DIsTREssINe ACCIDENT.
Drowning OF Charles DnLin.

Yesterday afternoon, number of small boys
were bathing in what is known as the North
Pond, when one Of them, Charles Dakin, aged
ten or twelve years, unfortunately got beyond
his depth and was drowned
We understand that he was out on the end Of
log which projected into the pond when it
turned throwing him into the water which to-
ward the center, was very deep, and there be-
ing no grown person present, he sank for the
last time without an effort being made to rescue
him.
A man passed the rolling mill while the
drowning boys companions were screaming for
help, and remarked TO some of the workmen
that he expected some child was being drown
cd, and went screnely on his way. Mr.. Lewis
the foreman. and one of the machinists, Mr.
Edward Collins, at once ran to the pond, where
several men Had by this time arrived, and
two or three were wading about in the edge
Of the pond, trying to feel the body with their
feet.
Mr.. Collins pulled off his boots and dived
further out, the first time unsuccessmlly but
diving again, he saw the body resting on the
bottom, and rising to the surface swan ashore
with il, when every effort possible was made to
restore him, but without avail. The body was
rolled on barrel and stimulants and restora-
tives applied, and also wrapped in blankets and
rubbed vigorously, but in vain the vital spark
had fed and nothing remained of what brief
hour ago, was bright and laughing child but
inRnimate clay.
The corpse was taken to Mr. Dakins residence
on Bellevue street by some of the men present.
and prepared for intermcnt The funeral will
take place this afternoon. Mr.. Il. G. jackson
had everything in readiness in tho event resus-
station had been possible and it is thought
that had those who first arrived been able to
find the body that it might have been success
ful, but it was impossible to do so.
Mr.. Collins was untiring in his efforts but
the body had been too long in tho water, be-
tween twenty and thirty minutes we are told, to
render them availing.
The untimey death of the child is peculiarly
affecting to the bereayed parents, as for the past
year Mr.. Dakin has been in bad health, and
loses one Of the props of his family in his
child's death

Sun stroke and stroke of lightning, says DIR.
Hall, as far rs present light extends cause death
in the Same manner; the blood is expanded and
gases are liberated both tending to distend the
veins, which causes in the brain a species of APP
oplexy; this distention of blood-vessels induces
pressure on the brain, and consequently all loss
of sense and feeling the muscles are psralyzed,
all motion ceases, and the functions Of tho body
are all arrested
Anply cold cloths or ice bags to the head, and
mustard plaster to the neck, with something to
act on the bowels as soon As possible, But some
necessity in most cases, or death will ensue in a
few moments Skillful and eminent physicians
in this country, upon actual experiment, found
ed upon a true philosophy, have ascertained
that speedy recovery takes place within An hour
if the patient is bled from both arms in the old
fashioned way. From the largest distended
vein the blood may only flow by drops at the
Hrst second or two. but rs it flows frcer the re
lief becomes almost miraculous, and speedy and
complete.

Public Fountains i'm the city.

When the old webb house, corner OF
Cumberland and Crozier streets, was built, the
water used in its construction was hauled on
carts, and until recently that seemed to be the
only practicable means by which to supply the
demand in such cases
Recently however, some humane individual,
whom we commend to the favorable considera-
ton Of Prof Bergh, sent these one-horse water
works to the shade by adopting a force pump
to furnish the water used in the construction OF
Cowan, McClung & Co. $ building.
Now, while we do not claim to be philan-
thropst, we propose to retire John Jack and
other water "toters' by the same process.
Cannot our City Fathers, at comparatively
trifing expense, by means of pumps or hy-
draulic rams force water from our numerous
splendid springs to different parts of our city
Can We not have n constant stream of pure
sparkling spring water gushing from fountains,
say in Market Square, at the corLcr of Gay and
Church, Gay and Main streets, and other public
points
This may be regarded by some as q feeble at
tempt ut watcr-works, but let US not despise the
day of small things.
Will it pay? What say the City Fathers?

Epidemic Among the Fowls and Cattle.

We understand that an epidemic has appeared
among the poultry in this locality, which is
proving very destructive to the feathered tribe.
On yesterday, between 10 A. n. and P. NJ, we
arc told that Mr.. Preston BLANC lost hfty-seven
chickens and ducks. They die very suddenly,
some dropping which five minutes before were
apparently in full health, and the feathers drop
off before they are cold. 1.-THE malady spreads,
chickens will be scarce.
We are also informed that the disease among
the cattle is rather the increase, several cows
in the suburbs having been attacked, VIZ
would advise every one owning stock or fowl
to get supply of Major Bowlus' stock Yer

guarantees to cure many if not all the disease

-rulty between u Policeman and u
, Drinking Crowd.

Yesterday afternoon, about fvo o'clock, s
difficulty took place near Thornton's livery
stable. on Gay street, in which Policeman Ryan
We learn that Mr.. Ryan was sitting down on
the steps Of grocery store, when Mrs. Lyle,
who keeps the Last Chance" saloon, came up
and requested him to arrest Frank Phelps, who
was in there under the influence of liquor and
very noisy. Mr.. Ryan Immediately went down
and took Phelps in custody, and was taking
him to the calaboose when, just opposite the
livery stable, Alex Stewart told the prisoner he
need not go unless he chose, who thereupon
halted The officer, not wishing to disable him,
summoned several of the bystanders to his aid,
but we are told Mr.. Stewart requested them not
to do go, and no one interfered,
At this juncture, VIM. Allen, who had been
drinking, it seems, made his appearance on the
scene and drew brick from under his coat with
which he struck Ryan severe blow on the
head, causing the blood 20 flow in stream,
This made the officer angry and he drew l,i,
pistol and fired at Allen, notwithstanding Nh,
efforts of Mr.. Carson to prevent it, the mot no
taking effect, however.
The sight of the pistol caused t',o crowd (,
fall back, and Ryan, seeing the oniIot had no
taken effect struck Allen on the forbead ca,,s
ing an ugly wound an :. breaking the pistol
The officer then let Phelps go and aTreste,

sistants went down and arrested Phelps, Stewar
and John Barger.

pcarance and were released while the other
were ! ept in durance vile. The trial of tn
