"While at dinner Captain Cribb missed the gentleman and was told that die was in a' berth; proceeded to it and awoke and asked him to the table. Mr; "Wilson got lip; putt on his coat, passed by the. table and wont .down on the lower deck. They soon finished dining, when the steward was or dered to go down and call him up, bnt he was ' hot to he found. A young lady who was sit ting at the table thon remarked that she saw - a man in the river, which his hands lifted, hut supposing that be was bathing, turned her face without remark. The .boat then started and went hack to the' 1 place; looked, around; saw nothing of him, and supposing that ho might have swam ashore blew her whistle.and not finding him in this way she proceeded on her journey.

Lately, many residents in certain locali tiesliave comhi nqd and made up sufficient sums: of money to pay private watchmon to - guard their property. In some instances, houses which are vacated while the families are tem porarily absent in the country ate under the special attention of theseprlvate seml-officials. Quite a number of the old police officers, dis missed by Mayor Fox, have been, for their acknowledged bravery aiid unquestionable in tegrity, selected to perform the ’ duties of pri vate watchmen. . Tub Lvlk Monument. —The handsome monument to be erected to the memory of the late David M. Lyle, Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, is almost completed. Work upon it has progressed slowly on, account of ; the want of funds. By the contract, $ll,OOO is the amount to he paid for tlie monument. Of that amount only $2,000 has been raised thus far. Contributions have been received, from only thirty out of tlie eighty-seven companies in the city. Mr. Lyle was highly respected among the members of the Fire Department, and the existing deficiency in tho funds ought to he made up, without any difficulty, among the companies which have not yet made a subscription. Suspicion op Bukm.a«y, —Bast night, be tween 10 and 11 o’clock, four men wore dis covered acting in a suspicions manner onDean street, between Spruce and Pine. On that street are located stables -which belong to dwelling houses on Twelfth street, and It is supposed that the men intended to rob some of these houses. After a chase to ,Eleventh and Clinton streets two of the suspicious fellows were captured hy Sergeant Lynch. They gave their nameß as John McKee and Samuel Smith, and will have a hearing at the Central Station this afternoon. Attempted Boiibkiiy. —This morning, abont three o’clock, three fellows entered' the bakery of Christian Sussenberger, No. lM vine street, and jumped over the counter. As they were abont robbing the money drawer, Mr. Sussenberger made his appear-- ance and tho thieves decamped. They broke the showcase, but got no plunder. ■Pebsonai.. —President Grant, accompanied by Hon. Hamilton Pish, Secretary of State, and General Horace Porter, arrived in this city from hong Branch abont eight o’clock last evening. They remained at the Conti nental Hotel until 11.30 P.

A New 'Wooden Pavement,— A. number .of members of City Councils and large proporty holders of the city assembled yesterday after noon it the office of the Philadelphia Wood Paving Company, southwest corner of Broad and Chestnut streets, to examine a now stylo of pavement which that company lias laid in seyqral. other cities,. andyyliieh .has given entire satisfaction to tlie authorities., The experime at with the JSTicolson pavement on North Broad street has - proved successful, and: has '.'shown that wood pavements are vastly superior to tlie old mode of putting down cobblestones. The new pavement exhibited yesterday, it is claimed, presents many advantages over tlie Nicolson -pavement- ; The!,. blocks used are wedge shape, instead of sqiiare like the Nicol son, and' are so iiut. down as to' cover tlie entire floor or plank foundation, which not only facilitates the, . laying, but ' insures fixedness, solidity and durability to tlie structure; The channels between the blocks' being also ■ wedge-shaped - and running transversely to tho street, are filled in with concrete, binding the whole ’firmly together, each line of filling operating like - tho key of an arch, and more and more com pact with rise. There being no parting strips ordove-tailfastemngfl'or-woodenbindmgs,- the blocks stand relieved of those inducements ,to decay which form a material objection to other wooden pavements. Tlie construction of this pavement admits ofits .beinglaid, taken up, ana re-iaid, as easily as any stone pave ment; - Tins pavement Is capable of sustaining a much heaner load than others constructed with a less bearing surface to tho blocks, and may lie constantly used by heavy-loaded trains without injury or displacement; while the upper surfaces of tlie" blocks continually in crease in size as they are worn away, whereby strength and durability are greatly increased. The cost of this pavement, when put down in' the,best manner, will not exceed tliat of any other good pavement now in use. , The officers of the Philadelphia Wood Paving Company are— President—Hon. John M. Bickel. Tice-President—James W. Havens. Williaip Musgrave, Ti'easurer—James H.

Dog Shot.—Officer Jolintry yesterday shot a dog in the City Hall yard which had bitten a little glrl; residing in Taylor’s avenue, Cam den. • : / - Lougebs.—During the past few days there has been a great falling-off in tlie number of lodgers in the Camden Station House; for seve ral nights not a single person has been there! Up Slouut Wnshlnjtton toy Unit; f From the Concord (N,H.) Patriot, J All being ready, the word-was given, the steam let ( on, antf-we began to move, slowly, steadily, smoothly up the mountain side. All who were there for the first time were' more or less excited; but if any felt fear, it was boou dispelled by the - facts. Of the situation—the smooth ana gentle movement of the train, the utter absence of all apparent anxiety on the part of those who had been there before, and -tho perfect composure pf the several officers of the Company who were, on hoard—and in. a very, brief time the whole party seemed en grossed with the novelty pf-dhe : situtw tion, and the magnillcent. views which opened before them-as; they made their way upward, and entirely unconscious of any sense of danger. There' was no feeling of goiilgupT the seats being hungJike- a . swing, the occn pants “retained their perpendicular,’?• regard less of the grade, and we seemed to be going aliead on a' level-plain. As we rose in cur -progress; • the view“Of^the-scenery- beoame “ broader and more magnificent: in no other situation in the wotld can anything he found to equal it. Every/ rod in advance opened some new object of sortie varying - feature Of the scene, and all other feeling was lost in . combined admiration of the grand panorama spread out before them and the wonderful machinery which enabled us to view it so favorably. As we proceeded onward and upward, our little engine steadily and bravelv pushing ns ahead, making three brief stops for refresh ments in the form of wood and water,we soon became conscious of a change of temperature. At the start the ordinary clothing was com fortable, the mercipy standing but little below 70; before getting halfway up overcoats were in demand,andas.we approached the summit the wind blew a gale—a cold, hard wind that mado the teeth chatter. After a ride of an hour and a quarter we reached the end of our journey, upon the ex treme tip-top of Mount Washington, stopping a few rods in front of tne hotel. Here wo dis embarked, and now came,the tug of war. The most diflicult.and dangerous portion of - bur journey was the few rods from the cars to the hotel. The wind blew a gale, men’s hats had to ho tied or held on, women’s garments flut tered and snapped like the loosened topsail ot asliip; one could with difficulty stand, and the passage over the uneven ledges was onlv ef fected after herculean effort and many ludi crous mishaps, which created .great hilarity. But it was accomplished at last, and wo en tered the house and crowded around two roar ing wood fires. The thermometer outside stood at forty-three. find Accident 1u Sewarh— Tivo Persons Drowned. A lamentable accident occurred at the City Dock, at the foot of Market street, Newark, last evoning, by -which two persofis, just re turned from a pleasure trip, suddenly lost tkdir lives. The steamer Sleepy Hollow,winch had borne the excursionists pi St. Joseph’s Society to Dudley’s Grove, returned, at about 9.30 o'clock, and drew up at the City Dock to land her load of living freight. The gang-planks were thrown down, and tlm passengers crowded over them in haste to get 'to their homes. Mr. James Magee, one of the excursionists, was' walking off with the crowd, when, pressed hy thosie who followed him,he nusse"d his foot ing, and fell over the side. As he went down, he threw out his arms for aid and caught a lady, Mrs. Morris, and pulled her down with him. They plunged into the water and disap peared. •■• A search Was immediately made for their bodies, hut it had proved unsuccessful at 11.30 o’clock last night. The search was con tinued, however, by the light of lanterns and torches, and wlth the aid of the hundreds who were companions with the unfortunate couple upon their pleasure trip. / Mrs. Morris resided In Montgomery street,, was afcealous memherof the church, and was highly respected by those -who hod hoi? ac quaintance; Mr. Magee was a junk-dealer hy occupation, and resided in South Market Street.
