L'isco, ureeniann, August zo Tiie Tigress arrived here yesterday from the North, having discovered tlie camp of the crew of the Polaris at nine P. M. on August 14. There was a heavy snowstorm and ice.pack to the northward. A boat expedition was sent out under command of Lieu tenant-Comman- der White, who found a body Esquimaux in possession of the camp of the Polaris craw. Tbe crew had passed last winter ia this place, where the weather was very severe, latitude being S dcg. 23 min and longitude io deg. 4U nun. west; tncy uuut two wiiaie-ooa- ts ot pieces of the ship. Having made all their preparations, they deserted the ves sel and left for Cape York late in June. The ship was still afloat, moored to the rocks with hawsers; a heavy gale of wind came up about the middle of July and the moorings b oe, the ship cut adrift and sank, the wreck being covered with ice. All the paders were secured, and the Tigress stood south for Cape York, lookiug out for people, but there were no signs human beings. We stopped atteveral settlements to make inquiries, but could learn no news of the Polaris' ciew. It is prob" ab'e they have been taken on board a w haler and goi e to the west side of IiV!ss Straits eccording to custom, The Tlgrcwj sails to day in search of whahrs; all hands are well.

In tlie Scotch Highlands the near est rebit'ves dig the grave while the funeral waits; and throughout both England aud Scotland, a dislike exists against being buried on the north side of the graveyard. It was generallj reserved lor the un oappsed, the excommunicated, and for suicides. The south, direct east and west or near iLe altar were the favorite localities. The peculiar omens regarding the New Year are very singular. It is considered very unlucky to lend any- thing on .New Year's day, aud in many parts of England and Scotland they will not suffer fire or irou to be taken out of the house, la Liucolr and every member of a family brings something into the house be. fore anything goes out ; and they have a proverb lake out, then take iu. bud luck will begin ; but take in, theu take out, aud good luck will come about" In the Isle oi Man they will even throw out ashes or dirty water i-- this day ; aud it would be con-sidir- eJ an unpardonable wrong to .1 sweep the house lrom the heartn to the door. On the 1st of January the b.o iu must work lrom the door to the hearth or year will be an unlucky one. t i ao not need to point the mora of all these fancies. Their folly is universally acknowledged and bowed lo. Yet every thoughtful , enlighten- - ed mind recognizes with gratitude that their lives have fallen in day when the wonders ot science are greater than the wonders of super stition. Nor is this all ; we know that tlie destinies of humanity are in the bosom ol God, aud that "the steps ot a good man are all ordered by Him who doeth all things well aud kind' 'J- To fall or stumble at the bejrmiiing of a week of an noyance, but to fad up stairs if the party did not look behind afterward , was au assurance of a run of success iu busnes.

Ihe fecotch look upon yawning in the same light. Among birds the cook has always enjoyed high honor as a diviner, if he crows ou tlie thieshold of a house some fortunate visistor is coming. In Persia,, however, they kill a cock that crows at an unusual hour ; ai.d in the Southern states they kill a lun. which under any circumsinces, or at any time crows, believing that if this is not done some death m-- the lamily will speedily OGCur.

Untie vel oped Viffor The feeble and debilitated usually fancy they are in a more hopeless condition than they really are, The resourcts of nature are- - not easily exhausted. Lven when strength and appetite fail, when the eyes are heavy and hmtrelees, the complexion pallid, the nerves tremulous, the body at tenuated, and the mind depressed, there is generally a reserve of latent power behind such palpable evidences of weakness. Va- rious modts of treatment arc resorted to by physicians in the hope of developing and rendering available this store of sleeping vitality, but the surest, and indeed the only thoroughly safe and reliable means of awake- ning the dormant energies of system is a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. , Electric" ty, shower baths, the tfeeh brush, sea bathing, &c , may be well enough in their way, as auxiliaries, but they do not reach the source of the evil. All physical dahility proceeds either from adcrangement of the functions of the assimilating secre- tive and ital organs, or frjm a sluggish constitution. In either case, and also in cases where both causes exist, the Bitters' will invariably produce an immediate and salutary change in the condition of the patient, and eventually effect a complete cure None of the dangerous alkaloids, too often administered as tonics, can be other wise than deleterious under cucli circum-- 6 1 aces, and to give mereury is positively criminal. The direct effect of the great vegetable specific will be manifested in an ituprxrveir appetite, amoreeheerfnl frame of mind a gradual return of strength, n in- crease cf flesh and healthier complection. Meanwhile, however, the constitution, if inert and feeble, will h.ive been roused and renovated by the subtile elements of contained in the Bitters.

L'isco, ureeniann, August zoTiie Tigress arrived here yesterdayfrom the North, having discoveredtlie camp of the crew of the Polarisat nine P. M. on August 14. Therewas a heavy snowstorm and ice.packto the northward. A boat expeditionwas sent out under command of Lieutenant-Comman- der White, who founda body Esquimaux in possession ofthe camp of the Polaris craw. Tbecrew had passed last winter ia thisplace, where the weather was verysevere, latitude being S dcg. 23 minand longitude io deg. 4U nun. west;tncy uuut two wiiaie-ooa- ts ot piecesof the ship. Having made all theirpreparations, they deserted the vessel and left for Cape York late inJune. The ship was still afloat,moored to the rocks with hawsers; aheavy gale of wind came up aboutthe middle of July and the mooringsb oe, the ship cut adrift and sank,the wreck being covered with ice.All the paders were secured, and theTigress stood south for Cape York,lookiug out for people, but therewere no signs human beings.

We stopped atteveral settlementsto make inquiries, but could learn nonews of the Polaris' ciew. It is prob"ab'e they have been taken on board aw haler and goi e to the west side ofIiV!ss Straits eccording to custom,The Tlgrcwj sails to day in search ofwhahrs; all hands are well.

Onions and Superstitions.In tlie Scotch Highlands the near

est rebit'ves dig the grave while thefuneral waits; and throughout bothEngland aud Scotland, a

dislike exists against being buried onthe north side of the graveyard. Itwas generallj reserved lor the unoappsed, the excommunicated, andfor suicides. The south, direct eastand west or near iLe altar were thefavorite localities.

The peculiar omens regarding theNew Year are very singular. It isconsidered very unlucky to lend any-thing on .New Year's day, aud inmany parts of England and Scotlandthey will not suffer fire or irou to betaken out of the house, la Liucolrand every member ofa familybrings something into the house be.fore anything goes out ; and they havea proverb lake out, then take iu.bud luck will begin ; but take in, theutake out, aud good luck will comeabout" In the Isle oi Man they willeven throw out ashes or dirty wateri-- this day ; aud it would be con-sidir- eJ

an unpardonable wrong to

ti ao not need to point the moraof all these fancies. Their folly isuniversally acknowledged and bowedlo. Yet every thoughtful , enlighten- -ed mind recognizes with gratitudethat their lives have fallen in daywhen the wonders ot science aregreater than the wonders of superstition. Nor is this all ; we know thattlie destinies of humanity are in thebosom ol God, aud that "the steps ota good man are all ordered by Himwho doeth all things well aud kind''J-

To fall or stumble at the bejrmiiingof a week of an noyance, but to fadup stairs if the party did not lookbehind afterward , was au assuranceof a run of success iu busnes.

Sneezing to the right hand or between midr.iirht and noon was one ofthe best of all omens: although StAustiu says the ancients went to bedagain if they sneezed while putting ontheir sh-jes- .

The feeble and debilitated usually fancythey are in a more hopeless condition thanthey really are, The resourcts of natureare- - not easily exhausted. Lven whenstrength and appetite fail, when the eyesare heavy and hmtrelees, the complexionpallid, the nerves tremulous, the body attenuated, and the mind depressed, there isgenerally a reserve of latent power behindsuch palpable evidences of weakness. Va-rious modts of treatment arc resorted to byphysicians in the hope of developing andrendering available this store of sleepingvitality, but the surest, and indeed the onlythoroughly safe and reliable means of awake-ning the dormant energies of system is acourse of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. ,

Electric" ty, shower baths, the tfeeh brush,sea bathing, &c , may be well enough intheir way, as auxiliaries, but they do notreach the source of the evil. All physicaldahility proceeds either from adcrangementof the functions of the assimilating secre-tive and ital organs, or frjm a sluggishconstitution. In either case, and also incases where both causes exist, the Bitters'will invariably produce an immediate andsalutary change in the condition of thepatient, and eventually effect a completecure None of the dangerous alkaloids, toooften administered as tonics, can be otherwise than deleterious under cucli circum-- 6

1 aces, and to give mereury is positivelycriminal. The direct effect of the greatvegetable specific will be manifested in anituprxrveir appetite, amoreeheerfnl frame ofmind a gradual return of strength, n in-

crease cf flesh and healthier complection.Meanwhile, however, the constitution, ifinert and feeble, will h.ive been roused andrenovated by the subtile elements of

contained in the Bitters.
