d little girl eight years old. daughter OF ar
rem Leonard, at Dearfeld Mass, on Satur-
day, April 80 About four o'clock In the
afternoon her mother had occasion to cor
rect her for some little misdemeanor. when
she became very much excited. and shut
herself in room, where she remained
about an hour, when her mother called her to
the kitchen. Her little brother, aged sixand
one half years, then requested her to 60 out to
play with him She then left the house with
him, saying she would go to the river and
drown herself, and started across the mea-
dows upon run, her little brother following,
When they came to the river, she said to him
ii he would take her clothes back to the house
she would take them off lietried to prevent
her, but she said she should be happy after
she should be in the water, and took OH her
bonnet, when her brother caught hold OF her
dress to prevent her going in. She broke
from him, and walked into the water where II
was low at the shore He watched her until
she reached sufficient depth for the current
to carry her out of his sight. when he ran
