Melancholy Event.--Drowned at Glou-
cester (Harbor) on Sunday last, during
II public worship, William Turner, Benja-
min Butler, William Smith and james
Smith. The two last were brothers.
These young lads, the oldest of which
was short Of Is, and the youngest about
Ia, we're out at distance from the wharf
in small rowboat, for the purpose Of
, fishing aud diversion. They were seen
Ny the TithiDgman, who ordered them to
come ashore, and go either directly
home or to meeting, but they refused.
Not long after when returning to the
wharf, and within a few rods of it, the
boat suddenly upset, and they sunk. to-
gether to rise no more. Another boy,
who was in the boat with them, was saved.
A man on shore saw them sink; but be-
fore they could be taken from the water,
life was gone-their souls had departed.
On Monday their remains were carried
to the Meeting. house, where funeral So
Identities were performed in presence Of
an exceedingly numerous and affected as
sembly.
1t is devoutly hoped, that this solemn
event, will serve as warning to youth
aud all others, not TO profane Gods Holy
day. In the multitudes who have been
drowned on the Sabbath, when sailing for
pleasure, when bathing, or doing unueces-
sary business, we see the judgment of God
his awful displeasure against the Sab
bath breaker.
Let parents be admonished by this e.
vent, to look well to their households,
especially on the Sabbath. Let them
take their children to the house of God !;
aad before aud after the hours of public
worship, let them see that their children
and servants are in the house, attending TO
the private duties of the Sabbath, instead
Of walking the streets and fields for a.
musement or mischief. Let them re-
member the curse which God brought
upon Eli and his house, " because his sons
made themselves vile, and he restrained
them not" And let them consider how
the proclamation of the Sabbath, tends to
obliterate all reverence of God and his
word, to open the way to all kinds Of
iniquity--to wretchedness in time and
eternity.

DrunEGrdS look ont Under the law
passed during the late Session Of the Le-
gislature, entitled, An act relative to
Habitual Drunkards,' an application was
lately made to the Court of Common
Pleas of this county Commissioners
were appointed; Jury summoned; and
an Inquisition returned, finding that the
individual (who is possessed Of very
handsome estate, and but few years ago
was a respectable citizen) by reason of
habitual Drunkenness, has become inca
pable of managing bis estate, and is vast
ing and destroying the same.
The Court have since appointed Trus-
tees to manage and take care OF his es-
tate.
Another application has since been
made to the Court j; and Commissioners
have been appointed. What the Jury
will find, in this case, time will determine.
We are sorry to observe that SO many
subjects for the operation Of this wholesome
law, are found in our county. But we
consider it duty to record them; and
hope that those who are addicted to the
excessive use of ardent spirits, may pc
thereby induced TO think seriously on the
subject, and refrain from the evil habit,
lest they make the cases, we record
thGr orrn.
