friends of . ;'issipated Young man hit upon
the following novel expe,lient in the hopes of
effecung his reformation. Having u couple of
collins prepared tor the purpose, and placed in
the family vault,--on being brought home one

After remaining for some time incased in his
prison house, he aroused from his stupor, and

the depth of sac hundred .feet for the purpose of
obtaining salt water. The object of the enter

Remarkable >Escape.-On the passage of the
ship Alexander from New Orleans to New
York, young lad about fourteen years old,
from naturally frolicsome and mischevous dis
position, became troublesome in his FRANKS,
that it was threatened by the captain
that If they were not discontinued he would
confine him in a water cask.--Our youpgster
took no heed however, and at his second offence
was put in the cask, which was headed up, lea
wing large bung hole for the admission OF air.
That night the ship encountered violent storm,
ana IN a sudden lurch the cask containing the
ooy rolled over into the sea. Fortunately the
cask struck bung up, and foated about thirty
n m' when it was thrown on the beach of
cape st Bias. Here the boy made desperate
efforts TO extricate himself from his prison with
OUT success, and in despair gave up to die.

SHOCKING AND MOST DREADFUL AccrDENr
AND Loss OF LIFE-Two women were this
morning killed few feet from the Depot, by the
morning train of cars from Philadelphia. The
cars ran over the bodies of both ,severing half of
the head of the one from the body, besides mos t
shockingly mangling her in other respects; and
almost cutting in two in several places the body
of the Other. 1t is the most distressing accident
that has ever occurred in this place, and fearful
CONSERVATION has seized almost every nhabtant
of our town.
These poor women came up in the morning
train OF cars from Philadelphia; are strangers, 81
so mangled as to make it almost impossible to
describe their persons; both had dark colored
SILK dresses on, and otherwise gentee!ly clad.
The confusion at the depot was so great that
we could not get satisfactory account of this
awful dispensation of Providence, and know
not, therefore whose the fault is.
since the above was in type, the following
statement has been handed u.s.

ACCIDENT IN THE. HARBoR. AS the steam
boat Samson was retu rning to the city from Sta
ten Island, with an immense number of pas
sengers on board, while opposite Robins's Reef
the sanctions supporting the upper prom
cnade deck, gave way, when the whole mass
fell upon the main deck; burying beneath it
several hundred human beings. Fortunate
ly for the most Of those underneath, in falling it
lurched towards the stern of the boat one end
rested on box above the tratfrail, and the 9th
er upon the wheel guards forward, being sew eral
inches above the heads Of the passengers. This
Judgment, however, caused the falling deck TO
separate in the centre, which part it came i'm con-
tact with the dense mass of passengers, killing
lady, iS Nhs9ef and Or se eJ
The brotherY of Mr. G.. was at his side at the
time of the crash, and sprang forward few feet,
escaping thereby the awful fate of Mr. G.. Mrs
Johnson was standing up with n child in her
arms, near the centre Of the quarter deck--he
child escaped unhurt Nearly every one who
was standing in that part Of the boat was more or
less injured. Among those dangerously wound
ell by this accident, was Mr. Jacob M. llenriquies
broker, of Wall street, who had his breast and
color bones broken, and his ribs nearly all disIo.
Gated or broken-he has since died. David e.
Patton, Wall street broker, was also serious
y hurt Two or three persons, either fell or
jumped overheard during the conftson and
were picked up by the steamer Sum- which came
alongside at the moment. Capt. Clark of Brook
Ign; agent for one of the Insurance companies in
this city, was also severely wounded, as was
his lady. Both are now in precarous situations
One old man had his leg cut off entirely below
theS knee.
1t is due Captain Duval, who had charge of
the boat, to state that after the accident, he took
the best possible measures for relieving the suf-
ferers; we are equally bound on the part Of the
community to say, that great many more pas
sengers were admitted upon this boat than she
could safely accommodate.
The verdict of the jury was simply, "hat the
deceased came TO their death by the falling of
the promenade deck on board the steamer Sam
son.'-N. Y. Despatch.

cars, bnt had been smuggIed from the foot OF
Schuykill transportation lines. The fact of their
being in the burden car, was concealed from
the officers Of the company, the car having been
observed TO have been locked at Portsmouth,, the
last stopping place. The car agent had re-
quested the engineer to run slow at the crossing
of Second street. He no doubt intended to get
the women out there, to eude the payment of
toll, as tho rear door of his car was unlocked,
a ndshe himself got off there. The speed, how
ever, was too great for the women to get out,
and in consequence of the agent not being at his
post to uncouple his car opposite to the engine
house, the car was taken past the place of leav-
ing the burden cars. 1t then became necessary
to buck the train, $50 as place the burden car in
the rear to its proper place. The moment the
train stopped however, the supposlion is, that
the women began to Chamber out, and were in
the act of doing so when the retrogade motion
commenced, and were then crushed under its
wheels, without any one knowing that human
being was in the way of injury.-Harrisbug
Chronicle.

About 10 O'Clock yesterday morning the low
Ell part OF the city was thrown into excitement
ny vague rumors of a dreadful blow up on the
Harlem Railroad. How it came no one could
tell, but on inquiry found it hut too true. AT
ter gathering some information at the depot near
the city Hall, our reporter proceeded to the
scene of the accident, where he learned the fol
lowing particulars:
About 10 O'clock, A. Nj. the steam engine
which comes into the city with the cars from
Harlem ran off the track opposite Union Park.
The steam was already generated 10 excess, but
unfortunately the engineer neglected. TO blow il
OFT. 1t is also supposed that water had not been
taken III properly AT the stopping place.
When the engine thus got off the track, Il
number of the passengers, mostly mechanics
lent their service TO get it on again. While
thus surrounded, the boiler burst. The chief
engineer, William Spencer, was blown to piece
His legs went into Union Park, his arms q
pile oflumber on the other side OF the avenue
and his head was split into two parts. His alb
domen was also burst, and the ntestines scatter
ed over the road.
The assistant engineer. George Johnson, hat
both his legs broken, and his head, face, anC
breast dreadfully SCALED. He only hved a few
moments Another person employed, NAMED
Philip w. Case, was dangerously wounded
that il is supposed he cannot recover. There
were fifteen or sixteen other persons wounded
or scaIded. The fragments Of the boiler were
thrown in every direction and the mnchiner,
of the engine were entirely destroyed.
Another of the sufferers was Roderick Math
eson; son OF Thomas Mathesnn, of Az Crane
street, who was severely scaded on his legs &
had his face dreadfully lacerated by pebbles anC
sand being blown into it; but we are grattied L
learn he is getting better EUeninp Star.
