Malaneholv End OF a sailing Party.

Tee Pawtucket Gazette gives the following
account Of the recent sad case Of drowning at
Blackstone, Mass, already briefly mentioned
by telegraph:
The party were sailing in a fat-bottom
ekif boat, on board which they embarked a
considerable distance above the dam. Becom-
ing deeply interested IN conversation and the
scenery by which they were surrounded,
they did not notice that the current,
which, the Blackstone river being high,
was strong, was fast carrying their frail
boat to the dam and taae FIRST intilnation
which they had of danger was when the boat
struck the dam. The conclusion thregy Miss
Brown into the river, and she was caught and
held by Mr.. Thorpe and another movement
of the boat threw Miss Cady out, who was al
30 caught by Mr. Thorpe. They all chung to
the boat, and with it went over the dam, the
boat striking On one end, and remaining lean
ing against the dam ip a nearly perpendicular
position.
The water belesv mot being very deep, they
obtained a foctholG, saa remained by the boat
a considerable time but being so thoroughly
wet, they were SO chilled that tlHy concluded
they should become helpless and perish if they
remained much longer, and resolved to make
an attempt to reach the shore. Mr.. Tforpe
says they all joined hands. and that the ladies
in audible voices, cessmitted themselves to God
asd implored his acceptance if they failed
The rapid and deepening current, and uneven
and uncertain footing, made their progress slow
and dangerous.
They at length anne to a rock which separ-
ated them, and the ladies, who are supposed to
have become nearly unconscious and helpless,
were swept away and drowned Mr.. Thorpe
was fortunate enough to seize hold of a bush,
to which he chung until assistance came and
rescued him. A woman on the bank Of the
river saw the danger in which the party were
placed, and went for aid.
Miss Brown was a daughter of Rev. Geo
Brown, of Pawtuc1et. Fhe Worchester Spy
says I" Miss Gady was the only child of one
of the most respected citizens of Blackstone,
the darling and pet of her parents, who had
spared no pains in the formation of her intel
iectual and moral character. She was a gen
eral %favorite; esteemed and beloved by all
who knew her"

are advised of high prices realized at our last
sales. nsga sassd geg m1eaG
Arguments arc seldom wanting on the APP
proach of every clipping season, 70 prove that
woods must be low andsthis year the war in
Europe affords dealers a good pretext, OF which
they are not slow in ayailing themselves
At the commencement Of the Crimean Wa
the same argument was made use Of and &C
viii remember that at that time woods ady&nc-
ed-and one great cause Of the advance was
the wholesale slaughter of the focks. which al-
ways takes place under sueh, circumstances to
supply the wants Of the army Since that
time, it is well known that 10 every wool Erow-
ing section except California, the increase Of
the production of wool has not kept pace with
the demand aud yet, at the first outbreak Of
another European War, it is claimef that
wool must decline at q time, too when man
ufactu-ers are in short supply and entirely at
a loss where to procure a stock Of domestic
wool. ~ sl9L"
With the limited supply in this and Euro
pean Markets, and the prospect that the war
will diminish that supply, we cannot believe
that woods will materially recede in price. En-
tertaining these views, and knowing theude-
termination on the part of buyers TO reduce
prices to about the opening rates Of last sea-
son, we would advise parties who propose to
buy and consign to US, to take all that is Of
fcred at last years opening prices as they wiz

1t may seem somewhat singular with you,

are over fifty voters who came fkem the North
and are Republican in sentiment. They pro-
posed a month ago voting for Goggin. but his
abuse of the Republicans lately Disguised them
and they agreed in a body to stay away from
the polls BY another guhermtoriai election
in Virginia the Republicans in tine State win
make themselves tell as n power.

THE WAR NEWS.

By reference to the news from Europe, given
to-day, it viii be seen that a battle has been
fought in Italy-and considering the number
of troops engaged in it, a quite sanguinary one.
Meantime matters seem to be rapidly approach
ing a crisis-and the warlike preparations of
parties not at present engaged in the quarrel,
and the general state of uneasiness which per-
vades large portions of the continent, portend
coming events of importance, causing inteIli-
gence from that quarter to be looked for with
great interest.

the fact that the Buffalo, New York Il Erie r..

reduction viii be more apparent when we state
