The dead bodies of the mate and three sailors were found on the beach where they had been washed up during the night. The single survivor of the wreck was E. Beimann. He was brought at once to this city, and gave the following account of the loss of the vessel: The Thurlow, on her voyage from Hills- j boro to New York, encountered rough weather off the Hnino coast, and, as the storai increased, the captain decided to ftwtUnd Harbor for shelter. He was I only a few miles out from Portland Harbor when the rudder ropo parted, and tho ship became disabled and at the mercy of the heavy sea. The captain and crew tried to repair the steering-gear, bat, while they were thus engaged, the sohooner struck on the reef. Ail three masts were carried away by the force of the compact, one of the topmasts striking the captain and crushing one of his legs. The men were-ordered to jump for their lhres. Beimann was caught by a huge w&to aad hurled into the sea. He was washed ?p on the beach of the island three times, hat was unable to obtain a foothold, being swept back by the undertow. . He managed to get hold of one of the spars and clung to it for a long time. Finally, he was earned on to the beach, where the receding waves left him safe. He lay ? there benumbed with cold and exbansf~ tad ny his battle with the waves, if " for seme time.

Ho loft tbe weapon sticking in the wound. As the unfortunate man tottered through the stage door and fell to the floor the murderer stood coolly by.

Til* Prevent Need A Kishop's Opinion on the Temperance Qnotion Advocates of Total Abstinence Have the Kespect of All Classes Kvils of Drunkenness. At a recent meeting of the Catholic Total Abstiuence Union of Philadelphia, Bishop Prendergast made an addret&s to the delegates, in which be said: "Wo have active members, honorary members, and what might be called sympathetic members. For some reason, hard for you to understand, these will not work and give their names to your cause. This may be inconsistent, and wo may say that they are not doing all they could do, but one of the beet efTeets of the work of the total obslinence societies is the change they have brought about in publio opinion regarding the use of intoxicating liquor. "It used to be an evidenee of crankiness for one to be a total abstainer. Now you bare the respect and sympathy of aii classes. I would remind you that the fathers of the Council of Baltimore, in urging upon Catholics to unite in extirpating the pestiferous evil of drunkenness, urged Sriee ts and people to do so for love of region and for lore of country, two of the highest motives to be proposed to any right-minded man or woman. Drunkenness not oniy destroys religion in its victim, but brings disgrace on religion itself. It was one of the objections in the past (and, unfortunately, there is some of it left) urged against Catholics. It is aa evil against the country. It destroys the citizen and the family. For love of religion and for love of country the Council of Baltimore urges priests and people to unite in extirpating this evil." xoe SIBBOp WBBieU IUM UN lUIUlg uiu- i tive for work most be supernatural tbe I salvation of souls.

Its firesence is death. Fc : the Government to cgalize, sanction, or protect it is to form a leagno with hell and dostruetlon.
