sad Drowning Accident.
TnREE uIen sonooL rurLs BROWSE!

THREE HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS DROWNED.
A very sad case of drowning occurred
at Chicopee, Mass, on Friday afternoon
oflast week, by which Aarad Southworth,
Kate Hunter and Minnie White, pupils
of the high school all lost their lives.
Itappears that they with George Steb-
bins were party of four who went out
for sail on Gaylords' pond, after school.
Their ages were from Is to Is. The
Springfield Republican gives the follow
ing particulars;
mo event for long time has so pro-
foundly moved all classes at Chicopee as
the sad accident of Friday, whereby
three high-school pupils were drowned.
Young Stebbins, who survived, says that
he was sitting in the stern of the boat,
the girls being eithersid of him. South
worth was rowing, and of course facing
in an opposite direction to the one in
which the boat was moving. After row.
ing about some time, they turned toward
the upper dam, some ten or twelve feet
high, over which water to the depth of
IL inches was pouring. Stebbins soon
told Southworth that he was approach
ing too near the dam, who made some
reply intimating that there was no dan
ger, and very soon after the falling wa
ter struck the boat and sent it spinning
round, and the boat soon split in two,
and all were struggling in the water.
He has no distinct recollection of any
thing else. When he arose one of the
girls was with him. He struck for the
nearest shore and soon sank again, ana
when he rose was alone, and with diff
Guilty reached the shore, but much ex-
hausted. He was just able to reach the
nearest house by the assistance of the
inmates. This was on the opposite side,
but the accident was seen from the shop,
and some men Immediately started for
the scene, but had to go down to the
bridge and then climb over sharp bluff,
which took time; but they secured Miss
White. though too late to save her life.
This was about six p. m. As soon as
possible another boat was obtained and
search for the other bodies was continued
through the night Young Southworth's
was recovered about eight a'clock Satur-
day morning. The pond was carefully
dragged all day Saturday and through
the night, and the only result was the
recovery of some articles of clothing be-
longing to Miss Hunter. On Sunday,
the usual quiet Of the Sabbath was brok-
en- by the booming of cannon, fred over
the water, to cause the body to rise to
to the surface, but this expedient was al
so unsuccessful"

How TO AROUSE HIRED GIRL
One night recently DR.. Peck of St. Johns
bury, and his wife returnedto their house
after an evening absence, and found
themselves locked out by the servant
girl, who was sleeping soundly in the arm
chair and waiting for their return. The
Doctor rang raped and roared, and the
girl still slept. The Doctor then took
from his trunk syringe loaded with cold
water, dropped the window from the top
and fred The charge took effect in the
maids ear. She sighed, stretched, and
drew one hand over her ear and resumed
her travels in the land of Nod. The
Doctor, though surprised, was not de-
moralized. He reloaded, took sure aim
and fred long, drizzling charge right
into the whole wound. Presently there
arose upon the midnight air one of the
most terrific, frightful screams ever heard
in that locality The doctor dropped his
weapon, stuck his head into the window
and begged the frightened maid to hush
up before the police were aroused. In
due time she was quieted and the Doctor
was admitted, but he will never use a
syringe in such case again unless he
first notifies the neighbors.-Lyndon IN
