Statements of the Purser, Chief Engi- neer and a Passenger. [From to-day’s New York Tribune.] The steamer Virgo arrived at this port yesterday afternoon, having left Savannah, Ga., on the morning of the 10th, She ex penenced a severe gale daring her passage, winch continued sfor three days, with strong winds from the northeast. Among her passengers were E. S. Allen, late parser of the Evening Star, Robert Finger, late chief engineer, and a passenger, H. H. Harris, By their statements, which we give below, it appears that the Evening Star encoun tered a terrific gale on the evening of Tues day, Oct. 2, when about 240 miles northeast of Mantanilla Reef. At midnight on the 2d instant her rudder chains were broken and the vessel being unmanageable, lay in the trough of the sea. The waves were breaking over her all night, her upper yorks being all carried away. Both the wheel-houses were swept off, nothing remaining but the iron frames. The pilot-house and guards had also been carried away. About 6 o’clock a heavy sea rolled over her starboard quarter, sinking her almost immediately. Then ensued a heart-rending scene. A piece of the hnrri cane deck ICO feet long waa crowded with human beings. There were but four life preservers on board, which were distributed among the ladies. The members of the Bal let troupe and French Circus Company, not speaking English, could not understand what orders were given in relation to th® boats, and very lew, if any, managed to reach them. The shrieks of frantic women could be beard above the roar of the angrv waves, rushing to and fro, imploring for aid, but it was each for himself. The boats were all capsized, and those who had reached them were clinging to their sides, but the heavy seas would .wash them away when others more fortunate would quickly fill their places. There are onlv persons saved. Beside the Purser’s ’-joat which arrived at Savannah with 10 persons Aboat containing the third mate and five others with two dead bodies has arrived at Fernandina, Florida. The schooner Morn ing Star picked up one of the life boats con- PUo, 5 John B°rny, Cook; Andrew McMahon, Assistant Eo»i* SwiV 4 " ®® D - Z , a ',£• Van Sickles, Minnie Taylor and Mollie Wilson, passengers. In addition to the French Circos Com pa ny and Ballet Troupe, there were forty- two trail women, who for various reasons were seeking another field tq prosecute their un holy calling. Some with impaired constitu tions were migrating to a warmer clime: others were suffering with ennui and merelv wanted change of scene. It is stated that one young girl has left a widowed mother sister and child unprovided for, she being their only support. The sister is being educated at a private schooi, and knows not of her sister’s shame. - John Thuro, of New Orleans, one of the passengers on the ill-fated vessel, bought a policy for §lO,OOO in the Accidental Insur ance Company, for which he paid Sio. 8e veral of the unfortunate had their lives in sured for the benefit of those dependent on them, in various New York companies STATEUEXT OF E.

A Romance—Trntti Btranger than Fiction, [.From the fUchmond.j£xamlnsr,l It occasionally happens that events occur in real life as romantic as If produced by the conception of a writer of hetion. One of these is transpiring now in this city. Eighteen years ago in the City or London, when the parlies were both young, a gentleman ad dressed a lady. For some reason his suit was relected. and in a short time the lady married another gentnv man. They emigrated to America and settled fir this city. A year since the husband died and left his wife a widow. Since that time she has been engaged in an honest vocation by which she has supported herself, and won the respect or a large circle or friends and ac quaintances. After her marriage, thegenUeman who tirst addressed her, also married. He remained in London, Some twelve months since his wife died, and he became a widower. it appeals ttiat he bad not. forgotten bis first lore, ana a letter with a foreign postmark, directed to Mrs. “■ ' >if living:, reached this post office. It was adver tised, and waa received by the lady to whom It was ad dressed. Its purport was to ascertain, first, whether she was sau living, and If so, what her condition was: whether fctlll married or a widow. Bhe replied, in forming the gentleman that she was still alive and a wloow. In a snort time she received another letter, renewing th- rejected suit or IS years ago, and inclos ing Aphotograph ot the writer, in order that she might see the changes which time had wrought In him. Bhe, evidently satisfied with his personal appearance, and not forgetting his 18 years of constancy, returned a favorable answer. The gentleman immediately embarked for America, and on reaching New York went to the West to attend to some business in that quarter. At Chicago he was taken sick, not fil» but too sick to travel The lady was notified or his arrival, and of the cause that detained him from coining.on immediately to the city. A car* respondence Is commenced, and the lady Is Informed that the gentleman Is convalescing, ana will be here in ashorttime. it is arranged that the marriage Is to take puw on the gentleman's arrival here, after whimi the happy couple will depart Immediately for London, the home of their childhood and early love, A pbivatb letter from Yokohama says at an European ball given there, there were seventy gentlemen and eight ladies. ■*' !'• JORDAN, Chairman, Yew Xeney Scatters* Beaty Forgeries In New Tork. on flrom today’s Tribune.] tarrfe a eirce, Joined the Jndor«ei^sSi , 5 ho ' sev , e ; a) month* houses to check* ft? utsrS finoooo d^ l fS own ' town tJlfed/sriajftlloSsf B '' M near “ be ascer mb instL a man named Edward Tii,«n^ 2r km 2*ortb America, one .amounting to l »bave been drawn by Stehn & Wat Hl® PJb er for 17,460, drawn, by.

The Bear and the Tea-Kettle, The bears of Kamachatka live chiefly on fish which they procure for themselves from the rivers. A few years ago the fish became very scarce. Emboldened by the faminn and consequent hunger, the bears, instead of retiring to their dens, wandered about and sometimes entered the villages. On a certain occasion one of them sound the outer door of a house open, and entering it the gate accidentally closed after Win. The wo man of the house had just placed a kettle of boiling water in the court Bruin smelt it but burnt his nose. Provoked at the pain’ he vented all history on the tea-kettle He folded his arms around it, pressed it "with his whole strength against his breast to crush it; but this of course only burnt him the more. The horrible growling which the rage and pain forced upon the poor animal now brought the neighbors to the spot, and Bruin, by a few shots, was put out of his misery. To this day, however, whenever anybody injures himself by his own vio lence, the people of the village call him “the bear and the tea-kettle.” —Galt Reporter. Heavy Disappointment fob Police Officers. — A Washington despatch says: It is understood that, several days since a detachment of the police arrested a party of five men, whose only offenee was that they had large sums of money with them. Over bIOS,OOO in gold and silver coin were found on their persons, besides numerous chunks of gold and silver and gold and sil ver ore. They proved that they had been mining in Montana since 1859, and that on their way here they stopped and had their precious metals coined, and that thev were on tbe way for their homes in the State of Georgia. They were accordingly dis missed. Hake Soup. -The Buenos Ayres Standard, on the authority of a private letter, savs:— Positive orders have been sent to Field .Marshal Polydora not to lose anymore time about Corupaiti, hut to take Lopez prisoner, and send him to Rio Janeiro ” •lhe Standard facetiously calls the Minister of War’s attention to Mrs. Glass’s receipt for making hare soud “First catch your hare;” and he recommends the editor of the A.nglo-Rrazilian Times to publish it. It is a faCt, however, that a council of war held on board Admiral Tamander’s flagship it was unanimously agreed to shut up Lopez and his army at Hnmaita—if they can. A Gentle Bride. —At n wedding in North Kingstown, R. 1., one evening last week,the groom, after the ceremonies were over, im bibed until he became exceedingly drunk and helpless. While the new made hus band was under this beastly influence, some youngsters present undertook to to get up a tittle sport at the expense of the bride. The joke being carried quite too far, in her esti mation, she seized a knife and plunged it into the bosom of her antagonist, making a dangerous wound and penetrating the lungs. The bride also “tapped” another youngster, who was glad to make a hasty retreat. A young girl in Greenock, England, re cently fell a distance of eighteen feet, and thoroughly dislocated her neck. A surgeon was called, who pulled gradually and strongly on her head until the parts sud denly came to their natural position, and after a minute or two regular breathing was established. The child is now as well as ever. We understand that a similar case occurred in New York, a few years ago. the operation being performed some days after the acoident occurred. The Springfield Republican says a couple of young Boston ladies attending school at the Wesleyan Academy, at Wilbraham, who had often been reproved for wrong doing, were expelled the first of last week and deeply feeling their shame and dis grace, took each a dose of laudanum, and came near dying. According to a Dublin paper an Irish farmer is bringing an action against Lord Portarlington to recover the value of his damaged hay, which he neglected to put under shelter on the faith of his lorship’s feir-weather prophecy. This is Irish par sang. Great distress is reported among the Cornish miners, and they are leaving their homes by thonsanda. Many are emigrating to Australia and. America, : while others are seeking employment in the coal fields of South Wales and of the North of England. F. 1. FETHERSTON. Pdbl 1)0UB E SHEET, THREE CENTS.
