bravery occurring In that village on Saturday
last, which deserves moro than ordinary CON-

! L. Carlton, Of that town, drawn on sled by
another boy, were accidentally precipitatcd into
the water, about feet deep, near the dam, and
Immediately sunk. George Burrill, q lad about
, nine years old, at once ran upon the ice, crawl
