called onto record the untimsly death of our
fellow townsman, John King. who was drowned
on last Saturday, about eight miles, from
this place; the affair was indeed heart irend-,
ing, as Mr.. King had been absent from home
for several days, aud intended returning on the
Sabbath. The circumstances, as related 10 US,
are these The deceased started from Hartford,
some twelve miles from here, on apair of skates,
for home, but had proceeded only about four
miles, when he undertook to cross the e'chsnnei of
the river. and the ice being very thin.--iu conse-
quence of numerous sulphur springs and the

cries attracted the attention. Of two men, who
happened TO be near, aud came to his assistance,
one brought rail and pole, the other, small
hunting boat. Our informant SAYS that when
they discovered Mr.. King, he was holding ON
to the ice with one hand, and breaking it with
the other. He remained in this position until
they got within ten feet Of him, with the pole,
when he lost his hold and disappeared under the
ice. 1t is thought that when he broke sin, his
excitement was so great that he did not reccg-
