The QUOT of our village was dis
turbed on Tuesday last, between
five aud six O'clock, by the start
ling news on the streets that the
child Of MIR. Ii. N. Green, aged u
little more than four years, had
been drowned in the Lake near
Shackleton & Groen's m'll. Tho
facts as near as We have them are
as follows: 1t seems that it was
nothing unusual for the child to he
absent from the house at play
aronnd the mill and on tho dock for
hours at q time, aud rs he was seen
but a short time previous to the &C.
cident, no anxiety was entertained
by the family until aE older child
came to the house with the little
ones hat, saying that lie found it IN
the water close by the mill dock.
The Oldest boy went at once to the
place where the bat was found and
discovered the little one lying on
the surface of the water within
reach Of the hand, face downward.
He was taken ont and found to be
still warm and with slight signs OF
life, Every effort was OF once
made that could be to restore coI
scionsness, but Of no avail. II lis
supposed that he had, wien found,
been in the water about an hour.
lie was alone, and was not seen by
any one when he fell in. Mr.. Green
thinks, after reflection, that he
heard him when he got INFO the
water, for about an hour before a
child cried az if in distress, but as
it was nothing unusual to hear the
like very frequently, but little NJ
tico was taken Of it. frankie was
smart, healthy child, and great
iavorite with tho household. The
bereaved family have the sympa-
thios Of many friends, both in this
place and Manistee, their former
place of residence. Tho funeral
