He left the Point on the morning of the day mentioned, with his wife and negro boy, in a sail boat, with a view of paying a visit in Bedlam Neck, and when a short distance above Moore’s Landing, the boat was unexpectedly struck by a Haw, and capsized. As the boat went over, the kel-Icck dropped out, and the boat was anchored. Mrs. N. and the negro boy succeeded in getting on the bottom of the boat, but Mr. N., being much enfeebled by a long spell of sickness, was unable to do so. The boy however, pulled him up on the boat, but he was unable to retain his place. A second and a third time the boy pulled him up, but each lime he lost his hold and fell back into the water. The last time, he got beyond the reach of the hoy, and after a brief struggle, disappeared. Mrs. N. and the negro boy remained on the boat until the evening of the following day, when they were taken off by a schooner. The former was so seriously injured by the exposure, that her life is despaired of. The body of Mr. Nuthall was found on the beach near Moore’s Landing, on Sunday morning,— St. Mary's BeaconATSt. John'lt;Held rlThe degnDr. J. E. Mlt; R.
