Sinking of the Brig Carrie WIuslow in
New York HarbOr,

i yesterday morning Drought Tue news lnat TIT
brig Carrie Winslow of this port was rur
down and sunk at o'clock yesterday morning
by the ship British America of Windsor, N. S
The accident occurred five miles southeast of the
| lightship off Sandy Hook. The captain, 10
| seph Mozart of PASSPORT, and steward. Thorn.
| as Jones of this. city, were drowned. The
rest of the crew were saved by tug. 1t is
| supposed that the brig is total loss She was
445 tons and built in 1870 at the yard of George
Russell in East Deering. She was owned by
j. S. Winslow & Co., and others of this city.
| She was valued at about $4,000 and the only
| insurance on her was $4,000, which Captain
WEIGH, her former commander, had. Her
cargo was hides and wool from MontevideO to
New York. The wool was owned by Mr..
Moses of Bath and was insured, as,was the re-
mainder of the hides. Capt. Mozart was a
man % years of age, an able navigator, and
his loss will be deeply felt in this vicinity
where he is best known. He leaves wife and
two children. The steward, colored man,
lived on Washington street, where he leaves a
wife.
The latest advices from New York show the
ship to be clearly at fault and the owners of
the brig will libel her at once.
An Associated Press despatch last night
gave the following additional particulars: The
brig was just lacking when the ship struck her
bow just abaft the fore rigging. A large hole
was stove in the brig and all on board except
tine captain and boy jumped to the deck of the
ship. Then seeing that the captain remained
on the brig the other officers and several of
the crew returned. The brig soon began to
sink and the persons on board cambered to
the fore and maintop gallant masts. Capt
Mozart and the second mate, Corbett, clung to
the main top gallant mast, while the first mate,
III. d. Bosh, was on the other. As the vessel
sank Bosh jumped off and swan to sort of
raft formed by the fragments of the briggs
woodwork smashed away by the collision. The
captain and steward were washed away as the
vessel sank and were not seen afterward.
Other persons on the brig SWAN to the raft and
all on the latter were picked up by the Terror,
brought to the city and cared for by the owners
of the vessel. The cargo of the brig was worth
100000.

THE LAST OF THE CoURsE.-The grand Fra
ternity entertainment, which is the last of the
course this winter, will take place Tuesday
evening of next week, and promises to be one
of the most notable and attractive Of the sea-
son. The bare mention of the fact SO strong
a hold have these entertainments on the public,
will be sufficient to fill the hall. The young la
dies are on the Qai vise in happy anticipations
of the delightful evenings pleasure which
awaits them, and we understand are conspiring
together to make this last night outshine in
brilliancy and attractiveness all the rest. The
young men also are "booked" for that evening
and the sold Guard" will be on hand we un-
derstand in goodly numbers. Everything tends
to show that there will be full house and an
occasion to be remembered. A brilliant addi-
ton to the very fine programme which is offer
cred will be the German. MI. Gilbert has very
kindly consented to take charge OF the same,
and some twenty-five or thirty couple will en-
gage in the dance. Urgent requests from many
of our citizens to witness the German, have in
duced the committee to add the same to the
programme We advise our readers to attend
early, as the crowd will be immense. The Ger
man will commence precisely at u clock, and
the dances on the programme will commence
an hour later.
