Professor Kettle’s death completes a family tragedy which can have few equals. The three daughters of David Sheehy, M.P., married respectively Mr.Culhane, a Master in Chancery, Mr. Sheehy-Skeffington, and the late Professor Kettle. – A few months ago Mr. Culhane died suddenly. Mr. Sheehy Skeffington ‘s end is too well known; his brother-in-law — one of the two soldier sons
of Mr. David Sheehy — was fighting against the rebels at the time that Mr. Sheehy Skeffington was being shot. Now, Professor Kettle is gone, too. ‘Within nine months all three sisters have been left widows.

NARRATIVE OF THE SCHOONER MARIA ELIZA.
(From the Newfoundlander of Sept. 19.)
We have been kindly supplied with the following interesting particulars relative to the
Maria Eliza. The annals of the trade cannot, we believe, furnish a second instance of a vessel having been driven by the ice a distance of 900 miles from her port of destination :
The schooner Maria Eliza, Captain Hughes, which arrived here on Saturday last from Cork, via Green,
land, has been a missing vessel for some months past She sailed from Cork on the 15th March for this port, with a cargo of pork, butter, potatoes, Sec, and on the 11th of the following month fell in with a field of ice, by which she very shortly became surrounded. From that period the vessel became the sport of the wind, and current and ice, until on the 30th April, she was driven towards the land, which it was extremely difficult to distinguish from the immense islands of ice by which it was bounded. After considerable exertion the crew succeeded in getting the vessel through, and found to their great astonishment they were on the coast of Greenland, some of the natives having pushed off their canoes. On the 15th May, they entered a small harbour called Nennortelik, about four miles east of Cape Farewell, very much exhausted from their sufferings on the ice, and having no fuel or water remaining, and received a hospitable reception from the Danish factor resident there. After some days delay at this place they proceeded along shore which was only clear of ice for the extent of a mile to the principal port, Julianababh, in lat. 61, the residence of the governor, who rendered them every assistance in his power. About two months after their arrival at this port, a Danish brig, which is annually despatched from Copenhagen with supplies for the factories, arrived there, and Captain Hughes then finding it would be impossible for him to get clear of the coaster the ice without assistance, concluded on remaining until the brig was ready to sail. On the 3lst August he sailed in company with the brig, and arrived at this port on Saturday last, just six months from the time of their leaving Cork.-There were two gentlemen passengers on board, Mr. Hickson and Mr. Popham, whose friends had long since mourned for their loss. During the vessel’s detention in Greenland the agents at the several Danish factories were ever ready to offer their kind assistance, and the native Esquimaux, who appear a simple, honest race, afforded very acceptable services, while the vessel was coasting along shore, it was frequently found necessary to tow through the floating ice, which was done by skin boats, rowed by native women, who were also very useful in providing articles of clothing for the crew. The winter had set in very severely previous to the departure of the Maria Eliza.
HURRICANE: A fully developed hurricane releases 50 or more terawatts of heat energy at any given moment, only about 1 percent of which is converted into wind. The heat release, Landsea wrote, “is equivalent to a 10-megaton nuclear bomb exploding every 20 minutes.” The entire human race in 2011 used about a third of the energy present in an average hurricane.
