When Hunter Blair joined D'Aeth, Travers resumed bowl ing at his old end, and with such effect that the innings was finished in double quick time.

Gordon was unluckily run out, and Rico accounted for D'Aeth and Van Buren in consecutive overs, the innings closing for 59 runs. Kice took 5 wickets for 16 runs, Travers 3 for zz, and Hynes one for 15.

We learn from Pagoda that the schooner Spar- tau went out recently with a view to commenc ing diving operations upon the steamship Odin. Receiving news, however, of the loss of the Ashuelot, the Spartan proceeded to the wreck of the latter vessel. We understand that when the Ashuelot was wrecked she had about $18,000 on board, which was intended for disbursement as wages to her own, and two other U. S. naval vessels' crews.
