DRowNING.-On Sabbath last, Peter,
son of Christie Grayham, a youth sew
enteen or eighteen years of age, was
drowned while bathing inShearer's mill
pond. He sank once, and was res

danger of drowning, but returned to the
water again. Being poor swimmer
he soon went down again, and the ut
most exertions of his companions failed
to save him. After lying in the water
about four hours, his body was recov-
cred by dragging.
1t does seem that more care
should be taken by parents
Oh the part of their children, and by
bathers for their own safety. This is
the fourth death from accidental drown
ing that has occurred in this county
within a few weeks, and the prevalence
of such sad accidents everywhere is
