TRIPLE DROWNDING. "4 IrJFi*- 1 TEAM BACKS OFF OF A FERRY BOAT

AND DROWNS THREE PERSONS,*, -it A MAN AND TWO GIRLS. From the Vincennes Sun. From a gentleman who came into this office just as we go to press, we lean, that Morgan's ferry, in Harrison township, was the scene of a terrible afld disastrous accident, yesterday evening. In cros6 ing the river, the boat had on two teams, the hindmost one being driven by John Sumwiitt, who had two young ladies, Alice Cottrell, aged 17, and Ellen Dellinger, aged about 16, daughter of Jonas Dellinger, a well-known citizen of Harriscm township.

The forward team became frightened and backed onto the other horses, forcing them from the flfeoat into the middle of the river. Tre unfortunate occupants and both horses sank beneath the m«ddy water. 'Summitt and Mi»s Del linger were nort seen again, but Miss Cffittrell arose, only to sink into a watef-y grave. Our (informant says they were returning from the Pike County fair, The bodies hod not been recovered at an early hour this mornings*The river is rising rapidly, which will 'make it more difficult to recover the bodies.

S'afteen year* ago the same oouple, then young, were married Two years afterward they were separated •one obtaining a divonee from the other. Shortly after the seperation, Mr. Wftkes married another woman and Miss Pierson took unto herself another husband Mr. Wilkes second wife died a few year*, ago and Miss Pierson obtained a divorce •from her second husband.

A North Carolina City and its ,7^ People.

Carolina juiy, yet this jury, with but one or two exceptions, presents a fair aver age of intelligence and good sound judgment.

This city, like all Southern towns, has its moderate drinkers of old rye, and corn juice. The latter, corn juice, seem6 to be more sought aftir by the average drinker of his dozen or more drams per dav, on account of its non-in toxicating ejects the height of three fingers,or even a glass-full, seems to have but little, if any, effect upon the drinker. Habit and custom may, perhaps, have a good deal to do in the matter, as the did saying, "we can afet used to almost anything." The crops of cotton, corn a.id fruit are not looking so well a6 we have been accustomed to see them,. The average Carolinean from the rural districts, as you meet with them in the town or city, will not compare in any way favorably with our Indiana HoosierS or Illinois Suckers. Tne two wheeled cart drawn by one or more cows, or oxen, loaded with a dozen or more sticks of wood for sale, will hardly compare with the Studebaker or Milburn of the

West, drawn by well fed,sleek horses. It can be truly said that with an exception of a larger population in town and city, that the farmers as a rule, ae no further advanced than they were one hundred years ago. The old rut of dady is still adhered to, the bame old style of wagon the old bull, cow or doun'-y, have not •been improved upon. Much more could he written, but enough. r'

CHARLOTTE HONORARY MEMBERS.

Charlotte, N. C., Sept. 1.

To the Editor of the GAZETTI: The city of Charlotte is, no doubt, one of the most prosperous towns of North Carolina, as well as one of the oldest in the State. Charlotte was first laid out on the 15th of January, 1767, and at that time was the home of the red man of the forest, and to-day, as the poet has it, we write of the place, where, on the red man's faded trail, the engire smokes and roars, aud city lots are staked for sale above old Indian graves. The city was named in honor of Charlotte Augusta, daughter of Queen Caroline, and George the IV. The city is well laid out with wide streets, and the business portion is compactly and well built. The sident portion in all directions, presents a beautiful appearance, and lots are universally ot large dimensions. As to the buildings many of them are superior in beauty and arcitsctural design. The front yards are mostly well set with roses and floweta of many kinds, and at this present time are in full bloom. Some of the finest specimens ofliye oak that we have ever seen adorn the front yards. These huge trees are certainly a beautiful sight to behold. This city in times gone by was noted for its gold miuingintere-ts. Within a radiusqfca few miles a number of mines hWe been in operation but proved unproductive. A gentleman just in from or.e of the mines still in operation was pointed out to the writer Saturday evening lasts as holding in his hands $500 as the result of thj dpy's work. We thought that rather fair for one day. But, continued the gentleman, the result of this day's work has no doubt cost the operat )rs the snug sum of $5,000. Another large operator has long since, and after investing h's thousands, closed his mines and gone home. His lesult was gold enough lo manufacture therefrom a pair of 6leeve-buttons. The cify has been full of Grangers for the past few days, being Court week, and the most exciting case—that of murder or wife poisoning. This case, as we understand, has been brought here by change of venue from another county. The jury are taking their meals at the Central Hotel, ana in full view of your correspondent and while we must confess that we have often 6een and heard many jokes cracked at the expense of a North

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 'f*CioB Saturday's D.llyau.nfiV/ Mr. Lawrence HeinlV residence was vesterday the place of meeting of the *Terre Haute Horticultural Society. The attendance was rather larger than usual and the meeting exceptionally successful and pleasant. It is always delightful to spend an afternoon in Mr. Heinl's beautifully kept place.

President Gilbert called the meeting to order and Mrs. Wonner, the secretarj, read the minutes of the previous meeting and they were approved.

Flowers constituted the theme on which Wh Jones—who is an ardent, live and successful cultivator fo them—read a well prepared essay.

Mr. Hulman gave the society some -well-pointed observations on birds. Rev. Mr. Abbey told those present,of his editorial trip West. •Capt. Putter's vacation North furnished ihim with a subject upon which he talked interestingly.

Dinner was eaten under the trees —the most delightful place on earth to make things taste good and appetites vigorous.

After dinner—remember it was afier dinner—Mrs. Soule read an essay on "Self Control." The GAZETTE does not know whether it was. an impromptu, the necessity of whicfr Was suggested to the .body by the manner in which everybody., etc but certain it is the essay was elegantly prepared.

Mrs. Allen Pence read nicely, "Katie Lee and Willie Gray" a pretty Jittlepoem. "Does Charity increase Pauperism," was the sttbject of discussion. Everyone took part in it.and the sentiment was divided.

What is the best government for a

I 376 68! nation" will be considered at the next meeting, which wilt take place next 'month, at Sugar Grove School-house.

There were some elegant specimens of grapes on exhibition yesterday. ^.

he Pian on Wklch They ure to ,pe Admitted to the Ringgold Band.

From Saturday's Daily.

As the Ringgold's are going to admit honorary members to their organization, it may not be amiss to give a short sketch ot the proposed plan.

A paper will bs circulated, on which those persons desiring to join will affix their names, placing opposite the amounts they may be disposed to give the band per month.

The money that is thus raised is to be used for defraying room rent, fuel and light bills, music bills and other expenses that may come before the band from timeto time.
