so it is continued the whole evening, to a very late

in order. If you get hungry you call for two pen

Steamboat Collision.
About half past eight o'clock on Tuesday eve
ning, Mac 20, the steamboat Ohio, with the passen
gers by the afternoon line from Baltimore. wag run
into by the steam ferry boat Commodore Stockton,
a short distance below the Navy Yard.
The bow of the - Ohlo , waS knocked completely off
and the Stockton completely crippled. The con
cussion and crash ware terriffe, cresting among the
passengers great consternation, which was increas
ed to tie highest pitch by the discovery that the
boat was rapidly sinking
The i shiking ksmanier was pointed for the Jersey .
Shore, and Was beached by the pilot pea. Kaighn's
Point. At first, it was thought that there was no
immediate danger, but it was soon found that the
water was pouring in at n fearful rate, and that the
lives of all on board were in imininentperil.
The passengers were driven from helow 'and
forced th abandon the cabins and seek the most el
evated Places of safety on the decks. The scene
was one of the greatest alatrn, and baffles descrip
tion.
The Ohio suddenly c hided into deep water, sub
merging her forward deck, where the passengers
were collected.
Thu alarm was quickly given to the shore by the
Captain's boat, and the Ferry boat Champion and
a number of small boats promptly came to the res
cue of the passengers, who were taken from the
Ohio ,barely iu time to prevent their int4ting a wa
tery grave. • .
Many of the passengers plunged into the river,
and it is hoped that none of these were drowned.
Our informant, Mr. Jelin Wills, Telegraph Agent.
saved his life by swimming, ashore.
There were about one hundred passengers aboard,
quite a number of whom were ladies and children.
It is feared that some of the latter perished. A re
port preiFailed that one child was known to have
been lo=t. The general belief, however, appeared
to he that every - soul escaped. We truly hope
that this may ,prove so. That numbers were not
drowned, is indeed wonderful.
portion of the rescued passengers were lande'd
at South street wharf by the Champion, and were
received With every attention and kindness by .111.
Taylor, of the Red Bank Ferry "louse, and his
family. The steamer State Rights went down to
bring up the rest:
.tie: , rly all th# passengers lost their baggage and
other effects. Trunks, etc. floated away into the
river. A western merchant lost KISOO.
Nothing hardly was saved from the boat. In
twenty minutes from the time of collisiion she had
almost entirely disappeared ; a part of her uppin
deck, wheel house and ehituney sack being all that
was; visible in the dark.
The Ohio was a noble boat—one of the largest
on on!. waters, and'u great favorite. She was some
twenty years old.
The Community, m well ns thh Compnny
osned her, will iheply regret her kiss.
Pies Poccers.—These noted gentry paid our
lace a Tiaiky,tiferklay.
1.0 a few. select' friitids7 - Tillitie - diate :7 on the
firriv4l-of the care with the expected guests, they
commenced operations by relieving people of loose
change, who unfortunately came in contact with
them. William Hoffman was bled to the tune of
about $.lOO, and Dr. Bently ot . Horse Heads about
i'LO. The directors of the road took all the pre
motion necessary, to save people from the imposi
tions, by allowing three or four of the famed "
dove's" (policemen) fo accompany then' on the ex
excursoni. They were informed of the workings of
these gentry, and soon were on the track, and we
dare say that before they reach this place on their
return they will have the. chaps tight.— Elmira

The Barbecue at Dunkirk.
This important feature in the latc celebra
tion-of the opening of the Erie Railroad, was
one.,of the most ~ , i gantic affairs in the eating
lihe that we ever heard. of. It was gnit up
under the direction of some !Yentlemen of
Newburgh, and is this described' by the N.
Y. Tribune : .
A table running the entire, length. of the
Depot was spread with all kinds of eatables ;-
aid to give some idea of .the supplies furn
ished, we " made a note" of a few,of the lend
ing articles. There were ten sheep roasted
whale, each decorated - with miniature flags.
Eight large logs, roasted whole; were tempt
ingly displayed. ' Sixteen Hams, having on
each the name of a Director,. were arranged
in equal distances along the table ; while to
remind our Yankee friends of " - Down East,"
there were eight large pans, each containing
two bushels of Baked Beans, in which floated
small islands, of Pork. Three thousand,
SandWiches, one hundred pieces of a-la-mode
Beef, twenty or thirty mountains of Bread.
Pickles, Sausages, and eugs inumnerabie, one
hundred Turkeys, three hundred' Fouls, a
dozen flocks of Geese, a cart-load of Beef-
Tongties and twelv,e barrels of Coffee served
to fill up the interstices between the Sheep,
Hogs'and Beans. Behind there-were two
Oxen, i eg, 4,000 lbs. roasted whole, and
four leaves of Bread, each containing one and
alialf 'barrels of Flour. In the centre of the
table stood the antlers of a stag, having a span
as broad as the track of the Erie Railroad :
and between,_ a banner with the inscription ;
" We give way to the march of,Civilization."
The eatables thus sprea I out were. beatitifully
decorated with flowers, evergreens and rib
bons. - This collation was prepared for the
congregated thensands, audwas free to all.
'm otet this'enormonsmass of provis
ions was all stowed away in the bread hai

an invitation to the Presid4nt to visit thein
the approaching summer, a 'reply was .r(?ceiv

in which, after apologizing for not replying
at once, ho goes on to - say :
"I feel that my first duty is due to my
country; and to this I am bound to sacrifice
every consideration of personal convenience
and pleasure. I trust that the storm that
threatened to overwhelm the Government
and array section against section, and bro
ther against brother, in treasonable and flat,
ricidal strife, has passed away. But the was
ters are still *agitated, and it Will take some
tune for the elements to subside. I have
also accepted an invitation to attend the cel
ebration of the New York and Erie Railroad,
hut I fed that I cannot be absent longer at
this time than is indisspensible to accomplish
this object. ,Under all the circumstan6es I
can only say that I shall still hope to be able
to visit your beautiful - flourishing city ditring
the summer. But at what time I cannot
say."
