Last Thursday, the sloop Newburgh, owned by Mr. Wm H DENNING and commanded by M. D. Lonsberry, of Matteawan, was sunk a short distance above Poughkeepsie, near Crumb Elbow, going down so suddenly as to take with her "Black Pete", of this village, who was in the cabin at the time, preparing dinner. He had no relatives or near friends to our knowledge, but our citizens will miss his dwarfed shape, peculiar physiognomy, and quaint sayings. How old he was, where he came from, or his real name we know not.

Capt Lonsberry and a young man named Robert MACAULEY of Newburgh, were able to save themselves by means of the small boat which the Captain had just time to detach from the sinking vessel.
