FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENTAL Mrs. Waters
had Just taken her seat in the New York
and Erie cars at Jersey City, in company
with her children, when, on looking out of
the window to ask about her baggage, her
head was caught between the cars-slowly
moving-and post, and SO badly crushed as
to kill her instantly. The post was within
three inches of the side Of the cars.

Man Drowned.

Last evening after dark a man fell off
the gangway between the David White and
the upper wharfboat, and in a second was
whirled by the current under the drift wood
which had collected between the boats, and
disappeared forever. As the accident hau-
pened and was over in second, no oppor-
tunity was afforded for telling who the man
was. He is supposed to have been deck.

THE SEA WAGoN.--This is the name Of an
invention, the caveat already filed in the
Patent Office, by Mr.. Fulton. of Princeton,
New Jersey, which is to be, if successful,
nothing less than steamship, propelled on
rollers or wheels that are TO 90 over the wa
ter instead of under it. The wheels are &c ur
hollow cylinders, of boiler iron, ar-tight, and
forty feet in diameter. These are t. be
strengthened by means Of compressed air,
forced into them by an air-pump attached to
the main engine. The inventor claims that
at about forty-four revolutions per minute his
machine would be propelled mile, aud an
doubtedly wonld tear things and astonisn
even the sea monster. A letter writer
says.

machine. eight leet in length, with six-inch
cylinders, driven by small engine, that, for

Futon's invention, but closed up quickly,

4 SKETCH FROM THE PAST.

\ few days ago, while looking over some
ancient manuscript in the handwriting of nv
granitathcr's second cousin, found the fol-
lowing fragment. 1t was written in sharp.
angular, and somewhat ilcsiblc hand. as tho
the fingers that held the pen were quick and
violent in their action, but it had nothing a.
bout it that indicated trcpihation, or inlc"is-
ion. 1t had a peculiar interest for me-
bringing vivllv to my recollection the story
my grandfather used TO tell of his cousins
tra.iral death.
The author of the manuscript, so the story
used to run-wa> an extremely sensitive nerv-
Gus vcn,leman,vio.c and hastyin his passions
and re>cntmcnt>, and subject occasionally to
strange Authorizations. At such times he
believed that he had not friend or relative
in the world - that he was but stranger
and an outca>t. His friends dcplorcl this
unhappy constitution of his mind, and used
to try to divert his attention from such un-
happy thougl,t>. hut usually to little purpose
until, after day or two spent in such m,'lan-
choy, the cloud would pass from his mind
and leave it quite sunny and hopeful.
One gloomy afternoon. late in October. in
the ycarl he appeared unusually d>pirIfc'
and ont of he.. ..rt.and retired to his room The
report Of a pistol was heard, and the family
rushed to his chamber on'y To ind him dv'rs
The weapon with which he had committed the
fatal act was vet smoking in his clcnchcd
hand, and in his right temple was the wound
where the lead had gone crashing and tear
in. through his brain
With the diving flowers and falling leaves
they laid him in the old churchvard in NJ
and plain marble slab indicates the place
where he at last ,ound rest.
have more than suspicion that his men
tai diStcmpcraturc was only an agsravatc,
form Of the blues. and the manuscript con
firms me in this opinion. The paper bear,
no date. but was probably written Just bc'or,
fI
