- An Exciting and Painffl-Sce ne.
Speakingof the recent loss of' the Schooner
It IL. Johnson, the Cleveland Phrindeq/er says:
At Chicago, whence the ill-fated vessel last
sailed, Capt. Snell, her owner and commander.
put her in charge of the mate, who was with
leis brother, and left her to make her war down
the lakes, while he took the railroad for the
purpose of getting a special insurance upon her
in Buffalo. She weathered the storm, passed
over the flats and beat her way down to this
lake, when the big North-wester of Sunday
caught her this side of the islands. The next
seen of her was at daylight, Monday tnorning,
about two' miles-west of Fairport and twenty
rods from shine, beached, and the men hanging
in her rigging. Alit lay broad side to, and
every tißrher over so as to bring her
masts l l Ater, and of course immerse the
poor fellows clinging there for life. She was
firstdiscovered -14--afauri I 3r---of-farrners-1 iv i ng
opposite on the bluff which overlooked the •
wre ck. They immediately despatched a mes
senger to the harbor for a life-boat. They
watched the sufferers on the wieck until one
by one they were washed off. so that when the
te-boat started_for_theirrel ie f,-_ there-were- but
thrce remaining. Intensely - excited - did they
boon the boat on, which for two miles was
T owed amid the surges and breakers that hid
one-half the time the rescuets from view. Two
wore of the sufferers are washedoff by the sea,
and yet the boat has some half mile to row.
One. probably the most hardy and robust of
them all, remains. He seems lashed to the
rigging and rises and falls with it, to nearly a
perpendicular. The boat is almost -to him,
`when suddenly the mast disappears again, and
rises no more I All on board, nine in number,
have been lost, and none left to tell the tale of
their sufferings. Portions, of the wreck com
ing ashore, revealed the fact that it was the
Schr. R. R. Johnson. . The farmer's house we
have described was the very home of the mate,
and the family on shore who had sent after the
boat was the family of the mate. In all prob.:
ability the man who hung so long in the rig
ging was the mate himself, as he was a reso
lute and robust man. •
An esteemed friend informs us that he learns
from Capt. Galligan, br.,ther of the young man
who was mate of the vessel when she was , lost,
that the wife of the unfortunate Snell, uncon
scious at the time that her husband was in
. such a critical situation, came out in front of
-- het relidence and waived her handkerchief to
encourage the almost despairing mariners.
Such an occurrence is as rare as it, is thrilling
and deplorable.—Language is inadequate to
truthfully.depict it.—Buffalo Post.
AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS - FOR THE RITSSTAN
SERiIOE.-Mr. Rosevelt, a lawyer .of New
York, who sailed in the Baltic last week, en
route for - St. Petersburg, it is said, is - to be
raised to a Generalship in the Russian army.
Several other Americans, it is reported, went
out in the Baltic'to proceed to Russia. The
N. Y. Sufi says :
“Mr. Rosevelt has been engaged for the last
two months in sketching the plan - and calcu
lating the costs of a campaign—all of which
are reduced to paper, and capable of being
rolled up into a compass sufficiently small to
enable him to secrete it on his person without
fear of detection. There are several persons
of standing in this city who
. are familiar with
the plans, having got their information from
Mr. Rosevelt. They state that it is the inten
tion 'of the Czar, in, the spring, to open the
campaign on the most formidable foundation,
and tp,carry the war into Great Britain itself."
DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE READING RAIL
ROAD.—On Friday afternoon week, the locomo
tive Wisconsin left Richmond for Pottsville,
with a train of empty coal cars. When the
train was approaching the Manayunk tunnel
the boiler of the locomotive exploded, blowing
out the end over the firebox, and rendering
the engine a complete wreck. George Long,
formerly an engineer on the road, but recently
living in Baltimore, where he leaves a family,
was on the engine at the time of the explosion.
He sprang to the ground, but . was so badly
scalded that he died in a short time. John.
Lynch, the fireman,.was much mangled.-and
so severely scalded that he survived but a few
• minutes. Lyuch lived in Dauphin county,
where he leaves a family. Charles Miller, the
front brakemann-of the train, had the top of his
head carried away, and was badly scalded.
He died instantly. A lad residing in Reading,
who was on the train at the time, was badly
scalded. and had a leg broken. Ile was sent
, - to Phil's. on the passenger train, on Saturday
morning. A man named James 'Topple had a
leg broken by jumping from the engine to es
cape the scalding steam.
FIVE NEW WESTERN STATES.---001: Benton,
in a recent lecture. shows that the country be.;
tureen Missouri and California, in the latitude.
or nearly the latitude of Maryland, is well
adapted to settlement and cultivation, and ca
pable of forming five great States. Kansas he
would divide into two States, Eastern and
Western Kansas. These two States will each
have a territory of fifty thousand square miles,
and, according to Mr. Benton, they will prob
ably be ready for admission into the Union
within the next two ye.ws. For the third State,
Mr. Benton takes a section of the Rocky Moun
tains from the 37th degree of North latitude
to the 41st, making an area of sixty thousand
square miles. For the fourth State he takes
the valley of the Upper Colorado. This region
forms a part of the Territory of Utah, and the
process of settling it with white inhabitants is
"already begun. The fitth State comprises the
remainder of Utah. - - -

argument with ladies. In spinning a yarn
among silks - and„faiins a man is sure to be
worsted and twisted. And when a man is
worsted and twisted he may consider himself
wound up.

The continued and increasing favor
with which the Monthly has been receiv-1
ed, is the best possible proof that the task
has been in Some degree "fulfilled.
The New Volume of the Magazine com
mences under the best possible auspices.
Its position is now assured. Two, - years
have demonstrated the extent of its circle
of friends, and that circle is constantly
widening. The Magazine has not only
the sympathy, but the actual literary sup
port of the most eminent authors in the
country. The greatest care is exercised
in the selection of articles for its pages,
from the immense number of MSS. re
ceived—a number now amounting to more
than eighteen hundred. In so great a
press of material to be considered, the
Publishers appeal confidently for patience
to all who favor them with their -contribu
tions, while they heartily thank them for
their good will.
While care is taken that nothing - in the
remotest degree offensive to propriety or
good taste defaces these pages, and the
ablest talent is secured to make a Magazine,
which, fur variety of interest, and excel
lence of tone. shah be surpassed by no sim
ilar publication in the world, the Publishers
assure the Public that their motto is still on
ward, and that every year's experience will
enable them more fully to deserve the favor
which they so gratefully acknowledge.

AT the last meeting of-the Adams County
Agricultural Society, it was resolved that
subjects connected with Agriculture be discus
sed at the meetings of the Society, and that
the first topic for ingstry be,__'`77ic application
of Lime to land." A specs! meeting was also
ordered, to take place at the Court-house, in
Gettysburg, on Me frat *Saturday in January
ocri, (being the Gilt of the month,) at 10
o'clock, A. M., at which . time the above sub
ject will be taken up; and it is expected that
there will be a 'general participation, particular
ly by those who have used lime in agricultural
s ocesses, and whose observation and experi
ence have furnished them with facts of a char
acter snore or less valuable. The meeting will
doubtless he an interesting and instructive
one, and all are invited to it.
