Kimball, ch of the revenue marine bureau, the officers appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury to ascertain and report at what points on the sea and lake coasts the interests of commerce and humanity require the establishing of life-sav- ing stations, have just returned here from a personal examination of the southern coasts and have selected sites for the establishment o -1,on Cape He: near Dan Neck ‘Mills 4, near Jones’ Hill No.7 ‘0. 8, "Body Island; Chicamacomeo; No. 10, Kinakut. Under the second section of the act of Marct 3d, 1873, the following localities are considtred and recommended by the commission as r quiring stations, viz: On Cape Hatteras, Cape .ookout, and on Smith’s Island, mouth of Cap Fear river. From this point to Cape Canavera} the coast is not dangerous, wrecks seldom oc curring, and very rarely disasters to lite or property. At Cape Canaveral, Jupiter Inlet, and Cape Florida, boat-bonses, with life-boats and suffi cient apparatus, are recommended to be placed in charge of the light-house keepers. The coast of Florida, south of St. Augustine, t crews there on the plan adopted for the northern and eastern coasts. It is also found impracticable to place stations for the protection of the Florida reefs from Cape Florida to the Tortugas. Although wrecks are frequent along these dangerous reefs, the loss of life has never been great. Here, as also upon the coast between Cape Florida and Canavers shoals and thence to Fernandina, stranded ves sels usually drive so light upon the beach that the crews can land withont much danger. The light-houses along the Great Reet should, however, be provided with able self-rightin and selt-bailing life boats. On the gulf © from Key West around to the Rio Grande, life- saving stations are not deemed necessary. The soundings here are so regular and the shoal water extends so evenly and so gradually tor such long distances into the gulf that the sea is never high enough to break up stranded ves se and the crews are never in nent dan ger except during heavy hurricanes, when a ife-Loat or other apparatus would be useless. A station was formerly situatea in Galveston but as far as can be ascertained and during the war both house were destroyed. A life-saving station there is not considered necessary. An able revenue steamer at that port might, in addition to it~ legitimate duties, render important se saving life in case of disaster to any Galveston bar. mong er: passengers by the City of Bro :klyn, in Tibbits,on her last outward bound trip, was one of the survivors of the Atlantic wreck— George Russell, of Edenderry, Kings county. Irelsnd—through whose exertions the only child saved trom that terrible disister—a boy of 8 or S—was put out of the port hole and finally rescued. Quite an interest was aroused among the passengers by the fact of Mr. Russel’s pres ence, and ex-Senator Cattell, our new financial agent, with others on board, instituted inquiries as.to Mr. Russell's pecuniary condition. Find- ing that he had literally nothing but the clothing he wore, and that there was a wife and five children waiting his return, it was proposed to give him substantial aid, and in a few moments i% sterling was raised, which the poor fellow gratefully received.

The necessary papers charging Mrs. Earhart, who is 70 years old, With polsouing the members of “her family, were brought to Dayton last Friday, ‘together with the coffee pot by which they are said to have been poisoned.” The case will be tried in the criminal court, wajch convenes in Dayton to-day. There are seven members of Mrs. Ear- hart’s family who have died mysteriously within the past twenty years, whose remains will be disinterred this week for the purpose of an ex- amination of their stomachs.

The Volksbiatt makes this computation :—* A common labor- ing man drinks eight glasses of beer daily, at a cost of 40 cents, or $2.80 per week. Should the price be lowered to three cents the expense Would be £1.68 per week.” Suppose, now, that the common laboring man drink no beer at all, and save the whole.

Dr. Camp- Vell. ‘The special order, the REPORT OF THE CENTENNIAL COMMITTER as to whether the Presbyterian church of the United States should take part in celebrating the centennial anniversary of American inde- pendence at Philadelphis, was taken up. The report, which was madeen Friday, recommend- ea it expedient and appropriate that the church should take part in the celebration, wi series of revolutions preparatory thereto. Mev.

He regarded it inexpedi that the church as a body should take part in the celebratic Dr. Van Dyke, of Brooklyn, o! lution that while the ered a reso- eral Assembly rejotces to hear of the proposed plan for the celebration of the centenntal anniversary of American independence, and hopes that all our ministers and people, as citizens, will cooperate r- Tying out these plans, at the same time we feel as a court of Jesus Christ, to art in the same. Further e ensued, when Dr, Niccolis moved that the matter be referred to the trastees of the Presbyte: Historical Society, with a request that they make proper arrangements to have our common Presbyterianism represented in the National Assembl AFTER A SPIRITED DERATE of two hours, in which considerable feeling was manifested, Rev.

The centennial committee was continued, and a further committee of five, to be appointed by the moderator, to cooperatdwith the centennial decline taki committee, was authorized.
