MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
OF AN OLD CITIZEN.

It is our painful duty to add the name of
Michael Egan, Esq, to the long list Of those
of our old citizens, who during the last twelve
months, have either disappeared unaccount-
ably, or have at once put an end to their
troubles and their lives by their own hands.
It has been his habit for some time past to
pay almost daily visits to some of his friends
in the city. These visits having ceased since
the 29th ult, inquiry was recently made at
his lodgings. 564 Burgundy street, when his
la6dlady stated that she had not seen him
since the morning Of that day
It is apprehended, at length, that while
walking on the levee, his custom during both
day and night, he has fallen into the river and
was drowned. 1t is to be hoped that the
troubles aud disappointments of life, of
which he has latterIy had more than the
usual share, have not driven him to self
destruction.
Mr.. Egan was native of Keenah, County
Longford, Ireland, aged from 65 to 70 years.
He has been resident Of this city for over
torty-fiye years, during which time he has
filed many official trusts, among others, those
Of City Marshal, Inspector Of the Customs,
and Deputy United States Marshal.
He was the friend and associate of notable
men in by-gone times, sucn as Denis Prieur,
had q very wide circle of friends, by whom he
was justly regarded as an honorable and intel
ligent man.

There is wag in our composing room who
sometimes INDUCES in typographical humor
at the expense of his contreres Of the editorial
staff. His latest achievement in that line was
to make us say Of the natives Of Caifraria that
they have long been considered by 'etymolo-
gists' and travellers as the most intelligent of
all the native tribes Of Africa. OF course this
spelling match, when the word "ethnolo-
gists. which is the one we used, might pos
sibly have compelled him to take a back seat.

DIRECT POSTAL CONTAMINATION WITH ScoT-
LAND.-'With the exception Of Scotland, there
is mail sent to every European country having
direct steam communication with New York.
There is an English mail, an Irish mail, Ger
man mail and French mail, but hitherto Scot
land has been left out in the cold. This neglect
has been source Of much delay, and some in
convenience to the numerous houses in this
country having business relations with Glasgow
and other Scottish cities. The great want will
not be felt much longer. Mails for Scotland will
soon be sent via the Anchor Line direct to
Glasgow. The new arrangement Will come into
effect on the Sd Of April, and be continued regu-
larry every Saturday thereafter. That the Scot
fish mail service will be performed with care,
punctuality and dispatch, there can be no doubt.
The position which the Anchor Line vessels
have taken among the numerous ships leaving
this port fully warrants in the belief, that in
every essential quality the mail service to Glas-
gov will be conducted in most satisfactory man
ner We understand that during the stormy
weather in January last the Anchor Line made
better average time to this port than was made
by any other steamers crossing the Atlantic. We
trust that all our readers having. correspondence
with their AIN native land,' willy take care that
the ii g. trip be truly hanseled in style worthy
Of Scotland and her leahearted sons in America

THE PARISH PRISON.

The Parish Prison has lately been under
going repairs on the inside, and has been
treated TO new coat of paint, making the
black doors and grating as black again, and
making the white walls stare out harder than
ever over the somber border that has taken
an additional gloom.
The prisoners performed the work and
they entered into it with spirit. It was o re-
lief, this work, from the dreary monotony Of
prison life, and though the doors are black
and the walls do stare out, and the border is
gloomy, there is about them look of new
ness and freshness that well replaces the
Respondent aud dilapidated air that formerly
hung around them.
The prisoners were allowed to choose and
letter on the walls over the doors leading to
the several galleries, and over their cells such
inscriptions as they pleased, and many Of
these are decidedly original and indicative of
reckless spirit that laughs at misfortune
Immediately in front Of the gate, looking
down on all who enter, is, sHave come to
this?" and just below, "Welcome to Pc
grams Hotel
Up stairs is Criminal Avenue" on which
is situated the "Charity Hospital, ''Sam's
Restaurant" and the ''City Hotel.
Just eff Criminal Avenue on ore of the
galleries, is the condemned cell; it is occu-
pied. Over it is =" Have one kind thought for
me" aud on one Of the walls on the inside,
" Mother I've come home to die"
The black border to the walks is topped
with a painted railing, such as is frequently
seen around graves.
The condemned man seemed to be proud of
his quarters and to enjoy his own conceit in
the lettering and the railing immensely.
The second condemned cell is inscribed,
''Let EN- rest IN Peace"
The 'Republican Hotel" 'Home for the
Unfortunates. the Singing Room" and
ozark Dungeon are all On the third floor,
as is also the ''Dryades Street Den."
The prison is in the best order and is clean
and neat throughout. It's condition reflects
great credit upon Capt Pegram and his
deputies.

Had I space and time, as l have the will, l

here in the South it is as different as day and

A BROKEN HEART.

JOHN coNRoY's SUDDEN DEATH-wAs IT
CAUSED By VIOLENCE?
Yesterday afternoon death occurred In the
FIRST ward which was thought to be the result OF
violence; but q subsequent investigation gave the
case q direrent cooring. 1t appears that John
Conroy. fortysix years OF age, and born in Ireland
who lived at No. 20 Cherry street, had q little
skirmish with Edward jennings, at the corner OF
Bridge and Whitehall streets, during which Con.
roy, as is alleged, made a pass at jennings with
his fist, but the latter being the most powerful OF
the two refused to quarrel with Conroy, as he was
In poor health, and walked away to avoid trouble.
Deceased followed him, but returned in fifteen
minutes afterward, with his coat his arm and
apparently IN good splrits having no marks Of
violence upon him.
William HARNESS, of No. % Front street. Brook.
Ign, soon afterward heard little girl remark that
"a man was having a it around tire cornern and,
going to see who 1t was, found that 1t was his
friend Conroy. The latter was taken up and con-
veyed to porter house. He was able to con-
verse; ana said nothing about being injured. He
did remark to Mr.. Hardness, however, that his
heart was broken and that he was dying, an d.,
alter making some remark about his children, be-
came unconscious and soon after expired.
The First precinct police, believing 1t to be a
case Of homicide, arrested Jennings and took him
to the station house. Coroner Kessler gave per-
late residence, No. 20 Cherry street where Dr.
Marsh will make q post mortem examination. It
Is believed that deceased was suffering from some
organic disease, which was accelerated by the ex-
element under which he was labOring and caused
death. jennings who lives at No. lis Union ave.
further examination. Deceased has left a widow
and i've children.

ERIE ACCIDENTS.

Nearly all the Erie Railway trains are running
irregularly IN consequence OF the cold weather,
and number OF accidents have occurred from
the same cause. SOME twenty or thirty locomo-
tves nave been laid up for repairs in consequence
OF the recent cold snap.
Day before yesterday connecting rod broke on
an engine attached TO Conductor LGpton's Pater-
son train, when gong at full speed near Ruther-
furd Park. The broken end OF the rod new around
and smashed TO atoms that side OF the cab. Fire.
man Wannamaker had just left his seat when the
accident occurred; otherwise ne would have
met an instant and horrible death.
About a,e O'Clock this morning, when No. 10
express freight train was nearing kldgewOOd,
several cars accidentally became uncoupled, with
out the fact being noticed by the engineer. The
train stopped at kidgewood as usual. All uncon-
released his hold OF the lever ana looked out OF
the window. AT that instant the cars W hich had
been dropped arrived and struck the train with
great force. Every one standing up on the en-
glne or on the platforms was thrown down. A
coal car and Two box cars were smashed into
1raQments,-an with their contents, piled up on
the track. brakeman named Venus Tyler, aged
about eighteen years. was caught between two Of
the cars and crushed so badly that he soon Alter
ward died.
There came near being another collision shortly
receipt OF the ne VS. OF the disaster started Tor the
spot, and the engine Of the wrecked train. which
had started Tor Paterson instead OF switching on
to wait for tue wrecker. Fortunately, however
the engineers succeeded in stopping their re.
spectlve locomotives in time.
