This is the second wreck from which he has escaped with his life, the first being that of the steamer Golden Gate, which was lost off Acapulco, on the Pacific coast, in 1863. She was burned to the water’s edge, and O’Brien was one of the twenty-five per sons who swam ashore, a distance of seven miles. Soon after the Metropolis struck and began to break up, there was a general rush for the rigging. O’Brien secured a position high on the main mast, but when it became apparent that the only chance for life was to ewita ashore-he boldly jumped from the rig- _oyer tEe^reada^f^the others and struck 'but^for the uhore,' j vhioh he _ eW York »nd Agreed toToSormfiv rates from Boston to the West A, plan was also adopted for stopping the cutting of rates in the West.

Realizing the peril of his fgllow- ! passengers, O’Brien hastened over~~lo ^Vt he^is'of the Currituck Club house, three-quar ters of a mile distant, where he procured a pair of overalls and a quantity of dry matches. He returned, built several fires, after which began the work which marks him as a hero. The sea was full of the struggling victims buffeting with the breakers, and, one by one, they were sinking, never to rise again with [ when O’Brien, at ten o’clock, 'fclungec boldly in to the rescni». One by one he brought Jlie nearly exhausted and, in 9'lhslances, half dead victims ashore and placed them in the bauds of others at the fires. He never halted until five o’clock in the evening, when the last survivor had reached the shore. In the seven hours during which he was thus engaged O’Brien had saved nearly fifty people, many of whom would have per ished but for his great boldness and manly aid. The last and crowning act of this great feat of hnmanity was the rescue of Mrs. Annie Huet, the only surviving female | of the wreck. She wa s struggling feebly with the breakers, supported only by a life-preserver, but evidently ex hansted and about to sink.

She was alive, however, and was at once subjected to the somewhat barbarous remedy of being rolled upon a barrel to get the salt water out of her and then placed upon a bed beside one of O’Brian’s fires. In about thirty min utes she awoke to find her husband beside her. He had washed ashore about forty yards below on the beach, and when dragged out his first exclama tion was : “Is my wife drowned?” He was told she was saved, and, over joyed, was carried to her side, where he remained until she had opened her eyes to realize that both had escaped watery graves. What “Chuck” Smelt. There is a schoolboy in Detroit whom all the boys call “Chuck.” His full name may be Woodchuck, or Chuck-a- luck—“ it makes no difference,” as the sweet siuger of Michigan says. The boy hes given a great dsal of attention to school panics, fire escapes and public doors ^hich open the wrong way, ttL&ria, was his belief until the other d; the scholars ifi each jehool shoi trained to run dowu'stalls, en masse at the cry of fire. As the teaolfd js dran’t seem to agree with him, he determined to inaugurate a new idea—“Chuck’s Celebrated Bush Down Stairs.” He couldn’t keep the idea to himself after inventing it, but confidentially in formed some of his companions that ex actly at ten o’clock in the forenoon he should rise in his seat and call out to the teacher; “ I smell smoke—I guess the building is on fire!” If that didn’t start ’em he meaut to cry “fire !” till the tide of immigration began to set down stairs. Everything went off all right during the morning, and when ten o’clock came “ Chuck ” was “ there.” He rose up, according to programme, and began: “ Teacher, I smell—” At the third word some one picked him up, tied him in a hard knot, untied him, and played with him like a ball, and finally sat him down in a badly de moralized heap and softly asked: ‘ ‘ What was it that you smelt ?” Chuck got his breath, looked up into the face of the principal, and humbly replied; “It may h-have been n-new mown hay, but I-I wont swear to it!” The boys who peached on him come to school late and go home early, but “Chuck’s” time is coming.—Detroit Free Press. perfectly which bfc furnishes tin ing New York physicians, who certify to his sanity ; that one of his sons sent a letter to Mrs. Hicks, threatening to kill her, h's own children and himself, and that the reason why he kept himself and wife seclnded w- 2 because he was apprehensive of somn n-A-of violence on the part of his son.

C., the seen* of the recent terrible disaster to the United States steamer Huron. The Metropolis had on board a large force of workmen engaged to assist in bnilding a new railroad in South America and her cargo consisted almost entirely of iron and steel rails and other material tc be used in constructing the road. The first "eports of the disaster were meagre on account of the lack of"teie- I graphic communication with the- point at which he wreck occurred ; our ir. seems that the ves sel s nick at about 6:30 p. at., aud the huge waves at once began to sweep over her and her to pieces. Of the three hundred e persons on board about fifty reached ore in safety, while many others were overboard and lost. The scene on board, as described by survivors, was terrible. All order was at an end and a scene of terror ensned. Many women were on board, and of these the great majority, if not all, were lost. Further reports from the scene of disaster to the s'eamer Metropolis state that the number of lives lost will be close upon one hundred. According to the statements of the captain and survivors the vessel sprung a leak soon after leaving Philadelphia. For some time the water Was kept out by the pumps, but the cir culating pump gave out eventually and the ru-h of water through tho leak began to in crease rapidly. The vessel was heavily laden and began to labor beavilv in the trough of the sea and fill rapidly. Ii was then determined to head her for shore and run her upon the beach. At 4 o’clock the word was passed for all hands to provide themselves with life-pre servers. A* 6:45 a. m., the day just dawning, the ship struck the beach. At 11 a. m. a man on horseback made his appearance on shore, waving his hat and promising assistance. At 12:30 r. m. the life-saving service men made their appearance fr m the station some miles away, but came poorly provided to save life. All the assistance they could render to the passengers was to get them out of the surf as they came ash re. Captain Ankers savs that had the life-saving men come to the scene of the wreck during the forenoon nearly every one on board could have been saved. At five o’clock 1*. m. the ship broke np complet ly, throwing into the sea all who were then left on board. It does not appear that any of those on board jumped overboard. They were washed off by the dozen at every sea. Some reached the "shore and many were drowned. The only help from those on shore was in pall ing the half-drownod men from the surf when near the beach. Some were swept overboard by the great sea that wrecked tho vessel and many more before daylight came. Tho night was not very cold, but tho storm was pitiless, and those on board were so exhausted before attempting to make the shore that they wore ill-prepared for rhe terrific fight with the sea. The life service men tired three life-lines over the vessel ; then their ammuuit on gave ont. About fifteen of the survivors f rmed a living line by joining hands, and rescued twenty-six of their coraardes who were battliug for ex istence iu the surf. The beach for two miles was strewn with the bodies of the drowned. Many of the laborers on board had families in Pliiladelphia. and in the office of the contrac tors in that city many pitiful scenes were en acted. Wives of men on board tho wrecked steamer applied for information regarding their husbands and begged "pitionsly for informa tion about the missing ones. Many of these poor women aud children are left in a destitute condition and means will be provided for their | relief. William Wieners was hanged at St. Louis for 1 tho murder of A. V.

The survivors of the wrecked steamer Metro- in Norfolk, Va , and were com fortably provided for by the citizens. Nine of ■ them were suffering from exposure and were t-ken to the hospital. It is as-erted that the wrecked vessel was uuseaworthy and should | not have been allowed to go to sea, although her captain maintains that she was perfectly I seaworthy. An investiga'ion into her con- I ditiou at the time of putting to sea from Phila delphia will be made. William Sturges, of Chicago, a prominent railroad man, has failed for over $1,030,000. J.

The Power of Monosyllables. A Boston paper collects some remark able specimens of oue-sylluble writing by well-known authors. Few passages are liner or more forcible than tho fol lowing selections, this one of Dr. Youngs: “ Tho bell strikes one.

Addr Street, Boston, diseases requiring i Two Old Soldier Brothers Meet. The Stratford, (Ontario) Times tells the following story : Oh Friday last two customers in Horne & Burch’s store created a little sensation. A couple of men whose gait and demeanor, in spite of their shabby clothes, showed that they were old British soldiers, were making some purchases, when all at once they were observed to stare rather hard at each other. At last one ex claimed sotto voce, „“ Brother Mike, by Jove 1” and the party addressed immed iately replied, ‘ By the powers, it is Tim himself !’ Hand-shaking followed, and explanations were in order. It seems that the two men were brothers, and both had been soldiers in tho British army, but in different regiments. They had served in the Crimea, and after the close of the war, some twenty years ago, they had become separated, and each thought the other dead, until, by the merest chance, they met in Stratford as related above. In their travels since they last saw each other they had been in India, Africa, China, the United States, and finally pulled np in Canada, where one was working in the Ellice ditch, and the other was employed on the corporation stone heap. A Fort Wayne (Ind.) couple were di vorced in thirty minutes from the time the petition was filed. Dosing the Wrong Patient. A young English doctor, who had only been in Turkey a few weeks, was kept awake for several hours at Yenikoi by a sentry with a bad congh. He deter mined at last to get up and give 1 he man a draught. The sentry, although some what astonished, drank the mixture which the “ luglis hekim”gav° bbuj. and the next morning the doctor re ceived visit from tho officer of the guard, who somewhat roughly asked him why he had insulted one of his men. The surgeon replied in such bad Turk ish that the officer could not refrain from smiliug. ‘ ‘ You should not at tempt to speak Turkish at present,” he said, “for last night yon asked my man if he had a bolster, and then told him to pitch into himself.” “ But,” observed the doctor, looking very foolish, “ surely the sentry understood I wanted to cure his cough ?” “Cough ! Yes, yes; very good. But then the sentry who had the cough was relieved of duty a few minutes before ; you dosed the wrong man !” From Chas. II. Col Kate. K«q.. Of tbe firm of Colgate & Co., Manufacturers of Flavoring Extracts, 21 Blackstone St., Boston. Somerville, Mass., Dec. 9, 1876. Messrs. Seth W. Fowle & Sons : Genftemen—Last spring my little daughter, aged five, became very much emaciated with lose of appetite, and great prostration of si rengtb, so much so that we were obliged to take her out of school. This continued through the summer and caused us much anxiety. After trying various remedies without deriving any benefit our family physician recommended the use of Peruvian syrup. After using it one week we saw a marked improvement in the child's condition, and in a month she was rapidlv gaining iu health and strength, her app tfte bei"g excellent. At this date she is perfectly well, with round, plump cheeks, and healthy color, and is again attending school regularly. I consider her restoration to health en irely'due to tho Peruvian Syrup, and feel that l" cannot too highly recommend it as a tonic. Very gratefully yours, Chas. H. Colgate.

Since torpidity of tho liver is the chief cause of its disorder, it is evident that what the bil ious require is an alterative stimulaut which will arouse it to activity, an effect that is fol lowed by the disappearance of the various symptoms indicative of its derangement. Hos tetler's Stomach Bitters invariably achieve the primary result mentioned, besides removing the constipation, flatulence, heart-burn, yel lowness of tbe skin aud whites of tho eyes, pain in the right side and under the r ght shoulder, nausea, vertigo and sick headache, to which bilious invalids are peculiarly subject. As a remedy for chronic indigestion, mental despondency", and nervousness, the Bitters are equally efficacious, and as a renovant of lost vigor, a means of arresting premature decay, and a source of relief from the infirmities to which the gentler sex is peculiarly subject, they may bo thoroughly relied upou. “ The Wlliire!* on Trial.” Judge for yourself.
