600 yards of wooilfn cloth, 36 inches in

BRANDON, WEDNESDAY, AUG. q, 1889.

The readers of the Telegraph, generally, will
pardon me for inficting them a short, private
letter, written to friends on experiencing deep
affection. My apology is this: My duties to the
Telegraph viii prevent my writing, at length, to
any considerable proportion of my numerous rel
atves, friends and acquaintance, making known to
them, as is desirable, some of the circumstances
attending the case. Now all these are readers of
the Telegraph; and for their sakes, as well as my
own, others asked to pardon the departure from
common practice. The letter is as follows:
Brandon, Aug. 10, 1889.
Dear Brother and Sister:
l write you few lines, hast
lily, to inform you that our Harriet Maria
sleeps with the silent dead! o, how
frail the tenure by which we hold on
upon the things of earthl
.The dear delights we here enjov.
And fondly call our own,
Are but short favors borrowed now,
To be repaid anon.''
She was drowned in the mill-pond, near
our door, last Tuesday, 18th inst,) be-
tween the hours of 8 and 4 p. M. Ma
ria* and Carlosf were gone to Pittsford.
l was mailing my papers at the office,
and Marsenat was folding Harriet and
the other little ones were left in the house
with the hired girl. At about o'clock |
had occasion to go to the house, when the
hired girl met me at the door and told me
that she had not seen Harriet. for some
time-she had been looking for her, but
could not find her. | Immediately made
search, and soon alarmed friends and
neighbors, fearing she was in the pond
Diligent search was made, until near 6
o'clock, when my awful apprehensions
were exchanged for an overwhelming re-
atty! The lifeless body of our dear child
was drawn ashore. One OF the large
number of persons who were making
search was using pole with hook at
tached to it, which found and caught the
skirt of her dress. Physicians and other
friends took all proper measures for re-
vivifcation, but to no purpose. Her body
had been in the water more than two
hours. Her spirit had doubtless gone to
Him who gave it; and we were not to
enjoy its society any more on earth.
Maria and Carlos reached home al
about 9 o'clock. They did not receive
the heart.rending intelligence until they
arrived at the door. 0, what momen,
