A BOSTON ICE SHIP AT MADRAS.
The American barque Pincataqua, ln*m
Boston, has arrived at Madras. She will al
ready have attracted the notice of all whom
business or pleasure have drawn to the beach,
where she presents the curious appearance »>t
a vessel on her beam ends and about to sink.
She left Boston nearly five months ago in
good trim, and filled with ice for Madras.
By some strange chance it has nearly all
melted away on one side of her hold, shitting
the centre of gravity till she floats as she is
now to be seen. The length of her voyage i*
to be accounted for by the difficulty of sailing
her in her present trim. The supply of ice
is well-timed. The stock at the ice-house
had got so low that the greatest economy
could not make it last, at the present rate of
demand, for more than ten days or a fort
night.—Madras Examiner, April ‘21.
SLEEPING ON SUNDAY.
A minister of‘kirk’ in good old Scotland,
once discovered his wife fallen asleep in tin*
midst of his homily on the Sabbath. So paus
ing in the steady, and possibly monotonous,
flow of his oratory, he broke forth with this
personal address, sharp and clear, but very
deliberate:
“Susan!’*
Susan opened her eyes and ears in a twink
ling, as did all other dreamers in the house,
whether asleep or awake.
“Susan, 1 dinna marry you lor your weann
sin've had' none! And I dinna marry ye for
your beauty: that the hail congregation can
see. And if ye hae no grace, I have made a
sair bargain!"
Susan's slumbers were effectually broken
up for that day^^^^^^^
An important discovery has lately been
made by the chemists, and is nothing less
than the leaves of coffee are better than the
berries. The essential principles of tea and
coffee are the same, although chemists still
call that from tea theine, and that from cof
fee caffem. This discovery will probably
affect the commerce of Brazil, which now ex
ports such enormous masses ot the coflee ber
ry. When it is generally known that the
leaves of the coflee tree are as valuable as the
berries, the price of coffee may be lower.
To the disgrace of the canine race, a drun
ken dog made his appearance in Milwaukie.
The Democrat says “he acted pretty much as
other folks do when in a similar state. lie
made very good rail-fence for a few minutes
and then went and laid down by the side of a
wood pile." _
The gnats of Arkansas seem to be as bad
ms the fabulous mosquitoes of that State.—
The Young American states that not less
than one hundred horses have been killed in
Union County, in the vicinity of the river,
by the gnats* within the past two or three
weeks. _
