SINGULAR CASE OF DRowNING.-C. e. l..
Dudley, sophomore in Madison University,
n. Y, was drowned Saturday, July 10th,
and the Hamilton Republican gives the partic-
uars:
1.-The facts connected with this sudden be-
reavement are these Mr.. Jnstus V Vinton,
son OF the late DIR. Vinton, missionary to Bur-
nah, and of the same class, started with the
deceased on bathing excursion to- Madison
reservoir, and reached the pond late in che
afternoon. After swimming about some time,
they swan frUm the boat they had with them
to the island, where they lift their clothes,
distance Of fifteen or sixteen rods Mr.. VIM
ton then said he would swiM back for the
boat, to which the deceased remarked that he
would accompany him. when they swan off
together When they had proceeded nearly
two thirds OF the way, the deceased COM
plained of being tired and Vinton told him
to be strike slowly, md rest his arms
on his shoulders He did so, and swan with
the assistance of Mr.. v three or four rods,
ana when within about q rod of the boat,
suddenly he clnsped his arms around Mr.. V.
excaiming, "Oh, Vint |" when they both
went down. After sinking to a considerable
depth, Mr. v. feeling the arms which pin
iqped his own to lose their hold in mes .ure,
- ''F'N'V S'A"AS " hisSuSdSb llulS6lly
and succeeded by slipping the deceased's arms
over his shoulders. After coming up and
taking breath, he dove for him, but saw no.
thing of MIR. Dudley. After two or three
more dives to the depth of twenty five or
thirty feet, the last time becoming SO ex-
hausted that the blood spirited from his nos
trils, he desisted and called for assistance.
Word being brought TO the village, a large
number of the citizens repaired to the reser-
Yoir, and dragged for the body nearly all
night, and continued their search Sunday,
without success.
On Monday, about one P. NJ, the body
was brought to the surface by Mr.. P. II. Bur
chard, who hooked into his shoulders with
spear in depth of thirty or forty feet of
water.
The singular manner of Mr.. D rs sinking
and relaxing his grasp ON Mr.. Vinton, led to
post mortem examination, under the direc-
ton of DR.. Havens, in the presence of Drs.
Lewis, Beardsley, and Hunt. The examina.
ton resulted IN the nearly unanimous con-
vlction that his death was caused by pulmo-
nary apopexy or sudden congestion of the
lungs, as it was clear he never struggled or
moved after sinking below the surface
