SU1cmE.-A colored man named James
h,Dgold, residing at Flourtown. MONTGOMERY
county, committed suicide few days since, by
cutting his throat with a razor. 1t is stated that
RnEold visited Philadelphia, and while IN the
city Joined the colOred Masons. Soon alter
becoming a Mason he was told that he had,
while asleep, divulged the secrets OF the associa
ton, and that his fellow-members in the city
would kill HIM as soon as they heard OF It,.
This statement proved upon his mind 10 such a
Decree that he fancied that persons we're after
lm to take his lite, and while in this condition
cut his throat, in the presence OF the family of
Mr.. John DLger al Flourtown.
MALICIoUs.-Within the past few days
two valuable paint ngs, belonging to Mr.. William
S. Stewart, which were hanging in the ladies'
diDing.IoOm at the Continental Hotel, were
mutilated by some person unknown. Mr..
Stewart Is a boarder at the hotel, and the
paintings we're placed in the ladies' dining
loom because Of want of space in his IN
apartments. They are difficult to replace; but
It is believed that The mutilations, which were
done with knife, are not such as to render
them valueless.

The query whether they endorse the conduct of
the Chief Engineer; nor had he received any
answer from the President of the Bog rd to the

gHE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE della
wARE.-The CoroLer's inquest in the case of JOB
RulOn. Jr., the lad drowned In the Delaware
was concluded. yesterday. The father of the
lad, and gentleman who was on the same boat
at the time, testified that they made an effort to
AVOID the steamboat, and denied that the acci-
dent was due 10 their own carelessness. They
admitted that the saIlbOat had been run
aground two or three times before the collision,
but alleged that this was owing to the tide.
Witnesses who were on the steamboat testified
that the accident was due to those in the sail
boat, as they had time TO get out OF the way;
that the engine OF the steamboat was stopped
and then reversed before the collision, and that
every effort was made TO save the parties the
father being asked 10 pass his son on board the
steamboat but owing to the confusion or loss of
presence OF mind, did not do so. The Iury ren
dered a verdict that Job Rulon, Jr., came to
his death by drowning, resulting from collision
between sallboat which he was in and the
steamboat Eclipse.
