cent, 10 say the least. Both men and wo-
men were required TO strip to their lnen,

river bank.
The elder led an old man, aged about so
wears, hy the name Of Alexander Williarnsy
who resided near the corner Of Western
row and Front street, into tho water and
baptized him according to The ceremonies
Of the faith. After this, the old man, who
was good swimmer, struck Cut into tho
river for the purpose, il is said, Of taking ~
swim. Il is supposed that his drawers
slipped down over his feet, which, destroy
ing his motion, caused him TO sink. His
son, also named Alexander, aged abont 49,
years, and who wns stripped for bapiism;
seeing his father sinking, plunged in. alter
