The Steamer Asia Uoes Down in Georgian May-- -Only Two Persons Live to Tell the Story. COLLINOWOOI), Ont., Sept. 17.—Tho steamer Asia of tho Great Northern Transit Company's line, which loft hero Wednesday evening for French ltiver and Kault Ste. Mario, has been wrecked. Captain Mc- Gregor reached Parry sound yesterday by u tug from Owen Sound and reported passing tho wreckage of a steamer olf Limestone Island. Ho picked up a trunk, door, and pillow-slip marked steamer Asia. This inoruing an Indian boat reached Parry Sound from Point Au llarre, 35 milos distant, bringing T. A. Tinkis of Manitowaningand Miss Cliristiann Morrison from near Owen Sound, supposed to bo tho only survivors of tho steamer. Mr. Tinkis says: " I went aboard tho Asia at Owen Sound at midnight Wednesday in company with my uuelo J. 11. Tinkis and 11. B. Gallagher of Manitowaning. Tho steamer was crowded, all tho state rooms being full, and many passengers lying on the sot'as and cabin floor. All went woil until eight o'clock Thursday morning, when a storm struck us. 1 was in my berth at the timo. My uncle jumped up and said tho boat was doomed. Dishes and chairs wero flying in ever}' direction. Wo loft tho cabin and found difficulty in gotting on deck, tho boat was rolling so hoavily. I put on a life proserver. The boat went into tho trough of the sea and would not obey the helm. She rolled hoavily for twenty minutes, when she was struck by a lioavy sea and foundered, going down with tlio engines working. The Asia was making for French River, and had men, horses, and lumbermen's supplies for shanties. 1 saw three boats loaded. I was in the first. About eight were with mo at first. More got in until tlio boat was overloaded and turned over twice. Parties were hanging on to my life preserver, which got displaced, and 1 threw it off. I then loft the boat and swam to the captain's boat, which was near by, and asked John McDougall, the purser, to help me iu. Ho said it was little use, but gave mo his hand. When I got in there were 18 in tho boat, and n still larger number got in. Some clung to tho boat 1 had loft. I know nothing of this boat. Our boat rolled over, and I remember missing McDougall a few minutes after. People wore hanging to spars und other parts of tho wreckage. Our boat was full of water, and the sea was constantly breaking over us. The cabin boy was dying and being supported by ono of the men, when a wave washed him overboard. Tlio next to go was a boat hand who jumped out. Five of our number died beforo reaching tho beach. Capt. Savage was tho last to die, about midnight Thursday. John Little of Sault Sto. Marie, mate McDonald, and two others, unknown, were among tho victims. Tho boat was finally stranded near Point Au Barre übout daylight Friday, with Miss Morrison and myself only surviving. I put the bodios out on the beach." Tho steamer Northern Belle has left Parry Sound for the bodies. There were probably 100 persons on board the Asia. Telegraphic communication with Parry Sound is interrupted und this intelligence rcachs here by tug. [Tho luland Lloyds Vessol Register shows that tho propeller Asia was built by M. Simpson iu tho Wcllaudcanal in July, 1873, was of .350 tons burthen, rated A 2, and valued at $23,000. Sho was owned by tho Northwestern Transportation Co., and sailed from St. Catharines.] Collingwood, Out., Sept. 18—Following are the names of the passengers booked hero and supposed to bo lost by tho wreck of the steamer Asia:—William Christie, newly married, and wife, of Collingwood; Wm. Clinton, B. Morey, W. H. Wood and wife, Cincinnati; A. Browse, Sir. Shipp, Duncan and son of Hamilton; J. Martin, Collingwood; Mr. Korr and family, of Ltmohouse, Ont.; W. B. Gallagher and J. H. Tinkis, of Manitouwnning; Mr. McNabb, and Mrs. Hanbury, Owen Sound; Mrs. Sprault, of Cookstown. Tho names of many of the passengers having through tickets will bo difficult to ascertain, tho steamer's books being lost. The names of twenty-seven or thirty lumber shanty-inon are unknown. Toronto, Sept. 18.—Tho Government Inspector states that the steamer Asia was running without a license having been refused ono on account of earn ing an insufficient number uf life beats and life preservers. Twin Comets. Prof. E. E. Barnard, of Nashville, Tenn. on tho 14th iust. discovered a new A met located near the star I.amb<ln, In the constellation of the Twins. His discovery was announced by telegraph to Mr. 11. 11. Warner, at the Warner Observatory, Rochester, N. Y., and almost at tho same moment 1 'rof. Lewis Swift, Director of the Warner Observatory, received intelligence that a large linked eye comet had boon discovered in Itio Janeiro, South America. l"rof. Barnard is the first person tho present year to receivo tho Warner prize of #200. The fact that these two comets came into view at thesaiuo timo is exceedingly significant. A Large Yield. [ Lisbon (Dak ) lie publican.) We are prepared to exhibit vouchers for | tho truth and accuracy of tho following statement: Just across the riv.-r, on the same section with our towu, ten acres of oats have just boon harvested and threshed I with following result: From 2i> bushels of seed sown in April last I*lo bushels of oats were threshed, according to machine meas! ure. The actual weight of 45 bushels on a | Fairbanks s. :dcs was Hi bushels and 2 t»>s. Allowing 33 H>s to the bushel, the 900 bushels, j machine measure gives 1,100 bushels, or ( about 120 bushels to tho ucre. ROSS—KAY. "Blood for Supper." Fight in a Magistrate's Office at Niagara. SMUGGLING, JUGGLING, & BLOOD-SPILLING. (From % Special correspondent.] On Saturday afternoon Inst, quito an excitement was caused lu and around tlio court liouso at Niagara by a pugilistic encounter between two well-known ladies— one of Niagara, Ont., the other of Youngstown, N.Y. It appeal's that Mrs. Wm. Kay, of Youngstown, had u dress made at the house of Mrs. Ross, wife of tho worthy harbor of Niagara, and after tlie dross was finished Mrs. Kay accused tho seamstress of spoiling tho dross, and also of stealing some of tho material, trimmings, &c.. The ac! cusation led to angry words, and 1 hear that I come very naughty language was used on j that occasion, the upshot of which was that Mrs. Kay took out a warrant for Mrs. ltoss for abusivo language, and also gave information to tho Collector of Customs an to a quantity of smuggled goods being on tho premises of Mrs. Ross. The goods were found tlioro as represented, and Mr. ltoss was compelled to pay their full value, &>0 or have thorn confiscated. W hat shows a mean, underhand spirit oil tho part of Mrs. Kay is that tho goods, or a part of them, I were smuggled by hor and delivered to Mrs. Ross, for which she was paid. A short time boforo the trial for abusivo language, Mrs Kay entered the magistrate's oil 100, closcly followed by Mrs. ltoss with a largo stone iu hor hand, with which she struck Mrs. Kay in tho faco, inflicting a very ugly cut, and forthwith procoeded to pummel her iu tho highest stylo of tho prize-ring art, in which she succeeded admirably, while tlio shouts of "Murder! murder I Help! help!" &c., cloft tho air uutil it arose from the dome of tho court house uiul attracted tho attention of tho town people, who rushed to tho sceno of conflict, and but for tho interference of magistrate Kir by and others she would undoubtedly liavo mopped tho oflico floor with her. As it was, Mrs. Kay had to bo tnken to a doctor's shop for repairs. Tho sympathy of our people is almost entirely with Sirs, ltoss, though she was wrong in committing tho assault, and particularly in using tho stone; but still tew people will stand calmly by and bo accused of dishonesty, and as far as I can learu the ltoss family have always been considered honest and upright in their dealings. Tho sympathy of Youngstown people seems also to be on tho ' sido of Mrs. ltoss, as 1 hear that several parties (young ladies, too,) have expressed a willingness to pay tho flue. On the charge of abusivo language Sirs. Ross was lined $5.25. Mrs. Ross was brought up on Tuesday charged with assault, &c., but tho trial was postponed till Friday. Youth, &c., Limbo. RANSOM VILLE.

Some attraction, Ed, or your visits would not be so frequent. Mr. John Powley fell from a plum tree on Monday last and sustained severe injuries.

Messrs. Kyto nnd McCormick have secured the services of David Barber, the veteran ! thresher. Uncle David claims to bo 96 years : of uge and lias made threshing with steam j power his vocation since ho was 10 years old. Mrs. Fred Fisher, who became notorious | by leaving her husband and of which the , readers of the Nuwa have been previously J informed, roturned after an absence of ten | weeks and has placed her husband under | bonds for her support. Lost Thursday on complaint of Robert | Johnson warrants were issued for the arrest of George and Frank Alcßune, aged 14 and I 1R years, charged with various offenses in i continually annoying tho ]>eople in the 10-1 1 cality in which they resided. Tho warrants 1 wore placet! in the liamls of Constable Bam! uol McCrackcn who made tho arrests, nnd when near the <.flice of the J. P., the younger boy made an attempt to escapo, and in trying to recapture him, tho constable fell in a culvert or cattle guard on tho railroad and was taken therefrom unconscious and car; ried to tho house of John McClelland. lfr.

" Up mit dot rod and white flag!'' Our old friend and comrado, Charley Ilaudloy, is iu command of a company at tho camp hero. llis company hails from l'eiiotttiiguishono, ami is said to be tho best company in camp. Charley looks well, and till the boys are glud to see him. Niagara camp forms next Monday. A fitting prayer for our volunteer officers just now would be—" Good Luard, be merciful unto us."—Wetland Tribunt. Tho prayer is more appropriate coming as it does from the citizens who suffer from the depredations of foraging parties. On tlio arrival of the steamer " City of Toronto" last Sunday evening from Toronto several persons had the misfortune to drop into that man-trap at the station, and one young man sustained such injuries from the full that ho hud to be carried on the cars. If that trap is not covered up the C.S.R. Co. may have some lawsuits on their hands in the near future. Tho military camp was formed hero on Monday last, und c mists of about 2,500 men of ull branches of the service. On the niglit of their arrival many of t hem acted more like blackguards und ruffiuus than liku soldiers, singing, swearing, and shouting through the streets as tlio' possessed by his Satanic Majesty, and several free lights ou Main street were witnessed by our peaceloving citizens, anil shows the necessity for a special police force during the camp, us suggested by tho News soma timo since. One of our most respected citizens, Mr. A. Lockwood, while talking to a frien 1 on tho street, was brutally struck iu tho face and had his nose broken by u member of tho Fort Erie company, 41th Battullion. Mr. Lockwood lay stunned for a mom ut, but ou recovering himself, wo ore glud to say, ho gave the scoundrel a good sound drubbing. Perhaps a few days liurd work ou the parade ground will sober tho boys down a little. We hope so, or we may be culled upon to chronicle something more serious than u free fight boforo the camp is broken up. Mujor-Goneral Luard would flnd this a good place for the enforcement of his ideas of discipline, for a more disorderly lot for tho first night never encamped ut Niagara. If any proof was required of tho seaworthiness and staunchness of tho good steamer " City of Toronto," it was fully and sutisfuctorily proved oil Monday, tho lltli iust. This well known and most comfortable boat left Niaguitt ut her usual hour, viz: 10 a.m. At this timo thoro was u very high sea running, -the wind being from tho northeast, und blowing almost a gale. She arrived at hor wharf in Toronto in good time, tho gale rapidly increasing till it became almost a hurricane. Tho sea was, ut the hour for her leaving Toronto, mountains high. A consultation between tho captain and engineer (who, by tho bye, is ono of, if not the best on tho luko — wo have reference V 1 Goorgo Munro) knowing their bout to be us staunch as any craft uf'.oat, resulted in a determination to put to sea, although tho officers of the steamer CUicora came to tho conclusion and did forego their ovoniug trip, quietly remaining at the dock, not daring to venture out, and the good, sound "City," after plunging through tho mighty billows, arrived at Niagara all well, not having sustained tho slightest mishup - in fact looking ail the better for her .ough encounter with i angry Ontario. Hurrah! for tho "City of Toronto." The dog nuisance is still a thorn in tho sides of many of our citizens, and something must bo done to abate it. Dogs are a ensued nuisance in more ways than one. A case in point in this towu will iilustrute how tho practice of keeping a pet dog to kiss will break up the best of friendships. Ono of our la do-dah young moil was iu love with one of our fair damsels, and it w as believed by all that lie would soon load her -and her dog —to tho altar—for sho kept a dog. He was not very much mashed ou the dog, und it hurt him to soo her caross the brute, but ho thought when tlioy wero once married he would take tho dog by her hind leg and knock her brains out against olio of the new lamp-posts. Her dog was a the dog, and that fact annoyed the lover more than would have been tho case otherwise. But tho ! young man enjoyed himself with his girl J of an evening after tho dog had gone to | sleep and had been put in its little crib. He | would sit in the parlor with tho object of his adoration, and talk of their bright prospects for tho future, and ufterawbilo he would get I nervous and go homo. There seemed to bo | something bitiug him, and every timo his i girl would loan against liim he felt a yearn iug to scrutch himself u vaguo longing to get up and go away. Ho went to a doctor and was examined, and tho doctor charged him a dollar for the information thut his body was inhabited by fleas. lie could not believe it until he wont to his room and got | his little brother to help him catch about I two dozen full-grown fleas. Their his soul i was up in arms. There was a certain plea- I sure in the thought that he hail caught tbj ' Ccas from the one ho loved, but • hen ho refleetedrefleeted that sho hail caught them from her dog. mill that her ilog had caught them from another dog, and so ou, ho was Kick. 1 hat evening ho called ou liis girl, and as she rushed to his presence, and wo» going to throw herself, dog and all, into his arms, ho jumped back with a frightened look and a cry as though the house wastumbling down, atul said, " Stand hack! 'lher© is that about you that craw Is, uud hops, and hitea. \ou have got fleas!" "Sir," said slio, her oyea flashing lire, 41 this insolence shall cost you dear. 1 have no fleas. Why dost thou accuse me of fleas ?' and the tears cauie to her eyes, hut she wijKxl tliein away with the do* anil controlled her emotion. 44 For mouths, said ho, 441 havo had something about mo each timo 1 went from your side that has made me }>uy attention, and 1 havo found it is fleas. You hold that dog, and the lleua leave it to meander about your system, pionicing on you by day and going for me at night, and mv life is » burden. Unless you swear oIT on (cooping a dog, and rid yourself of fleas, all bet ween ns must be at an end. It must be no (log and no fleas, or no »«•. Which shall it be I" Blie thought the mutter over n few moments when a bright thought struck her, and she offered to compromise by using insect powder. His heart seemed turned to stone. ns<l he told her he could not possibly compromise, and leaving the house lie gave her two days to decide. The following Sunday night be raw her in St. Mark's church with another fellow, and the other follow «ll constantly feeling up his sleeves or down Ids neck for something, and ho has come to the conclusion that she intends to keep the dog. Thus two hearts will he broken —and all through an unlicensed, untagged, floa ilistrihul ing snurler of the canine species. If this is not enough to make our City Fathers pass a dog by-luw, what is!

Luko would not have spurod tho timo only for his son Duke. Come again, Luko, and stay longer. Chan. lvenuody, nil old Do Veaux graduate, was in town to day on business in tho interest of a prominent shipping merchant of llulfalo. Hid Do Vcuux hua mauy blight young men, not unlike hiui. Marshall Fules of Cayuga Island desires his friends to know that ho in himself again, and his latch string dangles at all times; green corn clam chowder a sjmeulity for all his friends who may visit his hospitable mansion. • Master Howard Pearson has bucklod on tho harness and is dotenninod to keep even pace with tho cadets in his fbrm at tho l>o Veaux. Tho new guardhouse administers to the cadet that discipline which is one of the essentials to make a dutiful soldier—and man. Tho l'rosldjnt (?) of our village intends to go to Utica, and now that the imminent danger of Niagara Hivor's drying up Is passed, it is proposed during his temporary absence, to use some of tho wasting water to abate a public nuisance in the streets of our village. More anon. Tho hist hop of tho season at tho Mont Eagle Saturday evening was a glorious affair. There were many ladies anil gentlemen present from Hamilton, Toronto, St. Catlm lines, Clifton, Niagara Falls, Ixickport, ltuffulo and I-a Salle who enjoyed tho festivities, and after the spread. Sabbath day approaching and ueur ut hand, udmonixhed all to rest for a season. •Tis suld that the rain falls alike on the just and the unjust. Tho luttor have boon made t.> rejoice this morning by a copious showvr of rain, tho just having hail their share during the pant week. There is an air of freshness prevailing on our streets, and the sanitary condition of them makes us wear a more cheerful aspect. All good people, witli us, rejoice with one accord. President Monroe of the Do Venux College renders mutiy kind thanks to the Suspension Bridge and Clifton Fire Departments for their valuable assistance and services on the occasion of the recent lire on tlie college grounds. Chief Baekett, our chief, ami the noble Mayor, with his chief, Wm. Flaherty, convinced tho many who wore present that the right mou were placed in .the light places.

COLLINOWOOI), Ont., Sept. 17.—Tho steamer Asia of tho Great Northern Transit Company's line, which loft hero Wednesday evening for French ltiver and Kault Ste. Mario, has been wrecked. Captain Mc- Gregor reached Parry sound yesterday by u tug from Owen Sound and reported passing tho wreckage of a steamer olf Limestone Island. Ho picked up a trunk, door, and pillow-slip marked steamer Asia. This inoruing an Indian boat reached Parry Sound from Point Au llarre, 35 milos distant, bringing T. A. Tinkis of Manitowaningand Miss Cliristiann Morrison from near Owen Sound, supposed to bo tho only survivors of tho steamer. Mr. Tinkis says: " I went aboard tho Asia at Owen Sound at midnight Wednesday in company with my uuelo J. 11. Tinkis and 11. B. Gallagher of Manitowaning. Tho steamer was crowded, all tho state rooms being full, and many passengers lying on the sot'as and cabin floor. All went woil until eight o'clock Thursday morning, when a storm struck us. 1 was in my berth at the timo. My uncle jumped up and said tho boat was doomed. Dishes and chairs wero flying in ever}' direction. Wo loft tho cabin and found difficulty in gotting on deck, tho boat was rolling so hoavily. I put on a life proserver. The boat went into tho trough of the sea and would not obey the helm. She rolled hoavily for twenty minutes, when she was struck by a lioavy sea and foundered, going down with tlio engines working. The Asia was making for French River, and had men, horses, and lumbermen's supplies for shanties. 1 saw three boats loaded. I was in the first. About eight were with mo at first. More got in until tlio boat was overloaded and turned over twice. Parties were hanging on to my life preserver, which got displaced, and 1 threw it off. I then loft the boat and swam to the captain's boat, which was near by, and asked John McDougall, the purser, to help me iu. Ho said it was little use, but gave mo his hand. When I got in there were 18 in tho boat, and n still larger number got in. Some clung to tho boat 1 had loft. I know nothing of this boat. Our boat rolled over, and I remember missing McDougall a few minutes after. People wore hanging to spars und other parts of tho wreckage. Our boat was full of water, and the sea was constantly breaking over us. The cabin boy was dying and being supported by ono of the men, when a wave washed him overboard. Tlio next to go was a boat hand who jumped out. Five of our number died beforo reaching tho beach. Capt. Savage was tho last to die, about midnight Thursday. John Little of Sault Sto. Marie, mate McDonald, and two others, unknown, were among tho victims. Tho boat was finally stranded near Point Au Barre übout daylight Friday, with Miss Morrison and myself only surviving. I put the bodios out on the beach." Tho steamer Northern Belle has left Parry Sound for the bodies. There were probably 100 persons on board the Asia. Telegraphic communication with Parry Sound is interrupted und this intelligence rcachs here by tug. [Tho luland Lloyds Vessol Register shows that tho propeller Asia was built by M.
