We regret to state that the extraordinary flood of the
Do occasioned a !melancholy accident on Wtl!nealay, at
Fait of Charlton, Aboyne. A boat, with nine
persons in it, intending to ems over from the market to
the south side of the river, had but just pushed off, when
rt was carried alowu by the rapidity of the current, and
impsediately filled with water, by which the passengers
wore, with the exception of one man, immersed in the
ri In. By the assistance of moue people who witiles.o d the
accident, or were Mae it to the spot on the alarm bring
&vies, and the strenuous exertions of those in the water
Ahern:elves, six of the passengers were soon got to land,
While the seventh, a paring man of the name of Dernie,
.1111! with dilieolty saved by some people ou horseback,
who followed the boat, to which he still clung, a great way
.down the river, and saved him by extending a long rod for
his rescue. A woman, of the name of 'Thomson, and her
aidaii child, a girl about eleveu or twelve years of age,
wtrare soon, however, carried beyond the reach of assistance,
and unfortunately drowned. The poor woman was tbe
Sante.a of s largo family.—Aberdeen Cnmick.
