DESPERATE Row AT LYNcHBURe.-
We understand from friend, that q ter
rible row took place at Lynchburg
Thursday night, between the showmer
at Barnum's mammoth exhibition and
the citizens OF Lynchburg, resulting
from the great number of extra charge:
made, Notwithstanding the published no
tice that the whole was to be seen fol
fifty cents.
We learn that FIVE persons, two o
the citizens and three Of the showmen
were very seriously if not fatally in
jured, and many others slightly. The
affair wound up by the entire demoli
ton of the ticket office, and the de.
struction of its contents, with no little
incidental damage to the show fixtures
The scene is represented to have been
fearful; men, women, and children were
assembled under the huge tent, and the
greatest CONSERVATION prevailed. Un-
able to leave the tents. being in some
cases deserted by their protectors, and
in all afraid of being shot or knocked
down in the melee, the alarm of the
ladies was excessive.
After our informant left the scene of
action, he heard fifteen reports of pistol
shots, and clubs and fists were very
freely used during the whole continu-
ance of the disturbance Petersburg

The WRECK OF THE ERIE.-Pieces oI
the wreck of this boat which was burned
to the waters edge and sunk in August,
1841, near Silver Greek, have been
raised and taken to Buffalo. The arti-
cles recovered from the wreck consist
of coin, melted silver and iron. Some
$4,000 in foreign and American gold, a
number of fve-franc pieces. few
spoiled watches, and other articles OF
little value have been found among the
rest. One of the watch dials is perfect,
and the hands point to twenty minutes
of eleven. One of the gold pieces has
attached to it single link of a gold
chain. The silver, which was melted,
varies in size from that of shot to masses
weighing several pounds. In all, there
are some l6Oopounds. Some 60 tons of
broken machinery have been taken out
the walking lean was recovered en-
tire, and save little rust looks as good
as new. A roll of twenty-six fve-franc
pieces which had been jostled from their
perpendicular, and then melted togeth-
er, may be seen. Also one which is
perfect.

DISTRESSING AND FATAL ACCIDENT
RESULTING FROM THE CARELESS USE OF
FIRE ARMs-A BErRoTHED You've Wo.
MAN SHOT BY HER LovER.-We are
called upon to record another deplorable
accident, resulting from a criminally
careless use Of firearms. On Sunday
night, Daniel Macarthur was sitting in
the same room, in No. 314, Seventh
street, with Catharine Desmond, a
young lady to whom he was engaged.
Catharine was sitting at a small stand,
reading book, and her lover was teas
ing her and trying to transfer her at
tention from the book to himself, by
extlnguishing the candle. Finally, all
of his fond efforts having failed, he
took double-barrelled shot gun which
stood in the corner, put on a cap, and
pulled the trigger, intending to blow
out the candle with the air forced out of
the gun by the explosion of the cap
Unfortunately the gun was loaded, and
the horror stricken man heard loud
report, and saw his betrothed sink to
the floor, bleeding and dying. A full
charge of shot entered her right breast,
and in spite of the efforts of the ply
sicians who were called, she died yester
day morning about two O'Clock. The
unhappy young man is of course al
most distracted. He surrendered him
self. and was yesterday morning exam
ined in the Police Court. The testimo-
ny showing no criminal intention, he
was discharged. The dead and the
living were to have been married in
about two months.
This is one of the most melancholy
accidents that has ever occurred from
the careless handling of firearms. The
numerous accidents resulting from this
cause, which have been recorded in the
would seem sufficient to de-
ter all sensible persons from indulging
in so foolish practice. But they have
no effect; and day after day
valuable and dear lives are sacrificed.
thoughtlessly by persons who but poor /
ly atone for their folly by long years of
remorse.-C Gin. Gazutte.
