Ban Thomas Barns, son of Acors
Barns, Esq, of New London, came to
his death under distressing circumstan-
ces on Wednesday morning of last week.
He was Conductor on the N i. w. & P.
Railroad. His train left New London
for Palmer in.she afternoon on Tuesday
At Mansfield his train stopped for wood
and water. Standing near his train, upon
some loose sticks Of wood, he gave tn,
word to proceed. AS the train wa:
passing he stepped forward to gain the
platform of the car. In so doing, the
wood gave way, and one of his legs was
thrown across the track-a wheel pass
ing over it below the knee, mangling it
in a shocking manner He was carried
to Wilimantic, where his leg was ampu-
tated by Drs. Morgan and Brandegee.
Soon after he was carried to New Lon
don, and expired at his fathers residence
on Wednesday morning The cause Of
his death was loss of blood before medi.
cal aid could be procured.
He was young man of excellent
promise, and universally beloved. He
will be deeply lamented, not only by his
relatives, but by his numerous friends
and acquaintances, many of whom re-
side in this village. His death is a
heavy blow to his deeply distressed
parents. But they will remember in
their affliction, that there is an overruling
Providence, who "doeth all things
we'll"

HORRIBLE CRUELTY AT SEA.-The
Brooklyn Adrertiser tells a horrible
story of the cruelty on board one of the
Liverpool packet ships of Messrs. Gin
nell and Minturn, of New York, which
is of so startling and revolving nature,
as to be almost incredible. We quote I:
The captain of the vessel in ques-
ton, on his last voyage hitherwald, not
only barbarously fogged every sailor on
board his vessel, but subjected them to
a series of abuses that none but fiend
could conceive or execute. He caused
heavy marline spikes to be fastened to
delicate parts of their bodies, and in this
condition caused them to be dragged
from one end of the deck to the other,
besides inficting upon them additional
unheard of torments. Taking some Of
fence at the steward of the ship, he
ordered him under pains and penalties
of the severest nature, to catch three
hundred flies, and not more or less-the
same to be delivered to him the cap
tain) within the specified time. The
poor fellow did as he was ordered, and
when he had presented to his tyrant
master the captives he had secured, he
was directed to eat each fly separately,
or be punished for each omission to do
so.
Upon reaching New York, the villain
would have been lynched by the passen-
gers and crew, had ho not managed to
escape by taking small boat from the
ship ere it obtained its moorings at the
dock. Officers were sent in pursuit OF
him, but it is reported that he He'd to
Canada. His place on board of the ves-
sci was, of course, supplied by the ap-
pointment Of some other person, The
above seems altogether incredible. If

TO the Editors Of the Literary Echo -
Alas, for that thief of time ! The
busy cares and anxieties attending the
eddying tide of society and business have
so occupied my attention and time, that
