VAN SLYKE, Kditor. TBE LAST LOST STEAStKR. Another wail of sorrow comes up ? from the Sea, and this time from the usually quiet waters of the Pacific, whose vessels seldom founder from the violence of wind and waves. The Steamship Pacific, of the Pacific mail I A line "while on the passage fromJPort- *" land"Oregon^to San Francisco, on the 4th, and but a half day out'of portj at eight! o'clock in the evening*} went : down with her crew and passengers, a hundred and twenty souls, and all were ; lost save one, who barely survives, after hisjhardships! and privations of a day t and two Slights spent on a remnant of ; th© wreck to tell a scant tale of the terrible fate of his fellows, and noth- * • ing certainjof ite cause. The small n-""*' boats were put in requisition forescaje & r from the"abandoneil steamer, bsSt they also went down, says the surviving - passenger, from causes Unmentioned fT5""" if known by him. He was so fortunate a4fto secure, together with another passenger, a perch «n a part of the pi­ lot house, but his companion, less able to stand the rigors of the exposure, perished before the rescue by a passing vessel. There were harrowing scenes trans­ piring*! n that ocean waste, probably, which well never come to human ear. T.iere were women and children among the ill-fated passengers, as well as meu, and there must have been experienced all the horrors which ever attend a vessel foundering at sea, that most des- solate and melancholy.of all. catastro- phies. The Pacific, the account says, was a wooden side-wheeled steamer, of 900 tons burdea, and had a carrying ca­ pacity o£sixty cabin and on* hundred steerage passengers. She was among the older vessels of the Pacific mail company, and had been engaged in the coast service for sOme time. This fact may give rise to inferences that she was liiiRp.aworthv. "rwir itnr.ll rh« T»rojr»*- ble «*3e snrrlwor recovers strength and memory sufficient to disclose what hes knows of all the civeoinstances, the pnb^' lie will be at a loss to form opinions in" the matter. We surmise,however, that It will prove the same -old story. A vessel entirely unseaworthy, which the * penurious wners had been running On "borrowed time," for months, and per­ haps years, utterly regardless of the lives of the traveling public, until sud- M denly, In mid-ocean the old hulk goes down ant all en board ane lost. These startling-and herritfie head-Qlnes meet : '4 ithe eye painfully often of late, anflitis time that something was done *to prevent these niggardly ship owners from luring passengers into their rotten •old vessels. A few coats of paint covers up what too often proves to be a fleat~ 2 ng .coffin. *Welearn that the residence of Dr. E .. Dennett, at Woodstock, was entered by ^burglars on Thursday night last, and (Clothing and other, property, to the ramount of between four and five hun­ dred dollars stotaqp, among which was a Qiandsome Surgical Case, containing "Surgical Instruments, whi eh the Doctor prized very highly, asjt was a present to him lathe old country. 'This alone was worth $75. Ho clue as yet, has been ^obtained of the thief. N U N D A . EDITOR PLAIN DEALER>-Mrs. Sarah Huntley, sister of C. E. Warnerv came last week from York State* The funeral of Thompson Dilley was held last week Wednesday. Quite a large concourse of friends followed the remains to Crystal Lake for interment, fie went over to his mother-in-laws, Mrs. Rowley's, Sunday and was taken sick'and died Monday night. When the above funeral procession was going to the school house, some of the smaller boys were running across a pond of water on a plank, which frightened a team, they starting up quick jerking the hind seat out of the buggy, on which two ladies were sit­ ting, 'Mrs. Loyelace and Mrs.' Nora Tenant,.Mis, Tenant being hurt very badly. Ilelm, & Camel move their entire sjtock this week to Forksville. Lake county. , ^ John DeGrushe is talking of going to Hampshire. So w# hear. Mrs. Ann Dilley has opened a asew Restaurant in Colkins building, oppo^ site the depot, where she will keep bread, pies, cakes, crackers, candies, nuts, oysters, and all articles usually kept in a first class bakery and restau­ rant. MVs, Dilley Is w«rtthy of patronage and we- hope our citizens will take hold and help her in her new enterprise. Miller & Smith are putting on the finishing touches to Dr. Ballou's house, in the shape of painting. No more scrip, and the bands at the factory are pleased to have greenbacks once more, so they can be free to trade where tliey choose. ~**We learn the scrip was ordered in and no more to go out last Saturday. Law is law, and must be lived up to. One map cannot run this whole country and issue his own money, to come back to himself for trade. So says Uncle Samuel. The store lately occupied by 0. G.
