A WARNING TO BoYs.-Yesterday after
noon, as one OF the ferry boats at the foot Of
Federal street was approaching the slip, couple
was fastened attempted to Jump ashore. One OF
them succeeded but the other tell, and before
he could get up his leg was caught between the
boat and the slip, and crushed in a shocking
manner. Dr. Cullen dressed the wound and
the lad was then sent to the Hospital. The fire.
quency Of such accidents ought to serve as a
warning to BOYS in thus exposing themselves to
danger. Within few months past several lads
have been manned for life by their recklessness
in jumping on cars while in motion, or from the
ferry boats before they are properly secured to
the slips.

this steamer, which was sunk, below Trenton, on
Saturday afternoon will be successfully raised

be able to resume her trips again in a short
time. The work of raising the sunken steamer
is rapidly progressing, and the engines from
Camden, which went up to her on Sunday, are
doing excellent service,
