DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

! Drowning of Major Willard, and Mr.. r. G. Lines
Major Willard and Mr.. r. G. Lines, Ia native,

to examine the conditROn of the telegraphlc wires
between this city and the route which passes near

hIo dis,ance ON their mission They left Fort Wood
with an exnerienced boatman to guide the helm, for

From the. evidence brought To bear IN the matter 1t

them whilst they We're struggling III the water to
tho bost whilst it laid bottom upwards, but owing
n its smooth round Sides they were unable to hold
ON TO il, and after repeated efforts, they sank to
rise in life 10 more.'' Downing describes the
scene as an awful one. He saw his companions
one by one sink into their watery graves whist he
with his hands upon the bottom of the upurlied
boat struggled prese his own life. With great
exerlion he ultimately managed to push the trail
vessel or in fact rather drift it to shOa, where
he was enabled to right it. Here Downing baled
the shallop out with his hat and afterwards roWed
or moved it up to the place from which the unfort-
nate parties had started FROM by tearing out of
the thwarts and using it as paddle. When he OBJ
tanned srccour he was himself almost at the portal
of death. and il was for time almost impossl-
bile that he could recover himself suflicenty to re-
late the fatal account.
The unfortunate affair above spoken of was the
whole talk of the city yesterday. and the sympathy
of our entire population excited. Major VIII

entail relatives in this community, leaves III the
hearts of those who loved and honored him-nlehes
not even to be entered save by those who knew
him BEST Would that oil could be poured upon
the wave of sorrow. but He who once stllled the
bosterois waves of Galiee, knows best! Peace |
and honor to his memory.
In closing this mournful article, we cannot but
pay a just compliment to Mr.. r. G. Lines. He was
a young man, in the very prime of life and by his
employers the managers of the Teegraphic Line,) |
in this city, most highly esteemed. We under |
stand that he leaves a mother and sisters who de-
pended upon him for support.
A committee of gentlemen proceeded yesterday |
evening to the scene of the above disaster, for the
purpose of discovering the bodies of those who
have already been alluded to- Should their
mains be obtained they will be brought to this city
for interment.
