FATAL OccuRRRScR.-Anu unfortunate affair
occurred in Fifth street, between Tatnall
and West, in this city, on Saturdayaflernoon
last, between three and -four o'clock, by
which one little boy named James Gallagher
aged years, was almost instantly Killed
and his brother William aged years badly
injured. They are sons of Con. Gallagher,
and their parents reside at pol West Fifth
street. IL appears that the boys were de
scending the hill on a sled, and run beneath
tue wheels Of a wagon loaded with hay.
The wheels passed over the body Of James,
lacerating it in q horrible manner, and caus,
ing death in few moments. William was
seriously injured, though some hopes are
entertained OF his recovery. They wore
taken home and DR.. Webster called in who
attended to the wants of the sufferer. No
blame is attached TO the driver, as he was
not aware Of the presence of the boys, until
after the accident occurred Parents should
exercise more care, and not permit their
children to sled in eur city tEoroughlares.
EXCELLENT IKK.-Mr. R. l.. Pearson, corner
Of Fifteenth and Market Streets, in this
| city, has commenced the manufacture OF
! Writing Ink, which he sells on the most
reasonable terms. We have tried it. and
1 have no hesitaRcy in pronouncing it an ex-
cellent article. 1t will be found to be lust
what is seeded in the Counting House,
School room, and by those who have occasion
to use much of it. 1t is indelble, and NAV
also be employed in marking clothing. We
look upon it as supplying a deficiency in
these respects which has long existed, and
it will doubtless soon take the place in the
market, Of the numerous compounds which
have been disposed NJ for ink, but really
have no claim 10 the title.
