Two LITTLE GIRLS DROWNED WHILE
DARLINGTON last Sunday afternoon, the
18th inst, two little girls, whose parents re-
side in Glcnyilc were drowned while bath
ing in Deer Creek just below Wilson's mill
dam. The eldest, Mary Jane Kelly, aged ID
years, was the daughter of Smith Kelly, and
the other, Emma Clark, was the daughter of
Mrs. Annie Clark, widow of the late Barnet
Clark.
1t appears that about two o'clock in the
afternoon these girls, together with several
other younger children, went down to the
Creek, which is about half mile from Glen
vile. AT point near the road, and just be-
low the dam at Wilson's MILL an ovcrhang-
ing bank covered with bushes hides the wa
ter from the view of passers by. AT this
point the two largest girls took off their
clothes and went into the water TO battle.
The water is for the most part shallow,
but under the bank deep hole has been
washed out, around which the water swirls
like whirlpool. The sides of this hole
are very steep, and it is thought that the
children walked unawares too near the
edge, and falling into the deep water per-
ished. Their little companions on the
shore screamed with fright, when they saw
them go down, and after some time their
cries were heard by Mr.. VIM Wright, who
lives on the opposite side Of the Creek He
ran to the spot, and dashed into the stream
at the point indicated by the children, but to
his surprise went down into the hole, in ten
feet water Coming up he saw the body of
one of the little girls, Emma Clark, tossing
about in the pool. He grasped it, and it was
with the utmost difficulty he could get with
it out TO the bank, The distressing news
flew far and fast, and in very short time
large crowd ofanxious friends assembled, who
searched the pool and the stream below but
it was only after search of several hours
that the body of Mary Kelly was found, UNI
der the breast of the dam, where it had
doubtless been carried by the water. No in
quest was held, as the statements of the Chill.

Tue COUNTY ALMsHoUsE-Wc recently
paid visit to the new county almshouse,
and were exceedingly gratified to sec how
well the contractors, Messrs Scarborough
and Silver, have performed their work
throughout. The building, altogether, is
credltable to the county. We were more
pleased, however, to notice the admirable
manner in which the building is kept by the
overseG, Mr.. Hugh Smith lie is surely the
right man in the right place. Not speck of
dust, dirt or litter could be seen in any of the
rooms, and the unfortunates who occupied
them were well cared for in every respect.
The almshouse now contains about 90. in
mates, the majority of whom are whites. OF
these only Il few are able to work OCCASION
ally upon the farm.
The case of one little white girl, about ten
years of age, who is a helpless invalid from
an incurable scrofuous affection, especially
attracted our attention. She is unable to
read, and lay upon her pallet, amusing her
self rs best she could, her thin, wasted hands
denoting the fcebleness of her body. Her
case is one that could not fail to touch the
heart of any one The good ladies of the
neighborhood can find, at this institution,
abundant exercise for their sympathy and
kind offices of charity, if it were only to
speak cheering word to the unfortunate
About so acres of the farm are in culiya-
ton, the crops upon which generally look
well; with the exception of the wheat, the
ground upon which it is planted having been
titled too much, the ovcrseer thinks. The
force to work this consists of one man regu-
larly employed by the month, and hand
employed occasionally by the day-wilh the
assistance that is given by the occupants of
the institution. The oversecr is pleased to
show visitors through the buildings, and the
place is well worth visit

STOLEN lIonsE RECovEnED.-The soirel
horse stolen from The field of Mr.. Richard
HarkinS, residing near PIeasantyille, ON the
night of the first of This month and which
the thief brought here and exchanged for a
mule, to Mr.. Pcarthrce, was on last Satur
day claimed by and restored to his owner.
The thief after getting mule and fifteen dol
airs in money from Pearthree for the horse,
sold the mule to Edward Ewing and then
left for parts unknown. Mr.. Ewing noticing
the advertisement of the stolen horse tele-
graphed to Mr.. Hawkins and secured the
fifty dollars reward offered for his recovery.
The whole of the loss seems to fall on Mr..
Pearthrce. He loses his mule and fifteen
dollars. The thief has not, as yet, been cap
tured.-Haore de Grace Republican.
