(brother of the Editor of this paper J met
his death on the 2d instant, in a most, nor
rid, m'aqner. He had been on a visit to his
brother, in Georgia; and on his return to
the West ,lnd ies (Havana, .where he had
resided for the Jast eighteen;. or twenty
yeairs,) be took passage at AJontgomery
Ala., on board the steamer Olive, Miller,
Captain, and, vvhen about 60 miles below
Montgomery, near King's Island, .apd
unfortunately, .while promenading Ihe
second deck, in conversation with a gentle
man, the Boiler burstedand the upper or
hurr icane deck passed oyer the head of his
companion, and,, striking Mr.. jyans,
precipitated him in the midst of . the red-,
hot boilers, from which horrid situation,
blinded as he was by thesmokcand steam,
he succeeded in extricating himself , by
seizing with his hands the red-hot iron
bars and lifting himself out. Hfs mangled
body was immediately, conveyed ashore
to the house of ...Mathews, where every
attention and the best medical aid was
rendered him but alas! it was all in vain.

most excruciating torment for twenty-four
hours, and expired. His body was decent
