ski, J of the same tame, ;;bout four miW srom iLe open fen. The river whicheparates it from the main-land is yeiy\iJe, and the tiJo runs with gre::t rapid-ty, having ordinarily a ri:-o of overwui.ty feet.

At the mouth of the harbor, wilh ibahanuel on both sides, stnnd the cl<;i-hats, very large and dangerous cnral-ce!s, avoided carefully by all seafaring

men, aud particularly by the Chinesnfishermen, who dread tbe effect of tbeiharp ccral spurs upon their not verytrong bouts. Those reefs are sonie-ivhat uncovered at low water, but at

rh tide arc completely out of sight.One afternoon in December, n.y hus-

band, who was the captain of an Ameri-can vessel t lieu in the port, and a friend

f ours, an English naval officer, propnsed tha' we should take a sail downhe harbor in our yacht, a little pleasureloatofsome thirty or forty tons' bur-

den.The weather was fine, and the u'ual

aiitlo northeast I reez-> \va9 blowing,which prevails during ihe wiuter months

i China, but still I could not divest mymind of a certain feeliog of apprehension.I never did like small boats, they areIO likely to be upset, particularly whencommanded, as was the caso at thinime, by seafaring men so used to hand-ing large craft that they do not realizelie caution ueeeesury iu sailing a little

boat.My husband overruled my objections,

nd insisted that nothing could happento UP. I therefore oousented to go my-self, but stood out wiih regard to my

hildren, and utterly refu.-cd to takethem.

I t was about half-past two when weeft the wharf, and dropped out into the

stream. The wind was very nearly fuir,and we had a splendid run dowu theharbor, with the wide, beautiful, opensea before us.

Every thing was so charming, the airso clear nud bracing, that I forgot allmy feais, and enjoyed the passing mo-ment to the utmost; go that it was I whoasked for au extension of our voyage,whim we ought to have turned our faceshomeward.

At last, the eapta n of our little crafidecided that we must turn back. As Imentioned before, we had been runningwitt tho wind but ihe moment we weutabout, we becume conscious of such agreat increase in its force that, (is vo be-gan to beat up the sticura against it,seemed almost a gale.

No one who has not fecn the suddengathering of squiills in the China 8ea rcan form any idea cf how almost in-stantaneously the sky will fill with eloudiand the wind increase to a hunicane.

We were to experience i t ! Aa weturned on the starboard tick, weuoticcdthe gathering of tho clouds, and heardtl.e ungry scream of the wind, tho pre-monition of tho coming tempest. .Be-fore we could tuko in any sail, the squallstruck VLB !

There was an instant of horriblo confusion, in which I heard the slapping otthe sails, thu snapping of corcrage, thehis8 aud bubble of the foaming eea, audthen followed a jerk that threw me complotely over—sudden daikuess, and iplunge into ice-cold water. Our boahad been over-turned.

With the natural instinct of self-preservation, aided by some s'i^ht knowl-edge of swimming, I beat the water withmy hajids, and managed to sustain my-self for an instant (which seemed siu

both expert swimmers, were beside meand held me up. Fortunately, none ofus had reeeived any jnjury from brokenspars or blows of any kind. But, thoughwe were not immediately drowned, whatwere we to do ? The water was verycold, our pretly littlo boat was bottomup, and drifting, iulaud with the tide,which had just turned ; the city lay a1' ng dist muo off, and the night was clos-ing last about us.

We looked around and discovered, inthe gathering darkness, that we werenear the dreaded reefs of the chauchals,and that some of the rocks were stillabove water. This was our oidy hopeNever before had the chauchats beenlooked upon in tho light of friends, Iimagine. My husband swam with me,and, before many minutes, we were allstanding on a small flat space on thereef, abuut two or three feet square.

We felt reprieved. Hero at least wewere out of the water, and, though 1was wet a d very cold, I thought fomebelated fishing boat would be likely tocome aud take us off. I thought of mylittle ones at home, and hoped that Ishould see them again, a hope which, afew miuutes before, when struggling iuthe water, I had utterly abandoned.

But suddenly we becane aware thatour positi m was any thing but one ofsafety. Tlii.- tide was coming in ! In afew minutes the place where we stood

j would lie covered. Tho angry waveslapped about the reef, like monsters hungry !or their i.rey.

The water rneo steadily until it reach-ed my knees I found that I was growing iiun:b. The cold was so painful thatI could no longer endure it, and beggedmy husband to leave me to die, and tomake an attempt to swim across thechannel, to some smull na'ive bu!s onthu other side, whe:e he could get somekind of a boat to take him back to Amoy.I urged him to do this lor tho sake ofour children, who uiiuht ekse be leftfatherless and motherless in a strangeland.

He vvcmld not listen to me. l ie andour friend rubbed my hands, and press-ed me close to them to keep whatwarmth they could in my benumbedbody. Al! this time, which was in rca ity so short, and yet which has taken totell, the water was rising, rising, rising.

We at length saw a boat to windwardof us, but the howling of tho storm, acdthe washing of the blinding sprav, wasthe o;:ly answer we received to our re-pea' ed slicuts for help.

The bitterness of death seemed past.I felt as if the word were ever. 1 wen-Jered, in a dull, apathetic wny, if mysister." and friends in my fara-.vay Amer-ican IK ma would ever know of my end.I thought whether our bodies would bewashed en to the beach for curious Ch:-

eyes to peer at, and greedy Chinesehands lo rifle I thought of my dear'ittlc ones in Ainoy, and with the thoughtcame tho feeling that God, in His ir.fi-iite goodnes-s i;nd mercy, could notucan to take their protectors from them

so far from homo and friends.For some time we were all silent, and

For such a man todo such a thing was, to say the least,surprising. 1 listened with breathlessinterest while he gave me a brief historyof his experience during the first teuyears of his residence in that celebratedcity.

Said he :

Gen. Porter's CaseThe Washington correspondent of the

World says:The sensation of the Seua'e to d. y

was a (studied and bitter onslaught bySenator Chandler, upon lu.z Jobu Porter, involving incidental denunciation ofGens. McClellan and Franklin. I t hasbeen understood for somo lime that thisspeech was being prepared, and to-day itwas poured forth to the great satisfac-tion of tin-s<! Radical Senators who hateDemocratic generals of the war far morebitterly thau they do the people of theSouth. Mr Chaudler quoted a gooddeal of published nnd unpublished testimony tending to damsge Gen. Porter,bis two principal witnesses being himselfand au officer of Congress whose namehe declined to give. Upon tho testimo-ny of this anonymous putriot, he con-structed a highly euthusiastio peroration.The speech went to show that I'ope WHScertain beforehand that he would bostruck and whipped, but that victorywas iu his grusp if Porter had inarchedto his relief. The entire speech was ofthe violent and (startling characterwhich might be expected from its author.When it was fin;shed Mr. Wilson, ofMassachusetts, made a few calm andsensible observations in favor of rehear-ing the caso. I t would oppear from to-day'ri manipulations that there is adivision among the Republicans ou thisquestion of a uew trial, and that Chan-dler is the organ of those who are afraidto have it take place.

Withall the order and sociality of a party con-fined in private parlors, it was the affair ofthe season, and we heard the brotherhoodfrom Ypsilanti, Detroit, and other placesspeak their satisfaction.

Sidewalks—the Mabilty of the City.We give below the charge of Judge Ilia-

BY, in the case of l&ABTEH against the Cityof Ann Arbor, the result of which wo announced last week. The ease was closelycontested, not so much because of I heamount of damage claimed by the plaintiffand immediately in issue, but because ofthe principle Involved:Gentlemen of the Jury :

This action is brought by the plaintiffsagainst the defendants for the recovery ofdamages for injuries alleged to have beenreceived by the plaintiff, Cynthia MftSten,the wife of the other plaintiff, caused, asclaimed bv the plaintiff, by her falling upon

sidewalk in the city of Ann Arbor, italso being claimed by the plaintiffs thai bytlie negligence of the defendant si:rh wide-walk at the place where she so fell was outof repair, and blocked up and obstructed hyaccumulations of ice and snow, and thattier fall and consequent injury was caused>y such obstructions, and by the walk being

out of repair, without any negligence orfault of her own.

You see, gentlemen, that the foundation ofthe action and claim of the plaintiffs is theleglect by the defendant of a legal duty

claimed to be. imposed upon It, and to sustain this, under the declaration in this case,t became necessary for the plaintiff lo

show that it was the legal duty of the de-fendant to keep the sidewalk in question,on the east side of Division street, near thecorner of Ann and Division streets, at thejlace where the injury occurred, in repair,

and free from obstruction by snow, ice,dirt and wood, and that the defendant ne-glected such duty, and by reason of suchneglect, the plaintiff, Cynthia M&cten, re-ceived the injury and sustained the dama-ges of which she complains.

Iu reference to the duty of the defendant?,I charge you, as requested by the defend-ant's counsel, that; 15y the act of incor-poration of the City of Ann Arbor it is notmade the duty of defendants to constructsidewalks or to keep them iu repair afterbeing constructed. Power and authorityare given them to do so, but such powerand authority are of a legislative and dis-cretionary character, and it is wholly discretionary with the Common Councilwhether it will exercise such power or not.Therefore the defendant is not liable iu acivil action for injuries caused by a defective sidewalk. It is, therefore, your duty togive a verdict for the defendant.

Also that there is no legai evidence inthis case that the defendant or any of itsofficers ever laid or authorized to be laidany plank walk on the east side of Divisionstreet, or ever exercised any control overa»y such plank walk, and, therefore, theplaintiff cannot recover.

1 refuse the plaintiff's request to charge,except the 4th one, in reference to the meas-ure of damages, which Is a correct state-ment of the law, though, under the chargesalready given, immaterial in this case.

We did not hear AXXA DICKIXSON1 onFriday evening last, and hear so many di-verse opinions of her lecture that we shallnot attempt to write it up. As usual shegathered a fuil house of admirers and curi-osity seekers, attracted alike by her fumeand crinoline, her acknowledged ability asa speaker—for a woman, and her reputa-tion for saying sharp things. Her subjectwas "To tfte Rescue," and it turned out thatnan was the being to be rescued, and thatt is to be done by women, through thejallot box ; though we understand that shedid intimate that marriage might havesomething to do with it.

— Miss DICKINSON remained in the cityover Sunday, and on Monday visited theUniversity, and heard a lecture by Judge

OOI.EY, on the "Marriage Relation," afterwhich we trust she will take pity upon oneof the many men whom report says havelaid their hearts at her feet. "To therescue" should be her motto.

A Musical Convention is now in ses-sion at Dexter, which is Ceing quite wt !1attended, and creating considerable interest. Prof. W. J.

It is the intention of Mr. JENKIXSto close tl>e convention with a concert,upon which occasion the best musical tal-ent of the place will be brought out, andan evenings entertainment furnished, whichall will want to atteud. Next Thursdayevening, if we are not mistaken, is set apartfor the occasion.

On Monday last, our little go-aheadneighboring city, Ypsilauti, voted aid to theToledo, Ypsilauti and Saginaw Air LineRailroad, iu the sum of $55,000, an uncon-ditional donation. The vote stood, yes,682; no, 4.

We learn from an article from the Burliugton (Vt.)

Mr. PLXSHOX has*cady flow of langoage,and a rare skill In theelection of words and their arrangementito sentences. Iiis delivery Is rapid, butnnuhclatlon plain and distinct, with aerfect command of voles. His recitationsrom MACAVI.AY'.S works proved his famll.arity with them, his appreciation of their'Oints,of beauty and strength,and his ownOWer over and audience. The renderingf the passage from Horatlus was like the

novement of a young Niagara, and not anadltorbutsaw the scene like a thing of

ife. Without further notice, suffice it toay that on PonSHOM'8 next appearance the

Tho dissatisfaction of the pub-lic with this course, however, finally be-eame so'great, that eonio breeders anddealers submitted the lieece of soiaa oftheir sheep to the scouring test

Within tlie past few raoutlis, theweights of several of theso heavy fleecesas they atood both before nud after go-ing through a scouring process, were pub-lished iti the Rural New Yorker. Theper eentage of what was represent-ed us clean wool in some of these fleoc-«a was greater than many persons, wellacquainted with such wool, expected,and in some quarter* doubts were ex-pressed as to the thoroughness of thescouring process to whibh the. wool hadkeen subjected.

Facts hnve lntely been elicited in re-gard to this subject, which ara worthy ofnotice. Mr. I . N Johnson, of Ovid,N. Y., writea-to Dr. Randall, editor ofthe sheep-hu-'bandry department of theMural New Yorker, that he fold on the3t+i of July last, his entire lot of Meri-no wool to the Waterloo Woiden Mau-ufaoturinj? Company. The wool con-sisted of 4,208 lbs. of unwashed wool,and 490 lba. of washed, making in all4t698 lbs., for which he was to receive80 cents per lb. "uriutt scoured clean."—According to the statement of the su-perintendent of tho company, U. W.Cook, the amount of scoured wool ob-tained from tho 4,098 lbs. in the conditton it was received, was 1,512 lbs.

Ineluded in this lot were two fleeceswhich had been scoured by other manu-facturers, though reckoned in this casent their gross weight. One of thesefleeces was that of a Merino ram. ownedby Mr. Johnson, which v/eiglied, whentaken from the sheep, IS lbs. 8 oz , andas scoured by Wm. Ha'yden, of Auburn,5 lbs. 4 oz. After being sooured byMr. Cook, it weighed 4 lbs. C oz —ashrinkage from Mr. Ilaydeu's scouringafc l i o z .

The other fleeoe in question wes thato f s sheep which wa? entered for thePottle and Cossit prizo of the NewYork State Sheep breeders' Associationin 1SGG. Tl;e fleece weighed, unwashed ,17.43 lbs. it was ecoured by w. A. I R.0 . BEOWNiNG-, Gen. AgentDuucan, of Syracuse, tor thu Associa-tion, arid weighed, after scouring, 5 855Ib3. After being resconred by Mt,Cook, it weighed 4 lbs. 14 oz. showing^shrinkage from the former scouring ofone pound two ounces.

J5r. Randall, in commenting on theseresults, says that '-if no mistake has ooeurred, they are very surprising." I t ishardly probable that everyone will shareBr. R/s surprise in this case, or that allwill draw from these, results the conclusion which he seems to have done, that"misthke or fraud had probably occurr-ed" somewhere. The more reasonableconclusion is, that the variation in theresults is due to tho difference in conducting the scouring process. The Waterloo Woolen Manufacturing Companyare said to be largely engaged iu thmanufacture of woolen shawls, and inorder to get their wool perfectly clean

OQ

g p yput it through two separate cleansingsBut Dr. Randall quotes from letters bvarious manufacturers, which show lhawool may La perfectly cleaned by onoscouring. The point is that it be cleanand that scoured by Mr. Cook was uomore than this. There is uadoubtedlja difference in the cleanliness o£ what icalled by different persons cleansetwool ; but it does not seem necessary tsuppose that this difference arises frorranything more than the different standards of cleanliness aimed at or accomplished.—Laming, {N.

SWEET OIL FOR POISONS.—A plainformer says : " I t is cow over twentyjeard einco I learned that sweet oilwould cure the bite of a rattlesnake, notknowing it would cure any kind of poison, both on man or beast. I think nofarmer should be without a bottle of itin the house. The patient must take aspoonful of it internally, and batho the•wound for a cure. To cure a horse, itrequires eight times as much as it doesfor a man. Here let me suy, of one ofthe most extreme cases of snake bite inthis neighborhood—eleven years agothis summer—where the ease had beenthirty days standing, and the patient• s given up by his physicians. Iheard of it and carried the oil, and gaveone spoonful, which effected a euro. I tia an antidote for arsenic and strychnineI t will euro bloat in cattle by eating toofreely of fresh clover ; it will cure bitesof bees, spiders, or other insects, andwill euro persons who have been poison-ad by a low running vino in the mead-o w , called ivy.—Ohio Farmer,

MEERIMA0 D. PRINTSJCST RECEIVED AT TI1K

A dressing -whichis at once agreeable^healthy, aud effectualfor preserving thehair. Faded or grayhair is soon restored,to its original colorwith the gloss andfreshness of youth.Thin, hair is thick-

ened, falling hair cheeked, and bald-ness often, though not always, curedby its use. Nothing can restore thohair where the follicles are destroyed,or tho glands atrophied and decayed..But such as remain can be sared forusefulness, by this application. Insteadof fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.Its occasional use will prevent tlie hairfrom turning gray or falling off, anilconsequently prevent baldness. Freefrom those deleterious substances whichmake some preparations dangerous andinjurious to tho hair, the Vigor canonly benefit but not harm it. If wantedmerely for a
