that behooves you to gallantly enter the list OF
competition if defeated honorabiy, and the high
character of the judges 10 a guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will ENJOY

tied to gu ccess than yourself.

On Sunday last, says the Newark Daily
Advertiser, the preacher Of the German Meth
odist Church in Market street began his SER
mon so beautifully and solemnly that it is
worth remembering. After laying down his
firstly, secondly, and thirdly, he uttered a
long sentence in his own native German,
which may be shortened thus: 81 have now
placed before you the outlines of my dis
course and may ! be so aided in speaking, and
you in attending and understanding, that be-
fore we 20 from this house we shall feel that
Divine Presence is here"
Old Dominic L--g, of the Dutch Church,
celebrated for his goodness and his homely
originality, on an excessively hot summer
Sabbath, when announcing his text, read of
four verses, and said; This is the founda-
tion Of the first head of my discourse and
reading four more, he said, This is the ground
of the second head of my discourse; and
reading another four, he continued, This is
the foundation of the third head of my dis
course. Then stepping back and pulling of
his warm cloth coat, he hung on the side
Of the pulpit, and, conspicuous in his white
linen sleeves, he began i.Now brethren, de.

Sad Accident and Death.

This morning, about 3 O'CLOCK. the Hack
belonging TO the Farmers Hotel, was driven
down 10 the landing, near the pier, fora
man named Barry, his wife, and two child
rem, who came in on Propeller. The dri-
yer left the hack with the above persons in
it, to look after the baggage While he was
absent the horses and hack went Into the
river, and the wife and two Childfen were
drowned. The afflicted and disconsolate
father is now al the farmers Hotel. We
learn the hack was driven near The pier
on account Of the i'll health of MIR. Barry.
One of the horses was blind both were
drowned.
1t is time that some meaiis Wefe used by
our city authorities to prevent these heart
rending calamities. Several persons hare
been drowned within the last lew tfionths ia
similar manner. Carriages should not be
allowed togo within certain distance of the
water, under severe penalties; and drivers
should be fined and imprisoned for leaving
their horses, especially in the nisht season.
Human life and happiness are OF too much
value TO be thus disposed Of, Something
should be done, and that itot6.
