The> tug bad on board a large number of persona, necking tbe remaiua of loet frienda. but owing to the rough weather they could not approach to within a quarter of a mile of the wreck. It waa thought three bodies oould be Been banging to tbe ratline* of the mizzen rigging. The Nellie ran within an eighth of a mile of the wharf, landirg at Gey- bead light, the aea running ao high that tbe tug oould not approach the wharf. A yawl waa launched, in win' h a number of perrons aet out for Oayhead, tbe wave* running twenty feet bigb, but all were landed lately there. Tbere were found ten per one who bad lauded aafely from tbe wreck, all of whom were alive and doing well. Tbey are Win. Bpaulding, of Boetou, pureer ; Henry CoHine, Taunton, aeoond awistaut engineer ; John Ilinea, Boston, fireman ; Tbomaa Butler, Prince Edward Inland, fireman; Wm. N. McDonald, Bo*- too, quarter- master ; Thomas O I.eary, Hen- man ; Michael Kennedy and K Iward O'Brien, St. John*, Nfll., waiten ; James U'Brlen and J. T. Tibbetn, paeveogera. Tbe niitors were then guided to a meeting bonne and othtr plaoeH, where tbe bod it H that bad been picked up bad been brought. At tbe meeting houae, a weather- beaten itruotnre, in one of the wildest plaoee on tbe ooaat, were found live bodiei, four men and one woman. Of these Mr*. Alice Atkinaon wu identified by ber uncle, A. 8. Belyea, of Lynn. He recognized ber at be entered the building, crying out : " That ii my dear niece, Alice." Her remain! were dreadfully mangled. Another body wa* identified a* that of George Kellogg, of Fitohburg. Tbe remain- ing three were not identified. Kellogg left the veeael in the boat with Quartermaster McDonald, and worked at the oar* until he dropped dead from eibauition and xpoenre. A body lying on the beach wa* identified a* that of Henry, Batobelder. Six bodies wer* fonnd in a but ; there were four men and two women. One of the women was recognized a* Mrs. A. B. Belyea. The other woman WM a mulatto, but neither *he nor the roen were identified. Along tbe itretoh of shore from the hut to Oaybead light nine more oorpee* were din- covered, all more or lees disfigured, the face of each wearing an exprewion of horror. None were identified. During the day the bodies were removed to plage* of shelter along the coast. Tbe native* wouldn't allow them to be removed unless the ex- penses of recovering them were paid. The remains of those identified we e conveyed by a yoke of oxen and cart to the wharf, wbere tbey were placed en boaid a tug. A Boston despatch says : Captain Ham moud, of Gcldiborougb, who was among the saved, after oliugiug about eleven hour* t > tbe wreck, aaya that r-Hween 7 and 8 o'clock in the morning tbe steamer Glauotu paased to the westward, but it took uot tbe lightest notice of tb* terrible tragedy euao lug ao near. He say* from hu out- look in the rigging of tbe City of Coiuiubua he oould diniiootly iee a man stauding against tbe house of tbe panning steamer, aud oau't conceive how a crowd of human beiugs in the rigg'ng of tbe wrecked veaael should have been overlooked. He oriti oisee sharply Ibe waut of duoipliue iu the management of the boats. The mate o' ebe steamrr Glauou* state* that hia vessel paused tbe wreck at a considerable dmtauoe, eight or ten mile*, and he avers that after a prolonged scrutiny through a glas he oould discover no evideuoe of auy humau b.-iug. A Woodaboll, Maw., despatch nay* : Tbe body of a lady, 45 year* of age, waa found at Cedar Tree Neck to-day. Tbe tug Storm King viaited the wreck of tbe City of Columbus to day. Tbe steamer appeared to be hung on the rocks by the bow. Moot of her hull i* under water, aud the cargo in washing out of her in great quauii'.iea. The wreckage haa drifted anbore along the Sound, aud it is believed that while moat of the bod i en were waabed overboard there are null some in tbe bull of tbe ship, and if xciootb euougb to morrow an tff >rt will be made to fiod them. Capt. Wright aaid iu reference to the statement that tbe pilot .ashed the wheel and went to warui bimaelf nt tl e smokestack, thtt the pilot boune wa jeated by steam, was very warm, aud here waa uo necessity to leave it to get warm A New Bedford, Mi*-,, despatch say* : All the train* to this city yeaterday were crowded with person* coming bete with the hope of bticig able to identify th>< dead which migbt hve been picked up ai.d Drought here by the cruising stearnem. Tbe tug Nellie returned about 6 o'clock, aud thousand* lined tbe wharf wbild tbe bodies she bore were slid up plank* to the wharf. All the bodien were frozen atiff, and the arma were all stiffened iu a position iu- dicatiig that the victims were frczeo to tb whne clinging to the wnrkagi. Amoag the bodies picked up by tbe Nome i* that of a well-dressed young woman, found about two aud a half miles eastward ot tbe Devil's Bridge. Sbe was apparently about T2 years old, bad long, dark brown, wavy hair, aud dark eye*. From ber dreaa pocket wa* taken a package of jewellery ne up in a handkerchief, consisting of a < >lil brooch, ear-ring*, necklace and 1 wket. M well as a little steel purae containing a mll sum of money. No papers were 'ouud ou ber body. Iu ber 'ap was found a tiny pair of baby shoe*. About a mile roni tbe wreck tbe body of a blonde man, witb full, sandy beard, waa picked op. Tbe Nellie next picked up what ia supposed to be the body ol Morton, of tbe Boetou ilniif. Another body picked up wa* that of a woman, probably 40 yeara of age. Sbe was badly bruiaed, probably by contact witb the floating debris. The fifth of tbe wdies was evidently that of a seaman. The captain ol the Nellie report* seeing other bodies wbiob it waa impooaible to recover, tbe sea being *o bigb. Nearly all tbe bodiee had on life preserver*, and were floating on tbeir backs, of all the victim* recovered, Mr. Morton'* face bore the most calm expreasion. Tbe examination for tbe mrpoae ol identification waa particularly iad. All tbe five victims picked up by tbe Nellie were identified, except the young woman, aa follows : The blonde man ia [.

Suspicions were arou*ed and tbe b< dy of tbe girl waa exhumed and found to be covered with tnife wound*, one leg broken, the skull crushed and the imbn frozen.

About 1 o'clock tbi* nori.ing a band ol m**ked men went to the lotel wbere they were in custody and over- powered the sheriff's guard. They then took >he prisoners outeide ol the town limits, here the woman waa banged to the ridge- rale of a vacant cabin.

A peculiar cane baa been before th* court* iu Scotland. Rev.

It wan shown that the occurrence took pUce eight yeara since, aud th* remain* bad been then buried nine yean and were merely diain terred|and abipped for rein tt-rujeut. The curious part of tbe cane ia tbe decision that a railway oould not ret uae to carry a oorpee at tbe ordinary rate. When ibey charge more II is because ot agreement. Judgment wa* given for the oleruyrnau. At the plead 1 1 g diet of a Jury Court at K Imarnurk lately, Sarah Boyle pleaded guilty to a charge of bigumy, aggravated by previous oui.ujtiou.

After a lengthened interval, believing him to be dead, bia wife married another man named John Smith in 1 -so. Radlock, however, turned up last year, and hu wife suffered two mouth*' imprisonment for bigauiy. In April laat Smith dud , and in November she married a laborer named William Agnew, ber law- ful husbaud being still alive. It appear* bit wa* under tbe impression that, having suffered for her aroond marriage, her partner in thi* illegal compact being dead, aud her husband uol wishing to have any- thing to do with her, she wa* quite at liberty to marry again.
