We have iome further .particular, of th
sad disaator oa Lake Uooreo. A jrentleman
who left Oaldwoll nays that it had been ascer-
tained that at least fifteen are dead or mis
inff. The wife of Mr. E Belknap, banker,
"Wall street, lost her life t also tier sister,
Mrs. Thwinp, wife of 8. 0. Tliwinjr Esq., of
Itoltbnry, Mans. Hoth or these ladies are
dnuirhters of Thomas Havens. Ksn.. of I'hila-
delnhik.
A gentleman who was a passenper in the
John Jav has communicated to the Herald
the subjoined interesting, but melancholy
tatement of the disaster :
AV reached Tincondernpo via of Lake
rhamnUin at 2 P. M.. on Tuesday the of Ju
1v. Thn number or passengers who left the
Ohamplain boat to pass through Lnke George
was larger, by two thirds, than at any lime
before nurinir this season, consequently there
thorn wni not sufficient accommodation at
hand to convoy all to Lake George (by stage
" four miles j a part were taken immediately,
, the balanco remained for Hie stages to return.
This nrrunied the better nart of four hours,
and many began to fear we should not have
daylight to view me scenery 01 me iiikb.
The captain of the lost steamer, I heard sny
at this time, thought his flues would choke np
and ho was afraid he shouldn't make as good
time as nsitifcl. A gentleman who wrtR talk
ing with him Mr. Sheffield, of New Haven,
!. I think will remember the connersalion.
, He told the captain that an hour or two more
i or less was nothing that we should reach
Caldwell's abundantly early, and that he had
better not crowd his boat. The reply t did
' not hear. Mr. Sheffield will doubtless re
member it.
We left the foot of Lake George a few mi
i nutes before six. We went along finely for
about eight miles, when I saw from near the
engine room a dense mass of smoke puff nut,
'then another. I was sitting on the after
I deck, above, with my wife. We immediately
ran down to the first deck, and took our posi-
tion on the extreme after part of the boat.
I At this time one of the crew came running
i that way, said there was no danger, and seiz
j'ed two buckets of water that stood near, and
'Started lor tue mock witu mem. l men rin
sed myself upon the outer railing of the guard
11 ml looked above, when I saw the flames
'bursting out. Just at this time the captain
'crttno running by where I stood. He ran
About six or eight feet one way, then back
ngtiin. I turned to my wife .to sec what ef
fect this exhibition of fright from the main
hop e in this desparate emergency would have,
when I found her self-possessed. She prom
ised to remain quiet until I procured sonic
ViTe preservers that he saw bunging in the
gangway.
When I tried to inGale them I found them
nge'fe'B ; they were either destroyed by age or
from some other cause. At any rate the air
(seeped as fust as I could introduce it. so I
had 13 depend entirely upon my ability to
swim, and of course unxiously watched for
the moment when we should approach the
shore. We, however, kept on our course,
tearing through the water, but not headed
for the land. I heard several voices cry,
"Step her !" "Tut her ashore !" but alas who
was to do it T I will not Btop to detail my
own experience. Suffice it that 1 got safely
to shore with my wife. As I climbed np the
hank 1 was so much exhausted that I could
nnt have stretched out my arm to have paved
the dear-st friend on earth I saw two bodies
under th"e water, drifting helplessly by, but I
could not. save them.
I was spared the most harrowing sight,
while all were in the water, for alter I had
lumped from the boat she passed a little head
long or point, and from my position the strug
gles oflho 6nfferir.gr were shut from my sight.
The boat took tire at or near twenty minutes
after six and from the time the first smoke
burst out till she lay a continued flamo from
stem to stern, could not have exceeded ten
minutes. Fortunately we were within half a
mile of a country hotel kept by Mr. Garfield,
ut a place called the Hague. Your readers
will dense my disgressingfrom the narrative,
to speak a word of the noble hearted inmates
or that bouse. They opened every room,
closet and chest, to try and aid their suffering
guest. Even their maids gave freely tho
lust rug of under clothing, and only regretted
t hat they could not do more The neighbors
I understood, were equally kind. There was
one store ra the place, and the owner plnced
tvery thing thcrcing at the service of the half
clud pitpsengers. llo tola every one to neip
themselves and make out their own memor
n ml n m, I sincerely hope he lost nothing by
his generosity.
We had not been long at tho hotel before
they began to bring in the dead bodies. Jt
was not till then that any fully appreciated
tho danger from which they had escaped.
The remains of Miss Hensltaw, from New
Orleans, were brought to the hotel, and there
were somo part of tho body that retained
warmth. Every effort was made by the ladies
present to'resuscitate her, but it was too lute.
She was a beautiful creature, just 18 years of
oge, and the only daughter ot parents that
had lavished everything that money could
bring upon her education, which she had just
completed, and was making this northern trip
under thv protection of her uncle ami his wife
J. A W lui and lady. I had observed them
on the boat before and shortly alter we star
ted, so happy so cheerful, everything niuft
have looked so beautiful to her; she saw her
pathway filled with ropes, and trod so gaily
along that it seems as though there could not
have been a cloud shadowed upon the morn-.
nig ol lier life.
Mrs. Thwing and her sister, Mrs. Belknap
of New York, each was advised to take a
chair and jump overboard, in the hope that
the cnuir would sustain them nutil assistance
could be rendered. Mr. Thwing took his lit
tle boy in his onus and jumped over, and by
great eilort succeeded in getting to the shore
and luuding him on the rocks. He then went
b.ck for his wife, but she was not to be round
Mr. Pritcbard supported bis wife in his arms
until they were picked up. She had sunk
twice, aud he was nearly exhaustsd before as
sistance reached them. Miss Gore, another
of the party, swam to shoro : Miss Kent floa.
ted on the water until she was picked up.
The bodies of those who were lost wt re found
within an hour aud three quarters after the
accident.
Mrs. Thwing was the mother of a noble
little buy whu was travelling with her They
rode iu the couch will) me from lake to lake.
The bright sayings of the dear little fellow
made many iuquire his age. How proudly
tins fond mother glauced at her darling boy
as he told bis year. A gentleman remarked
that little rt'ulter had a tine head. "We
hope," said the doatiug parent, "that there is
something in it, for we have taken great care
iu his training " Too sadly were her words
verified. When tho little sufferer had got
ufe to shore from the wreck be saw his help
less mother floating beneath the surface of
, the water ; he sprang to save her, but was
held by those whose feeble arms were as help
less as his own. He then knelt upon the
stones and poured fortu a fervent prayer to
God to save his poor mother j but no, her
doom was sealed, and she is now an angel in
heaven. Her widowed husband and orphan
child have gone to their desolate hearth, fol
lowed by the remains of ber who had made
their home the happiest spot ou earth.

NIGHT scAne II A TOCKO LAtf 9 BED
CHAMBER.
Last Tuesday nfght, which will be remem
bered as one or the warmest or the season, a
young lady of the "West End" was excessive
ly frightened at A little circumstance which
transpired about the hour of midnight. The
young lady, whose beauty is only equalled by
her modesty, and whoBe "eye's dark charm"
has cnusod more than one waistcoat to palpi
tate, had retired to her chamber, where, after
laying aside the greater portion or her wear
ing apparel she committed herself to the
tender embrace or Morpheus, whose soothing
influences were aided by the cooling breath
of Zephyr, who came in at the open window
and fanned her cheek with his feathery wings.
In a word, she was snoozingly finely or, to
use the language of a modern bard
"Sleep oa her velvet eyelids lightly preaeeil
And dream)' sights nphenvcd lier snowy breast,
While starlHnms, Ihm' hei window softly creeping,
Stole to ber conch and trembling there etoud peeping."
It was, as we said, about might when the
young lady was roused from her delicious
slumber by hearing a noise at the window,
llulf unclosing her eyes, she was startled by
the sight of a corpulent form, apparently
struggling to gain admission to her chamber
through the open window. It struck her at
once that the intruder had been cuught by
the rear of his unmentionables, by a nail or
same other ehnrp instrument, as he seemed
to be struggling with a stern determination
to euter. Her first thought was to Taint
her Becond, to give the fellow a push her
third, to jump out of tho window as soon as
be jumped hi her fourth, to scream, which
wus immediately carried into effect. Tho
whistle of the locomotive on the Iron Moun
tain rond, when it gave it first snort on the
4th or July, was but a whisper to the screams
or the young girl. The whole house, and hair
the neighborhood, were awnkened by the out
cry. The old folks, three female servants,
and two big brothers rushed to the rescue,
and broomsticks, mop-handles and bootjacks
flashed in the gaslight, as the household en
tered the chamber of the frightened beanty.
An examination or the figure in the window
dispelled the fears or all, and changed the
screams or the young lady into shouts ol
laughter. The imaginary "fat man" was only
her own darling honj,ed skirt, which she had
hung on a hook near the window, and which
the wind had inflated and set in motion.
There was no more sleeping iu tho house that
night.. Louis Herald.
