A gentleman related to us the other day
very curious but truthful circumstance that
occurred in the northern portion of this State.
Two children, about three years # age,
strayed without permission to pond covered
with ice that had not become sufficiently
frozen to be deemed safe to go upon it. Both
children were drowned and their bodies recov-
cred. A clergyman residing about twenty
miles from the place of the accident, and be-
ing acquainted with the parents of the de-
ceased children, brought his own boy, six or
seven years old, to the scene of the disaster,
in the hope that it would have a salutary effect
upon him, and warn him against like ex-
posure to danger. The father left his boy
upon the edge of the pond with his eyes
turned towards the place where the little ones
had the day before met their fate, while he
should visit the house of the dead to comfort
the afflicted ones. He had been in the house
but few minutes when the intelligence was
brought to him that his son had vcntured
upon the ice, had broken through, and was
drowned The story is sad one, but true to
the letter.
