Strain Boat Lost. —The new and beauti
ful steam boat Arrow, on her first trip from
jdt. l.ouis to this port, was lost-some dis
tuneb from Rayon Sarah, on the 7th instant.
She had stopped to wood, and as she was j
making fast, when it was discovered she
was sin king. Immediately the passengers!
on board saved what baggage they could,
and made for the shore. At first it was
thought she had sunk and settled on a
batture bottom, but soon the banks sloped
off and the boat careered over, parting her j
fastings, and tilling rapidly- There was ;
oit board a large number of passengers, a
v doable cargo, -10 head of cattle, a number ,
of sheep. The cattle were cut loos, aud
swam ashore,- most of the sheep were
drowned. The Governor Shelby passing
down after this accident, picking tip the
passengers snd brought th< m to this city :
the boat and caruo and SIO,OOO in specie
are lost. The Arrow was anew boat- and
not intended, vve understand, for the Ncvv-
Orleans trade. AYe have l.vcu told she
was a mere shell, intended m drew a ligltt
drfught of water for the up country trade.
It is conjectured that she had been snagged
before stopping to wood, aud that the leak
then only declared itself.

tempting to put out the llauics that had at
tacked the curtaius of his bed, got his hands

sent for a couple of quarts of llte lotion, -4
j ounces of the solution to a pint of water,

During the “Cholera times’’ of 1833, when
every body was dabbling more or less in
chloride of lime or soda, the writer of this
patagraph was moved, just by way of ex

burn on one ol’ his bands, and certanly ob
tained, either from that or from imagtua- i
tten, almost immediate relief to the pain,
and a speedy abatement of the inflamma

i crime by one of his own slaves whom he had
whipped for refusing to commit the act, and
ih<j charge was confirmed by five other ne- ;

Bi mrn Auvc.— Among the many fulfil ac
i cidenta which it occasionally becomes our un
| plcsaut duty to record, is the following, which
vve were n.formed of by an eye witness : On
Friday, the Ist, insl. a man by the name of
Scott, who had recently located himself on a
farm iilkiui seven miles north of Piqua, on the
Harlitn road, in atteniping to deepen his well,
and mk llte wall, was buried by the Caving itt ;
and falling of stones aud earth ail around hint
In this situation he continued alive for some i
time, before*any one would volunteer to de
scend to his assistance. At length an Irish
man, by the name of Tooly, came forward and
offered his services. He was let down and
had succeeded in releasing one of the unfortu
nate man’s arms, and conversed with him, un
til he was warned of itis danger by a large
stone falling on him. Those above ltad barely
time to raise the brave fellow to the surface,
when about eight feet more of the wall and
carlh fell iu and literally crushed and •
poor Scott alive! Tin y eventually succeeded
lit exhuming the body and committed it to the
grave. We understand that a numerous fam
ily depended upon him for support.
I Shocking Accident. —We regret to learn,
says the Newport, N. 11. Argus, that w hile the
people of Morristown, Vt. were engaged in
rearing anew meeting-house, alxiut n fortnight
since, an accident occured of a very painful
nature.—The frame had lieen rained to a con- j
siilerable height, and planks laid across the j
beams to afford a foothold to those assisting in
constructing the roof, i.tc After a number of
‘men had ascended upon the planks, the sup
port undernerth gave way, and twenty-nine
persons wore percipitated to the ground, with
the limber and planks of the frame! Twenty
six of the number were badly injured, but
strange to say, not a life was lost. Many had
arms, legs, and ribs broken, and several litubs
have been amputated.
.I*l Old Convict and Hardened Case. —
William Brown, sentenced in the Criminal
Court on Saturday last, to three years impri
sonment in the Eastern Penitentiary for the
crime of larcency, was sixty-one years of age,
thirty one rears of which time he had spent in
prisons and penitentiaries in different parts of
the Eniu-d Stales. He was confined at one
time for 18 years in the-Massachusetts State
Prison, and at another seven years in the old
Wanut Street Prison in this city. Never did
we w itness a more striking example of the
damning effects of crime than in this abandon
ed wretch, llts countenance was wild, care
worn, haggard and desperate, aud hi* whole
demeanor gave, alas ! sufficient, though lamen
table evidence of his being ar*rk!C remorse
less ana compfphr casehardened villain. His
like vve never vv i'f* so lo**k upon again.

Tut: Hi nm:n Churches.—The New York
Despatch says : —“ln taking a turn about the
ruins oil Saturday, vve found workmen em
ployed upon two of the churches injured by
the conflagration which destroyed the Nation-
I al Theatre. The repairs of the French Church”
are in a staUuff great forwardness : and the
workmen nP\ the Presbyterian Church in
Franklin street, have made very good progress.
The African Church is entirely down; the
Theatre is untouched, und the walls vviil Aril
of themselves one of these days, if not taken
down, as they should be. The churches of
the re-building of which nothing has been said
are much nearer completion than the “Metrop
olitiun Theatre” is near commencement.”
Curious. —We learn from the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal, that a young )
married woman in that city, who had been
under medical treatment for several years
for sciatica by some physicians, ami for I
rheumatism by others, was on Monday Oc
tober 38th, effectually cured by the removal
of a whole needle an inch and a half in
jength, whith was found deeply imbeded
in the great gluteal muscle, It was not
known how long the needle had been itt
the body, but she remembers to have swal
lowed one about ten years since, and has
suffered actually injthat region for six vears.
