It is well known that Spectacles cat from Brazilian or ( Scotch Pebbles are very Injurious to the eye, because of. ^ their polarizing effect. . Having been tested with the polarscope, the diamond ( lenses have been found to admit fifteen per cent, lesa heated rays than any other pebble. 1 They are ground with great scientific accuracy, are ( free from chromatic aberrations, and produce a btightness and distinctness of vision not before attained in Spectacles. 1 Manufactured by the Spencer Optical Manufacturing Company, New York. For sale by t J. A. YOUNG, Camden, S. C. , From whom they can only be obtained. No peddlers 1 employed. ( The great demand for these Spectacles has indhccd unscrupulous dealers to palm an Inferior and spurious < article for the " Diamond."

Mr. James Dugan. who arrived in New Fork from Sidney, Cape Breton, on Thnrslay last, gives the following account of a vreckdfl brig, which the schooner Lancaster in which Mr. Dugan was a passenger) came ip with and boarded, op Thursday, the 19th if September. On the night of the 18th nit., a strong lead wind prevailed. At different, peripda lie Captain's attention was drawn to a nysterions object, now off the" port and now : iff the starboard bow. The look-outs were continually reporting the black hull that tept in sight all tbo time, until tbe Captain i *ave his opinion that the object seen ahead iras a dismasted and deserted vessel. * The Ah.tAnAd r oMnoofnr vera a Knnri/1 t/\ SvJnAV. tUliUUUUi Jifluviwwi n?w wuuw w- ^ } L'ape Breton, from Charlottetown, Prince Edward's Island, with, a cargo of produce, xnd the.wiod increased so stongly before lay break that the Captain was compelled to irder a large deck load to be thrown over>oard, to lighton the vessel. Just after 1 lawn the unknown object hove in sight igain; bat none of those on watch conld disinctlv make ont what it was. The Captain, ipwever, satisfied himself that was an absn- < loned vessel. It rang eight bells, and the teward announced breakfast ready. While .t breakfast, the second mate, Mr. Prior, tarried into the cabin, and addressing himelf to the Captain, said: ''There's an ababloneded hall adrift off the starboard quarter; ter span are gone, and sbe looks to. haye teen a brig or brigantine." Soon after Cap- . ain Martain went oo deck the hullofalarge raft was plainly discernable off the starboara raarter, about two points to the VorthWord. . [bat the dismasted vessel had been deserted here was no question, as the heavy mast ras being tossed about like * log. The laptain gave orders to bear away for the rreok, and at midday the schooner Lancater was broadside to the abandoned vessel, "t was a well shaped, strongly-built hull, but he bulwarks and stanchions bad been badly lealt with by the elements, and the whole raa much weather-beaten. At one bell, or half an hour after noon, j be wind had so subsided as to admit of thjB owering of a boat, in which CapL Martin, of he Lancaster, and Mr. Rntledge, the mate, Mr. Prior, second mate, remaing in charge f the schooner,) two seamen and Mi*. James ' )ugan pat oat for the wreck. On boarding t, a dismal sigbtpresented itself. Splintered 1 tmfowon. Jlpre dismal still were tbo scenes "j rhich further inv^lgantnrbraujtht tolight^ 3elow a heap of motley rigging, broken by ho weight of a spar which lay aoross it, were he bones of a human being?a skeleton.? w I 11 1 !

Further searoh evealed five other skclotons. A slight covring of crisped flesh remained on four of the ' kelctons, showing that they had died more ecently than the other two. Many of the 1 [tonsils of the galley wcro found, and Cap- 1 ain Martin made a strict search among ' hem to assure himself whether thero had ] een nny food on board at the time of the leath of these men. Not a single remaining 1 ot or vessel of any nature in the cooking 1 epartment of the ill-fated craft contained ' he least particle of food. This discovery 1 eemcd to satisfy the Captain that all on 1 nurd had perished from hunger, having 1 ailed, after months of eager expectation ' nd short allowance, to meet any helping * and. The spectacle on board the dreary ( cpulchral hull was at least appalling.

In the ' irecastle, which was almost filled with wa- < ir,amost unearthly sight was discovered, and nly two men could be found to enter and emain long enough inside to report what hey had seen there. There were two corpses ' n the floor and one stretched across a "bank." . 'hesc sad relics were removed on deck, and < he nine bodies were arranged in line and < overed in canvas by the Captain's order. i The wheel house had been carried away, i nd the fastenings of the rudder broken. < 'his, as the Captain remarked, was the i rork bf some tremenduous sea. The fore-, i lost mast had been cut away to save the i essel from foundering?one of the extrem- < st emergencies in a hurricane at sea. The ' ibboom was gone, and the entire craft, as < he then appeared, was the most complete 1 rreck Captain Martain had seen or heard of i ? i - n 1_ /L-i n ins nautical experience 01 neariy iuny ears. Entering the cabin, a foul odor was disovered, but not intense enough to forbid a i horough investigation. Toward the end of ho steps leading down the cabin a fetid pool f water vas seen, and the men had to wade hrough it in order to reach every portion if the cabin. Between a stationary table and i couch, the head of a corpse protruded from i berth in the wall, and, when brought on leek, it was found to be in a state of decay. buttoned jacket of good material, blue >an'aloons, a flannel shirt markod F." ind one boot, covered the corpse. The thronometer in the cabin pointed to 4J >'ci ck. and ou the stationary table was an pen Bible turned downward, a revolver | vith two chambers loaded, and a bottle con* aining a piece of paper, upon which was vritten : "Jesus, guide this to some hleper. Vlerciful God, don't let us perish." The arords were detached, and a hiatus occurred jetween every two or three of theui. which : iliuwcu that the writer must have bceu ei- j thor or driven to madness by. hunger.

The New York Commercial Advertiser comes to their relief with the information that the Courts have already decided that a man who buys a ticket, as it were between Boston and York, lias been the undoubted right to ;top at any place on the road and to resume his journey as his leisuro without buying another ticket. The legend, "good for this date only," lias no value in the eyes if anv save railway officials, and the law has lecitfed that any action taken by conductors with a view to enforcing the implied contract is allegal. There the matter should be allowed to rest, The public are sat Wed so to leave it, and the railway companies ought not to complain. If a man buy a ticker ?o Boston and the company receive the money fhr it there is no reson why they should re Fuse - to carry him thither, or why they should wish to force him to do it to suit their convenience instead of his own. f f ... * " ?

One day, while reading a morning paper, his attention wak' attracted to an advertisement headed "Personal," stating that one of his name would find it to hia advantage to address a certain party In New York. The name was familiar to him, and he concluded to answer the advertisement. Ho did so, giving his address, and in due time received a letter stating that his uncle had died in New York, leaving property to the amount of 6.000,000, which the deceased had willed to him. He was astonished, and could hardly believe that the news was true until it was confirmed. Upon its confirmation. he cast off his greasy clothes, ana torsaiting the sacred precintcs of the kitchen, he don lied u new raiment and departed for his estate in New York, a richer if not a better man.
