contains the following melancholy an
nouncement;
We regret to learn that the accident to
Captain Frank Bachelors little daugh-
ter at Sedamsville, resulted in her death
on Tuesday evening. Cut OF suddenly,
and while the rich promises of youth were
held out to the devoted parents, the blow
of trial in the ordinary experiences of life
with the loss OF a darling child,
and t all the more severe when unlocked
for. Captain Bachelors daugher was the
herself to every friend and visitor of the
family. Her death causes a deep gloom,
which the sympathy and the compliance
of friends can badly hope TO remove, but
they are offered, nevertheless.
In getting off the Sedamville cars the
evening previous, she was thrown under

bright, intelligent girl. the idol OF her fam
lily and friends. We deeply sympathize
with our friends, Capt. Frank and his ex-
cellent lady.

feet 7 inches water in the canal in the
morning by the mark. Eur1ng the pre-

head of the falls, and six inches at Port
land. This is a very considerable decline
on the prevailing low stage of water, and
we NAV expect trouble among the boats
alongt the Lower Ohio in working over the
bars.
