CALAMITY.
A Young Man DrOwne1 in the Prsssnc
OF his Parents and All al cod.

The Troy IN. " Times of Aug. IL, says:-A
party of young people, to the number OF thirty
six or more, left their homes in Greenwich,
Washington county, to enjoy the pleasures of d
picnic to Lake CosSayuna, on Saturday last.
They arrived at the lake about four o'clock in
the afternoon, in excellent spirits, and with the
expectation of having delightful time. Imme-
diately after arriving, LIE Roy FaXon, young
man of about twenty-five years of age, with two
other young men, started for an island which
was distant from the shore about half mile,
with the provisions OF the party, in a
1at-bottomed boat. They Arrived there,
their return TO the shore. About mid way be-
tween the island and the landing they in SPORT
began rocking the boat, SO much so that they
shipped considerable water, and finally they
found the boat sinking with them. Upon dis
covering this, Faxon and one OF the other two
jumped from the boat intending to swim to the
shore. In jumping they overturned the boat
which contained the third who could not SWIM
He, however, seized hold of the boat and hung
to it until rescued from his perilous position
jumped with Faxon, swan to the Island,
while poor FaXon sank to the bottom, never
to rise again alive. The rest of the party were
standing upon the shore at the time, including
the father, two sisters, and the atfianced of
young FaXon, and saw the whole OF the sad
affair, but supposed they were simply tooling,
until too late to save him (Faxon). Efforts
were Immediately made to recover the body
with graphing hooks, etc., but these proved
unavaIing until Sunday afternoon about three
O'Clock, when they hooBed into the body in a
depth of two fathoms of water. Various sur
mses as to his drowning are entertained, but
the most accredited is, that when he jumped he
sunk 10 the weeds, and being frightened held
to them, thus keeping himself from coming to
the surface. He IS said to have been an excel
lent young man, and his death has certainly
cast GLOOM over the entire neghborhood,
from which 1t will not soon recover.
