uNFoRTUNATE.-The company owning the
right for Bray's Refrigerating Process (the
patent of Wilson Bray, Esq, of this city, some
time ago leased on royalty the right to use
it between Texas and northern ports, for pre-
serving beef, &c. The gentlemen having the
lease recently chartered the steamer Francis
Wright for an experimental trip. She left
Philadelphia for Galveston, Texas, on the Sd
OF October, and after taking in large cargo
of beef, started north. Her boilers gave out
some of the tlues having bursted, and in con-
sequence the refiigerating machinery was
stopped for over twelve hours while the heat
from the escaped steam penetrated every part
of the vessel, raising the atmosphere to 80 de-
grees in the refrigerators. As consequence
the meat was found to be spoiled when the
vessel arrived at Philadelphia, last week This
is great disappointment to the gentlemen in
terested. There can be no doubt as to the
favorable result of the trip, had not the acci-
dent occurred. Nothing daunted, the lessees
announce that they intend to make another
trial as soon as suitable steamer can be pro-
cured.

ACCIDENT AND DEATH.--On Monday morn
ing three boys from Trenton got on the up
coal train without permission and rode up as
far as Moore's Station when they attempted
to get off. One of them, about 16 years of
age, named John Closson. and residing in Cal
houn street, was caught by the train as he at
tempted to jump off, the wheels passing over
both of his legs. One leg was cut off near the
thigh and the other above the ankle. He was
picked up by the train men and brought to
this city, and afterward taken to Trenton in a
special car, accompanied by Dr. S. Lilly and
A. G. Davis, Esq, Train Master. DR.. Rogers,
OF Trenton, was called, and was assisted by
DIR. L. Dir. Lilly amputated the right leg
above the knee, but as the boy seemed to be
sinking, further operations were deferred, and
at four O'Clock in the afternoon he died
We trust that the boys in our city will take
warning from this. We often see them at
tempting to catch hold of the cars as they pass
slowly along, and sometimes notice them
jumping ON board for ride. They do this
at the risk of their life.

SAVINGS BANK.-Notice is given of applica-
tion to the Legislature for Savings Bank at
Frenchtown, with capital of $100, 900.
What has become of the Lambertville Saw
ings Bank? Three or four years ago applica-
tion was made to the Legislature for a charter,
and our impression is that it was granted. If
so, no effort has been made to put it into
operation. Such bank would be of advan-
tage to numbers whose savings are small, and
to many who would thereby be induced to be-
gin to lay up for rainy day."

FRAUD.-The Frenchtown Press says that
a few days ago representative of the Empire
State stopped at the American Hotel, " in

Havanas for sale. Upon being informed that
this brand was not much called forin this sec
ton, he pleaded "dead broke - and must sell.
The landlord was invited to test a sample,
which he did, and found it fully up to recon-
mendations. He took few, but found that
the Empire man had got the sample from the
wrong box. 1

FIRE.-A slight fire occurred in the Cotton
Factory in this city on last Friday afternoon.
It originated from hot journal. As soon as
it was discovered, the employees turned a
stream of water upon it, and it was put out
quickly. No damage was done. Our fremen
and those of New Hope were out promptly.

basement to large tank in the tower of the
fourth floor of the building, and on each floor
hose are attached to the pipe, through which
water is forced to any part of the rooms.

number of hands employed in the shops of the
Company in this city would be materially re-
duced as that Company decided to use the
shops only for repairs, and not for making new
locomotives, etc, as had been done by the
B. d. r. R. Co., in addition to repairs. We
are informed however, that a larger number
of hands are now employed than ever before j;
and, doubtless, with the increasing business
of the road the necessary repairs will require
the force to be still further augmented from

FIRE.--A great commotion, says the Repatb-

O'Clock on Monday morning, the 18th inst, in
Pennington, by the discovery of fire in the
cigar store of John Vonah, a few doors south
of the corner of Mine street. The discoverers,
by dint of crying fire " and violently ringing
the Court House BELL soon had half the popu-
lation of the place on the spot, anxious to as
sist in quelling the conhagration. This had
been done, however, before the arrival of the
multitude, by the timely application of a few
pailfuls of water The fire seems to have
started between the ceiling and the flooring,
near the chimney, but as there had been no
fire in the stove since Saturday night, its ori-
gin is something of a mystery. Had it re-
manned undiscovered few minutes longer a
serious confagration would have resulted, but
as it was the damage was slight.
