Mr. Friz- zell was a character widely known about the istrict, his first notoriety having been ob- tained from the accident of the falling of the Chain bridge. When the tron bridge across the Potomac was almost completed, nearly thirty years aco, he wasemployed upon it. In moving one of the immense spans into its place on the cannon balls on which it was to rest on the stone abutments, it started and went down, car- rying him with it. When extricated from the Thass of crushed and twisted iron his head w>; found to have been so terribly mashed ‘lat nis brain was ooztug from the and hfs ilfe was despatred of.

He was a native of Virginia, and had lived in the same house where he died for over forty years. The remains were interred this | afternoon at the Tennallytown grave yard; the Rev. Richard Norris officiating. . THE Tug Boat Zera attempted to break the ice trom Kay's dock to the creek to carry down some scows Saturday, but was disabled by the ice and had to be potup for repairs.
