ANOTHER sHnp AsHohE.-Yerlly, 'nefe
seems to be no end to marlne u,9"9'o.
mon our coast. On the first OF septem-
,.s- orotber yessel-the British bark
Ezrs-from Liverpool, bound to Balti-
more. went ashore on the north enc OF
uoav,s ysland. Messrs Baker, wreckers,
raceiyed letter from the Island on oatar.
d.y which contained brief statement OF
the disaster. The weather was very heavy
when the bark stranded, and the Captain,
h;s wife. and first mate, we understand
,ror. drowned In attempting to reach the
.ho,e in a small boat. There appears to
he notbieg positively authentic, as yet,
however, as to the loss of life and condi
ton of the ship. We shall probably to-
day hear the full particulars. The Ezra
left this port about four months ago. wner'
she was loaded by WIN. D. Reynolds q
Brother, for Liverpool. She was on her
return trip, bound to Baltimore with an
assorted cargo. The Baker Brothers ois-
patched, with their usualpromptness' 'hef
urack;np vessels to her assistance.
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
siucs the above ives in type we gain
some fewsadditional particulars. 1t appears
there were six persons drowned in attempt
ing to reach the shore from two boats, each
Of which swamped in the breakers.
Captain Hairless, his wife, the chief mate
and two seamep, Peter Hanson and Peter
Williamson, and boy, whose name we
could not learn were the psrties who lost
their lives. The balance of the two boats
crews eight in number, succeeded in reachs
ing the shore. i.
There was heavy sea on at the time OF
the disaster, but no wind, the ship was
making but four or five knots. The disas-
ter took place last Tuesday night, at IL
o'clock. Orders had been given to throw
the lead at tw slve, but she grounded before
that heur arrived. 1t was the second
mates watch, but he having been taken
sick had gone below, leaving the watch IN
charge Of seaman with instructions to call
the captain if necessary. She was drlited
southerly beyond thei" calculations, ana
struck on the outer bar of Body's Island.
The loss of life took place in endeavoring to
cross over the breakers, which ran very
high at the time The crew lost everything
thew had, and the ship will likely be
total loss.

SUDDEN DEATH.-A man, named Mat.
Peterson, stew ard of the pilot boat Slicer,
died, very suddenly on Saturday morning
whilst engaged in getting breakfast for
the crew. A jury of inquest was held over
the; body, and a verdict returned that the
deceased came to his death from an affec-
ton of the heart.
Tbs Foe SATURDAY MORNING. The fog
on Saturday NOR ming was one of the heav-
Test and densest we ever saw in this section.
The steamer George Leary did not reach
her wharf, from Baltimore, until O'Clock
thereby delaying the trains on the Peters
burg and Seaboard roads.
1t also interferred with the arrangements
of the ferry boats. For the time being, it
knocked their regular-trip system in the
head, and sorely Inconvenience the large
number Of people who cross from either
side about that time in the morning. One
of them collided with schooner when ems
tering the slip on this side of the screek,
but fortunately, no damage was sustained
by either. The steamer John Sylvester,
however, was not SO fortunate; she collided
while crossing the river, with the schooner
Mary R. Hickman. carrying away the lat
ter's jibboom, and otherwise injuring her.
The Sylvester had the aiterguard of her
promenade deck carried away; and her
wheelhouse Stove in She was detained
several hours by the accident. Considering
the thickness of the fog, and the number of
steamers and vessels in our harbor at the
time, it is rather surprising that more &C.
cidents had not occurred.

We have been requested to call the atten-

cuous discharging Of firearms within the
limits of the corporation. The Board of
Police Of the town some time ago passed an
ordinance relative to this, and we have no
recollection Of the repeal of this ordinance.
1t has never been enforced since the
war, but we hope that now, our au-
thorities will take the matter in hand
before some serious accident happens. We
also call their attention to the hitching of
horses on the sidewalks which also is in
direct opposition to one of the town ord
finances. We frequently see ladies have to
take the middle of the street, to avoid COM
ing in contact with some horse hitched on
the ~banquette. Their comforts and pleas
ures, above all others, should be looked to
We hope that the necessary steps will be
taken by the authorities, to do away with
these public nuisances.
