the congregations favor II.

was drowned In the canal, near the Great
Falls. II appears that the little fellow len
his home, short distance below on the
line of tho canal, in company with a driver
of q canal boat, and that he rode on one Of

Great Falls, when he dlsmounted, having
met several of his playmatcs at that point
The boys proposed taking bath in the
canal, but deceased told them he could not
swim, when his companions replied that the
water was not over his head. Burrows then
undressed, aud waded into the canal, but
the water being shortly afer turned In from
the lock, he soon swamped and drowned.
Mr.. W. Houck, bookbinder of this city,
plunged into the stream and succeeded In
recovering the body, but not until life was
extinct. Young Burrows was motherless,
and his father has been absent from home
