Collision on the River A Small Boat
V' RnnDotvn by a Schooner.
A young colored t man by the name of
G66ding,more; familiarly known as Crow,"
was crossing the river in a small boat, yes
terday morning, at' the same time jtbat a
tug, with the' schooner Zoretta Fish la tow,
was making its way down the stream. He
saw. the tug approaching close upon him,
and in his anxiety to avoid a collision with
her, coupled with the confusion which the
danger naturally caused, he failed to no
tice the schooner which, ere he was aware
pflier, proximity, came with her bows foil
upon his little craft, sinking it instantly.
At the moment of the collision Goodring,
with remarkable activity, sprang over
board andcommenced swimming for life.
The accident was noticed from the shore
and two or three boats put out to . his res
cue, into one of which the young man was
taken and landed safe on terra firmdr The
boat disappeared immediately after she
was struck, and it became a matter of con
jecture as to what had become of her,' un
til finally, after the vessel had reached a
point nearly opposite . Messrs. Northrop &
Cumming's mill, it emerged from its con
cealment under the bows of the schoon
er and drifted off, but was subsequently
picked up by a boat from the shore.;

granting of his application - he stated that
he was born in the year 1804, worked on
the first railroad that connected with Wil
mington, and was thekfirst man engaged to
labor on said road, besides which he had
known the Chief for a long time, and. his
sow was notably a well behaved one any
way, having been turned out for the first
time -'just to stretch hcrlegs ajlittle," and
hence he thought that he should be allowed
to regain possession of his favorite porker
without being required to pay the usual re.
demplion fee. . ' As to the success of. the old
man's pleadings we have not been Informed.
