On Thursday last a sad accident occurred on the Mnskosh River, one of the tributaries of Lake . Huron. It appears that a. raft belonging to A. P. Cockburn & Co. became entangled immedi- ately above the Inst Fall, near the outlet, caus- ing n. jam in the river. The water commenced to rise rapidly-, `which gave alarm to Mr. Cockburn s -foreman, Mr. Gray, who gave orders for the men to abandon the timber. After a. time, no doubt fancying all safe, Mr. Gray and another. man . ventured on the raft, which began to move. Go- ing over the falls_ they were at once hurried into eternity. The names ot"the parties drowned are Henry Hogalonm and Alex. 8. Gray. Neither of the bodies have as yet been recovered. .............8 .. nun \..\vI:IIcuIv mcunuul nu` uuverusmgo Mr. John C.

General Barry issued tickets yesterday to all applicants whom he considered: entitled to it, but gave notice that no transportation tickets would be issued after that day. On the 6.30 train west, `yesterday morning, {our cars with .Fe- nian soldiers were sentover the road. At 4- o clock, ten car-loads were des- patched, and at hall -past nine o clock last night two cars bore away all of the remaining Fenians that presented them-`"'` selves for transportation. The number remaining in the city is small, and some of these are stragglers, who will not be the subjects-of any great amount of sym- pathy either from their officers or our citizens. They l1_avel1ad very hard `work since ' they came to `Torc'>n.to, very few com- pnnies being left tcgnard the city; but they appeared to be looking well and in pretty good spirits, except when the col- lapse of the Fenian invasion happened to be alluded to, and then the feeling of disapppintnient at having to return h'orne_ without a. fight displayed itselfuin lan- guage at times more forcible than polite.` V -r`r'__-'7 - ,` 1 -1| . - - " __-.. ya. `null uA\r4o Some of theiboys in green became merry before the departure of the special train which was to convey them to their destinations, and as they stood in rogi- mental Liles or companies, manifested their good feeling" by indulging in re- peated cheers for Buffalo.
