and Long Street, was drowned in a els
tern on Thursday evening of last week.
The clstern was covered with loose boards,
and the little girl while endeavOring to dip

frightened that she did not wait to inform
Mrs. Hogan, but ran off to her own home.
Mrs. Hogan soon missed her daughter and
attentIon being directed to the oistern, she /
was found and brought out, and efforts
made to resusticate her, but were unavaiI-
ing, as life was already extinct.
Mr.. William Huffman, for many years a
resident of the city, and for long time one

lat the matter seems to drag. The exec

rites, and notified them of their appoint
