In plper p, bl. shed in tbs town, yestcr-

was made TO ystify those, who we're so 'ost 10

town, i did hoi succeed &. -tr-t.rr
This attempt vas made, at the, request of
some one inter, sted, and the request
was very gladly and with avlditJ accepted, by
an nd yidual, who, whilst lie was Einself the
tenant of jail and experienced all it's hor-
rors. sighed and wbined sboi imprisonment
for Debt, and occupied iEe pages of pubic
newspaper, in declalming aeans' such spe-
cies OF barbarism. For the honour ofthe town
we now state, that a day or two after the lady
was imprisoned, and The next day after our
publicatio a gentleman, h stranger TO us,
called, and placed III our hands, as the gift of
a lady, Thirty dollaIs, TO be delivered 10 the

G-DIsrRrssING.-O On Wednesday last,
(says the N. Y. Ga7eite,) large party of la
dies and gen lemon (of which Mr.. Suydam,
his lady, two daus hters and two sons, compos-
ed part) left this city with the Intention of
visiting the Falls Of Niagara. Montreal and
Quebec. TLey reached Utica on Friday last,
ha 4 nd en- -.
pating pleasant jaunt and happy return to
Their domestic circles-but a few brief hours
and all their expectat ons vanished! A visit TO
Trenton Falls was proposed and agieed too,
and they accordngl repaired thither tic same
afternoon. The next morning after breakfast
the party went TO the falls, and from some
cause not yet known, Nj IS ELIZA M. SuYpAM,
was precipitated from the top of the Great
Fall into the abyss below! Two hours af,er
the fatal accident occurred her body had not
been recovered. The feelings of fond and
doatng parents, of5eloved sister and brothers,
and of sincere friends, who witnessed the catas-
trophe may be imagined, bnt we are not
equal TO the task of describing them.
Mss Suydam was about IL years of age, and
to an interesting person added a well stored
mind. Her Young associates will long remem-
ber her superior worth, and can never cease to
regret her melancholy death.
Since the above was written, we have learn
ed from passengers in the steam boat Albany,
winch arrived last evening, that the body had
been found about forty rods from the place
where she fell in, and was to be inferred ut
Ultra on Monday afternoon.
q. The Albany Argus contains some additional
particulars of the late melancholy disaster at
Trenton Falls
Miss Suydam, with party consisting of
her father, mother, brother, and othor relatives,
in the course of contemplated tour to Mag
ara, visited the Trenton Falls. Whilst there,
and engaged in passing along the usual path,
for the purpose of viewing the falls, Miss Suy-
dam, who had the arm of her brother, released
1t for moment to enable him to assist the
other ladies', when again looking round, she
was not 10 be seen, and the appalling truth
became immediately evident, that she had fall
len from the precipice into the rapid stream
below. All that was discovered, however.
was her hat and comb. floating in one of the
whrlpools; and it was not until the next day.
and that by the aid of poles, that the body was
recovered, much bruised and disligured Tho
disconsolate party returned 20 Utica, where
the remains were inferred on Sunday"
