THE RIVER BOTTOM OUT.

A few weeks ago colored man named Ste
venson was drowned at our wharf, falling
into the river on the outside Of the wharfboat
and never re-appcaring upon the surface OF
the water. Yesterday, colored man named
Wesley fell from the steamer Bee, lying at
the same point in the river, and like Steven
son, went down to rise no more. Two other
persons having been drowned at the same
place, during the past two or three years, n
superstition has taken root in the minds Of
the negroes cognizant Of the facts, that the
riverthere is no. only bottomless, but possessed
of the devil. They urge that TO pass beneath
the surface of the water there is death, inev-
table, rs there is downward suction that
draws the body down, down. to measureless
depths despite the utmost efforts OF the vic
tim. The ignorant creatures, harboring this
dread Of the place, give it a wide
berth, night or day.

The exciting cause Of all this, was the inn
