II curious Eact.-By lady from hike
Champaign, we learn the following curious
incident, which took place in consequence Of
the terrible concussion of the steamboats,
Congress and Phenix, off the harbor Of Fort
Kent, on the evening Of the 4th instant
On board the Congress were three beautiful
sisters, Jewesses, from Montreal, on their
way south, attended by their father. IT has
been stated that the baggage room, with all
its contents. mail and baggage, were crushed
into atoms and dropped into the lake in tw,
hundred feet water. These sisters, on ma
king Mr. Howard's Hotel, in the village OF
Port Kent, were inconsolable ;--nut so much
for the loss OF their trunks rs Tor casket
one Of them had in her trunk, containing
jewels to a great amount. Even this loss
they did not seem to regard 4; but the cask-
ct contained miniature painting of their
deceased mother, which could never be re-
placed. They proceeded south all the
boats in the vicinity having searched the lake
IN vain for a floating trunk. At length by
chance, in passing the shores of Grab Island
near Plattsbursh, ten miles distant from the
scene, the precious caskct was discovered,
floating amongst rocks, in good condition.
