Di STIII:S8I xo Accinsrr.--On Monday evening a moat
distressing accident occurred at the Temple-lane, Dundee.
An infant, only eighteen months old, strayed away from
its moth( is side, and disappeared. As soon as missed, a
search took place— some people went as far as Inchture,
while others went to Locher, under the impression that the
child had been stolen ; but all search was vain, while the
feelings of the unhappy parents in the interim, and
through the night, may be easier conceived than described.
On Tuesday morning the search was renewed, and at eight
o'clock the little innount was found drowned in a teak,
within a plasteter's yard, not czeeeding thirty feet from its
father's door.
