1t was payday yesterday on the

We learn that quite serious and
perhaps fatal accident occurred to one
of the passengers on the Mohongo on
her last trip down from San Francisco.
A young lady, Miss Lizzie Cozzins,
was suffering with tooth-ache, and
applied to priest who chanced to be
on board for remedy. The Reverend
Father gave her phial of laudanum,
with instructions to place drop upon
the aching tooth; but, disregarding
the advice, she took swallow of the
liquid. The drug soon took effect and
threw the lady into profound sleep.
The passengers became alarmed, and
did all in their power to resuscitate
her, keeping her walking about the
deck all of Sunday night. In the
morning she was apparently much
better; but before our informent left
the steamer, had taken a relapse and
was in quite critical condition.
