Two GIRLS Drowned IN THE MAUMEE
RIVER. About o'clock yesterday after.
noon, three boys with two girls attempted
to cross the Maumee river at cottonwood
Island, above Maumee City, in two hcrse
wagon. The bors were Charles French,
aped 10. Charles Greed, aged 10, and Geo.
skinner, aged 6. The young girls were
two daughters Of Isaac Hull. Esq, aged 10
and Is years. The horses got into deep
water, and the wagon was overturned
The boy French saved himself. The two
other boys were tqken from the riverinsen-
sible by some men who were working near
BY, the little boy Skinner clinging to the
boy Creed. The latter was resuscitated,
but the former was past recovery. The
eirls were drowned not being seen by the
men who came to the rescue. They ware
the only daughters Of Mr. Hull, and both
promising children. Ii Is sad calamity,
calculated TO spread gloom over the COM
munity. Mrs Skinner came with her boy,
a very promising child. to Manmee on Wis
it during the forenoon, from Williams coun-
ty, where tacy reside. At last accounts
the bodies of the young girls were not re-
covered This event furnishes an admen-
itory lesson to parents not to trust young
and ineXperienced persons on such excur-
sions.-- 1olelo (O) Blade.
