MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT Nov. 7/1846 Private letters from Restigouche state that Captain Pypon of the Railway surveying party was unfortunately drowned in that river on Wednesday. He was crossing that river in a canoe, accompanied by a seaman and a boy, when the frail vessel in which they were voyaging unfortunately upset. The men succeeding in reaching the shore, and the boy took refuge on the bottom of the canoe from which situation he was shortly afterwards rescued. Captain Pypon, it appears, swam after his Portmanteau, and being much exhausted, was unable to reach shore, and thus terminated his life and important labours. The body of the unfortunate gentleman was shortly afterwards recovered. Lieutenant Hendreson, with the remains of his friend, passsed through Newcastle on Thursday last, on his way to Fredericton where we presume they will be intered.
