Catastrophe ON FRITCHE's LAKE
A party of gentlemen came from
Mogadore ON the first of September
for the purpose of boating on the Lake,
and hunting in the surrounding woods.
DIR. Ferguson brought his small boat
and took to the water, in the company
OF his son Fred. and Mr.. Samuel
Fouzer of Springfield. The boat was
considered too small TO carry three
however the Doctor being an inYeter-
ate sportsman, they put out, depend
ing on their superior skill in the man
agement of the craft. They had quite
cruise, but on returning to shore tho
little vessel upset in about six feet of
water and any amount of soft mud.
Mr.. Fouzer, not being able TO swim,
felt himself i'll very critical position,
and were it not for the noble efforts of
young Fred, he must have drowned.
When they succeeded in getting him
ashore, he was near dead, but here the
skiIful treatment of the doctor had The
effect of restoring him sufficiently to
get him home, where he was very
sick for couple of days. Next day
the party fished their shotguns out of
the mud and all was right once more.
l don't know the age of the young
hero, but by what can learn he is
not more than twelve or thirteen
years old. ROVER.

WE have to apologize forneglccting,
in our last issue, to notice the enter
tainment given at the Opera House by
Mrs. Hester A.. Benedict. Her read
fngs and recitations were most excel
lent. indeed they have never been ex-
celIed in our town. Mrs. B. is The
author of some most charming poetry
as also of prose which have given her
high standing in literary circles
Her book entitled ''Vesta" is charm
ing little work.from her pen, which
would be credit to older and more
experienced authors. She possesses a
splendid voice and her easy and grace
fuI manners render her readings and
recitations really charming, and rank
her among the "stars1 of the profess
sion.

Correspondence

NOiASSS kOHttohNG+
EDITOR PREss.-We noticed slight
error, in the Rapids correspondence
over date OF Sept. 7th, with regard o
the supposed burglars that broke into
Mr.. Cooney's store, which we ask
leave through the columns of the
Press to correct:
The boys, cove oyster cans, etc !,
were found by Oscar Crafts, and Or
rim Hopkins, instead OF Orrin Hop
kins and son, as stated by 2. nor is it
positively known who placed the
cans Of milk in the barn, or that it
was a tobacco pail the boys carried
between them when they ran into the
woods. In short. as near as we can
learn, there is nothing but circum-
stautial evidenced against them as yet.
Bntwe concur with P, in hoping that
not only they may be brought to JUS
tice, but that justice will always be
done.
Before closing we will mention a
few improvements that have been
made about town this season
Mr., Jeremiah Crafts has enlarged
his cellar to double its former dimen-
sions, which makes it one of the finest
in the country. lie has also repaint-
ed his house, put up new door blinds,
built a substantial board fence in front,
partly new silled and shingled his
north barn, etc. We think Mr.. Crafts
might justly be proud of his farm, for
it has often been remarked, that the
natural lay of the land is pot only
beautiful, but very favorable for pro-
ducing large crops OF all kinds pecu-
liar to our latitude.
Mr.. Joseph Allen has repaired and
painted his house, and hung new
window blinds, which improves the
looks of his location very much. We
are also about to lose JOS. kindly
smile for short season, as we under
stand he intends visiting friends in
Connecticut,
Mr.. Frank Squire haslately purchas-
ed new wheat-drill, of the Patrick
Bickfork Patent, that proves to be a
decided success. The old style of lug
ing bag, or pail, and sowing grain
broadcast, is past mingleing with the
good things that were, such as the
fail the cradle and the scythe, and
last but not least the little browning
that sat under the bush.

The question of constructing Water
Works in our village has been some
what agitated of late and is meeting
with considerable favor from many
prominent citizens. There is little
doubt that they would be of most de-
cided advantage in many respects.
Messrs. Isaac Linton and d. G. Cool
man, two very competent practical en-
gineers, have made an estimate upon
the cost of bringing The water from
the Ward pond to the viii age, and
after pretty thorough canvass of the
matter fix the amount at S20,050.
