DERBY.
COLD WATER MEN-As Chas w. Skin
ner, VIM. Mccoy and o. n. Tilton were
returning, late in the night of Thursday
last, from an evenings fishing with torch
and spear in Salem Pond, down Clyde riv-
er to the mills at Derby Center, their boat
was by force of the current brought in CON
tact with tree, which the freshet had
overturned across the river, capsizing it and
precipitating the young men and the torch
| light into the rushing waters in almost to-
tai darkness. Skinner and Tilton seized
limbs of trees and by means of the same
gained the shore. Not so with Mccoy he
! being forced to swim for dear life. Being
carried swiftly by the current, he struck
his head against rock or root, partially
stunning him; when he recovered from the
shock he found himself clinging to root,
with great exertiOn he obtained fOOt-hold
and waded ashore A wonder, certainly,
that they were not all drowned, and still
wonder that they all found the same shore.
Daylight found their boat safely riding in
the mill pond Immediately below the scene
of their mishap, with a portion of the fish
therein. This was case of not too much
rum. but of too much water.
