CITY INTELLlGENCE.

81 t'UOtc tilt-I HSo u ItpNHU' IJule on "a
turday afternoon, as n party of small bow
were playing on the wharf Of the Back Basin
near the foot Of Caroline-st., one of them, .
German lad, aged about twelve years, acct
dentally fell overheard, and would undoubted-
! ly have been drowned, but for the timely ar.
rival and prompt aid of Mr. Frederick Myers
/ At the time MIR. Myers reached the wharf, the
/ boy had gone down for the second or third
/ time and was fast losing all consciousness.
I Mr. Myers did not take time to dseneumber
himself of even his coat, but thought only of
saving the life Of fellow being, and plunged
INTO the water, Owed to the bottom, brought
/ up the lad, and after "buffeting the waves
for few minutes, reached the shore and placed
his burthen safely in the hands of the specta-
tators. The boy was Immediately nut in
charge OF physician, and by q course of en-
ergetic rubbing restored to life and health
We love to place on record such acts as the
above; they are green spots in the desert waste
Of life. We learn that MIR. Myers had in his
pocket-book fifty dollars in bank bills, which
became so saturated with the water that it is
feared some of them may prove loss to him.
We trust such may not be the case.
Military. We learn that the Eagle Artillery
company have determined positively to take
their tour for drill and camp duty on the ensu-
ing anniversary Of American Independence
They purpose spending the 4th of July at West
minister, Carroll county, and will leave this city
in the afternoon of Thursday, the day previous,
making short stay at Reisterstown, and other
places on the route, going and returning. They
will take with them tents and camp equipage
and travel as mounted company, which will
enable them to do so at small expense, and
prove source of great pleasure to the mem
bers OF the corps, as well as a gratifying sight
to those citizens of the counties who have ne
yer seen company OF mounted Artillery We
are glad to know that the company is increas-
ing in numbers; and the late officers and non
commissioned officers (many Of whom have &C.
cupied their posts for many years past and rem
dered service to the community have, with a
commendabe zeal, in order to afford an eqnal
chance 10 new recruits, vacated their Offices
and entered the ranks, and the corps has deter
mined to make ne selections to fill the vacan-
cies until the ranks are full-which, consider
ing the importance Of this arm of the militia
service, we hope soon to see the case. The
drill in It's details, with the use of the broad
sword, in which this corps is very proficient, is
a graceful and manly exercise.
Death from Fail, A German named Ernst
Werner, employed in dyeing, at the carpet
factory OF MIR. Beck, Marsh Market Space
near Lombard street, met with fatal accident
GA Saturday last. He was engaged in spread
ing wool upon the roof of the two-story back
building, when his feet slipped, and he fell to
the pavement below, breaking the rear part of
his skull, and so mutilating the brain as to pro-
duoe death in about ten minutes afterwards -
Prof. Smith and other medical gentlemen were
in attendance, but the injury was of such a ma
turc as to defy all medical skill. An inquest
was held by Coroner Gallup, and a verdict
rendered IN accordance with the above facts.
The unfortunate man was of sober and indus
trious habits, and leaves wife and two chill
dren, residing on Fell's Point, to mourn his loss
| Military. A grand parade of our citizen
soldiers composing the 9TH and SD regiments
! will take place this afternoon. The 5th repi-

mer uniform, and the 5Sd in Exchange Place,

regiment will be in fatigue dress and caps.-
We should be pleased to see foil turn out.
