The northern papers contain accounts of
dreadful casualty-the loss Of the Steamboat
Swallow, which happened few days since near
the City of Hudson, New York. The boat
struck upon rock, and almost Immediately went
down. There were about 800 persons on board
including about sixty ladies. The New York
Tribune says: "

ing females. Among the latter had been already
recognized Mrs. Briggs, Miss Mrs. Wood, and
Mrs. Cotton, of Troy, whose husband came down
on hearing the news of the disaster, and was pre-

the board with curses and imprecations. AS he
struck out from the boat he almost Immediately
went down, graspInG the possessor of the board
