DEATH By DRowNING- We learn from
the Republic that two little sons Of Wa.
Christie, aged respectively ten and eleven
years, were drowned on Thanksgiving day,
in the Baraboo river, about four ,nsies
above the village Of Daraboo. The boys
were on the river skating, when the ice
broke through, and before assistance could
be afforded, both were drowned.
The same paper states that two young
ladies of that village, on the same day,
while skating on the mill pond near town.
had a very riarro~ escape from drowning
but were tinally rescued by two young men
who were near by. Boys and girls should
not trust the ice toe far.
