Perils of the Lakes-
1,,,troshiptaassiaat Men Afloat Shirty -six
Hours an c& Raft—Pory of one of thent
.--Thal Rest of the crefo Lost.
Thomas Grady, second tuhte, and
Thomas B. Foley, seaman, the only
iurvivors of the schooner Corsair,'
wrecked on Lake Huron Sunday
morning, reached here this morning.
°Thomas Grady relates the particu-
Jars of this heartrendirg calamity
,substantially as follows : The
Corsair sailed from Marquette with
.515 tons of railroad iron, 525 tons
in the hold, and the remaiader on
(decks consigned to parties in Eriel,
-Penn. Encountering heavy wea-
ther and tremendous seas,. the wind
piping a gale from the north-west,
she -was put on her course for Tawas
Bay. About 120- miles off Port
Hiu-on. the Corsair commenced leak-
ing badly, and hove to in her course.
Two men were ,at the pumps, and
the rest cjJ the clew were setsat work
.0. --sting the deck -load over. The
water in the hold gained on them,
and it soon became evident that the
se,hooner must go down. Captain
Snow had gone into the cabin after
his papers about three minutes be-
fore she went down, and Foley fol-
lowed him and told him shewas
sinking. Captain Snow ordered
him to get out the boat. He (Foley)
left the Calm and never saw the
Captain again. He cut one of the
davit falls, and as the bow of the
boat swung into the water, the
Waves dashed it against the vessel's
stern, and stove it so it was aPpar-
.ently useless. Immediately the
Corsair plunged down, bow first,
burstbag out her decks. At this
this time they were , off Sturgeon
_Point, and could see the lights. The
crew were all on deck -except the
,Captain and Mrs. Kelso, the cook.
-Grady was carried down - with ,the
deck, and when he came to the sur-
face he grasped a bit of board, and
after floating on that a few minutes,
got hold of the wrecked boat, No
sound of human voice was heard
when the Corsair went down, and
Grady saw no one till after he
,elimbed upon the boat, when he es-
pied Foley in the water, who floated
towards him and whom he hauled
into the boat. The sea. broke ever

The origin of Petroleum.
The recent development of the
reproductive power of the petroleum,
wells that had been for some years
abandoned because thev were be-
lieved to he exhausted (says the
Petroleum Monthly) is not alone a
matter of value to the owners of- the
territory that was until lately 'pie-
_
sunied to be incapable of further pro-
duction, but it affordsa more trust-
vorthy- basis than any the world has
hitherto been able to obtain for
forming an approximately correct
opinion concerning the chemical Imo -
cess whereby petroleum is generat-
ed. -Until within a short time, a
popular opinion prevailed that ',pe-
troletini, in spite of its name, was
the product of boal ; 0..nd so nearly
was this idea general 1 among a ma-
jority of people, that many foreign
receA-ers of petroleum are still ac-
customed to order ib. as coal oil.'
The belief, however, that the ter-
reuce oil of Pennsylvania and Cana-
da is .exclusively a product of bitu-
minous coal may; now safely be pro-
nounced to be an error. There is
certainly nos.evidence that coal is
not one of the substances from which
petrolum is distilled; but at the
same time it is a somewhat *strange
fact, allowing a proper degree of
credit to the belief that coal does
not enter into the composition of
petroleum, that no coal -beds sus-
ceptible of being worked are known
to exist within fifty miles of the oil-
producing territory. Again, it is a
manifest and lecognized- fact that
carbon does predominate as an in-
tegral essence of petroleum ; and the
other fact that the oil -territory of
Pennsylvania is surrounded by beds
of bituminous coal, renders it emi-
nently reasonable to believe that
coal enters lara6ely,—if not, indeed,
more largely than any other sub-
stance --into the process of distilla-
tion whereby petroleum is produced.

were in great peril of being swamp- But whatever may be the number
ed. Finally- they abandoned the
boat and got upon a floating
piece of the quarter deck, to
which they lashed thetnselves by
pieces of rope—beckets—uaed to
hold the wheel. They were tossed
about on this frail refuge for some
time, and until it capsized, carrying
them under. Their wrists -were from the minerals found in connec-
lashed to the deck with becket ropes, tion with it production, the greatest

strangled. They finally slipped the is singular' that, in boring for ,oil,
no coal has ever been. found, even in
the smallest quantities, while sand,
sandstone and - limestone abound.
The inference, therefore, -cannot be
escaped that petroleum • i& the pro-

three, distinct mineral properties.

from which it is formed, the distilla-
tion of it is more intimately associ-
ated with limestone than any other
mineral. Sandstone is also, found
in boring oil wells, but it is from the
pores of. limestone that, in the
chemical Frocess of extracting oil
ropes, and got upon the outside of
the deck,' upon which the water
stood nearly knee deep. They took
off their scarfs, and fastening the
.ends into bolts, held on to them for
life. •
the vessel went Idown. at 4:10
Sunday morning. and Grady and
Foley were tossed about and buffet-
ed by the waves till after noon on
Monday before seeing any signs of
Iife or any hope of rescue, A t that
time they saw a propeller in the dis-
ista.nce, and with - acme improvised
paddles tried to work themselves
•into her course, but they were not
,successful, and for a time all hope
-seemed lost, as the propeller re-
mained ion her course, not seeming
to notice them. Finally she bore
-down for them, and was found to be
the City of Boston, Captain Brown.
When the propeller reached them
Foley was completely exhausted,
and was hauled aboard with a heav-
ing -line thrown from the steamer
and fastened around his body by
Grady, who was then helped aboard.
It appears that the City of Bos-
ton at first took them for fishermen,
but bore down for them as soon as
she found their true condition. They
were. treated with great kindness 011
board the propeller, and were taken
into Cleveland, where they called
on Captain SIZIOW'3 brother, who
ga've them tickets and sent them on
to Oswego. Grady and Foley were
rescued at 4t p. m., Monday, hav,
ing been afloat thirty-six hours.
They say the Corsair went.down in
about thirty fathoms, and after
reaching the City of Boston they
saw floating pieces of the wreck.

The Spider's Bridge:
On one chilly day I was left. at
home alone, and after I was tired of
reading Robinson Crusoe, I caught
a spider and brought him into the
house to play with. Funny kind of
play -mate, wasn't it ? Well, I took
a wash -basin 'and fastened up a
stick in it like a liberty -pole or a
vessel's mast, and then poured in
water enough to ttun the mast into
an island for my spider, whom I
named Crusoe, and put on the Mast.
As soon as he -was :fairly cast away,
he anxiouly commenced running
round to find the road to the main-
land. He'd scamper down the mast
to the water, stick out a foot, get it
w -q, shake it, run, round the stick
ant51 try the other side, and then run
back ,tis to the top again. Pretty
soon it became a serious matter
•with Mr. Robinson, and he sat down
to think it over. As ina moment
le acted as if he wanted to shou.t for
a boat, and was afraid he was going
to be hungry, I put a little molasses
on the stick. A fly .came, but
Crusoe wasu.'t hungry for flies just
then. He was homesick for' [his
web in -the corner of the wood -shed.
He went slowly down the pole to,
the water and toile -lied it all round,
shaking his feet like pussy when she
wets her stockings in the grass, and
six miles from St. Catharines, Ont., suddenly a thought appeared to
for which place they are anxious to strike him. Up he went lie a
leave at once."—From the Oswego rocket to the top and commenced
_Press, Oct. 3. - playing circuq. ¥e heldone foot
in the air, then anothei, and turned
round two or three times. He got
. excited and nearly stood on his
head, before I found out what he
knew, and that was this, that the
draught of air made by the fire
would nctury a line ashore on which
he could escape from his desert
'island. He pushed out a web tat
went floating in. the air, until it
caught on the t able. Then he haul-
ed on the rope until it was tight,
struck it several times to see if it
was strong enough to hold him, and
walked ashore. I thought he .had
earned his liberty,: so I put him back'
in his wood -shed again.—ffean-th,

Computing Interest.
Here is a new m
rule for copat-
big interest. It is so simple and so
true that every banker,- merchant,
or clerk should post it for reference.
By no arithmetical process can. the
desired information be obtained in
so few figures:
Six per _ cent.----MultipIy any
given number of dollars by the
number of days of interest desired, -
separate theayight hand figures and
divide by six; thelresult is the true
interest on such number of days at
six per cent.
Eight per cent.--Multibly any
given amount by the number of days
