The Newark(N. J. Eagle Of Wednesday morn
ing, gives the annexed account Of an almost in
credible leap.
We understand that a few days since, just
as a boat freighted with iron and other articles,
had turned the summit of the inclined plane, on
her descent at Boonton Falls, the chain broke.
and the car being thus freed from the restraints
of machinery, descended to the foot Of the plane
with great speed. giving the boat such a hasty
plunge into the water, that when she rose on the
swell thus created. it carried her over the tow
path at the bend Of the canal near the plane, and
precipitated her down a rocky p~reciplce Of about
200 feet. There she now lies a heap of ruins not
worth picking up-so high was she raised by the
swell. and so rapid her flight. that she scarcely
touched the tow path or any thing else, until she
struck upon a rock so or 40 feet below the sur
face OF the canal, add broke in two near the CEN
tre-the two parts then continued to descend
among the rocks. where they now lay. The
most incredible and remarkable part Of the story
is, that there were four persons on board. a wo-
man and three children, who went down the pre-.
cipice with the boat, neither Of whom received
any material injury. The captain and hands
went on shore to walk down the plane

Shocking occurrence Last evening about 8 o..
clock. Capt. Eleazor Barrow, of this county,
who had been confined in the Jail OF this place
nearly two years for a debt Of $40. cut his throat
with a razor, and died in about 10 minutes, leaN-
ing behind him a large family. So much for the
benefits of that system which subjects the. body
Of the poor and unfortunate man to the mercy OF
the creditor. He would have had a better
chance of paving his debts if left at liberty

low in the grave. This covenant is as' sumed presumptuously, when the parties know not what they say, and whereof they affirm. It is a relation formed by the or- dinance of God, and his word prescribes its duties. He cannot regard the transac- ton with favor, and make their union a mutual blessing in their future days, if they do not so far regard his directions, as to what they are, and prepare themselves to assume the obligation with the utmost sin- cerity, and cheerful intention of holding them in perpetual remembrance. They VOW to each other love, respect, confidence, mutual support, kindness, and inviolable fidelity. Their VOWS are registered m heaven; his directions for their spirit and behavior arc written before them in the Holy Bible. If these are disregarded, or infringeG, the book of remembrance will contain dark items, which they will shud- der to hear rehearsed when they stand to- gether at his bar. A needless inaitention to the import of this covenant, in one par ty, is fragrant injury to the other; while the offender plants thorns upon his pillow and forfeits the blessing of the Most High.
 On the other hand, these bonds are not grievous when they are well understood; duly weighed, and cheerfully ossumed.- They are silken chains, when mutual affec- ton binds them on, and when discretion has counted the cost. The devotion and service are nothing but liberty and peace, when the contracting parties have cordial ly bound themselves together with full understanding of what the relation implies. and from theil hearts, in tic fear of God. have resolved to be faithful unto death.

THE LAST WORD.


 From Village Tales, by Stacy c. Potts, Esq.
 It cannot have escaped the notice oi the most common observer of men aand things, that nature has 50 wonderfully di- versifcd her works, that almost every in- dividual possesses some distinct trait of character as well as peculiarity of feature. to distinguish him from others and that this variety runs alike through animate and inanimate creation. 1t seems as though he who spake the world into exis- tence, adapted its whole economy to the minds he intended to scatter over it's sur face preparing wide and ample held for the exercise of the various faculties, with which he endows the human intellect. Among men. for of them we are to speak more particularly, we see some passionate to an extreme, others mild and forbearine almost to stupidity some shrewd and cun- ming, others weak and imbecile; some kind, others cruel some silent and reserv- ed. others with tongues as endless as then impudence is exhaustless some who nev- CT fail to have the first word-and others who will have the last, if they die in the wordy contest, with lungs worn thread bare.
