Sad Occurrence.

A sad accident occurred on Sunday after
noon last at the "Snuff Mills" between Eng
lishtown and Old Bridge, about four miles
from the former place, on what is known as
Esquire Perrine's mill pond. Mr.. Samuel
Hill, accompanied by his wife, a son and
daughter, and his father-in-law, a Mr.. Boream
got in a boat lying along the shore for the
purpose of crossing to the opposite side
When about midway of the pond, Mr.. II. dis
covered the boat to be leaking badly in the
stern. and rapidly filling. He Immediately
seized bis daughter and jumped overheard. III
SO doing, he caused the boat to capsize, pre-
cipitating the others in the pond. The hoop
skirt of Mrs. H. kept her from sinking. Mr., b.
seized the boy, and the three, by clinging to
the boat, reached the shore in safety Mr..
Hill, although a good swimmer, and his little
daughter, aged about six years, were drowned.
He held fast to her until going down the third
time, when he released his hold. The child
did not sink a third time, being buoyed up by
her clothes. The body of Mr.. n. was soon
recovered, and both were buried on Monday
last.

side in two places, and i%nflicting three severe
COMMISSIONS, two above the left temple. and one
upon the middle of the forehead, leaving him
insensible; while in this condition he exchanged
pantaloons and hat with Baldwin. Thomas
then returned to Camden. In a short time,
Baldwin became conscious, and found himself
minus his clothing and what money he had in
his possession. lie then made his way to the
farmhouse OF Mr.. Cox, and acquainted the
occupants thereof with the facts as above
stated. MI. Cox, after washing his wounds,
brought him to Camden, and started the off
GERS in pursuit of Thomas, who was arrested
at Third and Market streets, South Camden,
about 2 o'clock, p. NJ, by the City Marshal,
Mr.. Shaw. The injured man was conveyed to
the station house, where his wounds Ewere
dressed by Dir. Ridge. His situation is con-
sidered critical. Thomas is an old offender,
having recently been liberated from the State
Prison, where he had been serving out his sec
ond term for a crime Of a similar character.

DEArH OF a SLAvE.-The Newark Adrert4er
notices the death in that city, of a Mrs. Mercy
jackson, a slave belonging to the Coe family,
in her 10Th year, and adds that 'tshe was prob
ably the last remaining slave in this State"
This is a great mistake. There are now liv-
ing in Freehold, three, and we believe quite a
number can be found in other parts of the
county. Monmouth at one time boosted a
large slave population, and a fair proportion
of the old stock still live.

HEALTH OF SOUTHERN CITIEs.-An the Seaboard
of the South New Orleans Mobile, Savannah Charles
ton and Norfolk have this year enjoyed an immunity
from Yellow Fever which may be regarded quite IN
usual since season for years have passed without some
loss from that disease both in New Orleans and Charles
ton. Now is the time to adopt sanitary precautions
calculated to avert vsitatons in future at least to
mitigate their effects il they cannot be wholly prevented
But unfortunately there is too much reason to fear that
this temporary immunity may lead to careessnesS and
overcondence and thus prepare the way for terrible
return of the dreaded malady.
Setting aside the value Of life and health it would un-
doubtedly repay in pec1nary sense any outlay that
the property and authorities of those cities might
make to secure their future exemption from epidemcs
The barrier that the unheabness of the location op-
poses to the growth of New Orleans may never be
wholly removed but it may be made far less impossible
Charleston has suffered in business and been retarded in
growth from the same causes
The immunity that Wilmington has enjoyed for nearly
forty years due to her locality, which admits OF per-
feet drainage as also to the rOomness OF the lots occu
pied by residences and measuraby suppose to the
influence Of turpenne and urpentine dsteries as dis
inlectants.

RAILROAD MEET1NG.-In another column we publish
the proceedings of meeting of citizens of this town,
held in regard to building railroad from this point west
via Statesvle The meeting well attended and a
dell Express ia some remarks on the feasibility of this
scheme, says:
" The survey Of this road in North Carolina would pass
from Charlotte through nearly the length of rede perhaps
from south north west and in region
of country rich in agricultural and mineral productions
which is wholly andlocked from any of the great tho
roughfares except by teams billy and Indifferent dirt
roads great distance absolutely preventing products
being sent to any market The benefit that it would confer
therefore, upon this inland and secluded region would
be intellectually great trade would open up of large
importance to all the towns and cities of North Carolina
through this channel which be obtained until this
road is made Although much of this trade would go
south large sum of would flow eastward by the
of Wilmington, Newbern, Be aufort Morehead City, &C."

Bag~ We think the Newbern Progress makes slight
mistake in its comparison Of the Wilmington Weldon
to the Atlantic & r. c. Railroad. First-the w. e.
w. r. r. Co. always paid the interest on its bonds
secondly it was constructed with inadequate means, and
the directors had in fact to make it finish itself The
Road Of l62 miles has cost over three millions. 1t is
not probable that what with shave Oh bonds etc, very
little more was realized from debt and capital than has
been actually realized for the Atlantic and n G. r. r.
and in fact the w. W 4. r. never finished, or
anything like it, until it got 7 iron, when it paid dvi-
dends almost immediately spite of the new debt it had
to incur for said iron
So far any change in directory or otherwise in the
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad Company is con-
ccrned, only reply to any mputaon cast or in
tended to be cast upon the motives of the Board of In
ternal Improvements. The action of the Board we
know to have been based upon regard to the interests
confded to the Board-he interests of the State which
happens to be something. The State is large stock
hodera large endorser, and the mortgage of the Road
