Thos D. Gentry, middle aged man, was
| missed of the Johnsonville & St. Louis
Packet G. McPorter, on the morning Of the
22d Of December, q short distance above

so, as a bucket was missed at the same time.
Some letters found in his trunk indicated

Another letter was found in the case with
81 ambrotype Of a lady-it was addressed
to .sNr. William R. Tucker, at home, - and

ter Of regret that no post office was men
toned in the letters, where his friends or

sion of the officers of the steamer G. Nc
Porter. Any communication concerning
them addressed to the Clerk, Mr.. George s..

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2S.-Receipts for the past
two days have been Light, and the market
is frmer. Prices paid By packers yesterday
for lots here and on the way ranging from
$500 TO S94O@9.5O per 700 lbs. gross-the
outside price for extra hesvy. At this range
some 1900 heal have been sold since our
last report, OF which about 5000 head are at
st. Char es Il Z on the road.
CBICAGO, Dec. 23.-Ths reported sales TO-
day foot up about 1900 head, ranging in
price from SS.2j 10 $500.
The market has been characterized bv
more activity to-day than for a week or two
past. Packers and shippers have been ope-
rating actively, though the former have ia
ken the greater part Of the stock sold.
The predictions in regard 70 the increased
receipts, consequent upon the cold weather,
seem 10 receive some confirmation to-day,
from the fact that the receipts Of the last
two days have shown a decided improve
ment in number. The total receipts Of the
week thus fer, are about ,, 500 more thsu for
the same time last week. The prices paid
to-day are not essentially different from yes
terday, but there was a firm, confident feel
ing noticeable among buyers of heavy prime
hogs, but the lighter weights wee not so
firm. The receipts for the week have been
about equal 20 the wants OF the trade, and
should we have a rush Of numbers, it seems
highly probable that prices would be injuri-
ously affected.
We quote the market as active, and prices
generally unchanged and hrm.

RaiIroad Accident,

Troy, September SO.
A railroad accident occurred on the Rens-
selaer s. Saratoga Companies long bridge
crossing the Hudson River at this place
about seven o'clock this evening, as train
was backing towards the city for the pur.
pose of starting out at eight o'clock. Ihe
engine was running tender foremost fol-
lowed bytwo passenger cars and bag.
gage car; the swing draw bridge was open
at the time and usual lights were displayed,
but the engineer misunderstood them and
did not notice the open draw until close
upon it. The Locomotive, Jay Gould,
plunged forty feet into the deep water of
the channel, and was followed by one of
the passenger cars, which was nearly SUBJ
merged, and the other passenger car was
suspended over the abutment. Our citi-
zens were startled by the escaping steam
from the engine and light or the wood
work which caught fire. Ladders were
soon procured TO reach the wreck. A raft
had lodged against it with men upon it
and Steamboat towing it for which the
draw was opened, had narrow escape.
Fortunately, the only passengers in the
car were three persons, who were riding
over to the city; one being Msster-Me-
chanic of the road. They made their
escape from the submerged car. The En-
gineer, Mr.. Broughton,. and fireman, ].
Aesser, had jumped and clung to the
bridge. They were not much hurt. It is
almost miraculous that out Of
dozen or more men on the train, no
one was seriously injured. As the burn
ing locomotive threatensd to set fire to the
bridge the Aremen carried the hose over
the wreck and across the channel, and
measures were at once taken to relieve the
over hanging car and repair the dra ".
The bridge is used both by the Saratoga
and Central Railroads, and this is the first
accident Of the kind that ever happened
there.

whose name they did not learn, moulder
by trade that the three came TO Pittsburg
on the emigrant train. While on the road
Marschsl and Freck, believing the stranger
possessed large amount of money, con-
ceived the idea of murd dering him, which
was accomplished on their arrival here by
inducing the stranger 10 visit Boyd's Hill,
where Marschal lived. The conflict was
short and decisive, Freck stsbbing him
three times, while Msrschal simultaneously
struck MIN several times on the head with
an iron bar.
Freck also made voluntary statement
IN which he tries to throw discredit on
Marschsrs statement for the purpose of ex-
culpating himself. The confession created
intense excitement throughout the city,
and crowds of citizens obstructed the
streets on the passage of the prisoners to
iail.
