A Sad Event.

Miss Anna NJ Lachaise, daughter of
James NJ. Lachaise, of this city, died on
board the Arago on the Sd inst, after a
short illness from brain fever, aged 10
years. This young lady was engaged to
be married to gentleman of this city,
Immediately on her arrival, and the bri-
dal wreath was bespoken. To-day, the
flowers that were to have adorned her
nuptials were strewn upon the bridal bed

robes this morning.
aThedelay IN the arrival Of the steam or
caused some anxiety among those who
had friends on board; and there was one
who watched at the wha7f until midnight
on Friday; and when the good news was
telegraphed-"the Arago is below"-,he
went home to his friends inexpressibly
happy. The next morning, on going ear
ly 10 the ship to welcome the bride Of his
heart, he found that the soul of his souls

gone. 1t is a sad thing, at best, to fix.
