At half-pa5t five O'Clock on the morning of the
2lst inst. the caisson leading to the entrance
Of the Hudson river tunnel, constructed at Six
tccnth street, Jersey City caycd in, carrying
with il an immense quantity Of earth and allow
ing the tunnel to completely fill with water
IWcnty-thrce men lost their lives, while eight
had an almost miraculous escape. The night
gang tof 30 men, including Assistant Superin-
tendcnt Edwards and two fmemcn entered the
shaft ut midnight, the hours Of work for tins
gang being from Il to s. The depth of the
shaft is 80 feet and while most of the men
were employed at the bottom of the shUft,
about onc-thirdo of the gang was engaged on the
blick wall Of the arch. % feet higher. il was
the latter squad, all brick layers, that escaped.
except two. The main arch of the tunnel runs
ont from the shaft distance Of about thirty
feet, when 1t opens into two distinct arches that
are t. form the tunnel. Through some ncgli-
gencc Of the men it is supposed the air lock was
not properly adjusted. When the process OF
shifting commenced the brick wall connecting
the two arches gave way and the water rushed
into the cave. The superintendent thinks the
compressed air in the tunnel. which was calcu-
lated to aid III supporting the roof, must have
escaped through the shift He put a gang
of 100 men 10 work who will make new pas
sage to the tunnel, but they were not expected to
accomplish the task IN less than three DAYS.

The Virqinian Parsons Wiu,
[Frcm the Boston Advertiser.


One hundred and twenty-five wears
ago this part of the state was a wilder
ness, and its scattered inhabitants fought
hand to hand with starvation and the IN
dams. A good story of those days is
told of Parson Cummings.
In the early times people when attack
ed fled to the stockades. 1t was occa-
slonally necessary to make sorties to the
clearlngs for provisions In one of these
excursions the parson, fat, portly, and
wearing his big wig, formed a conspicu-
Gus object, and was pursued by the in
dams. In lodging through the under
growth, he left his wig suspended on a
bramble. Seeing it in hot pursuit the
indian made a sudden Bound and grasp
ed it, taking it for the parsons head;
but, not finding his head there, he, with
a violent gesture of angry disappoint-
ment, threw it to the ground, exclaim;
ing, ID le.' and gave up the chase,
the porson, in the meantime, laying con
cealed within few feet of the spot.

IfTpnl Rome Letter.
AS for meat, the Italian laborer and
workman have ceased to dream of even
tasting it again, excepting on very rare
festivals. 1t is one Of the sores OF mod
ern Italy that meat has become, through
It's DEAFNESS, the exclusive food of the
rich. And yet the pellegra, or Indian
corn disease, would disappear if meat
were within the reach Of the laboring
classes. The hospitals would not then
be SO full, and there would be more
hands to work, and less misery every
where, and the nation itself would bene-
fit by the health of It's workers. If rab
bits could only live there the poor might
be able to vary this food, but not even
that can be had. And in England. the
poor are, in some places, paid to kill
the rabbits, which are quite a plague in
their way there, whilst here they would
be welcome strangers In any case the
poor of Italy are the poorest poor that
we can we'll imagine, and they are also
the most patient and accomplishing
poor II they could have but bread
every day they would think themselves
rich.

A Distressing Suicide.

Arnold Fried, lad of fourteen, having
been recently expelled from the Gynasia
of Fuenfkirch at Baia for dissipated and
immoral conduct, committed suicide by
hanging himself to a tree Upon his
corpse was found the following remarka-
bic letter, addressed to his parents
1.-The tortures of Tantalus were as
naught in comparison to those [ now
suffer. In my minds eye / see you
melted to tears and stricken own by the
terrible blow | am about to inhict upon
YOU; and yet / cannot do otherwise than
execute my resolve. Driven from school
| dare not again look you in the face, for
| should read my shame III yourglances.
Deeply beloved parents, be consoled.
Look back to the past, and remember
how many sleepless nights have | caused
you; how many tears | have made YOU
shed. StandiugOn the brink of the grave.
[ confess myself to have been unworthy
of your love. Nor do [ believe that |
should ever have become better; no, |
should have sunk deeper and deeper, aud
have laid even heavier burdens OF SORROW
upon your shoulders. Believe me, it is
better thus. Adopt a little boy. call him
Arnold, bring INN up carefully so that
he may be the staff Of your old age. Had
[ lived, what should | have become
\ morally and physically degraded
creature, unfit to live upon the face of
the earth. Adieu!" 1t is melancholy
to think that a boy capable of pcnning
such letter as this should have pre-
fcrred death to atonement. Surely the
moral sores of nature so susceptible to
repentance might have been healed by
timely and iudicious treatment.
