The lamp is constructed for burning gasoline oil, and in size .and appearance Is similar to the ordinary street lamp.

William Samuels alias William Allen, a young colored man in the employ of the W., C. & A. R. R., and in the habit of act ing as general .brakesman and car-coupler for the yard engines, met with a.terrible and probably jTataT accident at the depot yeateriay. afternoon, about twenty minutes before 1 o'clock. It seems that an engine, with car attached, was being backed down in the yard. The coach had no steps to It, and Samuels, probably not knowing the fact, or having forgotten it, came out of the coach and stepped off, falling between the platform of the coach and the 'stationary freight platform in the yard . The consequence was that he was literally crushed between the two platforms before the engine could be stopped, both arms being broken and his body seriously mangled. Tbe poor fel low was promptly removed in a hand-car to the house of a friend in the neighbor hood of Eighth and Campbell streets, where the physician who had been summoned did what he could for the relief of the sufferer, of whose recovery there is much doubt Tbe unfortunate man is only about 21 years of age. -k;,,.- v., Brig SHas iT. ilfarfin, hence, arrived at New York on Sunday. , ; ; KIT CABSOW, Jr:, will deliver a Free Lecture on the habits ana customs of the Indians, this eve ning, at 1)i o'clock, in front of the Market.
