FRANKLIN CoUNTY.-Ve copy from the
Columbus Gazette the following items:
On Wednesday last, shortly after noon,
daughter Of Louis Rocco, residing at No
II West Town street, aged about ten years,
waded into the river at the foot of Town
street, and slipping off something, fell in
to deep water, and was drowned. Child
rem who were with her gave the alarm,
and very soon persons were earnestly en-
deavoring to find her. The body was re-
covered, but life was extinct. All efforts
to resuscItate her were unayailing. The
agony of the bereaved parents was dis
tressing to witness. No caution, no warn
ing, seems to have the effect of inducing
parents to keep their children away from
water courses. Such cases as the one mar
rated, are of constant occurrence.
