Sir,—Not satisfied with my previous de- nial of his assertions in reference to sales made by me on the New Morell Road, and endeavoring to get out of a tight place, the _ Patriot of the 5th inst., in an article head-

ed *‘A Political Supervisor,” clearly Jemon- strates his utter disregard for trith. He Says ‘‘we stated that Mr. Munn had return- ed from this city after interviewing Mr. Ferguson and informed a messenger from | the contractor that the money was not forth coming.” Now. Mr. Editor, the Patriot uever made any allusion to a messenger in his article of the 21st ult., and this circum- stance shows the fallacy of the remaining |part of the article written by an editor 'whoze memory has the power to retain only the slightest reminiscences of what he had published in his own journal, but a

The ‘“‘Aurania”’ Accident. STARTLING MISHAP ON HER FIRST VOYAGE— THRILLING SCENE IN THE ENGINE-ROOM,

(New York Herald )

Up to the time of the accident the ** Aurania’s”’ voyage could scarcely be im proved upon. The pilot was taken on board on Sunday morning. Early in the afternoon the passengers were excited by the ery of ‘“‘ Land, ho!” and for several hours thereafter the bulk of the passengers flocked to the starboard rail and watched the low line of the Long Island cvast dimly visible in the distance.

A MOMENT OF TERROR.

It was while the passengers were thus engaged that the crank shait attached to the middle piston, an enormous bar of solid steel ten inches in diameter, suddenly snapped in twain. The suddenly hberated piston rod shot up through the top of the confining cylinder, tearing the thick steel plates ail to pieces, and with one tremen- dous burst and a report like that of a heavy piece of ordnance, a vast volume of steam, carrying with it fragments of iron,

Somerset School. Srr,—The semi-annual examination of the pupils of Somerset School, Lot 27, was held in the schoolroom on Friday, the 29th ult. The attendance was a large one, 50 pupils in all being present; the trustees of the school and quite a large number of the parents and other visitors were also in at- tendance, all of whom, at the conclusion, expressed themselves as highly pleased at the result of the examination.

The subjects in which the pupils were examined are as follows: Arithmetic, Grammar, Writing, Composition, Reading, History and Geography, on all of which subjects the pupils showed themselves to be very fairly posted. The reading by the pupils of ‘the different classes was, in the estimation of all present, highly satis- factory. In the history classes of various grades the pupils acquitted themselves ad- mirably, clearly showing that they were well grounded on the subject. The premptness and accuracy with which those in the elementary and advanced geography and grammar classes replied to the differ- ent questions asked them, elicited from all the visitors present the encomiums of praise and admiration, all of which is speak- ing volumes both for the ability and efficiency of the method of instruction em-

loyed by the teacher.—Mr. John E.

eDonald—under whose careful and pains- taking management the pupils have at- tained to that degree of proficiency of which they have most certainly proved themselves in possession. At the close of the examination prizes were distributed among those who had acquitted themselves most honorably, and with a few kind words of encouragement, both to teacher and pupils, by several visitors present, the scholars were dismissed for the holidays.

A Visiror.

The Chinamen who live in New York seldom if ever use their real names in business transactiong, It is their habit, when they arrive in this country, to drop their names entirely, and assume some such expressive titles as Yee Lee, which means Easy Profit, Sam Lee (Three Profits), or Dock Hop (United Virtue.) The China- men are shrewd and thrifty, and they con- sider that the suppression of their own

roper nam¢s is of great advantage to them. Vhen these industries pig-tailed laundry- men carry on correspondence with friends in China, they have their letters directed to their assumed names. Wr. Wah Lee (United Profit), fer instance, will take great delight in the consciousness that his old acquaintances in the antipodes will imagine from his American address that he is either in the banking business, or else is connected with large importing house. The innocent appearing but sly Orientals have plenty of answers to Shake*peare’s conundrum of ** What's in a name?”

A piaic occurred in a New York school last week which was attended with daager, and would have resnited in loss of life haa it not been for the promptness of the head teacher. A dragon fly, commonly known as a devil's darning needle, which is sup- posed to be employed by his Satanic Ma- jesty to sew up human ears, entered the school-reom. Several little children, pos- sessed by superstitious fears, ran screaming towards the door, and other children seeing the flight, took alarm, and raised the cry of fire. In a second five hundred children were struggling to leave the room; but the principal promptly closed the doors and suc- ceeded in restoring order.

intelligent observation, would suffice to show that the dragon fly is at once a beauti- ful and harmless insect. But superstitious fears are readily transmitved by ignorant parents and widely spread amongst the young, who, in flying from an imaginary evil, often fall into real danger.

live long enough to see the six dollars ex: | board, those on deck being frightened by

the noise of the explosion, the rush of escaping steam, and the sounds of some terrible poundiog, which was goiag on in | the lowest depths of the engine-room. | They retreated in some disorder toward |the bows. Other passengers, who were below, rushed on deck to see what the matier was. ~

EFFECT OF THE EXPLOSION,

But it was not on deck nor yet in the upper part of the engine-room that the real point of danger lay. Down three great pairs of ladders, in the depth of the ship's hull, far below the cylinders, in the dark hole where the stokers grow faint from ex- cessive heat, and where the grimy engineer on duty holds his post of responsibility, there was enacted a scene which rarely haa an equal. The lower portion of the broken crank-shaft, a mass of steel weighing many tons, was, of course, fastened to the main- shaft of the ship, and as this continued to revolve from the working of the other pistons a2 immense arm of steel went fly- ing about like a huge flail. The effect was awful. Iron and steel was knocked to splinters. A supporting column of wrought iron a foot in thickness was breken in two, and one piece weighing a ton was bitten out, so to speak, Whenever the flail struck destruction followed. The air, already chocked with scalding steam, was filled with sparks of fire, caused by the blows of steel on steel and iron. The place was infernal. Nothing but prompt action could save the sheathing of the vessel from being pounded through. The engine must be stopped. And yet the little steel brake which con- trolled the whole tremendous mechanism was situated only about two feet from the arm of the thrasher and right in the midst of the scalding steam and the blistering sparks,

ANDREW LAMBERT’S BRAVE ACT.

Andrew Lambert, the second engineer, promoted from the ‘ Bothnia,” was on duty in the engine room. He is a tall, brawny Seotchman of some three or four and thirty. When the crank shaft broke and the engine room was turned into pan- demomium, Mr. Lambert was standing near one of the atoke rooms, some twenty or thirty feet from the brake. He saw and felt the dense mass of steam and noted the lightning of the flying sparks. He knew knew the engine must be stopped. To see the contro.ling brake was an imporsibility, but he knew that instinct would take him to it, and, dropping down on his hands ard knees, he crawled up to it, and turned off the steam. The shaft had made about twenty revolutions before he was able to get the engine under contro). He was badly scalded about the face and hands, bat otherwise uninjured. But he had risked his life to save the ship

AFTER THE ACCIDENT,

As soon as quiet was restored, Captain Haius went to work to overcome the diffi- culties into which his ship had been sud- denly plunged, and the passengers are unanimous in praising the good seamanship displayed. Andrew Lambert was the hero of the day. His noble con/uct was in everybodys mouth. Captain Hains, who is no nivgard, praised his action t» the echo, and s.id it was only a happy chance that he did not meet death in place of a slight scalding. The Chief Engineer said h+ only did his duty, ‘‘ out then,” he addei, ‘‘every man couldn't be depended on to his duty in such a place.” S8o a testi- monial subscriprion wes opened end £73 ®as speedily raised among. the cabin pas- sengers. ‘*

A somewhat novel experiment in the way of prohibitory legislation is being tried in New Jersey. The Levislature ot that State at its last session passed a law prohibiting the sale of cigaretts and tubacco in any form to minors under sixteen years of age, and on July lst the Act went into oper- ation. A measure of this kind cannot fully accomplish the aim, but in so far as it proves successfal the health of the New Jersey youth will be benefited,
