"About six weeks ago, Us young Indian Of the st.
Regis tribe, named Lasar Tarble, was amusing him
sefin the exercise of skating the st. Regis River,
about mile above the village OF that name, he in
cautiously slipt into air hole His cries soon
arrested the attention of some Indians who were
returning from Hogansburg by land road separated
from the river by a small thicket of woods. The
Indian death cry was a sufficient signal to inform
them that friend was in distress. The whole party
consisting of SIX or seven persons, left their horses
and sleghs and ran in the direction from whence the
cry came, and discovered the unfortunate boy,

stopped at the verge of the ice, except oncthis
an uncle of the boy he did not hesitate, but plunged
into the water perfectly undismayed by the awful
prospect before him, Of which he was cautioned by
his then sinking nephew, in these words, "Uncle do
not come after me, or you will perish with me-" He
swan a few rods when he met bar ice that sepa-
rated him from the air hole in which his nephew
he used all the strength he was master Of TO break
the ice with his arms, blu. finding it mpracticabe, he
Owed under it distance of about tweny-our feet,
and reached the side of his nephew who had already
sunk below the surface:-he caught him, and with
effort of Hercuean strength threw him on the
ice, when with very little assistance, he might have
been saved, but being quite benumbed and probably
nsensibe of his danger, he slid back into the water
and was drowned.
The generous uncle, whose name deserves to be
recorded, Juan Baptist Terrence was, by the exer-
tion made in swinging his nephew on the ice, driven
under it the opposite side and was seen floating
down with the current by the persons above, ut
distance of about or 10 feet from the ayr hole. In
the presence of mind to cndcavor to break the lee
with his head, but twice unsuccessful, when,
IN his toords, desperation impelled him to one
moro effort, mot, however, before he had taken a
considerable quantity of water,) he managed with
the motion Of his hands and feet TO gam the bottom,
and with bold spring drove his head through tho
ice, where he must yet have persisted had he not been
rescued by those ON the ice. l saw him six days
after the occurrence, he appeared quite recovered,
except the top of his head, which was dreadfnlly
bruised"
