SAD ENDING TO AN EXCURSION. From the
philadelphia Ledger, June 16.l-On Satlr-
day morning last, eight or ten young men
belonging to the Oxford Literary Society,
attached to the Oxford Presbyterian church,
in this city, started on an excursion to WI.
minstou and the Brandywine. The party
stopped at Chester on the way down, re-
naming there sh ort time, and then taxing
another train to Wilmington, arriving there
about IL 4. NJ. The party, without stop
ping in the city, proceeded to the Brandy
wine, and upon reaching the creek near
Riddles mill. some Of them proposed oath-
ing. Only three of the party, Morton
Stafford, Caleb l.. Haddock, and Frank
f. Yvst, ucceded to the proposal, the
two last being the first to go into
the water. The young men evidently
thought that the creek was shallow
at the place selected, from the fact that, not
withstanding Iost and Haddock could not
swim, they were The first to jump into the
water. But they soon discovered their mis-
take, and ut once made an outcry for help,
TO which Stafford and the other companions
responded, but without avail, the young men
sinking for the last time before any valuable
assistance could be rendered them. The
water at the place related for bathing is about
thirty feet deep, and it was not until near five
O'Clock in the afternoon That the bodies were
recovered and sent to Philadelphia. Had
dock, one of the unfortunate young men,.
was aged eighteen years, and was the son OF
Dir. John A. Haddock, the well.known job
printer, on Third street below Chestnut. ts .ae
resided with his father at 1886 North fn'
teenth street. Yost, his unfortunate com.
paniou, was about nineteen years old. de he
resided with his widowed mother at looo
Columbia avenue.
