 On Sunday afternoon, March l4th, a
 MT. Frazier of Ellsworth, was attempting
 to pass from West Cornwall to Cornwall
 Bridge. on the west side of the river, with
 a horse and buggy. When short distance
 below the former place he found himself in
 the midst of overfowing water. Being un-
 able to see where the road was, he got out
 of it, and horse, buggy and driver, were thrown into the water The man after
 much effort succeeded in getting out, but
 the horse and wagon, went down the river
 and were lost. ...
 On the night of the Thursday following,
 Mir. Frank Starr, of Warren, in attempting to pass over the same road on horse back came near drowning at the same place.
 Finding himself in deep water, he trusted to his horse to carry him through, but the latter soon got off the track, and both went into the river. They happened to fall into a deep eddy where the water circled around towards the shore. Mir. Starr could not swim, but heavy overcoat that he had on buoyed him up, and the eddying current brough Int him so near the shore that he was able to reach some bushes, and thus. he saved his life The horse disappeared in the darkness, and went down the stream: He was found the next day. some distance below, on the opposite side of the river where he had effected a landing, without having received much apparent injury
