VuLU vlE X NUMBER 59. WILMINGTON, N. TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 31, 1855. WHOLE NUMBER 1161 A THAGEDY AT CONEV ISLAND . . . . tlT 1 , '.. A a:f Hcci'ieni occurred on v enncsiiy? ii Co fjr Island. N. Yt, where a number of )ierajns frurn Williamsburg were bath ing The Herald says; All passed off pleasantly until uery was raised, ' the undertow ' the undertow, fend on looking towards the ocean the com. kjany saw with dismay five of their party dYiftiriff out to sea. Grear confusion im tneiliately prevailed, and efforts were mide .o procure a boat, but none couM be found lot a mile either way1 along the beach.- Wo other resource being left, the doors of he biithinr houses were torn off and shov Td out after the. persons in the watei, und vro of them were snved thereby. "But thw most rnelanchoy ..part of this story n in-iiiis to be sold. It appears the difficulty originate t by a young lady named . Mary Ann Elliott getting beyond her depth, and feeling the undenow taking her out, sne screameit our, i mn sinking, save tne l' Her fat her, lit v. John Elliott, "who was in the waier, seeing the danger of his child, swam towards her; but before reaching- the spot where she was, he was also taken with the current and drifted out to sea and soon sank. He rose once to the , surface and threw his arms wildly in the air, then sank again and was seen no more. The peril of Miss Elliott was also seen by a Mr. Thomas Gibbons, the affianced husband of the lady, who immediately wa- ded and swam to where she was struggling in the water, and succeeded in holding her up for some time. The greatest excitement prevailed at the moment the tragedy was being enacted, and no one seemed able to offer any assistance. -The couple were borne out rapidly and those on the shore gave them up for lost, when it was seen that Mr. Gibbons had secured a niece nf timber, and had seized it for support, but it was not large enough to uphold both, and Mr. Gibbons disengaged himself from Miss Elliot and told her to grasp the suspenders of his bathing dress behind, while he held on to the wood. This she did for a time ; but, with a true woman's devotion, seeing that her lover was sinking, and fearing that he would drown, she suppressed in that moment of peril, when the horrors of death were clustering around her, the selfish in stinct of her nature for life, and let go her hold, though he begged her for God's and her own sake to never mind him, but her self She soon sank and was seen no more. Mr Gibbons was fortunately drifted to wards a point on the isl ind where he found l fooihold, and was dragged ashore by means of rop-s. . . Two other persons, Mr. Henry Boyd, jr., and a Miss Eatman, were also caught in -the same current, but fortunately managed to secure one of the boards floating about and were towed towards the shore. Miss Eatman had sank r nee or twice, and was so overcome by terror and her injuries that it is feared she will not recover She was taken to the Ocean House, and now lies there in a dangerous condition. 4 Mr. Boyd escaped unhurt. Th s melancholy affair caused deep feel ing on the island, and the self-devotion ex hibited by the unfortunate girl was the theme of many an admiring eulogy. She was quite young, and said to be of rare 1 ... - c - I . f i - ueauijr ji persona auu amiaoiuiy 01 a is po sition. It will be a heavy blow to her re. latives in Williamsburg. 'Her father, who was drowned, was a local preacher in the meihodist church, and was much respect ed for bis many virtues. AN INCIDENT OF LIFE. : 'I do not think it a selfish act if loecu .py this whole seat myself, as I am to trav el all this long day,' said I to a lady near est me,'one sultry morning, as I took the out-of-the-way end seat, in the caw at Buffalo, for Albany 'Certainly not, was the reply, as I put my shawl, book, p ipers, fan, bouquet, &c. in the one end, and nestled myself down in the other. I soon wearied of conversa tion and reading, and had sunk into a fitful slumber, when a gentle tap on my shoul ders, and a low 'please, Miss' made me wake wi h a sudden Jtart. 1 he car was filled to overflowing, and a newly arrived party had entered, and a pale little woman with a fretful baby in her arms, stood asKing permiss on to sit beside me. With more of pity than of pleasure, I shared my seat with her, vet I spoke but few words, and sulkily forebore taking the restless little1 creature to ease I . . I her poor, -wearied arms, but merely smooth -ed its yellow hair and its pale, baby cheeks, "and said Mary was a good and sweet name. - - For my o'n comfort I had opened the window that If might more distinctly catch those picturesque Tiews, that flitted by so -quickly that they seemed like glowing pictures, without oue imperfection to mar, when my attention was drawn to my com panion, who was incessantly coughing. 4I do - wish you would let down that window,' said she 'the coal smoke makes my cough so much worse.' 4 um ashamed to confess it now, but I felt the angry blood burn to my cheek, and aa flashing of the eyes, as I replied : 'I am quite sick, and wearied. and troub led, and hungry, and thirsty, and crowded. nd here you come as an intruder, and keep me from the mile of cool; fresh : air that I ana trying to get. Do you think you are doing as you would be done by ?' said I, tartly. and"Vithout waiting for a reply, I rose, and was letting down the window wilh an angry crash, as a 'naughty chilJ would slam a door shut, when she laid her poor.wasiea nanrt on my arn,t anj gajj ; Oh ! don't do it then, nnd burst into tears; and leaned her head down on her baby and cried bitterly. : . The wooian m ray het was touched but putting on th injur air of a martyr. I compressed my lips, and took tip a paper pretenJing to rend. Pretty, soon my eyes grew dimmed. ; I could not see without crushing the tears often, - nd 1 resolved to ask her pardon for my unkindnessj but minute after minute gllled away and we oon reached her place cf destination, and she rose to leave, 1 lose, too, ami the wons were on my lips, wflen a gentleman came to assit her out. She turned her gentle tearful eyes upon me with a sad expression, and bowed so sweetly that my band was almost upraised o appeal for forgivness, the words were just dropping from my lips, but she ws gone tt was too late, and 1 a woman, with a woman's heart, was left with that sting ing little barb sticking in it, and the sweet words and wasted little -hand that r.Ionr could remove it, were gone from m forr- ever. I sank back in my seat and wept bit terly. : The gentleman return I fum assisting her, as the car was full, took the place she had vacated. 1 inquired who the lady was, and he replied : . 'Her home is in Wisconsin, anil she has returned to the home oi her rl.iMh wd to die.? The whole family -of brothers and sisters died of consumption, and she, the last one left, is going too.' Oh! I turned away sick at heart, and tried to shut out from remembrance that pallid, appealing face, as I resolved, and re-resolved never again in this poor life of mine to speak an unkind word Ohio Farmer. YOU FORGOT ME. A good joke is told at the expense of one of our church going citizens who is father of an interesting family of children, and among them a bright eyed boy numbering four of five summers, the pet of the house hold, and unanimously voted the drollest little mischief alive. On Saturday night he bad been bnded to keep peace and retired to bed an hour earlier than usual, with the promise that on the morrow he might so with the family to church. On Sunday morning it was found inconvenient to put the youngest ihrough the regular course of washing and dressing necess ry for his proper appear ance at thfc sanctuary, and the family slip ped off without him. They had not, how ever, more than become comfortablyeeated in their pew, when in walked the youngest with nothing on but a night wrapper and a cloth cap. 'You forgot me. said he, in a tone loud mough to be heatd all over the church. The feelings of the parents can be more easily imagined than described. t " Fafayelle (2nd.) Journal MRS. BO BINS ON AT PRAYER. Two sympathizing and Christian ladies, us we learn, called at the J il it day or two since and requested to see Mrs Robinson. Permission having been granted them, thev entered her room, and after some little con versation, proposed prayers No objection being raised, the two ladies, together with Mrs. R., knelt down, and each of the for mer by turn fervently addressed the Su preme Being, after which they requested Mrs It. to do the same, he, however, at first raised some objection, but on their in sisting, finally did as they desired, but had not succeeded in uttering but a few words when she burst out into a loud and hearty laugh. The ladies looked surprised, and no doubt were mortified a such unseemly conduct In answer to their inquiring look, Mrs. R. begged them to excuse her,as the circumstances reminded her so forcibly of her girlhood, when she and other children used to erect an altar, and kneeling round it, make believe to pray, that she could not ht lp laughing. The atttempt was then given up, and Mrs. It. was not again asked to ptny during that interv.ew. Troy Budget. I A HARD HIT. A Charleston (S C.J.paper, speaking of uie progress oi cant, HumbUff und f..nati- cisra at the North, recently observed, "Wp expect to hear yet, of a reformed Railroad r-resiaeni, drawing crowded houses to hear the expositio of the art of raising the wind, and all wonderful wonders of New i orti financiering." AWFUL SCENE AT A FIRE. The St.. Louis Democrat, in giving an account of the late destructive fire, in that city, says : " When the fire had been subdued, and the stable was a heap of ashes, the char red remains of some three or four. of the noble beasts, were yet visible, lying amid the cinders, as if they struggled most fear fully against the remorseless flames. Some tnree or tour ot them were taken out of the stable partially roasted, and yet with sufficient life and strensrth'Hd walk about ihe piteous winnowings of these animals. - 1 a . . as they stood trembling in the agony of tneir sunenngs, moved the hearts of all who saw them. They were taken out to Lhoteau pond by some humane individuals. ana mere snot, ana relieved of their suffer ings." ' ABOLITIONISTS READ 1 The Tuibodcuux (La.) Minerva says : "Joseph Hunter, who plead guilty before me iisirici voun ot oasi onion xtoue. to tne cnarge of separating a slave child, under the lawful age, from is parents, is condemned to pay a nn ot 91,000, forfeit the slaves or their proceeds to the Stare, ana to undergo 6ix znontns imprisonment." BEEF CO ING DOWN Beef is said to be ."corning down" in New York. The laugh comes in when it is understood that it is only coming down the Hudson river Boston Bee. The Bee may , laugh again, when it assured that prices as well as ' the be- f ' are coming: down Read the . cattle market-report. A month ago we were paying at the rate $12 a $14 per hun dred at the Bull's Head.v Now. fair qualities can be had at $3 a $4 less. That is coming down isn't it? Ex. press. ; A THREADBARE GAME.
