almost the entire population as by a common instinct, devote their spare time to rearing birds and making the little wooden cages in which these creatures are carried to the railway station, forty miles distant, and afterward transported across the ocean. The Hartz Mountains are not supposed to be specially adapted to growing ca naries, as no difficulty is experienced in raising them in any mild climate; but the people in that region share their dwellings with the birds on equal terms sacrificing so much of personal con venience as may be for the welfare of their feathered companions. The houses are generally small, but one cor ner of the principal room is separated ,from the rest by a light partition, and reserved exclusively for the various processes' of nest building and incuba tion. At the end of the breeding sea son the birds are sent to Hamburg and Bremen for shipment, excepting only a few favorite heads of families, who are then caged until the return of another year. As hatching takes place three times every season, and as there are commonly four or five eggs in a nest, the increase is very rapid. A consider able number perish however, during the incipient stages of growth, from want of proper attention by the parents ; and the transatlantic voyages are attended with a mortality estimated at from twenty-five to forty per cent., which is attributable to confinement and bad weather. These voyages are necessarily made in winter, as the birds lose their voice and plumage in the warm season, and would find few admirers if sent to the market at that time. They are not appreciated if they can't sing or don't appear well. At one of the principal bird stores in this city may be seen nearly 2,000 of the feathered musicians, some of whom'are primadonnas, valued at a high figure. But all without dis tinction join in the deafening chorus from dawn until dark, alike regardless of the rule governing social life, that one shall speak at a time." Fate of a Hausitter of Hon. Aaron V A most Interesting will case has just been decided in Nashville. Miss Cynthia Saun ders, the daughter of Mrs. Aaron V. Brown, was married during the war to a Colonel Williams, a Federal officer. He won her affections while affording some protection to bur family's property during the war. He no sooner married her, according to some of the witnesses, than he coerced her by his treatment into his trembling and wretched slave instead of his adored wife. In this condition he moved her to his mother's home in Philadelphia, whore she pined 'may and died. While thus tortured he is alleged to have coerced a will which leaves all the property to him and his heirs in perpetuity, proscribes from its benefits her fond mother and loving sister and brother.

A Queer Came of Drowning A statement appeared in the Troy papers on Friday morning to the effect that Rev. S. M. Merrill, pastor of the Methodist Church in Plattsburg, was drowned In the Saranac River. The Albany Argus receives this report with some abatement on account ,71: the reverend gentlemen having been • I iic , ,vneil twice before, according to his own showing. The Argus says: It appears that Merrill had secured au insurance on his life, in an Accident Insurance Company for the stun of six thousand dollars. This was to expire Thursday noon. On Wednesday ho drew two hundred dollars on his salary, and towards evening took two of his own boys and an other boy of the village of Plattsville, and wont out fishing on the Saranac River. Ii Ills accident Insurance was to barnacle avail able, his time was short, and the drowning that was thwarted on the lake must be ac complished on the river, or his plans would avail him nothing. When it became dark, and while pulling in the boat-anchor, he suddenly went overboard. The water was shallow, and there was no current, but instead of coming towards the boat in which were his affrighted boys, he went away from them as rapidly as possible.— They pushed the boat after him, but he told them to never mind him, ho was well enough, and the last seen of him ho was away under the bridge, and disappeared in the darkness. The boys gave the alarm, search was made for the missing father and companion, but no trace could be found of him. lie may be drowned, as the dispatch to the newspaper press asserts, but the cir cumstances connected with the case, make it appear very doubtful. It is much more likely that he has gone not "to that bourne front whence no traveler returns," but to "parts unknown" to his neighbors and in terested family. Destruction of Dungenness A correspondent of the Savannah Ga New and Herald, writes from Fernandina Fla., the following interesting reminis cences : A baronial mansion erected on Cumber land Island, is known as "Dungenness." It was once the estate of Major General Nathaniel Greene, of Revolutionary fame. Hero in the rustic burial place of the estate repose the ashes of his with and daughter, and or that distinguished Virginian, Light Horse Harry Lee, father of General Robert E. Lee. At the breaking out of the war Dungunness was as charming piece; its do• pended grounds wore adorned with olive and orange groves and shrubbery In endless variety from every quar ter of the globe. Here the date palm of Arabia might be soon grow ing in oriental stateliness by the side of Palestine's golden acacias. Its proprie tor, a gentleman of fortune and culture, whose hospitality was princely, loft the estate in charge of the servants when the Federal forces Look Fernandina. Servants, library, paintings, furniture disappeared. Then the house remained awhile tenant less. At length many families of freed men took up their abode In its deserted halls,, subsisting meanwhile by the manufacture of olive oil and different gardening. Not long ago it was reported, upon what authority I know not, that Dun genness was to bo repaired and refurnished. The :legroom, however, still continued to occu it up to last week, when a lire, accidental or designed, left nothing to mark the so many pleasant memories but black ened walls and smouldering ruins. Important Dochslon . tn I . logord to Realm, === The following letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, to a party in this city, gives laJtir:, or the practice to be observed here after by Lim Troastiry Department in case of the lose of regvaered bonds. Heretofore, the general a oecretunrll rig lies been, and to some extent the ( lover:l:nem has acted upon it, that if a registered bowl should be lost or destroyed, the establishment of that fact to the satisfaction of the Department, a now bond would issue to the owner. By this letter it will be seen such Is no longer the practice of the Department TREASURY Dl3ltnivrxBBlT, June 'E. MADAM—Your letter of the 35th has been received, and memorandum made of your caveat against the $.500 U.S. registered bond of July lot, 1865, No. 3687. Should the et.r titicate be presented here, you will be im • mediately notified, but a new one cannot he issued in its stead, unless it be actually presented. The department will, however, continue to pay the semi-annual interest on the bond to you, as the person in whose name it stands, or your duly authorized representative, and, should you be unable to recover the bond, at its maturity the principal will also be paid in like manner, on due proof of the facts. Very respect fully, H. MCCULLOCH, Secretary of Treasury. By the reading of this very plain and di rect letter, owners of registered bonds are required to take as much care of them as of the coupon bonds. While the title to the bond will be respected so long as it stands in the name of the owner, and the interest semi-annually and the principal at'matu rity paid promptly over, no new bond will be issued in its stead, unless the old one is actually presented. Thus the negotiability is destroyed. This is a very important avowment, especially to trustees, executors, and all parties holding in a fiduciary capa city, as such loss of bonds would prevent the closing of trusts and tho settlement of estates until the date of maturity„—Phi/a de/Sia. ,Ledger. r rIES BAILICSO OF JEFFEIRSIN DAVIS.

In the Spring of 1866 ; I do not recollect the date; it was the day before you (Mr. Boutwell) offered a resolution about the case of Jefferson Davis in the House of Representatives. Q. Who else was present at that conver sation? A. Mr. George Shea was the only third person present; he was counsel for Jefferson Davis. Q. What was the nature of the conversa tion so far as Mr. Speed took any part in it? A. The object of Mr. Shea was to ascer tain whether, if an application were made for bail, the overnment would resist it. Q. What views on that subject did Mr. Speed present on that occasion? A. None at all ; he was very non-committal ; I could not make out anything from his conversa tion; he did not know, or did not wish to say, what the views of the Government were on the subject at all; I came away with no impression about what be would do; he said nothing that indicated whether he would or would not object. Q. Did you ever have any communication with or information from the President in reference to the matter? A. None in the world. Q. Or with any other member of the Cab• Met? A. No, sir; Mr. Speed is the only member of the Cabinet by whom I remem ber having heard the name of J. Davis mentioned. Q, At the time of the release of Davis on bail in May last, did you have any conver sation with any member of the Cabinet? A. No, Sir; on m way to Richmond and back I did not stop . AYWashington. Q. At the time you went to Richmond had you any previous information as to what the policy of the Government would belts reference to the releasing of Mr. Davis ? A. I had none; I had no information until we came into court, as to what the Govern ment would do; I did not know whether the Government was going to resist the application for bail or not. By Mr. Eldredge—Q. At whose sugges tion or solicitation did you become buil for Jefferson Davis? A. Mr. George Shea's ; he was a very old and intimate acquaint ance and friend of mine. Q.

No, sir •, I had never had any communi cation by letter or word ; I did not know him until I saw him in court. Q. Did any one, after it was known that you proposed to go bail for Mr. Davis, ap ply to you not to do so or write to you about it? A. Well, Sir, there was a hubbub about t at the time I was here, and Senator Wade and Senator Chandler talked with me about it. I think Senator Cromwell of Maryland was also present. I do not recollect any other person. Q. On what ground did they advise you not to go buff for .1 efferson Davis? A, There was a conversation of half an hour betwden us on the HUI),100I I cannot state definitely what particular reasons they urged. '1 thought it would lie bad poi ley and that it would httve u had Influence. Q. That it would haven had effect on the Republican party? A. I believe so; that was the impression I had. Q. Wore there any other persons endeav oring to prevent your going bail for Jeffer son Davis? A. do not recollect; there may have been one or two personal friends doing so, although It was not generally known that I intended to go ball. Q. Did they put their objections on party grounds alone? A. Generally, Q. There was no principle involved In it? A. I do not recollect; they made no impression on me other than that it would be injurious to the party. Q. Did you tell them that it was no party question to bail Jefferson Davis, he having been imprisoned so long? A. No, sir; in the first place I was desirous to bring on the trial: the tint year I thought we could compel the Government to bring the pris oner to trial by a writ of habeas corpus ; fi nally I thought the time for a trial to any good purpose had passed. Q. Did you go bail for Jefferson Davis with a view of never having him tried ? A. No; I wished to have him tried if the Gov ernment should ever wish to try him. Q. I understand you as saying that you thought the time for trying him to any good purpose had passed away? A. That was my judgment. Q. Is that your opinion now ? A. Yes, so far as I know the facts: if he had any• thing to do with assassinating President Lincoln or poisoning or starving prisoners, I wish him to be tried ; I do not know any facts that Justify either charge. Q. You know of no facts on the subject of his connection with the assassination of President Lincoln? A. No, sir: none that would connect him with it. The Trial of John A. Surratt, for the Murder of Abraham Lincoln. WASHINGTON, July 2. In the Sorrntt trial, to-day Mr. Bradley called the notice of Judge Fisher to the re marks of Dr. McMillan the day previous, but the Judge admonished the counsel for the defence that they must not in luture in dulge in such remarks as they had been making In examining witnesses. Dr. Mc- Millan then resumed his testimony. He said Surratt told him he (Surratt) was in Montreal the first day of the week of the assassination, and was summoned to Washington by a letter from Wilkes Booth; that he was at St. Albans a day or two after the assassination, and being told by a neighbor at a hotel table there that President Lincoln had been assassinated, he had replied that the news was too good to be true. Surratt also told witness he had lost his pocket handkerchief at St. Albans, and was concealed for sever al days afterwards at the house of a Con federate agent In Canada; he was then concealed lbr two weeks by a Priest at Saint Laboiso, Canada, and for four months by the priest Ls Pierre in Montreal, after which he sailed for England. Witness also remembered that Surratt had confessed to having planned the abduction of President Lincoln with Booth and others. On cross examination witness said Surratt did not toll him wino he was during the voyage to England, but witness suspected the fact, Various other witnesses were examined, among them James Walker, a colored inor ter at the Pennsylvania House in 18133. Walker testified that Surma at that time used to visit Atzerett at the hotel ; also that a young mon resembling the prisoner NI as In Washington with Atzerott on the night Mr Lincoln was killed. Henry Benjamin St. Marie testified to meeting Surratt in the Papal States, in a Papal Zeunve company. He u:so said that Surratt told him he left Washington after the assassination, dis guised so that no one could recognize him. After the adjournment of the Criminal Court at Washington yesterday some words passed between Judge Fisher and Mr. Bradley, counsel for Surratt, In a hull out• side the court-room. Harsh language was used, and Mr. Bradley Is said to have told the Judge that "If lie were not sick he would thrash him." The parties were separated by some officials, but Mr. Brad ley, Jr., making his appearance, the Judge grappled with him. The Judgo was then looked in his room. Prospect of Another Py!ze Fight between Collyor and Aaron, In last week's Clipper there is a letter from Sam. Collyer, in which he states that having learned Barney Aaron's willingness to light him again at 120 pounds, he accepts the challango for the championship, and from 81,000 to 86,000. He says if "Mr. Aaron" disregards this notice he must give up his claim to the championship. There Is therefore a prospect that the late brutal exhibition at Acquits Creek will be repeat ed. Mr. Barney Aaron also has a letter in the Clipper, in which he denies and de nounces the charges of John Roche, Esq., as does also Mr. John Lazarus in another oolmtle. Mr. Aaron expressos his willing -1104.1 to again meet S. Collyer, Esq., if the lutti:r desires it. The RIAIIIIIRN Indians—The Fort Phi Kearny dlossacre.

A Church Struck by. Lightning The New Bloomfield Advocate says that during the heavy thunder storm on Monday evening of last week, the German Reformed Church of that place was struck by light ning. The charge struck the iron rod of tlie cupola, shattering the weatherboarding to, the belfry, and then descended into theloft, where the charge divided. On the west side the charge completely demolished one rafter, splintering and breaking two other rafters and one of ' the heavy cross beams, and lifting up a portion of the roof; where it took to the spouting at the eaves and ran ;along to the centre of the church, where it descended the spouting, tearing it off about • ten feet from the ground. The other part of ;the charge struck the eastern front end of ,the brick work, near the comb of the roof, and ran down near the:eaves, tearing a rent about ten inches wide the whole distance of the wall, when it was conducted by the spouting to the middle of the building, and descended the spouting, tearing it off about ten feet from the ground. Several holes were made in the ceiling by parts of the rofters. Self.,brining Wells A new mode of getting water has been dis covered at Charleston, S. C. It is simple. The whole process consists in driving a piece of gas-pipe, an inch and a halt in diameter, down into the ground with a hand mallet. When the pipe reaches the water a common cistern pump is applied and worked. At first sand and water are lifted up, then less sand, until! finally beautiful clear water flows. It is used for all pur poses. Along Broad street they are so common as to be used, with hose-pipe at tached, for watering the streets, and are preferred to the water cart arrangement. The expence of putting down the pipe, the pump, and the platform is only about ten or twelve dollars for a well of eight feet. Every house and cabin should have one. Any person can make them. Value of Old Hope Among the flume' ous worn.out and often considered worthless materials which the ingenuity of matt has discovered means of remanufacturing, and rendering of equal value with the original substance, aro old tarred ropes, which have long been in use at the coal-pits. Our readers will be sur prised when we inform thorn that out of this dirty and apparently unbleachable substance is produced a tissue paper of the most beautiful fabric, even of surface and delicate of color, a ream of which, with wrappers and strings, weighs two and a half pounds. It is used principally in the potteries for transferring the various pat terns to the earthern ware, and is found superior to any substance yet known for that purpose. It is so tenacious that a sheet of it twisted by the hand int he form of rope will support upwards of one hundred weight. Truly we live in an ago of inven tion.—Liverpool Standard.

Patented 1863, '6.5 and '66, by James S. Marsh, Lewisburg, Pa. These Machines have the advantage of being arranged in such a manner that the Cutter Bar can be raised or lowered t•, suit the condi tion of the grain to be cut without stopping the team. They have Side Delivery. The facilities for Mowing, with this Com bined Machine are equal to a Machine built on purpose for a Mower. The Cutter Bar is raised and lowered at the will of the driver ; and the points of the Guard can be dropped down when desired to cut lodged or down grass. THE "VALLEY CHIEF" HAS BEEN GREAT LY IMPROVED AND STRENGTHENED SINCE LAST YEAR. One of them may be seen in the South-east corner of Centre Square, Lancaster City. As a Reaper and Self-Rake it has no equal in the field, and its claims to public attention are being appreciated by experience and trial. At the great trial of Reapers and Mowers and Sell-Rakes at Auburn, New York. in July, 1866, the "VALLEY CHIEF" MOWER AND REAPER, and MARSH'S SELF-RAKE proved worthy of' the hjghest commendation and re ceived the favofable report of the Judges. As a Sei6Rake, the Marsh Rake was the only one out of 20 Machines that was marked perfect (No. 40,) in cutting lodged wheat on tile Sheldon Lot," and but one other Machine in the list that a•as marked even to No. 38 in the test, all the rest being below that number.— This was regarded as the great test of the trial in ,ieaping and Raking.
