American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1846-10-16

ed by plain wooden fence, and ia it there is
a spring of pure water. There are no improve,
ments on it, but in the immediate neighborhood
a number of large and handsome dwellings have
been erected. The expenditure OF a small sum
of money would construct building over the
spring, and lay out the place with gravel walks.
1t is beautiful and heathlul spot, and its I'M
provement would increase the value OF the pro-
perry, and be an ornament and benefit to the
city.
Remains of The gallant Col Watson. We un-
derstand that the "Independent Blues" at a
meeting held at their armory on Tuesday night,
appointed Samuel S. Mills, Esq member OF
the corps, to proceed to Monterey, and take
charge of the remains of Col. Watson, for re-
moval to this city. This promptness of action
on the part of the corps is highly credtable TO
the gentlemen composing it, and is a merited
tribute to the memory OF their late gallant
commander. The gentleman deputed to su-
perintend the removal of the rema ins was init
mately associated with the deceased, and the
duty could not have been devolved upon one
better fitted for the performance of the melan-
choly service. Mr.. Mills will leave for Monte
Iey as soon as the necessary arrangements can
be made.
,4ccidenL A young man, named S. Hcnryt
Hoen, an apprentice to Mr., Weber, engraver,
during the crowd at the Patriot office, on We'd
uesday night, accidentally fell over the iron
railing into the area in front Of the "Jarvis
Buildings, y and injured himself quite seriously.
His head struck the brick pavement below,
causing a conclusion of the brain, and blood
flowed quite freely from his mouth and nostrils,
while he lay nsensible for some time. He was
conveyed home, medical aid procured, and we
learn that he was much better and out of dan
ger yesterday morning.
Ornamental Writing. A fine specimen
ornamental writing, equal to any thing of the
kind we have ever examined, has been execuL-
ed by Mr. J. S. Nichols, teacher of plain and
ornamental penmanship, No. 81 | Baltimore ST.,
and presented to the manager of the Baltimore
Museum. 1t consists of descriptive sheet Of
the curiosites of the establishment, and, at first
sight, would be taken for fine Autograph. 1t
does great credit to Mr.. Nichols, and forms an
appropriate present to tile worthy manager eff
the establishment.
Sudden Death. A small daughter of Mr.. J.
R. Norman, residing at No. l29 East Bolti-
more street, named Johanna, died very sud-
denly yesterday morning. She had been I'M
well for day or two, and was not confined to
her bed, but running about the house as usual,
when about O'Clock, yesterday morning, she
was taken suddenly with spasms, and by ten
O'Clock, Gin about three hours,) was a corpse.
Drs Downes and Diffenderffer were called in,
and every thing that medical skill could de-
wise, used TO save her life, but without avail.
The cause her death was Supposed to be con-
gestion of the brain.
The Races. We learn that the sport at the
Canton Course, yesterday, was very fine, and
the racing excellent. Five horses entered, and
the purse (S200) was taken in two straight
heats, by Mr.. o. P. Hare's "Patsy Anthony"
To-day two three mile races come off, in which
"Fashion" will be a competitor for the club
purse. Exciting races may be anticipated.

Light st., near Baltimore, and stabbed by three

the next election. No less than eighteen came
for lodgings at the eastern district.

Treasurer, will be in the office for the purpose.
