Melancholy Accident.-The most unfort,i- nate incident which occurred at Trenton Falls. on Saturday, the 21st ult. has created as deep a sensation, and thrown as sad gloom upon our village, as perhaps any local occur renee within our recollection. As many diff ferent impressions may probably be enter tained by the public, and some misconception prevail. we have thought it our duty, and a melancholy one it is,to publish correct state- ment of the facts so far as they have come to our knowledge.

 A party ofstrangers, among whom were a MT. Sudan of New York, and his lady, two sons, and two daughters, left this village on Friday afternoon, for Trenton Falls: On Saturday morning they commenced their sur ! vey of the interesting scenery, and had arriv- ed at the fourth fall, passing in perfect safety all those points which are attended with any ! difficulty. Miss Eliza Sudan, who is the 1 subject of our notice. and her sister were un- der the charge ofa Mir. Lang, of New York, and on coming to the point where a some. what narrow passage was presented, (thOugh by no means esteemed hazardous one,) it was proposed that they should turn and re- trace their steps. To this Miss Sudan ob- iected; adding, in the fitness of buoyant spir- it's, and gratifed feeling, that she was never so delighted in her life, and wished to prolong the pleasure.

So sudden and instanta- neous was the disappearance, that no cry of agony burst from the lips of the unfortunate lady. The distress of the members compos- ing the party may be conceived--no words that we can use, could possibly convey an l. dea, ofthe sudden transition from the enjoy ment in which all had been partaking, to the | grief from whose influence no one with hu- man feelings could affect an exemption. The most unceasing efforts were now made to effect the recovery of the body; and though they were continued throughout the day, it was not until 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, that ii was found. The funeral obseques were performed in this village on the eSd, and the body, attended by multitude ofour citi- zens, whose.sympathies were strongly and ac- lively awakened by the distressing occurrence inferred in our village church yard.

 It may not be improper in closing our brief notice, to say that this is the first accident that ever occurred in the thousands of visits that have been made to Trenton Falls--that
