PAINFUL AcCIDENT.-A very painful
accident occurred yesterday afternoon at
the residence of John FL. Knowles, Esq,
corner of First and Canal streets, by which
one of the sons Of that gentleman came
very near losing his life. It seems that the
youth while ascending ladder missed his
footing, and falling from high elevation
to the pavement below, fractured one of
his thighs. His face was also severely
bruised. The injuries, though painful, are
not necessarily OF a serious nature.

HUNT FOR AN ITEM.-We paid a fly-
ing visit to Church Hill this morning in
search of an item. Not being able to find
one On the level, after meandering for some
time, almost hopeless, we struck an i'm
mense cavity in the earth which, upon in
quiry, proved to be shaft No. 3 of the
tunnel. We were getting desperate, and
almost made up our mind to enter the
bowels of the earth in search of the object
we so much craved. We hesitated a few
moments fortunate hesitation that y when
we were informed that it was only 103 feet
deep, and that the room below was aTched
to the distance Of thirteen feet. Not RELISH
ing the idea of burial in a hole of such
dimensions we wiped our weeping eyes and
left. We had only proceeded short dis
tance when we saw another hole in the
ground. Our courage was fast forsaking
us, for we feared that we might stumble
into one before we were aware of it, and
then some brother quill-driver would
make a tirst-class item Of us. How we
longed to be landed at the base Of the hill
in safety. Casting our eyes around, they
lighted upon the countenance of our old
friend John Kinder. We greeted him
cordially, and were informed by him that
he was boss of that hole. We asked its
name, and were informed that it was shaft
No. of the tunnel. We received press
ing invitation to accompany him below,
and having all confidence in a man that
had spent many years of his life under
ground, and finding that it was only G5 feet
deep, we screwed up our courage to fight
ing pitch, threw off our coat and hat,
jumped into the bucket and were soon in
the land of darkness. Our faithful friend
handed us a miners lamp with which to
steer our course, but we could not be pre-
vailed upon to move unless he took the
lead, which he kindly consented to
do, for which we shall ever thank him.
As we proceeded he explained the many
sights that were presented to our view. We
were so excited that we utterly failed to.
take in what we saw. The place must be
seen to be appreciated.
Being advised by signal from above
that the bucket was about to begin its up
ward Eight, we grappled it with might and
main and were soon landed on terra frmo
again, where we found our friend who had
accompanied US to the hill quietly seated
on a log. We endeayored to explain to
him what we had seen while below. His
excuse for not vending his way downward
was that he did not wish to miss the object
Of our search, an item, had we failed to
put IN our appearance. He wasn't afraid
to go down, oh, no

Searching for the Bodies of the Victims of the
s.Oceanusn Disaster-One Lion Cub Found

Searching for the Bodies of the Victims of the
"oeeanus" Disaster-0ne Lion Cub Found
st. Louis, April 19.-Captain Thomas
W. Rea, who left on Monday to recover
the victims of the "Oceanus' disaster, has
returned. Six men dragged the river from
the point where the "Oceanus" exploded
to the place where she sunk, three
miles below, but found no bo.
dies. They also explored the Missouri
and Illinois banks of the river as far down
as Cairo, but the only thing they. found
was the body of one lion cub belonging to
a menagerie that was on board the steamer.
The river has risen seven feet since the ex-
plosion, but the search will be continued.
1t is believed that the bodies will float as
soon as the water is quite still. Owing to
the back water from the Ohio river all that
do rise can be easily secured.
