" of a virtuous magistracy, than to sanction the le-
1 vgalily of the trafiic.
' He had not intended to be harsh, unkind or re-
" proachfull, but to utter the truth. He disclaimed
the intention for himself and the friends of tem-
' perance, of reproaching or coercing——their ob-
: ject was to convince.
We have endeavored to give above, a brief
outline of the address of Mr. Sherman. It must
be imperfect as is matter from memory, but it
I will convey to our readers a general idea of the
-tenor and character of his remarks.
Tm: STEAM near DISASTER.—In another
’ column will be found an account ofthe explosion
-of the boilers of the New England,
and a list of
' the killed &. wounded. Since that was in type,
we have heard that Jllr. Heron, and Dr. W/ii-
‘-ting, who were from Redding, are dead. They
‘ were going to the Episcopal Convention at Nor-
-wicb, and were on deck ; preparing to leave
the Boat at the next landing above. I-lad their
destination been any other landing on the riv-
’ -er, they would probably have escaped. as did all
, that were in the gentlemen’s cabin. The num-
ber of persons dead at the last accounts, was 11,
l of whom the following is a list in part.
Allen Pratt, baggage-master, of Hartford;
:Jared Lane, of Killingwortli, deck hand; a
;‘ClllIt‘.l:Of Mrs. Toinpson, a‘bout two years old;
f_ Eastbrook, of Concord, N. H. ; Mr.
"Shepard, a merchant of Norwich, Con. ; J.
M. Heron, Esq. of Redding, Ct.; Mr. Ly-
iiian VVarnei', of Plymouth, Ct.; Dr. Ste-
phen B. VVl1itiug, of Redding, Ct. ; Elias
. Bushnell, of Killingwortli, Ct. deck hand.
A more serious explosion than this, where the
loss oflife, ofproperty, or injury to the boat is
considered has never occurred except on the
fllississippi. 13 were killed in the Etna, 11 in
-the Chief Justice Marshall, and 12 in the
General Jackson. II were dead at the Iastac-
. -counts from the New England, aml most prob-
ably three have died since.
The Review remarks that “the cause must re-
main for a time a matter of surmise or specula-
tion.” VVe think, however, from all that we
diave gathered on the subject from different
sources, it is more than probable, that the ex-
tplosion was the effect of unprecedented careless-
.ness in retaining the steam in the boiler, and not
‘blowing it off when the boat was at rest. There
are but four causes to which, at the present time
explosions are attributed. lst efaulfy, construc-
tion Q/‘the boiler, in consequence of which it will
' riot bear the necessary degree of pressure ; ‘ed, a
faulty state of the boiler, owing to corrosion, or
a collection of salt, lime or mud, within it ; 3d,
Zperniling the water to got too low in the boiler,
I and its surface to get so much heated, that when
:the water is throw in by the feed pump, an
‘immense volume of steam is generated instantly;
“and 4tli,neglecting to permit the steam to escape
when it is not working of by the engine. In
"this case wethink it evident,tliattbe explosionwas
owing to the last mentioned cause. The effects
:of it were such, as a very great head ofsteam on-
,ly could produce.
No ordinary pressure could
have occasioned such a report, (heard 10 miles)
_ blow the boilers into such fragriients,and make
such a wreck of the vessel. Either from defi-
ciency of water, ‘then, or from retaining the‘
‘steam, such a pressure was collected, and the
word ofthe engineer that there was but 8 inches
',of steam, will not weigh anything against the ef-
fects, and the alslsertion of the pilot. that there
ll-was “quite too much steam on, or of the fireman,
that the “gage rod was up to the deck." It is
‘stated in an article from the Review, that the
_apearance ofthe boilers was such as to show that
there was no deficiency of water; and the pre-
sumption ofcourse is, that the steam was not
‘blown cff, and accumulated until too great for
the strength of the boilers. This prespinptiotn
is proved correct by the testiinony of the pas-
:acngers, that during _a number of stops,‘ one of
which was 20 l7'1i77.tl3é"£, no_ steam was blown 09;‘,
_and node wasiescaping when the boat was at,
rest, at the time ofthe accident. I
There are a number of rumors iii circulation,
irespecting the cause IOIIIIIG carelessness of those
wbolbad charge ofthc eng'ine,wl'iich may or may
_not be unjust or untrue. Whether they were in-
toxicated, or fell asleep, or were deceived as to
the quantity ‘or steam, matters not; they did
'not Iciioio what it was their duty to know, nor do
Ltl'ieir'di_zt_i/._ This subject is now so well under-
stood, that unless the faultpis. in the original‘
construction of the boilers, it must be in the
lcarelessness of engineers, or the recklessness of
‘captains. It isa common remark, that boilers
are less frequently burst in racing, than when
there is no strife—the reason is, that in cases
‘where there is strife, every man is excited to at-
ltelntion, while under other circumstances, they
‘often become careless and inattentive.
Steam boat accidents are growing less
frequent, while boats and travel are multiply-
ingdaily; and it is not too much to say that
if the same number of passengers which have
iluring the last two years been transported, had
bl! been carried the same distance by land. ten
would have been killed by upsetting, where
there has been one from the bursting of boilers.

CALVIN. EDSON has lost his last inch of life,
and is again reported dead. If some one would
oil his joints, and blow a little air into him, the
macblnetiiiglit run awhile yet.
Mr. Richards, whose situation we mentioned
last week, is, we are happy to state, recovering.
GARRISON has been threatened with Tar and
Feathers in Boston. He undoubtedly deserves
reprobation for the course hefpiirsued in Eng-
land, but such is not the way in which he ought
to receive it. The silent contempt of his coun-
trymen is his best punishment. The following
.is a handbill which appeared in Boston.
“ Bostonians Awake .’ .’—Tlie true Amer-
ican has returned, alias \Villiam Loyd Gar-
rison, the ‘Negro Champion,’ from hisgrace
ful mission to the British metropolis, wheth-
er he went to obtain pecuniary aid, and the
countenance of Englishmen to arrest the
American citizen's property which he has
fought and labored for, from out of their
hands, and thereby deprive the southern
section ofourliappyunioii oftlie only means
of obtaining a livelihood. He has held
meetings in the city of London, and slan-
dered the Americans to the utmost of his
power,callingtliem a set of i7ifcrnall{enega-
dos, Turks, Arabs, &.c. and also countenan-
cing the outrageous conduct of Daniel
O’Connel, who at one of his (Garrison’s)
meetings, called us ‘a set of sheep-stealers
man murderers, and the blackest corner in
Hell’s bottomless pit, ought to be, and would
be,t/is future dcstlnatloll of the Americans ”
And this said Garrison stood by his side
and assisted him in his infamous harangue.
Americans! will you brook this conduct?
I think not. He is now in your powcr—do
not let him escape you, but go this evening,
armed with plenty of tar and feathers, and
adininister him justice at his abode at No.

VVe copy the following account of a new
method ofcatcliing crows. VVilI not this, with
our crow I:l.W, be sufficient for their extermin-
ation? \'Ve should think it might if some one
would catch the capital to begin the business on.
IIow to cafch Crows.——VVilson in his Or-
nitbology, says that crows Iiave been cin-
ployed in catching crows, by the following
stratagem :—A live crow is pinned by the
wings down to tlie_gi-ouud on his back, by
means of two sharp forked sticks. Thus
situated, his cries are loud and incessant,
particularly if any other crows are in view.
These sweeping down about him, are grap-
pled aiid held fast by the prostrate prisoner,
with the same instinctive impulse that ur-
ges a drowning man to grasp at every thing
within his reach. The game being disen-
gaged from his clutches, the trap is again
ready for another experiment; and by pin-
ning down each captive successively, as
soon as taken,iii a short time yoti will have a
large flock screaming about you, in concert
with the outrageous prisoners below.—Tliis
method of catching crows is, I believe, prac-
ticed in some parts ofEngland to catclijuys,
who make a most violent outcry when pin-
ned to the ground.——Jcss'ic’s Glcanings in

Mn. Eorror.-—A meeting oftlie school visitors
was called in your last number. Two of the
nine were at the appointed place, at the appoint-
ed liour,and two only. Ofcourse nothing was, or
could be ‘done, but to call another. New, sir,
I presume I-IICTC is not one of the gentlemen ap-
pointed who will not agree with me, that this is
not the manner in which the business ought to
be done, and that if any are not willing to act,
they ought to attend the preliminary meeting
and iuforin the others, that they may know what
will remain for them to do. This is butjustice
to others; and I trust there will be a full at-
tendance at the Lyceum ball, on Friday eve-
ning.
The names of the visitors are as follows, Rev.
Dr. Kemper, Rev. E. Hall, Doct. T. B. Butler,
J. A Weed, Doct. C. W. Taylor, J. W. Tay-

Downingville.—-A traveller ,“ down east”
has furnished the Salem Gazette a descrip-
tion of the usual abode of the illustrious
Major Jack Downing, from which we make
the following extract :
Downingville is situated on the northwest
branch of the Piscataquis, south of Moose-
Iiead Lake. It is not laid down on Green-
leaf’s Map of Maine—the only fault I have
to find with that excellent __map. I put up
my horse at Louis’ Inn, a, humble tavern,
which had a sign inscribed “ Entertainment
for Man and Beast,” and then explored my
way on foot about half a mile to the house of
Major Downing. It is a large one-story
squat mansion, unpainted, weather-beaten,
some of the clapboards off the sides,’ and the
shingles on the roof covered with moss.--
Many panes of glass were broken, and i'e-
placed only by pieces of board, old hats,
and worn-out clothes. It is a lime back
from the road, and on the east side, with a
. It is ‘stated on the authorityoftliewolodstock d
worm fence between the house and the road,
and a pair of bars to go in by. By the side
of the road, in front ofthe house, were ma-
ny plant 5 of rank and spontaneous growth,
such as burdocks, elecampaiie, milk-weed,
inulleiii, catnip, and spearmint. Between
the fence and the house was the well, with
a well-criitcli, pole and bucket, but no curb
to the well. Over the door was fastened a
large pair of deer’s horns, and on the side
of the barn, a short way oil’ were nailed two
musquasli skins to dry.
After this hasty survey of the exterior of
the Major’s rcsi(lcnce,l turned to go to-
wards the house, and, while taking down
the bars, was fiercely attacked by a large
black house dog, that came jumping, bark-
ing,& snarling at my heels, with hair erect.
In the midst of my alarm lest I should be
bitten, I was relieved by a woman coming
to the door, and crying out to the (log “ Get
out.” The dog soon retre:.ited towards the
house reluctantly smothering an angry
growl. I then approached the house and
inquired of the good woman if Major Dow-
ning was at liomc—slie with a sigh and a
dejected countenance, answered that her
husband was away and had not been at
home for a long tiine—slie could not tell
exactly where he was, but understood lie
was in the Southern States, taking care of
Government and the Bank-— she wished he
would come home, for the farm was neg-
lected and the building was going to decay,
and the children needed looking out for.
A Present.—Some person in a wagon
stopped before the door of Mr. Benjamin
Merritt, of Greeiiwicli, Ct. on Sunday eve-
ning last, and left on the stoop an unfant
child in a cradle with two suits of c1otlis.——
As it has not been called for we presume
that it was intended as a gift.
[ I/Vesta/tester Spy.
The Abbeville, S. C. \Vhig, speaks dis-
couragingly of the cotton crop in that part
of the State, but says that the corn crop will
be universally abundant——it being the gen-
eral belief that corn.will not sell for more
than twenty-five cents during the season.
An Uncommon VVeddz'~2g.-——Alioiit a fort-
niglit ago, a wedding took place at the
Collegiate Church, under circumstances
which we should suppose are without a par-
allel iii the annals of niatriniouy. The
parties we are told reside in the neighbor-
hood of St. Gcorgc’s road ; and, as Ol.ll‘ iii-
formation goes,sonie weeks since, the bride
declared in a company of female acquain-
tances, that she \\ ould give three pounds to
any one who would marry her husband and
take him off her hands. ‘ \Vill you 2” cried
one of the company, l’ll do it,’ and without
any furtlicr'cerem'ony, the bargaiii was con-
cluded. \Vheii the husband was coiisulted
he expressed himself quite willing to
make the transfer oftlie ‘trotli’ to the ad-
venturous damsel, and on the l9tli ult. they
proceeded to the Collegiate Cliurcli in a
body-,llie wife ofliciatiiig as bridesmaid, and
the uncle as grooinsinan to the happy pair.
At the alter the sclfdiscardcd wife took the
ring from her finger and presented it to the
bridegroom to place upon that of his new
bride, and when the nuptial ceremony was
ended, she duly paid over to her successor
tlie three pounds wliicli had been agreed
upon as the price oflier liberty, and presen-
ted the new married couple with a cart load
of furniture towards the formation of a new
domestic estabIi'sl‘imeiitl Of course the pe-
culiar circumstances of the case were not
made known to the clergyman who per-
formed the ceremony.—London Paper.
