An Old and Well-known Gnlde and Hun* ter Drowned In sight ofhis Son. From the Boonville Herald we gather the particulars of the drowning of C. Sanford Sperry, proprietor of the Forge House, an excellent guide, a skilled hunter, and a man generally known to tourists through the North Woods. • Sperry, Jack Sheppard, Samuel Dunakin and Daniel Sears were en gaged in running deer. Mr. Sperry, with Ins mu, aged ten years, were watching Lime Kiln Lake, John Brown’s tract, while the rest of the . . party watched the Fulton chain of| ,ia y in .S lakes. This. was on Saturday last. Mr. Sperry had been quite successful, having shot one deer, recovered it, hung it to a tree and dressed it. A second one was shot, and Sperry put out in a boat after it, leaving his coat and, gun in charge of his son Willie. He secured the second deer, tied it to the boat and was towing it to shore, New’ York, lltorertiber’SO.—The London Times of the 8th has the fol lowing account of a hurricane in Sicily, which destroyed the, town of Pnlazzo- There has been no instance of such a calamity wiibm thd ’ *’■ MEMORY OF tlVtltO MAX.

Along the northeast side of the town : :i*. .u*i I *' NOT A SISOLE HOUSE REMAINS, in which the whole roof and windows do riwt require thorough, repairs. The streets are .a,mass of ,fragments and rubbish. The incidents of the dis aster-are so strnngfe'hs to be almost .jn? credible. There : Was a storq with twenty-five hectolitres of wheat of which NOT A TRACE is anywhere to be seen. The books of the Lxcise and of the Sand Registry offices have vanished, and only the ; r torn leaves have been found here and there at great distances. In one house all the copper kitchen utensils were blown through the roof. In another, benches and heavy chests flew through the window. The iron bars of one balcony are to be seen curled up one way, those of another twisted up an other way. There is the pillar of a palace which has been moved forward one foot without breaking, and stands isolated, all in one piece. There is the wall of another ]>alacc which has fallen back more than three feet without a crack. There is a beam of one house which has thrust itself into another house.

I stood some distance from the pool, and the pressure of people was so great that I got divided from the Blots travellers, and did nob sec the deaf and dumb orphan immersed, butsoinnton minutto after the above dialogue had been ex changed in nay hearing a loud shout of joy nrose in tho crowded mass of be holders, and it was followed by a “ Vive la Notre Dame de Lourdes J” that ran like wildfire through every car and mouth present, to be echoed by the mountains around. I used all my strength to reach the pool and stood by the girl from Blois, whose deaf and dumb charge was no longer by her side. She was as pale as death. “ Where is your friend ?” I asked. “ They have carried her in the grotto to the bishop.” “ Why “ She is cured 1” A prelate then made his way up to our knot of eager questioners. “ My child, tell me what you have seen,” he asked kindly. “ Monseigneur,” replied the poor girl, governing her emotion, “ we came from Blois yesterday to ask Notre Dame de Lourds to cure my friend, and when we got to the pool I helped her put her hand under as much water os I could pour over it, aud made her drink a glass. She seemed to hear all at once. A good gentleman, who noticed she look ed confused at some noise, understood she was getting souuds in her ears, and, taking hold of her said she was to say after him the words he said ; Vive Norte Dame de Ijourdes V and my friend repeated, ‘ Vive Notre Deane ds Lourds f when presently all the people standing round us shouted out same words, and niv friend was fright ened, but the gentleman carried her in his arms away from me to the rail ings of the grotto, which the priests inside opened, and she is inside now.” “Iti*a miracle,” said the prelate.

One of them said shecould not understand the sense of what was spoken to her; but she could bring out the words told her; da parrot would.

Talking will be acquired by habit. I will ref raid from mentioning anything I did not see. Other miracles were reported by eye-witness that day at the pool; I will not mention them.
