A DREADFUL ACCIDENT OCCURRED a few
miles below Toledo, Ohio, last week.
There has been skiff-ferry running be-
tween Manhattan and the iron works on
the opposite side of the river. At about 4
o'clock on Monday afternoon four women,
three men and boy started from Manhat-
tan, across the river. The boat also con-
tanned meat, flour, and groceries. 1t was
loaded down to within few inches of the
dipping point, yet it was not deemed I'M
safe. When the boat reached the east chan
mel of the river, the waves were running
high, and it filled with water. The man
having charge Of the boat, MIR. R. Tennant,
of Manhattan, Ellen L. Minis and jean
neatte Allen. of Toledo, were drowned.
Mr.. G. W Allen, the uncle Of Jeanette,
was standing on the shore, about Is rods
distant, when the boat swamped, and Ten
nant shouted to him for assistance. jean
nette clung to Mr.. TeDnant. and Mr.. Allen
heard him tell her to let go and he could
save her, but in her fright she would not
let go her grasp, and the two went down
together.

The Heir to the Italian Throne.

Prince Humbert, who will succeed Victor
Emmanuel as King of Italy, is a young
man.of about twenty-four years of age. He
had the misfortune to lose his mother dur
ing his early childhood, and has since been
brought up by the ladies of King Victor's
harem. AS might have been expected, he
has shown in his conduct, since his arrival
at years of indiscretion, the influence of his
early associates and of his fathers peculiar
example. Since his marriage, which took
place not many months ago, he has been
somewhat more discreet in the pursuit of
his pleasures, but he is by no means a nice
young man. Indeed, were it notfor the fact
that he has proved his courage on the field of
battle, he might be truthfully called an
Italian Albert Edward. Like his father, he
has never shown any Indication of talent,
and, unlike him, he does not appear to
possess the bluff, soidierly honesty that
won for the King his once popular sobri-
Quet of the Re GuldntuOmO. The Italian
people will not find it easy to keep alive
the fiction of admiration and respect for so
worthless a prince as Humbert is under
stood to be; and the Mazzinians will doubt
less endeavor to make the monarchy share
the unpopularity of the monarch. There
is, however, peculiar feature in the rela-
l1OnS OF II1uCS Iluu1D0Gb Will luS IGdlldu
radical, which may not be without its
influence upon his future as King of Italy.
In common with his younger brother,
Prince Amadeo, he has always professed a
warm personal affection for Garibaldi. If
his relations with the great democratic sol
der still remain as cordial as they formerly
were, Garibaldi may be able to rally his
followers to the support of the monarchy.
The fate of King Humbert may yet be de-
cided by the rheumatic and feeble old
guerrilla captain.

A SINGULAR INCIDENT. In January last,
Capt. Hiram Mari, fisherman living at
Southport, Me-, started from his home to
cross the bay to Georgetown. While maxi
ing the trip in his saiIboat he was lost, but
his body was not found, though the shores
were searched for many days. Some months
subsequently the widow of Capt Mari ape
piled to a person for the payment of
promissory note OF fifty dollars, which he
had against him at the time he was drown
ed. The debtor ayerred he had paid the
note, and refused to acknowledge that he
was indebted to the estate. AS the note
itself was in the pocket of Capt. Marr when
he was lost, no conclusive evidence could
be produced that it had not been paid,
But during the heavy gale of last Septem-
Der the body of Marr was washed ashore
at Long Beach, and In the clothing was
found wallet containing the note. The
maker of the note could no longer evade
paying it.

HUMAN BODIES TURNED TO STONE.
The Corpse of Mrs. Willis Cowling af-
ter Fifteen Years Interment-The
PetrifactfOn of Capt. Cady.


To the Editor of the Sun:
SIR: The recent affirmation of Professor
Fl. a. Ward, of the Rochester N. "
University, ''that there is no single in
stance on record of fossil or petrifed
flesh, is strangely subversive of the truth
in many well authenticated cases, recorded
IN the newspaper presses, and well remem-
bered to this day by hundreds of the most
intelligent and reputable citizens resident
where the discovery of these phenomena
took place.
The instance recently furnished you from
Canestota, N. Y, of the petrifaction of the
body of Capt Cady, san old and well
known resident of the town of Sullivan,
reyiyes and reclothes with all the freshness
and vigor of yesterdays incident, the ex-
humation of the body OF Mrs. Willis Cowl-
ing for re-interment in the new cemetery
just erected and completed in the city of
Richmond, Va, thirty-fye years ago.
The deceased lady, the wife of one of the
largest manufacturers of that city, was
buried in the grounds attached to the
Methodist Episcopal Church. After the
lapse of several years Mr.. Cowling, in the
interim having married again and the sec
ond wife dying, determined to bury both
wives in the new cemetery, and had the
body of the first wife exhumed. The unu-
sual weight of the coffin, eXachng the torce
and power of several men to removeit, and
the extraordinary preservation of the wood
of which it was manufactured, induced the
friends present to investigate the astound-
ing phenomena, and with that sole object
in view, opened the coffin, when, to the
utter amazement of every beholder, the
body was found to be petrifed in it entirety
daguerreotyping not only the general con-
tour OF the face, but lining each individual
feature with such perfect accuracy as to be
easily and distinctly recognizable by every
friend present, notwithstanding the inter
vention of fifteen years between the burial
of the body and its exhumation.

Cold has come upon US suddenly, sealing up the
open pores, and sealing IN as it were, any seeds of

but which remained undeveloped so long as the
waste matter of the body and all acid and unwhole-

A tonic. aperient and Alternative medicine is now
needed to invgorate the vital powers depressed by
low temperature; to stimulate and purify the secre-
tions, and to fit the body to endure, without ncon-
venence, pain or danger, the sudden climatic change
which ushers in the winter.
The only preparation which will fully meet this
almost universal need and will thoroughly and
safely perform the important work, is the leading
tonic AMI Alternative of the age, HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS.
This popular specific improves the appetite, in
vigorates the digestive organs regulates the flow OF
bile enriches the blood, calms the nerves. relieves
constipation, promotes superficial circulation and

the BITTERS are potent medicine, they contain
no nauseating element.
