Steamboat Disaster. Worcesteb, (Mas.), July 5. At Lake Quinsegnomond this afternoon, the steamer Isaac Davis, loaded with pas sengers, careened, and the hurricane deck broke off. Scores ofpassengers were thrown into the lake. . There were about two hundred passengers on the boat one hundred on the hurricane deck and as they pressed to one side the boat careened over away from the wharf and caused the crowd to rush to that side, and threw the struggling mass into the water. As the boat gave way the roof of the upper deck came crash ing down on the engine, and broke off the safety valve, causing the steam to rush out, the fearful noise adding new terror, xne boat rolled over more, catch ing her gunwale on a spile, and became fast, and her great weight caused the sup ports of the hurricane deck to give away, ana toe uiioie structure xeii down to mo water line. The water at this point is over ten feet deep. Many swam to the wharf 20 feet distant, others held hold of the wrecked hull, and some 1o the float ing roof. Many prominent citizens, Mayor lJratt and wife and many phvsi- cians were at hand for assistance. The bodies were soon recovered. Killing John Caliill and his daughter 2 years old, &ewis Xjecliapelle, JNellie Tnockrow and three others not identified.

Length, 63 feet, 22 feet over guards and about 50 tons burden, built quite flat on the bottom, drawing less than three feet loaded. She had two passenger decks and could carrv 400 persons. The nrmer deck was raised on supports about 10 feet above Uie main deck and came out even with the gunwale. Destroyed by Fire. Thenton, (N. J.), July 4.

C. met last even ing. The committee appointed by the board of ward presidents at its last ses sion to lay the question of the required legality of the salary pledge required from its nominees before the convention, reported that they had been unable to any decision and recommended that , the opinion of the candidates for the super ior judgeships be taken by the conven tion. Kearney said there was something wrong somewhere. In a republican form of government all powers emanates from tbe people. The question is, has this convention thp power to pledge ita dele gates ? I hold that it has, the opinion of the old f essils to the contrary ; and I will go further and assure you that all of its nominees will take their seats. Brownhardt thought that the conven tion should fully investigate and move rv mow v in rriAPt to tho salarv pieige, as soma gentlemen of eminent legal ability, vlinm l,n haA nnnU.al heid it U) V? unlawful. If nominees were TiniUSUy Ueniad their riohta after .1a. tion, let them be placed' fa tljr eats at tne point ot uxa uavonet. - Clltus Barbour gave it as his oninion as a lawyer that there was nothing in the pledge required pi uie nommeaa which, would invalidate their election. Never theless, th speaker did hot think the use of the pledge was the best way in which to secure reform,. J$ would much Mtor in tmu a law in the Lecisiaturs re.- ducincr salaries. The safest course though. to be pursued by the convention was not to risk an election where great principles t ere involved. As the disputed question was one whkh would be decided by hos tile court and mierht tesx-r ret before a jury, it was therefore foolish "to tai gf rebellion when the matter coma easuy fa settled in t far more sensible and peaceable nuuiiicr. : . Here Uie discussion upnu ihp legality ct the salary pledge came to a cfose and the nomination for the office of district attorney was proeeedad vith, : The fol lowing list of candidates was read by th secretary : John L. Murphy, Judge Hubert Ferral and M. C. Hassett. ? Murphy appeared and passed the refin inir "crucible" of the convention, but V -r .- .... .... ... .. ... ... as none of the other aspirants were in th4 hall further action in the matter was left over until to-night. John a. rum. for superior ludge tnce Thornton, declined. ! The question of the legalitv of the pledge of candidates to accept a! reduc tion of salaries was settled py the adop tion of a resolution stating that the pledge means that the candidates will not oppose a reduction of salaries to the amounts named in the several pledges, and that in no sense is the pledge intend ed as a bribe. . ;." : AsaeaamenU. --v San Fiiancisco, July 1.

The Houm of Commons on the Causes of the Depression of Asrlealtoro. Lokdow. July 5. In tbe house of commons last night, the irovernment agreed to a mo tion of Henry Chaplin, conservative, for the appointment of a commission to enquire into tbe causes of agricultural depression and how far they were created by, or are remediable by legialation. The matter caused a great deal of trouble. All sides agreed that a great causa of deDrrssion was American com pet 1 tion. Chaplin in his opening speech said he regarded free trade as a question oenniteiy settled ; but he could not shut his eyes to the failure of many or the predictions 01 aavo- istes of free trade. He did not propose a remedy now. but only asked for inquiry. He pointed out that the future late of British agriculture was dependent upon the cost of production in America. If the cost of importation fell below tbe cost of production at home, tbe ruin of British agriculture was not far distant. Liberals such as Brassey. MacDuff and Duff blamed tbe British land system and game laws for depression. Their arguments were summed up in a speech by Bright, who warned land owners that the competition of the United States would go on increasing and the only way of meeting it was to get rid of stupid and mischievous leg islation regulating the tenure and transfer of land. Al soever and Beotrick advocated pro tective measures : but tbe marquis of Hart ineton and tbe eovernmentas represented by Viscount Sandon, conservative, aod Sir Staf ford Northcote. chancellor of the exchequer. declared that no cause bad been shown for such measures, waich certainly would never be sanxttoned.

Lord Chelmsford informed Sir Birtle Frere that. pending Cetewayo's answer, there will be no military operations. When Cetewayo has given the proof required, a cessation of bos till ties will be ordered, and pending discus sion of final terms of peace.

The following is from a Bedwing spec lalto the Pioneer -Press: In the town of Vasa the fury of the storm was at its height, making fearful havoc. It seemed to start from about four miles from the Vasa church and traveled in a southwest erly diriction. The orphanage which is nnder the care of the church was com pletely demolished.

The square roof was blown from the par sonage, a utue in ra rear oi tne cuurcn, and set down in the field where it flatten ed like a fan. The barn of August Pet erson was blown down and his house badly injured; also, of course the houses of all who have been mentioned as killed were blown down and many houses were injured.

At Warrentown, on the Lake hhore, three houses were torn down and a man and his wife and daughter killed in one of them. At Maiden Bock two frame houses were de molished and the top of the warehouse ta ken off, but no lives were lost. The storm crossed from this side to Trenton, where it unroofed Mr. Hammelgren's houses, barn and granary, and broke down the large trees in his timber, smashing near ly every tree. The roof oi Andrew nel sqri's barn was blown away and com pletely smashed to pieces, and the barn of John Taggart, another neighbor, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. These houses are all in the southeastern part of the town. The damage to the crops is considerable, but not so bad as if the season were later. FACEFIC COAST. , ' A County OOeer murdered.

The Indian reported to have been wound ed last evening turns out to be Jim, son of old Kitsap, the celebrated Yakima chief, who was the prime cause of the war of '55-6, and was subsequently kill ed. Kitsap county in this territory is named after him. It appears that he was not shot by Bussian Charley as first stated, but by constable Mills, who ex changed fire with the Indians on Satur day evening, shooting Jim through the arm and side. The Indian belongs to the same party who robbed a man last year on Snoqualmie road, of blankets and money. They are evidently making for xakima. FOREIGN. F.oa-Iaud's Representative. Simla, July 6.

Batter Per O A C R U r ? 1 kg, Some years ago, says the Hartford Post, one of our citizens bought and set out some thrifty young apple trees. Ua one of them he neglected to remove the wooden label which was attached to one of the limbs by a copper wire. Two years later he found that the copper wire was entirely embedded and out of sight in the bark of the tree, and that year the limb was so heavilv loaded with apples that he was obliged to prop it up. while there was not a blossom or apple on any other limb. .Last year one of our neighbors. when his young apple trees were in full blossom, carefully girdled some limbs on several trees, and the blossoms pro duced no fruit on the limbs thus treated. but this year those limbs have blossomed full and no blossoms on the limbs that bore last year. Pomologista may profit by further experiments in that direction. Frtjit Saves Doctors' Bills. An ex perienced doctor in the "West says his bills are cut down in families in propor tion as they eat fresh fruit. Strawber ries, currants and tomatoes are better medicine than calomel ,t : jalap, and rather better to take. ' Apples freely eaten do the work of vermifuge or lozen ges. Every fruit or berry has a mission to man hid away within it. Therefore, set out a Btrawberry bed, if yon haven't one. If there is no oflier place, border your garden walks, ana with a sharp hoe and straight line keep the edges cut clearly, leaving a rich mat of vines two feet wide. Plant currants. A fresh cut ting will grow if yon bat stick it in the ground. Border the fence with rasp berries.

The Philadel phia Wall-street Theater is the oldest theater in the United States. The owner isJ. S. Clarke, the actor, who lives in London most of the time. Clarke bought -.he Broad-street Theater, in Philadelphia, t few years ago, and played there on his last visit to this country, instead of going to the Walnut, as usual. Manager Good win, tbe lessee of the Walnut, retaliated y hiring tbe Park Theater and transfer ring bis best engagements to that bouse, leaving only second-rate stars to tbe Wal nut The latest blow at tbe Walnut was be production of an absurd drama from he pen of a Philadelphia court inter preter. Nearly all the lawyers of the city made the occasion one of great hilarity, jibing the author, commenting loudly on the play, and hectoring the unfortunate performers.--i". Y. Sun.
