A new bridge is being erected there and
the child got on to an abutment and was
seen by some ladies passing. No partic-
ular attention seems to have been given
the little fellow however. Soon he was
missed by his mother, and search was
made about the village. No trace being
found of him, the fact of his being seen
by the ladies on the bridge led to
search for the body in the river, and it
was found about 10 o'clock the same
evening just below the bridge in the wa
ter about ten feet. This with like acct
dents constantly occurring should lead
to greater care in guarding all unfnish-
ed work where any liability from such
accidents exists, and in instances like
the above, greater care on the part of
every one to warn or rescue people, es-

Charles Bliss of Richford, while
intoxicated, threatened the life of his
daughter, and she, being frightened fled
to her uncle's house. Next he demol-
ished sewing machine, and then sink,
and finally struck his wife in the face
with a fire shovel, cutting severe cash
in her cheek. She bled so profusely
that physician was sent for. Mr.. Bliss
was soon after arrested, and was tried
before Justice Gibson, under two sepa-
rate charges-for intoxication and for
assault and battery. He pleaded guilty
on the first charge, and was fined So and
costs. On the second charge he waived
an examination, and gave bail in the
sum of $500 for his appearance at the
next term of the County Court. Mr..
Bliss is farmer in comfortable circum-
stances, and, when sober is one of our
best citizens. His case is but another
instance of the destroying influence of
rum.
