NEARLY DROWNED.

Three little boys narrowly escaped
drowning'in the sipe water, Saturday
evening. They ventured out upon it
during the high wind then prevailing, and
had gained point about fifty yards from
shore when their boat swamped. The
larger boy swan ashore with the SIN aller
one, in state Of utter exhaustion. The
third boy, who could swim very little
struck out for fence, some thirty feet
distant halloing Justify for
help but no help came. Unable
u reach the fence, he commenced sinking
when fortunately his feet struck the
bottom, and he gained the fence in safety
The escape all around was u narrow one
but no more so than might be recorded
every day. When we consider the char
acter Of the floats employed, and the utter
recklessness Of the youngsters using them
i, is TO be wondered at that there is not !
