ACCIDENT on THE RIvER.-As the
Gipsey was proceeding up the river on
Tuesday night, she was met in the
neighbOrhood of Bakers Island, be-
tween this city and Pittsburgh, about
II O'Clock, by the Argosy coming down.
From some cause or other the latter
boat ran across the river towards the
Gipsey, and struck one of the barges
which she had in tow, sinking it in an
instant. The shock aroused all hands
on the Gipsey. Had the Gipsey been
struck she would probably have been
sunk i'll deep water.

THE WoNAS, Mrs. MINSIE NUGENT,
who was arrested recently for the muir
der of her child at Packers Hotel, has
almost entirely recovered from the
effects OF the opium which she took in
her efforts to commit suicide after the
fatal deed. She has manifested no re-
! morse for her crime, and has declined
10 give any Information to those visiting
her at the Jail in regard to it. On Sun
day last she was called on by n charita-
BILE young lady, who read to her few
chapters in the Bible. The unfortunate
woman manifested gratitude for tint
kindness shown her.
\ report was floating about the
streets short time since to the effect
that her husband had been engaged in
the murder of man whose BODY
minus the head, was found, few
weeks ago, floating in the Ohio river at
Hockingport, Ohio, n short distance be-
low Parkersburg. But, so far as we
have been able TO learn, it was entirely
without foundation.
