Distressing Occurrence Ae learn
from the Norfolk Herald that Mr. Johii
Young, of Warwick counly, highly es
teemed citizen, with a wife and two child
ren, was drowned about ten days ago, while
on a fishing excursion, in company wish
Mr. Francis Armsted, Norfolk, by the up
setting of their boat in James River. A
negro man, who accompanied them, im
mediately sunk and was drowned, and
Messrs. Young and Armsted swam f(fr the
nearest land, probably three miles distant,
but before reaching it Mr. Young became
exhausted and sunk into a Watery grave,
after swimming nearly . two miles. Mr.
A., wha was considerably behind him, still
kept on, and relieved himself occasionally
by turning on his back and floating; and
after an arduous and perilous struggle he
succeeded in reaching the idiotd.

4 months old, which had been left for a

Melancholy Jljf my: We learn, by the!
passvngors on the Louisville mail boat,
hat a disgraceful affray took place last
Mondjy evening, at Washington Hall, in
which Mr. Bliss, an assistant editor of th
Louisville Journal, was shot by Mr Pope,
editor of the Louisville Sun. The hall
struck his arm, glanced into his right side,
and lodged in the back bone. Mr. Bliss
was living when the mail boat left, the next
morning, but it was thought he could sur
vi e h it a few hours. Mr. Pope was im
mcdia'ely arrested and committed to jail.
Tnere was an immense excitement on the
subject, though the Louisville papers of
Tuesday gave no particulars. The affray is
said to have arisen fioni some remarks
made by Mr. Bliss on a speech of one oi
Mr. Pope's relatives.

Dreadful Accident at Keeseville, N.
York Oh Tuesday last, a dreadful acci
dent occurred at Keeseville. Essex county;
at the 'foot bridge above the dam of the
Ausable, attended with great loss of life.
A company of militia had just passed the
arch or draw of ihe bridge, when tho sup
ports gave way, precipitating all that hap
pened to be on it into the rirer and they
were carried by the force of the current o
ver the dam. About thirteen persons,
chiefly boys, are missing at the village,
and as 1 hero were many strangers in Ihe
place on that day, (the general training
day.) it was leared that this was not the ex
tent of the calamity.
IVashinglon Cake. This cake derives
its name from the fact that it was a great
favorite at the table of Gen. Washington;
the last two years-of his life, it always
formed one of the delicacies of his break
fast table, and is considered one of ihe
standing dishes at a Virginia dejune.
Recipe. Take two lbs. ot Dour, one
quart of inilk, with art ounce of butter heat
ed together, put the milk and butter into
the flour when it is lukewarm, tdd a. pen
ny's worth of yeast, three eggs and a tea
.spoonful of salt, place it in pans over night,
and bake it in the morning, in a quick o
ven for three quai tersofan hour.

Mullicaiilis Paper. We noticed, a
few days since, the fact that piper had been
manufactured at Petersburg, Virginia, from
the leases of the Morns Multieaulis. The
Richmond Enquirer of Friday has the fol
lowing parngr ph on the subject:
"Dr. Spenrer, of Petersburg, has been
polite enough to forward to us a quire of
his paper, manufactured from the leaves of
the Morns Multicaulis. We have printed
them off with this day's impression of the
Enquirer, and they will be deposited in
our office for general inspection. The pa
per is very substantial, and glossy; and,
singular to say, that whilst it is manufactur-
greeable odor of the best Chinese Green
Tea. We are not aware of the nature of
the process employed by Doctor Spencer,
nor of the time, labor, nor expense, which
may be necessary lo prepare the leaves for
the paper vat, but we trust that they may
be such as will enable the manufacturer to
substitute them, to a certain extent for
rags, which are generally expensive and
difficult to procure. We shall watch the
progress of this discovery with curiosity
and with interest.
