THE RIVER.
Accidents and Incidents on IT Yesterday.



Yesterday morning, about 8 O'Clock. as
thes steamer Texas was making her land
ing, a young lady and gentleman, who
carriage to transport them to their hotel.
ran down the stairs and were about to
jump from the guards to the wharfboat
when h mate requested them to wait
until the gsng-plank was showed out.
The lady Immediately fell back and took
her stand near the end of the staging.
The hands rushing forward to shove out
this "pieee of furniture" she took a step
Or two backward, and, in doing so, over
stepped the guard and dropped into the
river. Luckily, the boat was loaded
down, and almost as soon as she struck
the water two or three stalwart deekhands
were at the gunwales looking for her. As
soon as she made her appearance after her
"souse" in the muddy deep, she was
seized and dragged on board, where all
due attention was paid her until she thor
oughly recovered from the "ducking"
and the fright.
About eleven o'clock yesterday
morning a negro deck hand, while
the steamer Grand Era was making a
landing, walked overheard and dis
appeared in theturbid waters of the Miss
issippi. The Robert Burns was lying close
by, and it is supposed that he was drown
ed under her bottom. The name of the
unfortunate negro is unknown.
CASE.
Another distressing casualty occurred
about foul O'Clock in the afternoon, above
the mouth of Wolf river-two little lads
named Henry Marsh and Edward Pardue
teing engulfed in the turbid flood.
These lads, along with James Pardue and
George Finley, (the former a brother of
Edward Pardue who was lOst) had been
fishing in the bend and having their guns
along, during the afternoon left their boat
and went into the woods squirrel hunting.
On returning to the landing where they
had tied their skif they found
hat it had either got adrift or
had been stolen. After looking for
II a few minutes, the boys started
for town, following the bank of the river
on their way. Henry Marsh and Ed. Par
due carried the fishing poles, and in a
spirit Of wsntonness or bravado, walked
on the edge ofthe crumbling bank. sound
ing the depth OF the water with their
poles. About a mile above the mouth of
Wolf river the two lads got into q scuf1e
fun" about a fishing-cOrk, and while
they were wrestling the bank slid from
under their feet and they were precipita-
ted into the river. The other lads were
much frightened to render them anv
assistance, and they were carried down
with the current, never to be seen again.
Young Marsh was about thirteen years
old, and was a very promising lad. His
father is a ~bricklayer, and is at present
of the city. Ed. Pardue was about the
same are. His parents live in Fort Pick
ering. and are poor but very respectable
people.
