DEow>rn.-Thc two children spoken of
last week az being drowned in Barton river
on the fifth inst. near the line of Barton and
Coventry, were children of Mr.. X. y. Pea
body. OF Coventry. Mary, nine years of age
and K Pa-kman nearly seven With sister
eleven wears old they went to the river near
the house to battle As had been their custom.
SATURDAY. evening, where the water was very
.hcal There had been heavy shower a
few days previous which made the river
somewhat riley. In wadiDy down the river
the oldest stepped unexpectedly into deep
water and stran"ed. The little brother and
sister rushed toward her with the apparent
intention of helping the sinking one, and
persisted themselves Bv the merest chance
the oldest, after sinking ard rising she thinks
twice or three times in her struggles, sue
ceeded in reaching the shallow water and
as soon as she could speak gave the alarm
The parents had n>t started from home and
had gone seventy or eighty rods when they
heard the cry that their children were in
the river. Upon reaching the fatal spot the
children were both out of sight and although
several ueI soon arrived. in consequence OF
the depth of the water and the impossbility
o. seeing the bottom of the stream. it was
twenty minutes or more before the body of
the little boy was found and nearly three
fOurths of an hour before the little yirl was
discovered. Every means was tried to re-
susciate them in vain. They we're buried
the following TUESDAY in one collin The
funeral was attended by larger concourse
OF svmpathiziny friends than often meet to.
gethcr on such occasions The funeral SER
wees were condncteh by Rev Mr. Tabor of
Charleston, assisted by Rev. Mr.. Gray of
Coventry.
