.tGSSrs. Edit0rg:-Last night another fatal ac-
cident occurred in tins place. Thomas Ilalser,
or l1asln, 4 cooper, and widower, with two
children, in attempting 10 reach his boarding
house, fell into the race attached to the mill be-
longing to Charles Carroll, of Doughcrghan,
and was unfortunately drowned before assist
ance could be rendered or the water run Off
After being one hour and half in the water,
the body was recovered, but TOO late for rcstot-
alton. Either the Turnpike company or ChaS.
Carroll, should have the race walled or fenced
Blame lies so.new here--und | trust that con-
science, directed by the present fatal occur
renee, Will point ont the person or persons who
should remedy the evil. The person who can
prevent death, and occasions it by his negli-
geuce, is guilty of murder as much as the high
Tayman who kills his victim for money.
This morning the Railroad Hotel, formerly
toe property Of Joseph Barring, Esq, lately re-
moved TO Baltimore, was sold by II. w. Booi,
Tor So 500, to Thos. Wilson, Esq, of your city.
The buildings and garden occupy three and
half acres, and would have brought $4,000, if
in The vicinity Of New York.
1t is generally known that this is one of the
most romantic spots in the world. Of course,
The trees are of the most pleasing kind, but ono
OF them bears fruit peculiarly pleasing to tic
ladies', especially to those of Baltimore. Their
curiosity is naturally excited, for they are the
most curious" beings on earth. Methinks |
hear them, with one voice, asking ''What tree
Is IT, what fruit does it bear? The oak? the
pine. the beech, or the hckory?'' Mo- we in

the Tree Of Lore, and ii bears young gentlemen,
rs thick as blackberries. To be explicit saw
IN Striders Railroad Hotel, an engraving, from
Germany, suspended against the wall, repre-
sentng the before mentioned tree, exhibiting as
fruit, dsndics, lawyers, merchants, fiddlers,
poets, and mechanics, while handsomely dress
% ladies arc beneath using their efforts to OBJ
tain them, with persuasion, sticks, and ladders,
~ two OF the "fair creatures" are attempting
to saw the tree down, like many of that sex
who wish to nOnOpOli.e the males. The law
yers and merchants seem TO be the prominent
objects of attraction, symbolzing, presume,
that penehant which some females have for mo-
ary irrespective of character. The poor poets,
lidders, and mechanics, are disconsolately look
ing downwards in vain for bids" from the self
ISL angels, reminding one of the same scenes
which take place in actual life-that being
"Well equipag'd,
Is ttckr; good enough to pass through
EY'ry door"
while "it is easier for camel to 90 through
the eye Of 4 needle" than for a poor, although
tneritorious man, to win the affections of some
tastldious females. During this struggle for
husbands, one lady, who has secured an old
gentleman, is going Off with him exclaiming:
"a rich old lover is better than none.''-an err |
ror, which some young ladies, at the instiga-
tor Of their parents, commit.
