armies, or to Iesscn their enthusiasm for
the hero of the Wildiruesa. The boys

His Supporters.
Brick Fomeroy wiites an article in the
last issue of his Dmn- rut, staling that
Hon. Win. M.Tweed, of New York,
gave SI 0.000 toward effecting the nomin
ation of Horace Greeley, and also that
several other Tammany politicians gave
in proportion to their means till S.50,000
were given for the above purpose by the
old ring of Xew York plunderers. This
statement, taken in connection with that
of the Xew York World's, viz : that Mr.
Greeley has the support of all the cor
rupt rings of Xew York State, looks
very significant.
(.erritt Smith for Grant.
The Xew York Republicans put Ger
ritt Smith at their head to attend the
National Convention at Philadelphia.
The sickness of his wife may keep him
from doing tso. lie makes provision for

Prctidtnt White Mv Dear Fkii.nd:
1 see the great honor done me by the
State Couventiou held at Elmira Truly
do I regard it as a great honor.
I am hers with my sick wife, aud for
several reasons it is quite doubtful
whether I shall get to Philadelphia
' You, my alternate, will, I trust, not fail
to be there.
The country cannot yet afford to have
the Democratic party come into power.
But the success of either the Cincinuati
or the Baltimore Conventions will be
the success, of that bad party.
The Philadelphia Convention will
doubtless nominate Piesident Grant.
Tho anti-slavery battle is not yet fought
out, and until it is we shall need Grant's
continued leadership.
With great regard, yours,
Gersitt Smith.

The Colored People against Greeley
A meeting of the colored voters of j
West Chester was held May IS, 1S72,
Georgo Berry, chairman, and Oliver
Reynolds, secretary, at which the follow
ing preamble aud resolutions offered by
Oliver Reynolds were uuauimously ad
opted, viz :
IIYi. nn.?. It lias been echoeu irom a
number of leading journals that the Ciu
ciucinnati nominee for President stands
high with the colored voters, therefore be
it.
Hesnli ed, That we the colore! voters
of West Chester hereby make known our
want of sympathy with the Cincinnati,

neramations.
AVwtr.', That we regard and denounce I
all steps out of the Republican party of i
the nation as leading to the Democratic
camp.
liCMlcd, That we pledge our undi
vided support to the candidates to be
nominated by the Philadelphia Conven
tion. UeaJvtJ, That we endorse President
Grant's Administration, and we recognize
his faithfulness to the fundamental prin
ciples of our Government by remember
ing all classes of people
in nis national'

Ittiulrcl, That whilst wa ackuowl
edge Hon. Horace Greeley as a former
champion of human freedom we de f
nounce his present course, and earnestly
insist upon his withdrawal as a leader of
tbe Liberal Faction, whose movements
we believe, are prompted by evil de
signs.
Lrtolced, That Hon. Carles Sumner
is entitled to our most hearty thank for
remaining in his seat aud discharging the
duties of a Senator of our common country
during the meeting of the Ciucinnati
Convention.
The Ccmmrrri'il Adorrt'ser refeies to
Horace Greeley's somersault on the tariff
question says :
Henry Clay was once tempted as the
Sage of Chappaqua is tempted now.
"Support tha anti-tariff measures '" cried
the Democratic Mephistopheles, "and
you shall sit in the chair of Washington."
"JTever !" replied the Mill Boy of the

be President." To day the voice of the

which thus responds "the friend of Henry

o'clock P. M , a tremendous sea struck
tho vessel, and flung her bodily with a
fearful crash upon. Fish Bock, where she
immediately began to break up. Just
before she struck, and as the black face
of the rock loomed to leeward, threo of

had they cleared the side than they were

They had been but a few minrrtes

hurling them all into the sea amid terri

ed to death by the floating ice. Seven

rest beneath the waves. Still life was
sweet to-the sufferers ; and the thought
of weeping wives and children at home
nerved them to make an effort.
They kuew that not far off was a ves
sel bearing the auspicious name of the
Rescue, commanded, too, by a brother of
their captain, who had gone down with
his men. With the first gleam of day
light they were able to make out the

around they all managed to crawl nearly
a miie over tjlu broken ice, and at length
reached the rescue.
After such frightful sufferings the re
covery of many is still doubtful. Four
days afterwaard, one poor fdlow, who
had managed to scramble on a roek, was
taken off alive by the crew of the steam
ship Wolf. He is still living, though
terribly maimed and frost bitten
One very sad feature in this case is
that all the men who were los-t belonged
to one small fishing village, Bay Roberts,
on the north Bide of Conception bay, and
more than thirty of them were married
men. It is said there are thirty three
widows and more thau a hundred or
phans by this catastrophe. Hardly a
family in the little village but has lost
some member or dear relative, so that it
is a scene of "mourning, desolation and
a, -a
woe."
LOSS OF TWO STEAMERS.
In tbe same terrible gale in which the
Hontsmau met her doom, the steamers
Bloodhound and 4tetriever were crushed
by an enormous iceberg and sank. The
Bloodhound was the first to meet her
fate, striking heavily on an iceberg at
midnight. By desperate exertions the
crew jnanaged to keep her afloat until
daylight, when they had to abandon her
and take to the ice with nothing but
their clothing.
Soon after she went down, near Cape
Charles, Labrador. The mn made
their way to the Retriever, which was
in sight ; but to their consternation found
her in a sinking condition in conse
quence of a blow from the same ice
monster, . which was' half a mile in
length. Within half an hour after their
reaching her the Retriever sank. Three
hundred and fifty men were thus left on
the ice with nothing but their clothing.
Fortunately Battle Harber was but a
few miles off, and they all managed to
reach it over the ice They were cared
for here, as there is a mercantile fstab-
lishment and a considerable number of
inhabitants. The steamers Nimrod and
Mastiff, having ascertained their condi
tion, abandoned their voyage, took off
the shipwrecked men and brought them
safely to St. Johns'.
RESULTS OF THE FISflERY.
Altogether this is the most disastrous
year we have ever known in the annals
of our seal fishery. Seventeen sailing
vessels have been destroyed in addition
to the three steamers, and apprehensions
are entertained of the loss of two more
vessels having sixty men on board.
A hired girl in Boston, on the 10th

a street car in Mio south-east part of
Newport, Ky., and started for home.
When on the way s'.e was twice stab

W halebotie in her dress averted one
blow. The secoud stroke was serious,

assailant was not her husband.
Thieving Postmasters Arrested.
Me'ipiiis, May 24 Nine postmas
ters 03 the stage route from Little Rock
to camden, Arkansas were arrested, a
few days ago, for robbing the mails, by
special agent Moorhousc, and several

The practice has been carried on for
several months, notwithstanding the
visits of two or three other officers of the
department. No estimate cau be made
of the amount lost, but it is supposed to
be large.
Speedy Retribution.
Buffalo, .May 24. Two track labor
ers started to walk from Lake View to
this city, yesterday One of - them,
whose name is unknown, pretended to be
without maney, and the other, John
Connelly, paid for his meals. W hen
within five miles of this city, the un
known man presented a pistol to Cm

afterwards he was overtaken by a pass

A Furnace Horror.
York, May 22 A terrible accident
occurred at the York iron furnace this
morning The wheel, twenty feet in di

one hundred revolutions per minute.
The entire rolling mill is a wreck.
Three men were injured so seriously that
death must ensue. A number of other
employes were also injured.
A Tornado.
Cincinnati, May 23 A furious tor-
uailn passed over ttie country north and
east of this about three o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Ssveral houses and barns
were demolished. The house of George
Mc Mullen, a farmer, was taken tip and
carried several rods with the members of
the family in it. all of whom were injured
but not fatally. The tornado was a
quarter of a mile in width.

Violent Storm.
Forth kss Monr.ik, .May 23.
The most violent storm that has visited
this place for six years passed over this
afternoon, unroofing houses and pros
tratiug trees and fences. It lasted about
thirty miuutcs, and was accompanied by
ruin' hail and lightning. No casualties
are reported yet.
FireT
Erir, May 23 A fire broke out
early this morning at Northeast, fifteen
miles east of this city, in a tobacco store,
and burned eight wooden build inga. The
loss is estimated at S .'5,000, mostly cov
ered by ' insurance.
Town Nearly Destroyed by Fire.
Wheeling, May 23 A fire at Man

greater portion of the town. The loss is
estimated at $IS,000, with an insurance
of $5500.
The Persian famine, though supposed
to be near its end, is not at an end yet.
A terrible account is given in a telegram
from Captain Pierson, R. E., dated at
Teheran. He says that he arrived at
Teheran safely, as he traveled in force,
but the road was exceedingly dangerous
for small parties. "At !Iauz-i Sultan I
found the officer sent by the Grand
Vizier to exterminate the robbers in a
complete state of destitution, having
himrelf been stripped. The crops are
maguificient and the water abundant,
but this final s'ge of famine is more
terrible to witness than the first. The
road is strewn with half-eaten corpses.
I had several times to remove dead bod
ies from the rooms of tbe caravanserai
where I lodged. Cannibalism is not un
common, but prices are rapidly falling,
and the end of the famine is, I trust,
close at hand ."
Some idea of the importance of our
lumber interests may be obtained from
the fact that there was cut and banked
during the winter in the Wisconsin lum
ber regions alone 20G.000 000. feet of
lumber, to produce which required the
labor of 3500 men. 1600 horses ami 250
oxen, besides the men and teams engaged
in hauling supplies to the camps for the
use of the men, and the teams engaged
in the actual work of cutting the logs.
