From the Ducyrus Journal 1T is
our melancholy duty to again record
the death Of child from drowning

tie son Of Samuel Garner, living at
the south end Of Mainstreet, next
door TO the Widow Brooks, 0as miss.
ed, and almost os soon a. missed, was
found in the cistern. The Guild could
not have been 10 the water more than
ten minutes, but when taken out life
was extinct. The cistern was cover
ed with loose plank, but is suppos.
ed that the child in endeayoring, to
climb on tho top, che covering slip
ped OF and the child fell in. This is
the flth accident Of the kind that has
happened 10 our town within the last
six years. We eau deeply sympa-
'hizo with the parents in their afio (
ton, IL having been our lot TO lose
doorly beloved boy under similar cir
cumstanccs. Death 10 afahily 10 al
ways sad, but death so unexpected
and in such a manner, is doubly 50.
