itentiary we yesterday announced, had been i'll,
we learn, for some tme and under the charge of
DR.. Garnett, the attending physician, receiving
also the kind attention Of the warden and his
family.
The deceased, who was convicted of larceny in
1861, and sentenced for a term Of ten years, be-
lOnyeQ 10 u Respectable family III Baltimore, III
good circumstances A settled melancholy had
weighed upon him for long time probably in
view Of his altered position in life. The name of
"JCseph Brown under which he was convicted
was. OF course, an assumed one.
He was buried on sunday i'm the Penitentiary
burial ground near James Creek, some Of his fell
low convicts, permitted to go outside the prison
walls for the OCCASION acting as pail bearers. An
affecting funeral sermon was delivered by Rev.
Mr.. Swypes, and the services altogether were IN
vested with peculiarly impressive interest
BIBLE PREsENTATIoN.-A very Interesting
scene anspired at the Sabbath school Of the
Capitol Hill Nj. T.. church last Sabbath morning
WIN. b. Waugh, Esq, who has been superin-
tendent of the school since its commencement,
intending to leave the city permanently, the Off
GERS Of the school presented him with handsome
Bible, accompanied with letter expressive of
their high regard for him for the able and faithful
manner in which he has discharged his arduons
duties. The presentation was made by Rev. X
Hough, pastor in charge, with few neat and APP
propriate remarks, which were responded to by
Mr.. Waugh very feelingly. We wish him many
friends where he is going, for well we know he
will deserve them.
FATAL AccIDENr.-Yesterday, Mr.. Cornell, an
employee Of Mr.. Joseph Stephenson in delivery
of freis ht from the railroad depot, was crushed
by barrel Of potash, which he was delivering at
Willards' hotel. The weight of the barrel was
about seven hundred pounds and in removing II
from the wagon, the support sliDped throwing
the barrel upon the unfortunate man: causing his
death in few moments II Is singular coinci-
dence that Cornell is a cousin Of the man who
was lately killed In similar manner at the rail-
road depot, and whose place Cornell took.
RUNAwAY.-Yesterday, horse belonging &c
Mr. George Naylor became frightened on Seventh
street, and ran of, making perfect smash OF the
carryall to which he was attached. Fortunately
no one was hurt by the occurrence. ..--
