Distressing Occurrence.

Last night, young man ofcstimablc char
acter and fine talent. named John Hart,
came to his death on |. street, between Fourth
and Fifth. in Il most distressing manner, by
getting accidentally hung on the palings Of Il
fence. 1t seemed from what we could learn
of the circumstances, that young Hart. who
is the son of very cstimable gentleman.
formerly connected with the Charleston,
S. c.. papers, came to his clearinghouse
at a late hour and attempted to climb over
the palings Of the front yard, and in doing SO,
his foot apparently slipped and he was caught
by the neck in Il manner to strangle him to
death. A faithful dog, which was with his
master, had cndcavored with all his power to
relieve him from the peril, and i'll doing so,
tore the clothes entirel Y of from young Hart,
in his efforts TO pull him down. When found
this morning, the body was stiff and cold, and
the clothes. torn in shreds by the dog. lay
scattered about. the faithful animal keeping
guard over the dead body of his MASTER
